With how Nikola Jokic played on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, it's easy to forget that the game started with a hilarious blooper from the Denver Nuggets star.
However, we won't let this gem of a video be easily forgotten. After all, how often do you see the reigning NBA MVP twerk on the court (well, sort of)?
During tip-off of the Nuggets-Clippers game, Jokic was caught twerking — by accident! — after referee Bill Kennedy took some time throwing the ball up. In the end, the official wasn't able to hoist it up at the moment as he ended up laughing uncontrollably over the sight of The Joker:
great moment to start this game in LA: Jokic tries to time the tipoff, but Bill Kennedy doesn’t throw it in the air so he ends up just standing there and twerking.

Hey, at least the Serbian is living up to his nickname!
It was undoubtedly a hilarious moment, made even more adorable by Nikola Jokic's rather embarrassed reaction.
Fortunately for the Nuggets, it didn't stop Jokic from putting up a monster performance at Staples Center Crypto.com Arena. While the Clippers were able to erase a nine-point first-half deficit and entered the final quarter leading by four, they just had no answer against the Denver big man as he catapulted the team to the win.
Jokic finished with 28 points, 22 rebounds and eight assists in the 103-100 win, making all kinds of history in the process–including having the greatest Player Efficiency Rating of all time.
