The Tweet of the Week this time comes from Will Barton, who shared a new nickname for Nikola Jokic after his career game against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night.

The Nuggets‘ win agains the Raptors was one of their biggest of the season. Barton is absolutely right when stating that it was a team effort, as Danilo Gallinari, Randy Foye, and Barton himself all had good games. However, it’s no question that Jokic stole the show starting from tip-off. He scored the first 11 points for the Nuggets and helped his team to a 112-93 win over the second best team in the Eastern Conference, finishing with 27 points and 14 rebounds.
As some Stiffs may or may not remember, this isn’t the first Tweet of the Week Barton has earned for coming up with a new nickname for one of his teammates. He also coined the nickname “Punisher” for Jusuf Nurkic earlier in the season. Hopefully both “Big Honey” and the “Punisher” will live up to their nicknames in the games to come, helping the Nuggets to more victories in the process.
