We often find debates when we talk about the best player in the current NBA. Some say it is Joel Embiid from the 76ers, some Luka Doncic from the Mavericks, some Nikola Jokic from the Nuggets, and various other players.
If we look at Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, he has ruled the league for the past couple of years. He also helped the Nuggets win their first NBA championship since its establishment. Undoubtedly, he stands as one of the best players in the league.
Well, it is not us who believe he is the best player in the league. The Philadelphia 76ers center, Joel Embiid, believes that he is the best.
During the 76ers vs. Nuggets game, Joel Embiid said to Jokic
“Nikola Jokic is the best player in the league!”
In case you missed: “Shai Gilgeous Alexander is the best guard in the world!” says ESPN sportswriter
Is Jokic the best player in the league?
The current NBA season is evolving game by game. Teams like the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Detroit Pistons, who often used to stand at the top, are struggling to win games. On the other hand, teams like those who were often seen at the bottom are ruling their conferences.
Likewise, the Denver Nuggets have risen from the bottom to the top, and one of the reasons is their center Nikola Jokic. The Serbian basketballer is often considered one of the best centers in the league and proves it season by season.
In 2020, he averaged 26.4 points and 8.3 assists per game. In 2021, he averaged 27.1 points and 7.9 assists per game. Moreover, he won the NBA MVP award two consecutive times in 2020 and 2021. Last season, he averaged 24.5 points and 9.8 assists per game. But that time he didn’t win the NBA MVP award. He won the NBA Finals MVP and the NBA Championship.
You can deny that he is the best player in the league. But you have to accept him as one of the best players in the league.
