Jimmy Butler: Everybody looks at what Nikola Jokic does on offense, but he’s a hell of defender

Game 2 of the NBA Finals set for tonight in Denver

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler gives props to the talent of Nikola Jokic on both ends of the court ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets.

“Jokic and Murray are gifted players, willing passers, able to score 50 on any given night….”.

On Jokic’s defense.

“He moves his feet well. He’s constantly making guys change decisions whenever they get into the paint…And then his outlet passes from defensive rebounds are really elite. As much as everybody looks at what he does on the offensive side of the ball, he’s a hell of defensive player as well”.
