It seems to me that we can start using the term “legit” when it comes to Nikola “Jock Itch” Jokic. Here’s an example usage: “Nikola Jokic is seriously legit right now.” We can use that word when talking about Jock Itch because that’s what he is. After his first season, you couldn’t really call him legit because it was only one season and one season is not a large enough sample size to determine whether a player is legit or not. Now that we’re one-third of the way through his second season, we can officially proclaim that Jock Itch is truly legit. And that his legit season last year was not a legit fluke.
My friends, not only is Jock Itch legit, but he is somehow legiter than last season,. He scores at a high rate on great efficiency, and he does it while not just being an alley-oop receptacle like DeAndre Jordan. He might be the legitest young big in the NBA, depending on how pessimistic you are about Karl-Anthony Towns and how easy it is for you to ignore Anthony Davis. I wanna pair him with Giannis just to see what happens. Cool things, I bet.
