Nikola Jokic Managed To Become A Meme Within Minutes After The NBA Restart

With fans all over the world, and the 22 remaining NBA teams eagerly awaiting the resumption of the NBA season on July 30, in Orlando, we were able to get a glimpse of what’s to come yesterday, when the first scrimmages were being played.

One of these ‘practice games’ between the Denver Nuggets and the Washington Wizards not only featured an incredible NBA debut from Bol Bol, but also produced and instant meme.

Nikola Jokic, who started at point guard in an insanely tall starting five, turned the ball over while attempting a full-court pass. The reaction to his mishap went viral.
