NBA Legend Makes Incredible Nikola Jokic Observation

NBA legend Kevin Garnett loves Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is undeniably special on the court, but he is equally special off the court as well. Not interested in individual recognition, even after one of the greatest individual playoff runs in NBA history, Jokic is only worried about his team's success.

NBA legend Kevin Garnett made an incredible observation when speaking about how humble Jokic is, pointing out that he wasn't even in the front row of his team's championship picture. Standing in the back left corner of the Nuggets' championship picture, Jokic wasn't worried about being front and center, which is something Garnett said he has never seen.

"Joker looks like the most humblest motherf--ker I've ever seen," Garnett said on SHOWTIME Basketball's Ticket and The Truth. "He's a one of one. I've never seen the championship picture being taken with your best player in the third row of the picture."

For reference, here is the picture Garnett is speaking about:

Jokic is truly special in this way, because he would have every right to make this playoff run about himself, especially because of the criticism he has endured over the last several years. Winning consecutive league MVP awards, Jokic had to hear about his lack of playoff success, and how his game does not translate to a playoff setting. 

Silencing all of that noise, Jokic has remained humble.
