The Denver Nuggets' wing kept it real on what he saw from Nikola Jokic in their win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Nikola Jokic is a three-time NBA MVP. Something like that doesn't happen by fluke; he's been the NBA's best offensive player for years. The Denver Nuggets man has dealt with his excellence being normalized by this point.
There are at least three flops by Jokic that are going viral on social media, including one in which he fell backward to the floor after his momentum caused him to collide with Donte DiVincenzo, who left his feet and went vertical to defend Jokic with 20.5 seconds to go in overtime.
The Joker went bananas with 56 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists in a 142-138 OT win versus Minnesota on Christmas Day. Denver won that game despite being down three starters and what’s more impressive was Jokic scoring 18 points in OT! Those 18 OT points broke Steph Curry ‘s record of 17 points in 2016.
The Nuggets initially gave away t-shirts to fans featuring the Quesarito following the fast food chain's infamous draft night moment involving Jokić, posting a video of the shirts on the seats at Ball Arena prior to a clash with the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Nikola Jokic reportedly revealed how dialing back his interactions with referees helped raise his game during a dominant MVP-caliber season.
