The three-time league MVP is one of the league's brightest lights. But how would he fare in a prior generation?
Reigning MVP Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has emerged as one of the best players in the modern NBA. The 6-foot-11 superstar, 29, has ascended from being a flier No. 41 pick in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft into the best player on a perennial championship contender.Last season, he claimed MVP honors while posting averages of 26.4 points on .583/.359/.817 shooting splits, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists across 79 regular season games for the 57-25 Nuggets.
'He's in the top 10 in every NBA category—steals, rebounds, points. I think Jokic would score more points, but Hakeem would win because he would constantly pressure him. Jokic wouldn't be able to do damage in the post; it simply wouldn't happen.'Olajuwon, who played from 1984-2002 with the Rockets and Toronto Raptors, guided the Rockets — which included Cassell, then a point guard — to a pair of consecutive championships in 1994 and 1995, earning Finals MVP honors both times.
