Nikola Jokic is an incredibly talented basketball player. At nearly 7-feet tall and 250 pounds he is not the most athletic but the things he accomplishes on a basketball court are just as jaw dropping as a windmill dunk. His unreal passes and seemingly unstoppability near the rim causes one to chuckle at the magnitude of his skill set. This recently great play has clearly given the big guy a boost in confidence as he, as most young players usually are, was not afraid of the best player on the planet. Jokic went at King James and won, something few young players can claim. According to Harrison Wind of BSN Denver, Jokic spoke about his matchup with the King.

Jokic brings a dopey honesty that is without compare in the NBA so his nonchalance to this question was typical but revealing. Nikola Jokic is a superb NBA player and he knows it, now LeBron James knows it, and many casual fans will soon realize it.
