NBA unicorn Nikola Jokic pads his MVP resumé, not his stats

“It’s tough with those guys. You’re really not able to speed them up very much. He doesn’t have to go fast, but he still gets to his spots. And it doesn’t really matter how fast he is or how high he can jump. He’s got a high release, so he gets his shot off.”

He was also posting a league-best 70.3 true shooting percentage, which takes in the value of all field goals, and shoots 63 per cent from inside the arc. Those are otherworldly numbers for any player; they are even more jarring when you look at Jokic’s size and foot speed.
