Jokic has experience playing in the playoffs but if he is injured during the postseason his team could be eliminated, the issue is the high dependence the Nuggets have on him.
During the 2023 NBA Finals, Jokic set a couple of incredible records, one good and one bad, but both records are hard to break no matter what type they are.

Kendrick Perkins referred to Nikola Jokic during the Pat McAfee Show with this phrase “We should to a better job of promoting and marketing him.” Pointing out that he needs the same attention that other top players like LeBron James, Curry receive by the media.
