Nikola Jokic is now the first player to ever lead the NBA in RPG and APG in a single season.

Seems pretty valuable…

One heck of a ride. 🖤

This angle of Jamal Murray’s game winner is INSANE @BarstoolDenver

@The_Erinn @graceofthecurls lol spot on

[Tyler Warner @tyraywar44]

@The_Erinn 🤣 you’re right, don’t want to do anything too drastic to hurt his feelings or a ref may just eat a slap to the face.

[Tyler Warner @tyraywar44]

Mind blowing how much Draymond Green gets away with screaming at the refs. If ANY other player did that they would be given a technical immediately.

I really don’t think @espn is talking about the Lakers enough. Love the hypotheticals on what they may or may not do months from now. Keep it coming!! 😑

[Vic Lombardi @VicLombardi]

Malone said "put that in your pipe and smoke it."

Murray said, "when we win, they talk about the other team."

Even Jokic brought up the disrespect.

It's real.

And I love how the @nuggets are using it like rocket fuel.

[Vic Lombardi @VicLombardi]

I’m sure you’ve heard all the stories of Nikola Jokic — the unwitting superstar.

When Aaron Gordon arrived at his very first @nuggets practice, Jokic moved his shooting routine to a side hoop so Gordon could shoot on the main basket.

When people ask Jokic about his multiple MVP awards, he rolls his eyes and changes the subject.

When Jokic is pressed about his diminished role in the NBA All Star game, he jokes about how he’s the greatest in-bounder in All Star history.

But I noticed another side to Jokic recently.

I saw the quiet, erudite leader who needs not say a word to play the alpha dog in the Nuggets locker room.

Rookie Christian Braun held court in the middle of a media scrum one day when Jokic waited off to the side for his duties in front of the cameras.

Braun, ever-loquacious that particular day, started going into detail about how the Nuggets planned to defend a particular player.

Joker, coy but diplomatic, noticed the conversation headed in a direction that could reveal coaching strategy, so he did what any great leader would do: he stepped in and told Braun his media session was over.

“Very good my brother. That’s the last question. Goodbye.”

Braun didn’t bat an eye. Heeding Jokic’s instructions, the rookie stood up and mid-sentence excused himself from the media scrum.

Jokic thanked his teammate, gave him a friendly pat on the back, and Sombor Shuffled his way into the media swarm.

Thus began five minutes of vague Jokerisms and witty repartee.

Nikola Jokic never glosses himself.

He never criticizes a coach or a teammate.

He never demeans an opponent.

And by God, with English as a second language, he never lets a teammate divulge a game plan.

He’s an egoless kingpin. And he will snatch your soul on a basketball court.

Tuesday at Ball Arena is going to be unlike anything that we’ve ever seen in the Jokic era.

The vibe from Denver’s practice is that the Nuggets are locked in and ready to go. The energy, intensity, focus have there all week and were there again today: “When you walk into a gym, you know,” Michael Malone said. “This isn’t coach talk, we just had a really great practice.”

[Denver Nuggets @nuggets]

Your Denver Nuggets have clinched first place in the West for the first time in franchise history 🤝
