Which player is actually ‘best’ at guarding Nikola Jokic
For whatever reason before the WCF in 2023, there was a conception that Anthony Davis does very well against Nikola Jokic however that narrative has completely flipped.
I’ve seen Nurkic, Ayton, Draymond and Gobert mentioned before but the facts (stats) seem untrue.
While there might not be a Jokic stopper, is there an actual player that defends Jokic well to the point of keeping him to or below his averages?
Yea exactly. AD’s help is so much more valuable but he can’t do both. Your team really needs to be built right to counter what Denver does. Denver plays such beautiful ball and TBH I don’t think anyone has really responded to it defensively. They’re just loaded up on O. TBH man had LAL just signed Dwight for their run it might have helped a ton. Maybe they still lose but not a sweep. You just can’t get in Joker’s head at all. He has no ego and will make the right play.
