Nikola Jokic posted just the third 60-point triple-double in the history of the NBA on Tuesday night. Somehow the performance was not enough to lift his Denver Nuggets to victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves but it was still the thing that every fan of the Association will want to discuss. Inside the NBA was all over it, with Adam Lefkoe teeing up Shaquille O'Neal to talk about what would happen if someone made an operational time machine and set up a matchup between Jokic and prime Shaq.
"Slovien chicken," O'Neal said, probably thinking of Slovenia, where the Serbian Jokic very much does not hail from. "Or wherever he's from."
