The famed television personality, according to Lakers Daily, shared, "The best offensive players ever — this is not in order, but this is the list: Wilt [Chamberlain], Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar], Michael [Jordan], Magic [Johnson], [Larry] Bird, Shaq (Shaquille O’Neal), Steph (Stephen Curry), LeBron [James] and this guy (Jokic)."
"That has him ahead of Kobe. That has him ahead of [Kevin] Durant. That has him ahead of [Tim] Duncan and Dream (Hakeem Olajuwon), which I think most would agree with, ’cause so much of their value was being the best defensive player in the league for a year. But I think he is a more deadly offensive player than Kobe or Durant were."
The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player against the Celtics scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. Jokic is averaging 30.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game. His shooting percentage from the field is 56.5 and from the three-point range is 41.7 percent.

The fifteen-time NBA All-Star and NBA champion, Hall of Famer, Kevin Garnett, has also supported Jokic in what he is accomplishing in the league and he further shared that he is shattering records as well.
As per the Basketball Network, Garnett shared, "What he’s doin’ in our league…he’s ripping the records apart. They showed a stat where he’s had a triple-double on every team in the league. Right now, Joker is more dominant than Wilt Chamberlain. They got some ni**** takin’ him over Shaq. They got motherf**** takin’ Joker over Wilt or Shaq."
The Denver Nuggets will next face the Toronto Raptors, who are twelfth in the Eastern Conference and for the season, are standing at 23-41.
