Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke toasted the impact of Nikola Jokic after the Denver Nuggets beat the Miami Heat on Saturday.
Jokic scored 23 points en route to a 108-95 win in South Florida that puts the Nuggets en course to win their first NBA championship. The Nuggets are now leading the best-of-seven series 3-1 ahead of Tuesday's return to the Kaseya Center.
Jokic is proving to be worth every cent of the blockbuster $264 million contract he signed with the Nuggets last year, the largest in history at the time it was finalised in July. He is tied to the Nuggets for another five years and Kroenke, who owns the team along with the Gunners through his Kroenke Sports & Entertainment company, spoke in glowing terms about the 28 year-old center.
