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…

Nikola Jokic 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
It’s a shame that Nikola Jokic fell one assist short of a triple-double tonight. A real shame. It would have been nice for one of the best passing bigs in the league to have his skill validated by an arbitrary statistical feat. Oh well. A tied career-high is pretty good too. And the Nuggets won,…

Before you look at the title of this video, and before you finish with the rest of this description, watch these highlights and after you’re done, tell me how many points you think Nikola Jokic ended up with.

Damn. This video has a lot of midrange jumpers. If you count free throws, which are a form of midrange jumper in my opinion, the number goes up even higher. 15 points worth of points scored in between the paint and the three-point arc, and then a really lame floater/layup thing that ruins the flow…

“Hey Nik, I need some advice. Bad.” Nikola Jokic looked down at his shorter teammate, Gary Harris. “Of course, Gary. I will happy to give advices to you.” “You and Jusuf are always hanging around with chicks all the time, but I just can’t figure out how you guys do it. It’s like I try…

The season is drawing to a close, for Jock Itch and all other players not headed to the playoffs. It is now an appropriate time to look back at their seasons and judge them as “good”, “meh”, or “bad”. I think we can all agree that Jock Itch had a good season. Nobody thought he…

Nikola Jokic receives treatment I don’t give to any other player. Let’s say Emmanuel Mudiay gets 4 or 5 assists, like he did tonight. Do I show them? Forget about it. I’m not in the business of wasting people’s time with a few cruddy dimes interspersed throughout otherwise primo scoring highlights. Magic Jokson, on the…

After this impressive display by Nikola Jokic, I feel comfortable revealing my new nickname for him: “Magic Jokson”. I did a soft release of the nickname about a month ago; it is time for a full roll-out. For it to really work you have to pronounce the Jokson part like “Jock-sun”, not “Yoke-sun”. Other than…

The only problem with Nikola Jokic’s insane career-high performance tonight is that it raises the bar pretty high for him, in terms of how much he has to score for it to be highlight-worthy. 15 or 16 points doesn’t seem like a whole ton when he has scored 27 in a single game, does it?…
