Denver Nuggets star big man Nikola Jokic had a very predictable reaction to Caitlin Clark's major compliment.
Clark, a third-year WNBA guard, worked Sunday night's NBC game featuring the Knicks and the Thunder. During the game, she had major praise for the NBA champion and MVP big man.
During NBC's Basketball Night in America on Sunday, Clark made it clear that she thinks Jokic is the best player in the world.
"I mean, there's not many people that average a triple-double," Clark said. "You're lucky enough to get maybe a couple of those in a season. He's done it all year long in back-to-back years. So it's pretty incredible, and honestly, he's probably my favorite player to watch. And I think he's the best player in the world."
Jokic, who isn't known for being too brash or confident, had a very predictable reaction to the major compliment from Clark.

After Denver's 116-93 win over the Golden State Warriors, the three-time NBA MVP was asked about Clark's compliment.
He brushed it off.
"We have the same agent," Jokic replied. "That's why she said that."
Jokic might be the best player in the world, but clearly, he doesn't love too much complimentary praise, if any.
