Nikola Jokic will make the All-Star Game

It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the NBA will recognize Nikola Jokic as a clear cut All-Star talent. Nuggets fans know that Jokic deserves an All-Star bid, but the rest of the NBA world has been quick to dismiss Jokic despite his excellent play.

Jokic is considered one of the best passing big men in the NBA, and is an overall excellent player. He averaged 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and  6.1 assists per game, which ranked 6th, 9th, and 2nd among qualified Centers in the whole league.

He constantly provided a boost to the Nuggets, and has the ability to take over any game. He also provides highlight plays on a pretty consistent basis. You can watch all of Jokic’s amazing passes here. I highly recommended it.

A player like Jokic in the All Star game is good for Jokic, the Nuggets, and the rest of the NBA. It will finally get Jokic’s name on the map, which is good for both Jokic and the Nuggets, giving them the recognition that they deserve.

It’s also good for the NBA as a whole because putting Jokic on the All-Star stage where he can showcase his talents and wow fans would be a great plus for the league.

Jokic deserves to get into the All-Star game based off of his talent. He isn’t one of the more known players in the NBA, but that needs to change.

Getting Jokic in the All-Star game is a must, and I believe that this year is his year.
