#Pelicans first-round pick and center Yves Missi on which bigs he’s watched and tries to emulate on the court: “Joel Embiid, Dereck Lively, Jokic, everyone. Passing from Jokic; Embiid post-ups.” Missi only started playing basketball in 2020 at age 16 – 9:07 PM

Wemby flopping in the 4th quarter to draw an offensive foul on Jokic to foul him out of the game feels like a nice preview of the next 7 years. – 4:56 PM

Definitely cathartic watching Nikola Jokic play basketball like this. A palette cleanser. – 4:29 PM

When Nikola Jokic is playing at this level right here, nothing else matters.
Putting on a masterclass in this one against two of the best defenders in the entire world.
He just looks different in a game “that doesn’t matter” – 4:24 PM

So Jokic is still the best in the world, huh? Who could have predicted. – 4:06 PM
