Nikola Jokic Numbers ahead of rivals at on going…

Nikola Jokic is without a doubt one of the NBA’s most gifted players at the moment. However, in the eyes of NBA Sixth Man legend Lou Williams, the best centres the game has ever seen are Shaquille O’Neal and the big man for the Denver Nuggets.

Jokic’s assertion that he is the best big man in the NBA right now was amply demonstrated by Denver’s recent 101-99 victory over LeBron James and the LA Lakers. The two-time MVP recorded an incredible triple-double of 27 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists in that exciting Game 2. In addition, he made all seven of his free throw attempts, 50% of his three-pointers, and 56% of his field goals.

However, Anthony Davis also had a fantastic day for the Lakers. In over 40 minutes on the court, the former All-Star for the New Orleans Pelicans finished with 32 points and 11 rebounds. James finished with 12 assists in addition to 26 points. D’Angelo Russell, meanwhile, bounced back after a lacklustre performance in Game 1 with 23 points and six assists.

Denver now leads LA in the series as it returns to their home court thanks to the victory. Jokic’s skill set is likely to be the main reason for the Nuggets’ victory over the Lakers, even with the home crowd advantage.

NBA legend Lou Williams asserts that Denver Nuggets star Shaquille O’Neal is a superior centre. Jokic, Nikola

Even though Jokic is currently without a doubt the best big man in the NBA, three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner Lou Williams claimed that a different legendary centre was superior to the Nuggets star. In a video that Run It Back uploaded on X:

O’Neal averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game during his NBA career. Jokic, on the other hand, is leading the league in points, rebounds, assists, and steals per game this season with 26.4.

After his career is over, it’s unclear where Jokic will rank in the pantheon of centres. Of course, if the star player for the Nuggets can defeat the Lakers and win the title once more this season, his argument might get stronger.
