Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon talks about his frontcourt teammate Nikola Jokic.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s a basketball genius. That\u2019s really what it comes down to. He\u2019s playing it like it\u2019s chess, seeing it three steps ahead.”<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m starting to learn that you\u2019ve always got to keep your eye on him when he has the ball because he\u2019ll find you. He\u2019ll find you. Even if you don\u2019t think you\u2019re open, you\u2019re open. He\u2019ll pass you open, which is dope. It\u2019s just amazing to play with somebody like that who can actually pass you open and sees the game (like that), and who likes to pass and enjoys passing”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The serbian big man this year is averaging 26.1 points, 11 rebounds and 8.8 assist, shooting 56% from the field, 42% from long range and 85% from the foul line.<\/p>\n
