Keeler: Nuggets star Nikola Jokic doesn’t “need” NBA title to confirm his status. Pressure? Pressure in this series is all on Kevin Durant and NBA’s favorite Suns.

If Nikola Jokic blew anymore sunshine up Kevin Durant’s backside, KD could roll into Ball Arena on a bridge of lollipops and rainbows.

“(He’s) probably the best scorer in the NBA,” the Nuggets’ NBA MVP said Friday of the Suns’ postseason ringer.

How do you cope with Phoenix’s pick-and-roll machine?

“Pray,” the Joker replied in his deadpan, Jokic way. Followed by a trademark Joker shrug.

“I don’t know,” Jokic continued. “They’re going to try everything, probably. They’re talented.”

Oh, yeah. Got ‘em right where he wants ’em.

So now the Joker needs a ring to validate his greatness?
