Fans of both players have great cases to make for Jokic and Harden. The criticism that is usually leveled at Harden is that his offensive performances dip when he enters the playoffs. And while that may be true to some extent, it doesn’t take away from his incredible performances in the regular season.

Jokic Could Become An All-Time Great

Nikola Jokic has made it very clear, that despite all the individual accolades, there is only one thing he wants to win; the NBA championship. Jokic has the chance to do so, as he is only three wins away from lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy, bringing a championship to Denver for the first time in franchise history.

Jokic’s offensive prowess will be key to the Nuggets’ success. Jokic recently revealed the list of players who inspired him and molded his style of play, including some of Europe’s finest along with some of the best NBA big men of all time. A championship win this year would easily cement Jokic’s place among both those lists, and make him one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA.
