Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic is extremely proud of his fellow Serbian, Denver Nuggets star big man Nikola Jokic, for his dominant play thus far in the 2020 playoffs.

Djokovic, who is called the Joker as well, took to Twitter to react to Jokic's highlights.

Thus far in the 2020 playoffs against the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers, Nikola Jokic is averaging 25.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 14 games. He's also shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 44.0 percent from beyond the arc and 83.0 percent from the free-throw line.

The Nuggets have erased not one, but two 3-1 series deficits in the postseason. However, their biggest challenge awaits them in the Western Conference Finals.

The Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the West. They also have two of the top players in the league in LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who both made the All-NBA first-team.

For the Nuggets to pull off yet another upset, Jokic is going to have to out-play Davis in the post. Let's see if he can do it.
