One NBA Superstar Now Deemed 'Overrated' After Playoff Performance

The Denver Nuggets face a tough scenario in the second round. They're down 2-0 to a young, hungry Minnesota Timberwolves team that never takes their foot off the gas. Despite being the defending champions, the Nuggets seem lost in the playoffs.

Nikola Jokic led Denver to a first-round series victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Nuggets are absent in the second round. They were dominated by more than 20 points at home in Game 2 and fans have been quick to point the blame to Jokic.

He finished the game with 16 points and 16 rebounds. That's a phenomenal stat line, it just wasn't even close to being enough.

Jokic is in that category where immense pressure lies on his every move on the basketball court. If they win, he gets the praise, if they lose, he gets the blame.

Many fans on social media are calling him overrated. They believe he hasn't been able to produce the necessary performances to help Denver advance.
