The article discusses an anecdote involving Nikola Jokic and Bones Brown during a game, where Jokic's response to Brown's call for the ball led to a misunderstanding. Brown called out 'Wolf! Wolf!' to signal a double team, expecting a pass, but Jokic interpreted it differently, leading to an errant no-look pass. This moment highlights Jokic's exceptional listening skills on the court and his approach to communication, drawing a humorous parallel between his skills and bat echolocation, which ultimately misses the mark.
Jokić explained why he passed out of bounds, telling Brown, 'Don't cut; I'm listening to your voice.', showcasing his unique basketball awareness and communication.
The clever nickname 'wolf' became a part of the Nuggets’ alert system when double-teaming, highlighting the team's communication dynamics.
