6'11" Nikola Jokic dazzles with an accidental highlight reel defensive play in Eurobasket

Nicholas Jokic He is not known as the most blocked defender in the league, but during the Eurobasket he showed some impressive hands.

The consecutive MVP winner is one of the most versatile players in the league. He is a 6’11” center, but he plays as a guard, forward and center all in one.

He has the passing skills of a shooting guard, and he has a jump shot that some forwards can’t match. Jokic is a player who can score from all areas of the pitch.

He’s a triple double threat on any given night, and he plays decent defense too. All in all, there’s a reason why the Joker won the league’s MVP in back-to-back years.
