Shaq Had the Perfect Response After Nikola Jokić Tried to Roast Him on TNT’s Postgame Show

Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets blew out Kevin Durant and the Suns in Tuesday night’s pivotal Game 5 and are now a win away from advancing to the conference finals.

Jokić, the two-time reigning NBA MVP, had another monster night for Denver, finishing with 29 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. His triple-double moved him ahead of Wilt Chamberlain for the most by a center in the playoffs

Ernie Johnson gave him that news during a live postgame interview with the NBA on TNT crew and Jokić took a playoff shot at Shaq about it. The NBA legend was ready for it and had a perfect response:

"Nope, because I never passed, Big Honey."

Too good. 

Game 6 of this series is Thursday night at 10 p.m. ET.
