The prophecy is fulfilled. This is 5 year old Nikola Jokic in a Denver Nuggets sweatshirt. At the time he had no idea who they were, nor that he would one day lead them to a championship.
In fact he did it in a spectacular fashion, becoming the first player in NBA history to lead all players in points (600), rebounds (269) and assists (190) in a single postseason.
In other words, the absolute best in every possible way.
And to deliver the final blow, Jokic was phenomenal once again against the Heat zone.
Watch how comfortable he is in the middle of the floor, as he even decides to drop this down low to Brown and on the return he flips it up and in.
Then again, we see the 2-3 zone from Miami, he gives it up to Murray and quickly gets it back in the middle, another casual flip shot and another bucket.
And watch him make split second decisions in heavy traffic here with the entire defense around him. He quickly locates KCP in the corner and as we let it go, rifles a pass to him, the nice pump fake, into an open jumper and 2 more points.
Even with a heavy contest like in this situation we’ve seen him make these ridiculous 1 legged fadeaway shots.
And, in the clutch again Miami stays with the zone but Jokic goes to a 1 legged runner off the dribble like he’s Steve Nash.
Miami tried their best with the zone defense but Nikola just broke it down in a bunch of different ways.
Not to mention his phenomenal outside shooting. I love this set having him screen for Porter Jr on the curl, and immediately receiving a screen himself from Jamal up top and the miscommunication on defense makes this a completely wide open shot which of course Jokic is going to punish.
At the end he was extremely emotional as you can see.
And the celebration was even more spectacular. It’s the first time in NBA history that I see this little effort being put into the champagne shower. As if he doesn’t care that they won. That’s hilarious.
All of this is because there is still one thing on his mind.
And check out his pure shock when they told him that the parade is actually going to be on Thursday.
This is hysterical, you can never convince me that this guy cares about awards, let alone pads his stats like some clowns were trying to say.
Denver won this championship the best possible way. Organic, with some home grown guys, without a big three, or a blockbuster trade. Just a great system, with no ego, and all teamwork.
Oh yeah, and a kid from Sombor.
Speaking of that, you gotta check out this mini documentary I did about his childhood when he drank 3 litters of coke per day while his coaches were begging him to cut back on it. Click right here and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
