This Is Why He's the Best! Jokić Turns Heads Across the NBA With a Rare Sideline Move Most Stars Wouldn't Make /VIDEO/

Denver secured another preseason victory, powered by Nikola Jokić, who notched a triple-double in just 27 minutes on the floor.

However, as is typical in preseason matchups, the starters took a back seat down the stretch, leaving the bench unit to close out the win against the Bulls.

Denver's starting five checked out late in the third quarter, with the reserves taking over to seal the win. Along the way, they received some valuable guidance from Jokić, as captured by courtside cameras.

With 22 seconds remaining and Denver leading 130-125, the Nuggets had possession following a timeout.

Jokić was seen passionately coaching up his teammates on the sideline. Even in a game with no regular-season stakes, the superstar went above and beyond to help close out the win—a level of dedication rarely seen from marquee stars in exhibition play.

His teammates clearly took the advice to heart, executing the inbound cleanly and sealing the victory at the free-throw line.

The regular season has not even tipped off, yet Jokić is already dominating and racking up triple-doubles—needing less than 27 minutes to do so against Chicago.

Jokić finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists on 8-of-12 shooting, delivering several trademark highlight passes along the way. Aaron Gordon led the Nuggets with 25 points, Cam Johnson added 15, while Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther contributed 13 each.

For the Bulls, Leonard Miller led all scorers with 26 points, Caleb Wilson added 17, Buddy Hield scored 15, and Matas Buzelis chipped in 13.
