Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is loved by fans across the world for his gameplay and his kind and calm nature outside the court. However, when it comes to the game, the Serbian does not tolerate any disrespect and returns it back whenever challenged during a game. Recently, he made headlines around the world with his game-winning shot against the Orlando Magic. Interestingly, this wasn’t the highlight of the game for Jokic.
Former Nuggets player Bol Bol had his moment of the season so far. During the fourth quarter of the game, he crossed and dunked over Jokic brilliantly. Despite Jokic’s insane physicality, the 7-feet-2 inches tall Bol executed the dunk perfectly. Following this embarrassing play for the former MVP, he issued a warning to his former teammate.
