Part of the mystery that is Nikola Jokic has a lot to do with his physique. The Denver Nuggets franchise player is a tad pudgy and looks awkward on the court despite being utterly dominant on the box score.
But it looks like the Nuggets star is flipping the script on his fitness. Nikola Jokic looks to be in much better shape based on his latest workout clips.

Let's not forget that Nikola Jokic is the reigning league MVP. The Nuggets star was unstoppable for the Nuggets on the offensive side of the floor, with his vision and passing ability leaving defenders hesitant to overcommit when guarding him. His overall skill and innate scoring ability also allowed him to overcome his relative lack of athleticism.
But there have certainly been times when Nikola Jokic looks gassed out there, especially late in the season. Part of that was due to the injury to Nuggets co-star Jamal Murray. However, it's undeniable that the Joker wasn't in 100% game shape despite having the talent to overcome that.
If Nikola Jokic truly does enter next season in incredible shape, the sky's the limit on what the Nuggets can do. It's hard to get that much better than the MVP, after all?
