    There have been many players that love to play the game but they have no interest otherwise. I would suspect Jokic will be one of those guys for sure. But for right now - Jokic is very into playing basketball.

    Sounds like to me he is keeping leverage in negotiations with India. But it would be great once automation reduces costs for manufacturing for a large chunk of it to be done in America. I know Americans can't handle not getting a new iphone every six months so it'll be tough for those people.
