Stiffs roundtable: first impressions of the joker

When the Denver Nuggets selected Nikola Jokic 41st overall in the 2014 NBA draft, they didn’t suspect they had drafted the next face of the organization. His rise from relative obscurity to bonafide stardom has caught just about everyone by surprise, including him, so we’re dedicating this week to a celebration of that unlikely evolution here at Denver Stiffs.

In this Jokic-themed edition of the roundtable, the staff recalls their first memories and impressions of Big Honey.

Jokic is unlike most other basketball players, both in his style of play and the way he looks next to some of the world’s best athletes.
