Today is a special day for Denver Nuggets fans.
Five years ago on December 15th, 2016, Nikola Jokiu0107 became the permanent starting center for the Denver Nuggets. Though it took Michael Malone and the team awhile to fully commit to such a unique player with drastic strengths and weaknesses, the decision ultimately bore fruit. Jokiu0107 has since gone on a five year run unlike any other player in NBA history. From second round pick to injury replacement to starter to All-Star to First-Team All-NBA to MVP to...hell I don’t know what’s next for him. Best player in the league?
