Nikola Jokic and LeBron James couldn’t more different as basketball players. But their secret sauce is the same
Mark Kiszla, Denver Post
James and Jokic are sorcerers who seem to have nothing in common except a brain capable of calculating in real time the angles and trajectories of sport that often seems to move at supersonic speed and defy gravity.
Maybe pro basketball isn’t rocket science. But Joker and James are masters of its universe. They pull strings nobody can see until the ball is already in the hoop and the crowd is on its feet, celebrating the magic.
