Nikola Jokic might be the best basketball player in the world right now. Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to their first NBA Championship in franchise history last season. He was named the Finals MVP for his incredible performance against Jimmy Butler and Co. However, it was not The Joker?s historic performance that surprised the NBA World. It was his nonchalant attitude after winning his first Championship that grabbed every fan?s attention. While his teammates were looking forward to the Championship parade in Denver, Jokic just wanted to go back home to Serbia.

So, it came as no surprise when The Joker revealed that he hardly touched a basketball during his relatively short off-season. Despite not playing basketball for the past 4 months, Jokic picked up right where he left off. His stunning form following a leisurely summer left the fans awestruck.

The Denver Nuggets played the Chicago Bulls in their second NBA preseason game. The Joker stepped on the court alongside his co-star Jamal Murray and seemed unbothered by the fact that he had not played basketball in 4 months. Jokic scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in 18 minutes, continuing his tremendous form from last season. Jokic’s performance surprised the NBA fans as he revealed just a few days ago that he touched a basketball only a couple of times this summer. The Serbian enjoyed his offseason racing horses and partying in his home country, with basketball far from his mind. Fans were quick to show their appreciation for the Joker.

Fans wondered how the Nuggets Center continues to be the best player in the world despite not working on his game all summer, ?Jokic don’t work on his game but still the best?.
