You know, after all those high-20s/mid-30s games Nikola Jokic has had recently, these 19 points just seem lackluster. Only 19 points and 3 dimes for a guy who has shown himself to be a legitimate scoring threat as well as an excellent setup man. Objectively, my brain knows that his stats were low because he…

Nikola Jokic Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2017)
“Thanks for organizing this whole thing, Mike,” Nikola Jokic said to his teammate Mike Miller as they sat with the rest of their Nuggets teammates in a San Antonio nightclub. “This place is swarming with babes! Barkley was totally wrong when he implied that San Antonio chicks are ugly.” “I know, right?” Mike said, his…

Bad news for Jokic fans: Magic Jokson only had one assist last night. Maybe he ate a bad cheeseburger before the game or something and it made him dizzy and sick. Or his coach is sabotaging him for some reason. Anyway, there’s also good news for Jokic fans: Hakeem Olajokon had three blocked shots, which…

Nikola Jokic has moved into the stage of his career where he starts receiving assists for not even really doing anything. Most All-Star caliber players reach this stage early on; scorekeepers realize that, for the good of the league, these players’ numbers have to be inflated a bit.

Another game, another sick assist for Nikola Jokic. It seems like he has one, if not more, of those per game these days. Tonight’s pass du jour: an over-the-shoulder flip to a cutting Jamal Murray. He also had a nice one to Gary Harris, but it happened with him facing the player he was passing…

Nikola Jokic’s passing ability (or simply his willingness TO pass) must be rubbing off on his teammates; the Nuggets had 33 assists tonight, with everyone who played notching between 2 and 5 of them. That’s teamwork right there! It didn’t lead to a win, because Warriors, but otherwise, a great team performance. The Nuggets are…

In a way, it’s a good thing that Gary Harris missed that shot to win the game after Nikola Jokic’s intentionally missed free throw (spoiler alert). Can you imagine the Internet’s collective butt-pain if Jokic’s flop (I said it) to get three free throws with a second left resulted in a Nuggets win? Yeah, it…

The hype for Nikola Jokic is sure to be off the charts after this latest performance. And I can’t blame people for getting excited, especially when I myself provide highlights depicting him. But we have to remember that, despite his fancy passing and excellent advanced stats that… he… uh… don’t forget that… he… SCREW IT!…
