Nathan MacKinnon is an athletic freak on the ice, but that doesn’t change when he takes off his skates; put the guy on the hardwood, turf, grass, whatever, and he’s going to succeed.
That’s why Colorado loves him.
So, while hanging out with the Nuggets, it should be no surprise that MacKinnon sunk a backwards half-court shot.
He's pretty good at basketball too. @Mackinnon9 @Avalanche pic.twitter.com/lf5qa9SIKP

At 6 foot, 205 pounds, he could be a solid option at point guard, if not a small one. Remember, while Jamal Murray (the man whose jersey MacKinnon is wearing) is one of the shorter guys on the team, he’s still 6-foot-4.
