After being drafted by the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic has established himself as one of the most talented players in the game. He was awarded the Most Valuable Player award twice and is widely regarded as the all-time best passer for a big man.
Jokic is unquestionably the best second-round pick in NBA history, and the front office of the Denver Nuggets made the right choice in selecting him. Jokic also owns the record for being the MVP winner who needed the fewest points. They obviously saw his brilliance, but I wonder if there was a bit of serendipity involved as well.
Agent Misko Raznatovic for Nikola Jokic recently related a story about how Jokic was given a Denver Nuggets sweater as a child in 2000. The Denver Nuggets owned the sweater. He stated that “a little fate plays a big role in the overall outcome” and that owning a Nuggets sweater at the time “was a rarity,” specifically mentioning Nikola Jokic. “A little fate plays a big role in the overall outcome,” he added.
The Denver Nuggets will be title contenders the next year under the direction of Nikola Jokic, particularly due to the fact that Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. will return to the team in a healthy state. Jokic is mostly credited for carrying the Denver Nuggets to the sixth seed in this year’s playoffs, and the squad is only going to get more dangerous in the following season.
It is still an open question as to whether or not Nikola Jokic will ever be able to guide the Denver Nuggets to a championship in the future of women’s basketball. There is widespread agreement that he is already the most accomplished player in the history of the Denver Nuggets; the only thing remaining for him to accomplish with the club is to bring home the championship. I have faith that he will be able to succeed.
