He said something post-interview after the Finals Game 5 that his Mama taught him. Something like not being hyped when you are up and not too down when you fall. That's how I understood what he said.
Jokic won't celebrate too much and he won't also feel down even if he loss. That's what I see with him and I think it's a good thing. He is just moderate, not in panic, not overexcited so he won't do anything stupid in his life. That might also be the recipe for why he is good when he is on the basketball floor. He is just calm.

Excellent teaching by her mother. I believe it has something to do with psychology. Similar to what I've been trying to do for the past three years, but not quite there yet. I do this to keep myself from overthinking, to stay calm, and to be more focused, especially when making decisions about different stuff and it actually works, and I feel better every time I did it no matter what the result is.

It's difficult to tasks to stay calm all the time but if you can do it, it will work like a charm. We can see how fast decision-making of Jokic is whenever he makes the assists. I think being too calm has a lot to do with why most of them are successful passes. A millisecond difference can change the whole game.
Jokic may have done some stupid things too like how he got back against Morris, but it's all Morris's fault. Then, there is a time he clotheslines Cam Payne just because he is frustrated with the referee. He is still human but I like how do things when the game is on.

As he explained to ESPN's Malika Andrews, he left the Finals MVP trophy in the room of longtime Nuggets equipment manager Sparky Gonzales.

Who will not love this guy? Down to earth. Not pretending. So honest. Funny.
I believe he is going to get one more ring, maybe two if the roster will be intact, without injuries. As I said in my previous posts, Jamal Murray will be one of the key ingredients for another championship. Hopefully, their management won't break that duo.

And they will be back for more, I have no doubts about that especially now that they are more experienced when it comes to playoffs mainly Finals where the games are more intense and hard. Jokic, Murray, Gordon, KCP and MPJ will be much more stronger next season and will probably be the #1 seed again in the West. I know it's quite premature to say that for now but that is just very possible to them
