Nikola Jokic is one of the best Centers in NBA history and he still has much more to offer, it is likely that he will set records that will be impossible to break.

His career began in 2012 playing for a Serbian based team called Mega Basket and he came to the NBA in 2015 to play his first season with the Denver Nuggets which has been his only team in the league.

The first time Jokic played in the postseason was in 2019 where he averaged 25.1 points per game and 39.8 minutes played per game (highest so far).
