'He's One Of The Greatest To Play The Game'; LeBron James With The Ultimate Praise For Nikola Jokic

Over the past six years, we've seen arguably one of the greatest peaks in NBA history in the form of the three-time MVP for the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokić. Over the past two years, Jokić has averaged 30 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game, and while he's won just the one NBA Championship, it's hard to deny just how incredible he's been.

While some don't have him in all-time conversations yet, his peers certainly do, as many believe he could end up as one of the greatest players the game has ever seen. That list of players includes LeBron James, who recently had some immense praise for Jokić and the level he's been playing at throughout his NBA career.

"Jokić is one of the greatest players to play this game."

Coming from James, who is arguably the best or the second-best player to ever step foot on an NBA court, this is immense praise, but with Jokić's level of play, he isn't the only one to think this. While the Joker's career started somewhat slowly, he is averaging 22, 11, and 7, and with three MVPs (arguably should have at least one more), he's established himself as an all-time great.

Ultimately, Jokić may end up ranked in the top five all-time when it's all said and done, especially if he can pick up another championship or two, but for now, people are clearly starting to respect just how good he is and how good he has been.
