During Friday's showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic showcased some of his post-up moves.

At the 5:25 mark of the first quarter, Jokic faked out Nerlen Noels with his astonishing footwork skills to score the basket (via ESPN).

Jokic has played phenomenal this season, averaging a career-high 20.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists in 32.5 minutes. The 25-year-old is also shooting 51 percent from the field and 31 percent from 3pt range. In addition, Jokic has worked on getting back to shape. He has admitted that he dropped 20-25 pounds this season.

Jokic has played a vital role in the Nuggets' success these past few seasons. They're currently the second seed in the Western Conference with a record of 38-17. However, the Nuggets are scheduled to have one of the hardest schedules in the league for the rest of the season, according to Tankathon.
