Mike Miller told Nikola Jokic he'd beat him if he kept fouling

Nikola Jokic has been great for the Nuggets as of late and he said that he started to not committing so many fouls because of what Mike Miller said.

Nikola Jokic has been playing very well as of late. In December, Jokic is averaging right around 17/10/5 per game for the Nuggets. He's been stellar on the court and that has truly helped the team as it can be seen by their record lately.

The Nuggets are on a three game winning streak currently and most recently beat the Dallas Mavericks last night. In that game, Jokic only had 1 foul, but in the 2 previous ones he had 5 fouls each. After the game, Jokic said that the change in the amount of fouls he was committing could be due large in part to Mike Miller.

As you can see, Jokic said that Mike Miller would've beat him if he kept committing stupid fouls. That's the kind of teammate you want.
