USA TODAY Sports

On Thursday evening, the Denver Nuggets  are hosting the Boston Celtics in Colorado.   

During the first half, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic had a big  highlight that got a lot of views on social media. 

Jokic backed down Kristaps Porzingis (who fell to the ground), pulled off a spin move and finished off the play with a dunk.

Jokic is one of the most exciting players in the league. 

He entered the evening with averages of 25.9 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 57.9% from the field and 35.0% from the three-point range in 60 games.
