I guess I'll enjoy that POR/DEN stuff more than that HOU/GSW thing...

This is so dumb and also confusing.

Dumb?
No doubt.
confusing?
Mmmh...
If any of my words or concepts happens to be particularly criptical for you, I ask you to point them out and I'll do my best to clarify them.
And if asking isn't nice enough, I beg.

What about him (I presume this is Jokic, though it doesn’t resemble him at all) makes him “The Joker”? Oh, that people that pronounce his name wrong pronounce it even more wrong?
It’s very dumb and confusing. This artwork is just a cringey extension of it all.

Let's get by parts:
-Your presumptions are better than your physiognomistic skills.
-He's a funny guy inside and outside the court, very fond of jokes. I wasn't aware his name was widely mispronounciated (Jokist?) but I'll trust your word. Anyway, he's being nicknamed like this since he was playing at Serbia, so I guess mispelling has little to do with it.
-I don't see anything dumb or confusing on it (no more than any other NBA player nickname, at least).
-This artwork I do find it dumb but I never use the word cringey (and related). I'm not overconfident when it comes to its semiotic.

I'm sorry I offended you, maybe you made the image.
Apparently the nickname comes from Mike Miller, cuz of Jokic's trickery (also because of how his name is spelled). Still dumb.

Anyway.

Am I offended?
I didn't know that... I'll try to trust your word again and I'll do my best to feel offended.
I'm a straight white male so maybe that will take a while... please, be patient.
Maybe I made it?
Mmmh...
I'll check that by myself (I'm loading too much burden over your word... I need to be less lazy).
I first heard about The Joker nick when he was playing with Serbian National Team but I was not sure about the dates.
Now I checked it and it was Mike Miller's idea, that's right but I guess is more due to his sense of humor than to his trickery.

Legit he's the kid who misses a shot and then makes an excuse that he's hurt.
