Nikola Jokic’s supposed indifference toward basketball?

These are a few quotes from this great Denver Post article on Nikola Jokic:

“They teach basketball a little different. They’re both Serbian. They practice perfect reps,” Braun said. “I think that’s why you see that Nikola doesn’t really see anybody in front of him. He shoots the ball high every time. And that way, in a game, it doesn’t matter who’s in front of you ... We never learned that growing up.”

“That’s why you see him, every time Wemby can’t block it, it’s just because it’s over the top. He practices the same way every time. He wants perfect reps. They don’t do a lot of reps. But they do perfect reps. In the U.S., a lot of it’s like, ‘Let’s shoot 2,000 shots.’ And over there, it’s like, ‘Let’s shoot 200 shots, but 200 perfect shots.’”
