Y ang Hansen turned heads, opened eyes and elicited every other revelatory cliche with his NBA Summer League performance. The Portland Trail Blazers rookie models his game after three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, who has agreed to grant Hansen a special request on one condition.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic responds to Blazers rookie Yang Hansen’s viral request and rising “Chinese Jokic” buzz.

This offseason, a video has gone viral of Jokic racing a high-speed train in China. The 30-year-old was reposted by Nuggets reporter Katy Winge, whose caption referenced Jokic's pregame sprints. Fans gave plenty of reactions to the comedic clip.
