Nikola Jokic Gave a Piece of His Mind to the Mic Stand He Had Some Trouble With Following His Historic Performance in a Losing Effort

Respect.

Whether it be due to a faulty piece of equipment or our own clumsiness, we've all been there. There's only one thing worse than struggling with something you know to be insanely simple, and that is having some hero appear out of nowhere to make you look stupid by doing it for you. For that reason, we could all learn a thing or two from Nikola Jokic, who was not about to stand idly by fumbling and bumbling with some crappy contraption in playing to a sadistically satisfied audience while waiting for a patronizingly helpful hand.

Generally speaking, "fuck this shit" is right. Situationally speaking, "fuck this shit" is pretty tame considering the compounding of the frustrations he must have been feeling after collecting a record-breaking 43 points, 12 boards, and 9 dimes in a losing effort against the type of experienced organization you'd prefer not to face in a Game 7...

With the amount of heavy lifting he did in putting on a complete basketball clinic in the post during what ended up being an unfortunate elimination game, someone else can figure out the goddamn malicious mic stand...so long as they let him leave the room before they do so.
