A three-word answer that ricocheted across social media as a perfectly on-brand glimpse of the two-time MVP’s dry, unbothered humor.
The exchange followed Denver’s victory over Memphis, with the question landing in the postgame scrum as the holiday approached. Jokić’s brief response drew laughs in the room and quickly spun into a viral clip. Fans framed the moment as another entry in Jokić’s catalogue of deadpan media hits, which regularly highlight his reluctance to perform beyond basketball’s lines.
Coverage emphasized that the reaction was less disdain than timing and personality. Jokić often treats lifestyle questions with a kind of polite shrug, favoring practicality over flourishes.
