Despite having the best record in the NBA, the Boston Celtics were unable to contain Nikola Jokic. They were forced to bow before the current MVP of the NBA Finals as a result.
Jayson Tatum was questioned about his experience defending the two-time NBA MVP after the Nuggets’ victory against the Celtics on Friday.
“He has great touch, great feel for the game,” Tatum said. “Obviously, capable of passing and scoring with the best of them. just poses a great deal of difficulties.”
Kristaps Porzingis was one Celtics player who couldn’t stop talking about Jokic; he even referred to Jokic as the greatest player in the world.
Porzingis said, “He’s the best player in the world, as I’ve said before.” “He’s simply so cunning that, even if it seems like he’s not doing anything, he practically puts you to sleep before slipping by you. He is very skilled and multifaceted. can make a great deal of difficult shots that are really not that difficult for him since he has a lot of experience making them. They must coexist with you. He jumps off the right foot like this. He is who he is because of this.”
If Friday’s exhibition revealed anything about the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets’ possible finals series, it would be that it would be a very entertaining one. In the NBA Finals, Nikola Jokic will be very tough to stop for the Celtics.
