Nikola Jokic has a case for being the best player in the NBA.
He’s the second or third-best at worst.
That’s despite not being the fastest and definitely not the most athletic player in the league.
That’s why the fans and people at home were in awe after watching him throw an electrifying dunk in Goran Dragic’s farewell game.
Jokic threw an alley-oop to himself and dunked it off the backboard.
Needless to say, it didn’t take long before the clip went viral and made the rounds on social media.
That’s the only thing that Jokic doesn’t do, and if he starts pulling them off on a regular basis, the rest of the league simply doesn’t stand a chance.
The Denver Nuggets are coming off a disappointing season.
They encountered a Minnesota Timberwolves team that was literally built to match up with them and beat them.
But now, with Jokic being a man on a mission and seeking revenge, the rest of the league might not catch a break.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks appear to be serious contenders, making the Western Conference as competitive as ever.
Jokic and the Nuggets, though, are still the team to beat in the West unless they prove differently, even if they were eliminated from the NBA Finals the previous season.
All they can hope is that he doesn’t start putting people on posters and gets smaller.
