Via The Denver Post:
What LeBron can do, Joker can do even more insanely.
38-year-old LeBron James highlighted his 31-point first half run Monday with a Circus 3 pointer that wasn’t even a shot. It was an attempted pass towards the edge.
So how did Nikola Jokic respond? with a pair of high-bending, clumsy, yet agile, yet ugly but acrobatic three-doubles with hands in his face throughout the remainder of Game 4. That helped the Nuggets earn their first playoff series run and the franchise’s first-ever trip to the NBA Finals. .
Jokic, a two-time league MVP, was named Western Conference Finals MVP after Game 4. It was a fitting culmination after Jokic broke Wilt Chamberlain’s record with his eighth double-double this postseason: 30 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists.
