Nikola Jokic is playing the best basketball of his career, and his numbers are among the best in the NBA. However, his team doesn't look like the dominant outfit it was two years ago when it won the championship. The Denver Nuggets (12-10) are sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference.
Moreover, anyone not named Jokic has been either hurt or hasn't played up to his usual standards. That's why, as much as Jokic's numbers have been remarkable, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is less than impressed with them. In fact, he believes they're empty numbers.
"Everyone on a bad team can put up real good numbers," Arenas said on his podcast, adding, "We see every year there's always some player that is on a bad team that's putting up, what do you call them? Empty stats. They don't want to call these empty stats when they're losing. It just makes no sense. You guys won a championship. You're supposed to come back and dominate."
