      But, when you're fluent in your native language and asked a question in your native language, you will have more to say because you're not trying to translate your native language into your second language. So, not a bit surprised.

      Any of us who have ever lived in another country and spent lots of time struggling through a second or third language can relate to the freedom he feels in this instant. You can say ALL that you have to say, in all its nuances. Love me some Joker.

    Translation for our non Serbian friends:
    Journalist: Nikola, LA Lakers were champions just 3 years ago and you now defeated them 10 times in a row. Do you have a way of absorb (process) these moments, when the (Nuggets) team is capable of winning even when the game starts completely wrong?
    Nikola: Yeah, I think we had a great strech of defeating them 10 times in a row, but each game is... today we were losing by 20 at one point, so the game could've ended up much worse for us. But somehow we always find a way, we trust each other and I think it shows on the court. Today, when he (Murray) scored that (last) shot, everybody (on the team) jumped happy, of course it's playoffs and everything, but we were all just happy for him for scoring.
    Journalist: So, you're trying to live in a moment?
    Nikola: Yeah, you have to, because tomorrow is a new day and we'll already forget all this, you have to enjoy the moment.
    To be honest, I'm a native Serbian and I didn't really get the whole point of the journalist question... 😅
