Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless shared an opinion that not many NBA fans seemed to agree with Sunday night, ripping Nuggets center Nikola Jokić after he scored a game-high 41 points in Denver’s 111–108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

The two-time NBA MVP has dominated on the court this postseason. He currently leads the Nuggets with averages of 30.4 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game during the 2023 playoffs.

Although Jokić shot 16-for-28 from the field on Sunday, Bayless wrote that the Denver star was lucky.

“I have never ever seen a man luck in as many shots as Joker did tonight,” Bayless tweeted. “We used to call them ‘greasing’ in shots. Tonight Joker was one big tub of Crisco.”

The NBA world wasn’t too happy with the controversial host’s take.
