NBA Fans Loved Nikola Jokic’s Attempt to Fix Uneven Rim During Game 4

The Nuggets used a strong fourth quarter to pull away from the Heat and claim a 108–95 win in Game 4 on Friday night, giving the franchise a 3–1 series lead—just one victory away from the franchise’s first-ever NBA title.

Denver’s offense clicked on all cylinders as five players finished in double-figures. Everything operated according to plan for the Western Conference champions.

However, everything did not go according to plan for one of the baskets in Miami on Friday. With 2:07 to play in the third quarter, there was a pause in the action after the rim on one of the baskets appeared uneven following a Bam Adebayo dunk attempt.

The obvious solution was to get someone to climb up and repair the rim. Nuggets star Nikola Jokić didn’t have time for that though. He decided hanging on the other side of the rim might have been enough to fix the issue.

It wasn’t.

Jokić’s attempt to hang from the rim to repair its unevenness was met with plenty of laughs around social media.

Here are the best reactions to Jokić’s attempt to quickly fix the rim.
