Nikola Jokić: The Joker's Best Moments
A Look Back at Some of the Denver Nuggets Star's Most Memorable Plays
Nikola Jokić has quickly become one of the most dominant players in the NBA. The Denver Nuggets star has a unique combination of size, skill, and vision that makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses. In his relatively short career, Jokić has already had some incredible moments. Here are a few of his best:
The Sombor Shuffle
This move has become Jokić's signature. It's a behind-the-back dribble that he uses to create space for himself in the post. Jokić is so good at this move that he can often get by his defender with ease.
The Dream Shake
Another one of Jokić's go-to moves is the Dream Shake. This is a move that Hakeem Olajuwon made famous. Jokić uses his size and strength to back down his defender and then spins around for an easy layup.
The No-Look Pass
Jokić is one of the best passers in the NBA. He has a great feel for the game and can always find the open man. One of his favorite passes is the no-look pass. This is a pass that he makes without looking at his target. Jokić is so good at this pass that he can often fool the defense and create an easy scoring opportunity for his teammates.
The Game-Winning Shot
Jokić has hit some big shots in his career, but none was bigger than the game-winning shot he hit against the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2020 playoffs. With the game tied and only seconds remaining, Jokić drained a three-pointer to give the Nuggets the win.
The MVP Season
In the 2020-21 season, Jokić had an MVP-caliber season. He averaged 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. He also led the Nuggets to the third seed in the Western Conference. Jokić was named the MVP of the league for his efforts.
These are just a few of the many great moments that Nikola Jokić has had in his career. He is one of the most talented and exciting players in the NBA, and he is still only 26 years old. Jokić has the potential to be one of the best players in the league for many years to come.
