Nikola Jokic is argably the best player in the NBA.
The Denver Nuggets star is a two-time MVP who just averaged 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 9.8 assists on 63.2 percent shooting from the field.
Jokic, 28, had another triple double in Game 1 victory against Miami Heat in NBA Finals.
Not many people expected Jokic, a 2014 second-round pick, to become what he is today.
While appearing on Showtime podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, his agent discussed how Jokic was discovered in the first place.
“[Nikola Jokic] is the first and last player in the 27 year-old history of the agency that we sign him without anybody seeing him,” the agent said.
“Nikola Jokic’s agent discovered him in a Serbian newspaper and signed him without seeing him play.”
