Nikola Joki�� & @luka7doncic are two of the NBA’s best players. Jokić already has 2 MVP’s, & a Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy after his nuggets beat the Heat in last year’s final. Dončić is a 5 time All Star, & the NBA’s top scorer.
“Basketball Nerd”, @JCrossover articulated how both have overcome an athleticism deficit with skill & intelligence. Luka gets to any spot on the court with his pace dictating the pace of defenses, & Jokić is not looking at you he’s looking past you… playing your coach’s scheme more than the defenders.
@ThePivot X J. Crossover.

Here we go. I am raffling off two tickets to @nuggets vs Hawks this Sat, April 6th. You must follow, like, and retweet to enter the raffle for a chance to win. The winner will be announced on Friday the 5th at noon. Good luck everyone.
Honestly, just an incredible win by the Mavericks. The Nuggets have lost two games since the All-Star break and it's been due to some insane shotmaking by Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
That's what it takes!
The highlights from this ONE game should show why Nikola Jokic is the single most skilled player in the NBA.
Floaters, wrap around passes, off-ball cutting, shooting, outlet passes, lobs, post work, pick and roll defense, coming off curl screens…
The @nuggets win by double-digits on the road for a 5th straight time.
They’d NEVER done that in their history.
Also….47-20 through the first 67 has never happened in Nuggets history.
46-21 last year WAS the record.

Finally some recognition for KCP’S exceptional defense from mainstream media (of course it’s JJ):
“I’m seeing a little bit of Derek white, Jrue Holiday, in terms of high screen navigation from KCP”
Stat padding was funny. Beneficiary of racial bias was unexpected.
But "Jokic isn't known for having a dominant post game" was the most outlandish claim of the year by a country mile.
