“You are the first person in NBA History to have a 30-20-10 NBA Finals game. What does that mean to you?”
Nikola Jokic: “I mean to be honest, not much…I’m just glad we won the game .”

We need a game where Jimmy is clearly the best player on the court. Obviously Jokic is better but I’ve seen Jimmy outplay Bron and Giannis. We need a “Himmy” game
