Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic is one of the best young passing centers in the NBA. The 21-year-old Serbian has been the star of several Top 10 countdowns and YouTube highlight mixes alike thanks to his fancy passing.
So how does Jokic, currently averaging 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per-game feel about scoring vs. passing?
To answer reporters on Tuesday, Jokic dug up an old Magic Johnson quote:
Jokic on if he likes to score or pass: "Passing makes two people happy. Scoring only makes one person happy."
