"Hard for NBA to sell a product when your best player consistently acts like he doesn’t care about said product. Whoops!" one person wrote. "He really treats the NBA like a 9-5.' 'He just wants to go race his horse.' OMG STFUUUUUUUU this gimmick is so old and was never funny," another said. "Bro is so annoyed to be the best basketball player on the planet lol," a third person added. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Joker isn’t a fan of media day 😅 (via <a href="https://twitter.com/nuggets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @nuggets </a> ) <a href="https://t.co/3hcWhookB6" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/3hcWhookB6 </a> — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href="https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1839358100996071479?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> September 26, 2024 </a></blockquote><script async charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> "This is why 'best player in the league' IS NOT the same as 'face of the league,'" a fourth person chimed in. "Jokic already in his bored WWE wrestler facial hair phase," added another commenter. Fair points, but if we're being honest, many NBA players probably feel the same way Jokic does about media day. They just do a better job of hiding it. <a href="https://thespun.com/olympics/nikola-jokics-celebration-after-winning-olympic-medal-is-going-viral" rel="nofollow"> Related: Nikola Jokic's Celebration After Winning Olympic Medal Is Going Viral </a></div></body>
