Nikola Jokic has legendary quote about posting up LeBron James
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic fears no man and no king.
In the Nuggets’ 126-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, Jokic got LeBron James in the post on a switch in the third quarter and proceeded to score on the four-time MVP somewhat easily.
After the game, Jokic was asked about the sequence and dropped this legendary quote, per Harrison Wind of BSN Denver.
Jokic on his post-up vs LeBron:
Q: You're gonna think about that one for a while right?

On the one hand, Jokic could be simply pointing to the fact that he enjoys a two-to-three-inch height advantage over James. But on the other hand, The Joker’s comments are consistent with the strut he’s had in his step lately, leading Denver to a chokehold on the eighth seed in the West with averages of 16.1 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game post-All-Star break.
There’s no swagger quite like Serbian swagger.
