Nikola Jokić

On Christmas Day, Nikola Jokić delivered a performance for the ages that had even the most seasoned basketball fans in awe. With the game tied at 126 in the fourth quarter, the two-time MVP receives a feed from Jamal Murray and shows why he's the most skilled big man in basketball history - driving into the paint and releasing his patented floating jumper with perfect touch. After Denver blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead, Jokić took over in overtime with an otherworldly display. He knocked down a catch-and-shoot triple to keep the Nuggets alive, then put the game away moments later with a hard drive into the paint, finishing with a trademark floater through traffic. The Serbian center's historic 18-point overtime eruption - an NBA record - capped off an astonishing 56 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists as Denver stormed back with an 11-2 overtime run to complete the 142-138 victory on December 25, 2025.
