This was a huge statement coming from a Lakers legend.
Throughout the season, most people in the NBA would have unanimously voted Nikola Jokic as teh best player in the league. Now that Jokic is out of the playoffs, some people have swayed on that opinion and voted Luka as the best - not James Worthy.
"Who is the best player in the NBA right now, I would have to say Jokic," Worthy said. "The Joker from Denver. Three-time MVP, he's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, all wound in one. He can do it all. What he does most of all, besides his individual play, he makes his teammates so much with his passing ability. He puts his hands up and he moves people out of the way, and before you know it, he's in a threat area.
