“He Needs to Be Recognized”: Nikola Jokic Slams Alperen Sengun’s ‘Baby Jokic’ Nickname

Jokic insists that Sengun is "an amazing player by himself" and shouldn't be compared to him anymore. "He's definitely a talented player. He needs to be recognized as Alperen Sengun," Jokic said. Sengun had 33 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in the Rockets' heartbreaking 128-125 OT loss vs. Nuggets. He battled Jokic, who scored 39, on equal footing.
