The Jazz have been great. But so has my man Nikola Jokic
While I would rather watch my team have great success as they have done better in the past, it is pretty remarkable watching this guy who is easily having the best season in Nugget's history. Some ranks of where the Joker is in the NBA.

Points #9 at 27.0 ppg
Mins #8 at 35.9 mpg with the injuries the Nuggets have had they have relied a lot on Jokic
FT% #22 at 87.5% Crazy high for a big man.
FG% #13 at 56.2% The only guy higher that score 20+ ppg is Zion.
Reb #12 at 10.9 rebounds per game
Assists #6 at 8.4 per game
Steals #4 at 1.7 per game
Double Doubles #1 with 27
Triple Doubles #2 with 7
PER #1
VORP #1
Win Shares #1
OWS #1
DWS #10
WS/48 mins #1
TS% #13
3 pt % #43 at 40.8%

Some comparables: Jokic averages more points per game than James Harden or Lebron James
He gets more rebounds than Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo or Jarret Allen
He gets more assists than Lebron James, Damian Lillard and De'aaron Fox
He gets more steals than Kawhi Leonard, Ben Simmons or Draymond Green
He shoots a higher FT% than Kevin Durant, James Harden and Buddy Hield
He has a higher TS% than Rudy Gobert
Has a higher 3pt shooting percentage than Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard and Damian Lillard

The guy is only 25 years old.

All the while he is the least conceded guy on the entire court and basically goes out there to have fun (not that he isn't competitive, he is but makes fun of himself all of the time...one of my favorite quotes was when they asked him the difference between him and Lebron as players and he said they were very similar, but Lebron can't jump quite as high as he can).

I think Luka and Jokic might be planning to team up one day as they are very good friends. That would be quite the dynamic duo.
