Nikola Jokic made history during Game 3, but not everybody was impressed by him.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokić played extremely well, but he has been constantly ripped for flopping during games.

Former ESPN personality and sportswriter Jemele Hill took issue with his flopping so she posted a GIF about it.

Flopping or not, Jokic was still unstoppable on this night.

With 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists in the Denver Nuggets’ 109-94 win over the Miami Heat in Game 3 on Wednesday night, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to have a 30-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist game in the Finals.

In between Games 2 and 3, much of the conversation was about the Heat’s ability to take away some of Jokic’s passing game and turn him into a scorer.

He answered the call by doing both. There will be no such conversation after Game 3, as Jokic did whatever he wanted all night long.

Miami had a chance to be the first No. 8 seed to take a lead in the NBA Finals with a win in Game 3, but they watched as Nikola and Jamal Murray took command of the series.

Murray scored a game-high 34 points on 12-of-22 shooting.

Game 4 will take place in Miami on Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
