As far as passers go, Nikola Jokic arguably is among the greatest in the modern NBA. The Denver Nuggets center seems to have a wider vision than anyone else. Fans have become used to watching the two-time MVP make surreal passes across the court. However, it seems his sight isn’t limited to just the basketball court. After another triple-double showcase against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Joker got a little distracted during his post-game interview.
Jokic has once again solidified himself as an MVP candidate. The five-time All-Star began 2023 slow but has only picked things up since. Averaging 25.1 points, 11 rebounds, and 9.9 assists, he has already compiled 23 triple-doubles just this season. The 27-year-old is able to dominate the big in the post against nearly any center. In addition, his elite passing skills make double teams ineffective.
With his vision, the entire court becomes his domain. However, his recent interview proved it isn’t just the court that he can see. After another impressive night, he spotted a couple in the stands having a good time.
