Nikola Jokic hasnāt stopped with his MVP-like performances. Recently he tied up a huge performance unseen since Wilt Chamberlain. With that in mind, Shaquille OāNeal took a shotandcompared him with another huge NBA legend who didnāt played as a center.
Jokic has been outstanding in their two most recent seasons with back-to-back MVP award wins, as well as being the first MVP award winner with the lowest draft pick ever. As well as the first MVP winner playing as a center since Shaq won the award in 2000.
However, as the Serbian player keeps taking another level into his performances, sooner rather than later most people in the media will run out of players to compare him to, because he will write his own story. However, there will always be a question mark if he doesnāt win an NBA Championship Ring.
