After their duel in Chicago last night, Jokic shared his thoughts regarding his and Vucevic's friendship in the post-game conference.

"We have a great relationship, he is a great player. I actually don't remember how we met the first time but I was with him on the All-Star team a couple of times.

So, we hang out together, he helped me with some, let's say, personal stuff. And we play Counter-Strike a lot together," the reigning MVP said.

Jokic added that he is glad for Vucevic while the latter is getting better and better.

In the previous night, the Serbian center had his third triple-double of the season with 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists.

Jokic is playing another NBA season in MVP form, producing the averages of 25.6 points (8th in the NBA), 13.5 rebounds (2nd in the NBA), 6.8 assists (12th in the NBA), and 1.2 steal over 18 games.

On the other side, Nikola Vucevic posted a double-double performance with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Montenegrin big man is averaging 15.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block in 18 NBA contests.
