The Miami Heat know they'll have a rough time on their hands when it comes to guarding Nikola Jokic in the NBA Finals.

Denver's MVP candidate has been phenomenal in the playoffs - averaging a triple-double of 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 10.3 assists.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra knows that his squad is in for a tough series if they can't contain the big man from Serbia.

'He's very unique,' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Wednesday. 'He doesn't really have any noticeable weaknesses in terms of his size, his skill set. 

'He's one of one in the myriad of ways that he can impact the game and impact winning.'
