Did Mike Malone betray Nikola Jokic after his Denver exit?

Serbian superstar Nikola Jokić never wanted to speak badly about his coach, but when he left he decided to "stab" him in the back.

After the shocking dismissal of the former coach of the Denver Nuggets, Mike Malone shocked the United States and everyone in Serbia.

Malone's statement about the MVP award rang out like a bomb today.

When he was training Nikola Jokić, he repeatedly said that he was unique, a class above all and the MVP without a doubt. Now he has changed the board.

His favorite has now become Jokic's main competitor, Oklahoma City Thunder playmaker Shai Gilgeous Alexander.

Apparently, the dismissal was very difficult, so he decided to pay homage to Nicholas, who is neither to blame nor obliged to do so.

However, Malone is clearly angry with the Serbian basketball player for not saving his job, so he decided to throw low blows in front of an audience of millions.

"Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed why he's the MVP"

Malone is now an expert consultant for ESPN, and he used his first appearance to comment on the MVP race.

"Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed why he's the MVP," Malone said after OKC knocked the Nuggets out of the playoffs.

As expected, his words caused an avalanche of reactions on social networks. Denver fans are especially outraged and decided to remind the public what Malone said a few months ago.

We are broadcasting that message in its entirety, as well as a video of what Malone said.

"My message is the following - If you don't know that Jokić won three MVP titles and you put their statistics on paper, you call them player A and player B.

That man has a triple-double average, he is the best in three statistical categories in the entire league, no one has ever done that.

Well, in that case, he wins the MVP award in ten out of ten cases," Malone pointed out at the time.
