Summary

In this episode, I am joined by Ben Taylor, the author of THINKING BASKETBALL, and the creator of the Thinking Basketball YouTube page and podcast. Ben published a deep dive video on Nikola Jokic last week so the two of us discuss Ben's thoughts on the Serbian's upside, just how unique he is as a passer, and what kinds of players fit best around him. We also ask whether or not Jamal Murray has star potential and compare Jokic's game to Bill Walton, Alvan Adams, Arvydas Sabonis, and Larry Bird. Lastly, Ben talks about which players in Denver Nuggets history stand out as all-time greats. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
