With three MVP awards (and counting), a ring, and a Finals MVP, Nikola Jokic is the greatest European NBA player of all time. In addition to the insane shooting numbers, elite rbeounding, and eye-popping passes, he stands out for bringing out the best in his teammates, and can be credited with creating and extending NBA careers.

The Denver Nuggets’ second-half lead was way too big for them to fritter away. Denver walloped the Los Angeles Clippers 120-101 in Game 7 of their playoff series Saturday night to advance to face top-seeded Oklahoma City.

Leonard led Los Angeles with 14 points at the break, while Harden struggled, going just 2-of-6 for seven points. Norman Powell chipped in four, and Ivica Zubac added eight. Braun paced the Nuggets with 11 points, while Gordon and Westbrook each scored 10, and Jokic had nine.
