Boston Celtics Star Makes Bold Nikola Jokic Statement

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown had this to say about Nikola Jokic

During his All-Star media session, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was asked who the best player in the NBA is outside of his team, and said Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.

There are a lot of really great players in the NBA right now, but Jokic seems to be the consensus best in the world after his Finals MVP run. Becoming the first player in NBA history to lead an entire playoff run in total points, rebounds, and assists, Jokic was truly historic last postseason, and is rightfully considered the best player in the world by most.

The Celtics have been the best team in basketball, and could very well see Jokic and the Nuggets in the NBA Finals. Boston was one win away from seeing Denver in the Finals last season, but was unable to complete their 3-0 comeback against the Miami Heat, who would go on to lose against Denver in the Finals.

Looking like an improved version of last year's already very solid team, the Celtics are the favorites most places to come out of the Eastern Conference. While there is a lot of talent in the Western Conference, many believe Denver still has the edge over some of the teams trying to take their place.

A Celtics vs. Nuggets NBA Finals would certainly be a good one for the league.
