Nikola Jokic has sent a warning to his team by reminding them that you can never write off LeBron James.
The Denver Nuggets have opened up a commanding 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Western Conference Finals. The Serbian has been instrumental in his team’s performances and on what could be described as an off night, he still recorded 24 points, eight assists and six rebounds in game three last Friday.
After recording his fourth rebound in the 119-108 win, the 28-year-old became just the 2nd player in NBA history with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 800 assists in a single season. Led by an explosive 37-point game from Jamal Murray, the Nuggets are just one game away from booking a place in the NBA Finals. In the history of the postseason, no side has recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win a series in 149 previous attempts.
