On the most recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcasts, Bill and his guest, Tim Legler, raved about Nikola Jokic’s recent run, as many in NBA media have been doing. But Simmons and Legs focused on an underappreciated and often overlooked aspect of his game: his incredible hands.
The podcaster and analyst discussed how his hands and touch may actually be his greatest trait, and how Jokic has some of the best hands of anyone to ever play the game. It’s evidenced by his soft touch around the rim and in the midrange, by his beautiful passes, often flicked with one hand in the blink of an eye.
