Former NBA star Stephon Marbury has bestowed high praise upon Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, labeling the two-time MVP as the most skilled center in the history of basketball.
In an interview with Ball Don’t Stop, Marbury emphasized Jokic’s unparalleled skill set, highlighting his versatility, shooting prowess, and exceptional court vision.
Marbury expressed admiration for Jokic’s ability to excel in any era of basketball, attributing his success to a combination of size, shooting ability, and extraordinary passing skills.
“Nikola Jokic is for sure the most skilled center in the history of basketball. He can play in any era because of his size and shooting ability, but his vision? He can see the wind when he passes,” Marbury said.
With impressive statistics this season, including averaging 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game, Jokic continues to solidify his status as one of the most dominant forces in the NBA.
As Jokic’s multifaceted game garners acclaim from peers and basketball legends alike, his impact on the sport transcends traditional notions of center play, revolutionizing the position with his unique skill set.
