Denver Nuggets center and two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić is the greatest passing big who’s ever lived. In a game of three’s, the Joker stands alone
But in that swamp, a gigantic Serbian monster has emerged. He is tall. He is wide. He is not traditionally muscled, unable to jump all that high, but preternaturally aware of everything happening around him — his magical hands ready to dish, to dribble, to fire off to an open man be he cross-court or simply somewhere defenders aren’t.
He is also so unlike any basketball player who has ever set foot on an NBA court. Watching him excel is like if the Martian Manhunter came to earth, read one or two books that described basketball without ever actually watching it, transformed into a big, beefy body and then dominated, night after night, with a total understanding of “reality” and next to no understanding of “basketball” as people have played it for the last forty years or so.
No one plays basketball like this. No person could possibly have taught Jokic to stare at the ground, pound the ball into the floor with two hands, and then lace a jumper. Any other human would have to be 1) drunk and 2) alone even to try this.
