–He is one of the ten best players, or maybe even the five best players I have ever seen play basketball – Durant said about Jokić, as reported by the American website Sports Illustrated.
He then explained what sets Jokić apart in the sea of other basketball players in the highest quality basketball league in the world.
–I simply love his game. I love how he approaches the game. I think many people might not agree with me at this moment, but I think we have a similar mentality in the way we approach work, the game itself. I can feel that from a distance. So I have always had respect for him. And then you achieve what you have achieved in this league, you have to respect that – he concluded.
