Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets can do just about anything on the basketball court, including shooting three-pointers.
In fact, he went 3-of-4 from the three-point line during Tuesday night’s win over the Golden State Warriors.
Following the game, Jokic talked about his increased three-point percentage.
According to Adam Mares, Jokic jokingly said the cause of his improved shooting is a secret that only he and assistant coach Ogi Stojakovic know.

The numbers prove that Jokic is doing much better from downtown.
Last season, he had a three-point percentage of 35.9.
This season, he is landing 52.2 percent of his threes.
That’s a major increase and makes Jokic all the more dangerous against his opponents.
Not only do they have to be afraid of him when he’s in the paint, but they also have to watch him when he’s beyond the arc.
Shooting well from a distance makes Jokic a more well-rounded superstar, and that was on full display during Tuesday’s game.
Jokic scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists during the game and was easily the most important player for his Nuggets.
He was looking like an MVP and he has to be the favorite to win that prize right now.
Jokic is already a player unlike any other.
He has the ability to score on his own or open up opportunities for his teammates.
And now he is improving the crucial three-point shot, which makes him even more of a one-man team.
Jokic might keep the secret of why he’s shooting so well to himself, but that ultimately doesn’t matter as long as he keeps scoring.
