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