Nikola Jokic vs Victor Wembanyama matchup brings playoffs Game 7 energy… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Jokic stats vs Wemby: 🔹 37.3 PPG on 55% FG 🔹 10.9 RPG 🔹 9.1 APG 🔹 1.4 BPG | 1.1 SPG 🔹 5-2 record That’s basically a 40-point triple-double average! To be fair, Wemby’s numbers aren’t normal either: 🔸 26.4 PPG 🔸 15.1 RPG 🔸 4.4 APG 🔸 4.1 BPG | 1.9 SPG This isn’t just one-sided domination…this is greatness vs greatness. Wemby is already one of the greatest defenders ever, a literal mismatch for everyone…but Jokic still slows it down, picks him apart, and controls everything! Some players rise to the moment…Jokic turns it into his moment. Even against the future of the league! The Joker is still the final boss. However, lets not forget….this is not Wemby in prime. He is still young and improving. As time goes by….We will see many such battles between the Joker & Alien!

What do you think the odds are that Jokic adds a second title to his resume this year? clutchpoints.com/nba/denver-nug…

Aaron Gordon is the ultimate competitor and fans know it. clutchpoints.com/nba/denver-nug…

Jamal Murray deserves some respect. He's having arguably the best year of his career, and is putting up career-highs across the board: 🔥 25.6 PPG 🔥 7.1 APG 🔥 4.4 RPG 🔥 3.3 3PM 🔥 48.4% FG 🔥 43.4% 3PT He recently dropped 10 triples in a win against the Jazz - and it's his 2nd time drilling 10 threes in a game this season. This year, Murray was an All-Star for the first time in his career, and could be named to an All-NBA team at the end of the season. Jokic has missed some time, and Murray still has the Nuggets battling for a prime seed in the playoffs. Jamal Murray has been balling out all year. It's time to give him his flowers 💐

Two unicorns going at it will always be a sight to see. Nikola Jokic and Wemby saved the NBA today 🔗⬇️ clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…
