Dear Denver Nuggets,

Please advise Jusuf Nurkic to never guard a point guard with a handle during an NBA game. (See: Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, John Wall) If Nurkic cannot keep his ankles intact after one between-the-legs dribble by 34-year-old Joe Johnson, what will become of his limbs if he's forced to guard any of the aforementioned players? We're only looking out for the well-being of your young center.

Sincerely,
Concerned NBA fan

Sidebar: It was a pretty great night for Joe, who beat the Nuggets with a game-winning three.
