It goes without saying that Nikola Jokic is asked to do a lot. Arguably more than any other player in the NBA. On any given night he’s required to be Denver’s top scorer, rebounder, even facilitator with his passing game — but asking him to coach might be beyond the pale.

Cameras caught Jokic drawing up a play on the sidelines two days after Malone's exit, and then, on Monday, captured a very fired-up Joker getting his team going during Game 1 of the playoff series vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder.

NBA fans didn't appreciate Lou Williams' comments about Nikola Jokic's career. On Tuesday, the former Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers guard reacted to the Denver Nuggets center's heroics against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
