Michael Porter Jr. and Nikola Jokic couldn’t be more different, as players or people, but last night was another example of them getting on the same page.
I can’t remember ever seeing Jokic trust Porter like he did in Chicago.

“That’s a helluva road trip.”
Behind MPJ’s season-high 31 points, and Nikola Jokic’s 14 assists, the #Nuggets throttled the Bulls on Sunday to finish 3-1 on their daunting four-game road trip. Perhaps most importantly, MPJ bounced back.

From 43-39 to 62-47 at the half. Jokic really is life. 12 assists already & very specifically finding other guys instead of taking a high-percentage shot he could obviously make. I still want him to lean into scoring a bit more, but hard to argue so far. – 9:08 PM

More on this storyline
Serge Ibaka then asked Giannis Antetokounmpo to pick his best starting fives from international players and the United States. International: Luka Doncic, Evan Fournier, Giannis, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid. USA: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo. “We beat them! Who’s gonna guard Embiid? Adebayo? Okay, that makes sense. Who’s gonna guard Jokic, and who’s gonna guard me?” Giannis talked about the outcome of the imaginary game. -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
Does Giannis feel like the face of the NBA? “No, I am one of the faces of the league. LeBron is still playing, Steph just won the championship, KD is still hooping, Embiid is killing, Jokic is back-to-back MVP, Luka magic… There are a lot of people there.” -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
Victor Wembanyama is taking every opportunity to improve. That’s what makes him confident in responding to Shaquille O’Neal. “I haven’t really seen anybody pressure him. I’ve seen a lot of offense. But when you’re playing against the 7-footer, you got to take it to him. The true test is when he gets there, and Zion is going to come at him. Embiid is going to come at him. Joker is going to come at him. So that will be a true test,” Shaq shared his views on Wembanyama’s potential in House of Bounce. “Right now, all the clips I’m seeing on him are just about him offensively. 7’3, with a great soft touch, and he plays like a guard. But it depends on him if he wants to be the best big man ever,” he concluded. -via BasketNews / November 11, 2022
