Damian Lillard argued on Instagram LIVE that Nikola Jokic is probably the best player in the NBA right now, and then explained his reasoning.

Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets to the NBA Finals and was named Finals MVP. It drives people crazy. And Damian Lillard now believes that the Serb might be the best player in the NBA right now.

This was supported by an Instagram live broadcast by the Blazers’ leader, who idolized the Nuggets star, and analyzed his game.

Joker (ss Jokic) might just be the best player in the NBA. The best doesn’t always win the MVP award. I thought Embiid should win the award this year, but Jokic might be the best player in the NBA.” Lillard initially noted the addition:

He’s one of the guys who can do… triple double organic. He plays the same way every game. He can get 45 points in one game and 25 rebounds in another. Sometimes he will get 18 assists. And suddenly in one game he can have 45 points, 22 rebounds, 14 assists…and never miss a shot. Watching him play and playing against him…he never misses an opportunity.”

In conclusion, Lillard asserted:He is very smart, can shoot, pass, play as a team and has an interest in winning. He’s modest, right. I like the way he does things.”
