It’s Just a Job

A couple nights ago The Denver Nuggets won the 2023 NBA championship, defeating the Miami Heat in five games. Nikola Jokic, who has won two regular season MVPs over the last three years, was dominant throughout the season and the playoffs and was named Finals MVP. After reaching the top of the NBA mountain he said “it’s an amazing feeling but it’s not everything in the world.” Various other interviews exist where Jokic reiterates the idea that basketball is not the main thing in his life and how he believes that to be a good thing. Imagine that. Imagine being an all-time great at your profession and somehow simultaneously avoiding the risk of being consumed by your practice. Perspective.
