Nikola Mirotic is in his first season in the NBA after beginning his professional career in Europe. I would imagine the 23-year-old didn’t encounter too many players over there with the dribbling ability of Kemba Walker.
During the third quarter of Wednesday’s game between the Bulls and Hornets, Walker hit Mirotic with a crossover at the three-point line that left the rookie on his backside below free-throw line. And because a move like that loses some of its luster if you miss the shot, Walker calmly drained the jumper.
Welcome to the NBA, Nikola Mirotic.
