DENVER, CO – NOVEMBER 8: Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets runs down court after making a three pointer against the Golden State Warriors during the second quarter at Ball Arena in Denver on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry are twin sons of an immaculate conception by basketball gods that got crazy and messed with conventional wisdom.
In an early season game that didn’t require a custom-painted court or the contrivance of a made-for-TV tournament to be special, Jokic and Curry worked their magic on Wednesday night during a game between Denver and Golden State, with the four MVP trophies won between them as proof that maybe it’s time we redefine the meaning of athletic brilliance.Curry and Jokic “have seemingly been inspired by players who came before them, but both have carved out their own unique style,” Kerr said.
What Jokic has done is give hope to teenagers that leave their shirt on at the beach. Remember the pudgy adolescent that Denver drafted with the 41st overall pick of the 2014 draft? Almost a decade ago, who would’ve dreamed Joker could grow up to be the new king of the basketball universe? “Their IQs are off the charts. And what you love about both of them is they never fight the game,” said Malone, who had the pleasure of working two seasons with a young Curry while an assistant coach for the Warriors before being blessed to have Jokic on his side in Denver.Sports Columnists |
