First it was rookie-year Pau Gasol vibes. Then it was Dirk Nowitzki vibes. Now, the Nuggets commentators allege that Nikola “Jock Itch” Jokic is in fact giving off Elvin Hayes vibes. I don’t know if Elvin Hayes vibes are necessarily of higher quality than Dirk Nowitzki vibes, but I do know that emanating the vibes of HOFers as a 20-year-old rookie is a good sign.
Perhaps it is in Jock Itch’s very nature that the vibes he emanates will fluctuate from one game to the next. Perhaps he is a multi-emanator. Certainly all the signs point to that being the case. Now we just have to hope that his vibes for the rest of the year continue to uphold their strong pedigree and don’t revert down to Nikoloz Tskitishvili vibes.
