Gregg Popovich Says Nikola Jokic Is 'Like A Reincarnation Of Larry Bird'
Gregg Popovich complimented Nikola Jokic following the Denver Nuggets' 132-126 win over the San Antonio Spurs, comparing the center's skillset to Larry Bird and Moses Malone.
'He's like a reincarnation of Larry Bird. He does everything. He's amazing," said Popovich.
Jokic finished the game with 25 points and 11 assists.
Popovich said his side had no defensive answer to Jokic.
"He's stepping out and making 3's. He's rebounding the ball, there should be an NBA rule, you can't tap it to yourself. He's Moses Malone. You know, he's down there and he jumps about a quarter of an inch, then he taps it two or three times and then he gets it and he lays it back in. It's not just luck. He does it all the time. He is great on the board, he's obviously maybe the best big man passer in the league."
