Nikola Jokic is so many things to the Denver Nuggets: MVP, leader, center of the universe on the court.

But could he also be their new head coach after Michael Malone was fired? You think I’m kidding, don’t you? I’m not!

We would LOVE to see him pull a Bill Russell and become a player-coach, the first in the NBA in decades. Obviously, that’s not happening in 2025, but it’d be cool.

We bring this up because cameras caught him drawing up a play to the Nuggets during their game against the Sacramento Kings. This is awesome and we need Coach Joker in our lives:
