I'll be Jokic.

How many combined rebounds and assists?

Doncic sucks at FTs, so Jokic would have the edge there.

That is amazing, for such a high volume player.

During one of the timeouts of a Nuggets game, they had a mini version of a Skills competition, for two contestants.

Two contestants had to dribble around cones, pass into a net, then make the basket.

The on-court host said that when it came time for the made shot, "I'll be Jokic".

What that meant was that the host would bounce pass it to the contestant, who would then catch it and attempt the shot.

Normally when someone says they'll imitate a NBA player, they mean a scoring move.

In this case, the host was imitating Jokic's passing!

This enhances the reputation that Jokic's most well-known trait is passing.

In this race between the contestants, the first contestant caught the pass, but missed the shot.

The contestant that was slower than the first contestant, caught the pass, and made the shot.

So it was a come from behind win.

@MHSL82, I hope you like that on-court host.

I can imagine other arenas saying "I'll be Nash" or "I'll be Stockton".

They changed the Ball Skills Game this year so that contestants try to shoot 3 medicine balls into their own opened top tower like container.

They ruined the game.

The best part of the game was the PA saying "I'll be Jokic" when explaining the game, and meaning that he would pass to the contestant for the made shot.

Jackson: Leaving Jokic off MVP ballot 'a mistake'

ESPN NBA analyst Mark Jackson apologized Thursday for saying he mistakenly left Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic off his MVP voter ballot.

Jokic finished with less than 10 assists a game! He needed 12 more assists (I'm not counting stats if I have to round up to get to 10.0).

Between Markkanen finishing under 51% FG and Jokic not averaging 10 assists a game, this is been a bad NBA season.

Jokic got buzzed up real tight.

Looks like he’s ready to peal potatoes.

So many potatoes.

I don't get the reference to potatoes?

 

[nuraman00]

Bumping this.

 

[MHSL82]

I don't get the reference to potatoes?

I am assuming it’s because of where he is from, that’s a saying for pulling in money or success. Now you’re cooking.
