Garnett’s single-word reaction of “Yoooooooooo” along with multiple emojis in his Instagram story highlighting Jokic’s dominant stat line of 21 points, 19 rebounds, and 15 assists speaks volumes about how impressed he was with the Serbian international.

It was a performance that transcended individual brilliance and lifted the Denver Nuggets to a resounding 130-110 victory.
This performance by Jokic is not once in a blue moon incident but a part of the legacy that he is creating for himself. Apart from the recent ’21-19-15′ stat line, Jokic also inked his name in the NBA history books with his performance against the Wizards.
