Hansen also shook his head with a smile.
In a way, Doncic's words weren't wrong.
Over the years, the NBA has been introducing various policies to encourage offense, including the 14-second second chance rule and the no-handcheck rule from back in the day, both leading to scoring explosions.
In contrast, European rules and FIBA are aligned, with smaller court sizes, no defensive three-second rule, and scoring is more challenging.
Of course, hearing this from a rookie makes it sound a bit pretentious.
After all, Doncic has only played a few preseason games, let alone the playoffs, he hasn't even gone through a regular season yet.
"But he truly is the rookie with the most diverse offensive skills I've seen, and he's a bit like you, boss, the more critical the moment, the more he dares to play." Jokic then added.
"Looks like you quite like him." Hansen, picking up on the undertone in Jokic's words, responded.
Jokic nodded with a smile, not denying it.
