I asked Giannis what he respected most about Nikola Jokic. As a 2x MVP and NBA champion himself, his answer, about what he sees in Jokic, spoke volumes.
(Also, @aaronontiveroz with an incredible photo of Jokic on stage *thinking* he was the last pick)

Giannis Antetokounmpo started the game. Only dribbled with his left hand. Got baseline and gently tossed the ball through the rim for a dunk.
And then committed a foul to get out of the game. On the TNT broadcast, @BAndersonPxP said Antetokounmpo is done for the night. – 8:46 PM

Thanasis Antetokounmpo on ‘Coach Giannis’ and which combination of EuroLeague coaches his brother reminded him of:
