Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic looks like a pretty laidback dude. When he’s not on the court, one of his favorite pastimes is tending to horses in a stable. He doesn’t seem like someone who concerns himself too much with useless information such as which teams are in the Nuggets’ division. As it turns out, he actually doesn’t know.

For Nikola Jokic’s information, the other four teams included in the Northwest Division, along with Denver, are the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Utah Jazz.

Considering how hyped up the Thunder and the Timberwolves were at the start of the season following their big summer moves, it is as impressive to see the Nuggets leading them all with an 8-5 record.

Jokic, of course, has been a big reason for the Nuggets’ success. The Serbian star is averaging 17.2 points, 12 rebounds, and 4.8 assists thus far this season, and is just a couple of games removed from scoring a career-high 41 points against the Brooklyn Nets.

As Paul Millsap continues to learn the offense and Jamal Murray develops more consistency, the Nuggets figure to have a strong chance of staying on top of their division rivals, even though Jokic doesn’t bother to know who they are.
