LeBron James and Nikola Jokic share one gift from the basketball gods that make them NBA immortals. They see a beautiful game muggles like us find so incomprehensible that all we can do is sit back and giggle with delight at the magic Joker and King James make happen on the court.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is mobbed after an outburst of scoring put the Denver Nuggets away during the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ 117-107 series-clinching win at AdventHealth Arena at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020. Joker, the most self-deprecating MVP this league has ever seen, likes to kid about the skills he and James bring to the floor.
I recall, however, being struck by the way Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, among the toughest defenders on the planet, compares Joker and Bron. Green insists the toughest thing about guarding them is their incredible hoops IQ, so high it’s impossible to out-think. Jokic, who will humbly admit he never dreamed of playing in the NBA as a child yet alone imagined scoring 53 in a playoff game, came into the league eight years ago, weighing close to 300 pounds. Through the willpower of a mind that imagined more for himself than anybody else could see, Jokic morphed himself into a two-time MVP.
