Chicago Bulls Star Makes Strong Statement on Nikola Jokic

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has already established himself as one of the greatest of all time. After winning three of the last four MVP awards, Jokic added a Finals MVP award in 2023 when he led Denver to its first championship title in franchise history.

Selected in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft, Jokic has accumulated an incredible list of accolades:

At just 29 years old, Jokic plans to continue adding to his all-time resume, which could put him in an even more exclusive tier of NBA players.

In a recent interview with EurohoopsChicago Bulls star Nikola Vucevic made a strong statement about Jokic, saying he could become the greatest center in NBA history.

“From what he’s shown so far, he’s definitely one of the best players in basketball history,” Vucevic said. “Three MVPs, a championship, stats, All-Star appearances… His resume is already great, and he’s got a lot more to do before he’s done. There’s no doubt that when he’s done, he’s going to be one of the best players in basketball history, maybe even the best center of all time.”

That’s an incredible compliment from Vucevic, especially considering how many legendary centers have played in the NBA. That said, there are already several statistical lists that only include Jokic and Wilt Chamberlain.

“It’s just a matter of how long he wants to continue to play at this level,” Vucevic added. “The longer he does it, the more he’s going to leave a mark so deep that it’s going to be hard for anyone to surpass him. He’s already the best player in the world right now, and when he’s done, he’s going to be among the greatest of all time.”
