First and foremost, shades of Jokic being drafted, you guys.

How did Jamal find out that he made the all-star team?

He was asleep.

He didn't know, but he got a FaceTime from some of his best friends on a group call who let them know.

Wait, so they didn't tell him?

That's a pretty late nap.

He was asking about the moment that he was announced.

And yes, Jamal says he takes pregame naps.

And so he was in the middle of his usual pregame nap when it was announced, I should say.

All I can do is tell you what he said pregame nap for Jamal, much like Jokic asleep for his big moment on TV.

I asked Jamal, look, you wanted to take your time with this, not get ahead of yourself.

You said coming in just a good October, then a good November.

Now you're here.

Are you able to take a step back and feel a sense of pride over this?

And he said, yes, but honestly, I'm mostly just happy for my dad.

He really wanted me to make the all-star team.

For Jamal, you guys, he wants to make All-NBA.

He feels like that's a bigger award because it means you kept it going through the entire season.

Great answer.

He said, I just have to stay hungry.
