His Nuggets rolled to the 136-120 romp inside the United Center on Saturday — improving their record to 34-19 overall.

Yet a former teammate of his made a stunning Jokic admission.
Michael Porter Jr. won the Larry O'Brien Trophy with Jokic. However "MPJ" made this stunning admission while appearing on The Old Man and The Three Podcast.
"I didn't think he was that good at first, I thought Mason Plumlee was better than Joker at first," Porter said in stunning fashion.
Although Porter later heard how stout Jokic really was from another member of the Nuggets.
"But I kept hearing, like Monte Morris told me, he was like, 'Man you don't understand, Joker could score 50 every single night if he wanted to.' And so I didn't see it at first in training, I think he was just, you know Joker he can just pass and he doesn't have to try to dominate all the time," Porter added.
