This also indicates a lively atmosphere in Indianapolis, highlighted by the presence of Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton at an Indiana Pacers game on a chilly Monday evening in February. Fortuitously, his hometown team, the Denver Nuggets, were the visitors that night.
Before the game began, Payton had a conversation with Altitude TV’s Katy Winge where he was queried about how Nikola Jokic’s basketball skills might translate to the NFL, leading to an amusing yet insightful response:
“I envision him more as a tight end rather than a quarterback,” Payton clarified. “I believe that’s why [Nuggets head coach] Mike [Malone] prefers to keep me away from the pre-game activities. We might not be able to match his basketball salary, but clearly, you can see his prowess. It’s not just about passing; his ability to catch and his exceptionally gentle hands are crucial. An often overlooked skill is the capacity to receive a pass well. Many lack natural ball-handling skills, which he seems to possess.”
“Additionally,” he continued, “we were just talking about his endurance and his consistent game presence. He has a recovery ability that many players lack.”

It was quite impressive to witness Payton provide a genuine and thorough answer.
With the Broncos head coach watching, Jokic managed to achieve a career-high of 19 assists, guiding the Nuggets to a 125-116 victory over the Pacers.
