Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has a very short list of priorities in life. This list probably doesn't include other players' podcast appearances.
Jokic isn't known for being particularly enthusiastic or talkative whenever he speaks to the media. The Nuggets star does so to fulfill his media obligations. This guy obviously just wants to ring horses and take care of them.
Andre Iguodala may not have gotten the memo. The one-time All-Star and current NBPA director took the opportunity during All-Star Weekend to feature Jokic on his podcast, Point Forward.
“No! Don't do that to me. He's going. [instead]” Jokic said, pointing to another person outside the frame.
“Oh, him too?” Iguodala replied.
“No, no. Not 'too'.” It’s just him,” Jokic replied before cheerfully trotting away.

Jokic has been a guest on the podcast for years. The two-time MVP has risen to superstardom, clearly at the behest of the Nuggets star, but his media exposure hasn't increased commensurately.
However, Jokic have I previously appeared on another player's podcast. Nuggets teammate Michael Porter Jr. was one of the few people who succeeded in convincing Jokic to appear on the show.
Considering Iguodala is still not forgiven by some Nuggets fans for his decades-old drama, there's even less reason for Jokic to accept Iggy's invitation.
