Nikola Jokic continues to show off the diverse, guard-like skill set packed in his 6-foot-10, 250-pound frame. In the third quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, the Denver Nuggets center collected a defensive rebound, and, in the style of Warriors forward Draymond Green, immediately turned and pushed the ball up the floor.
Green, who's as good an open-floor orchestrator as any big man in the game, saw what was happening and tried to blindside Jokic with a swiping steal attempt from behind.
Jokic wasn't thrown. He shook Green with a nasty behind-the-back dribble, and continued the remaining length of the floor unabated on his way to an exhausted-looking dunk.
