VIDEO: Nuggets' Jokic is no Magic Johnson

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is trying to add to his assist totals.

The key word here is "trying."

As the 6-foot-10 big man pushed the ball on a Nuggets fastbreak against the Dallas Mavericks Saturday night, he stopped at the foul line, and turned his head toward the sideline - almost as if he was looking to impress his bench-riding teammates.

The end result turned out to more embarrassing than anything, as a potential alley-oop opportunity turned into a "Shaqtin' A Fool" lowlight.

POINT JOKIC! Aaaaaaaaand... Oh.

For the record, the 20-year-old Serb is averaging 0.8 assists on the season.
