Nikola Jokić was the hero of his team for the umpteenth time, showing that it's really rare for anyone to stand in his way. The Serbian basketball player performed brilliantly in last night's match, and the well-known Denver coach had words of praise for him.
Denver coach Mike Malone said that Nikola Jokic has an incredible feel and ability to hit shots.
Denver basketball players beat Utah, and Jokić scored a basket from half court in the last moments of the first half.
"Someone told me a few weeks ago that if Jokić made all those desperate shots, he would be the league leader in three-point shooting percentage. But what's great about him is that he doesn't care, he'll shoot because he believes the ball will go in. After the game, I asked him if he thought the ball would go in the basket, he replied that he expected it because of the way he threw the ball," said Malone.
His great performances caused a barrage of positive comments both from experts and former NBA players, as well as from fans who desperately want to see him in their NBA team.
Malone continued, stressing that Jokić continues to find ways to impress and added that it is really difficult for a player who has already achieved so much. However, her hunger and desire to succeed can be an example to others.
"We all know we've been spoiled watching him, but the feel he has for the ball, his ability to hit shots, it's just incredible. That three-pointer put us up 10 at halftime," Malone said.
Denver's potential
Denver seems like a great team, with the potential to do big things down the road. The key to their successes will be the great form of the Serbian basketball player. The coach of this team hopes that Nikola will remain uninjured until the end of the season, and that he will be just as consistent in the coming weeks.
His form can make everyone happy, and we have nothing left but to enjoy the great performances of the experienced NBA basketball player.
