I like your spirit. There were only 2 full NBA seasons. (1 1/2 with Lockout) where Tim Duncan was in the league and not already an NBA champion.
It would just sound ridiculous if you said that aloud until Jokic joins that class.
Coach Malone did not compare Nikola’s skills/game to Tim.
All coach was alluding to was how they both conduct themselves, despite being superstars in their own right.
@O’Marion Brown No worries.
Your opinion does hold true, though. Nikola is an average and sometimes above average defender, but not as elite as Tim Duncan was. That said, I do believe Nikola can and will continue to get better in that regard
I been saying Nikola is the Serbian Tim Duncan🔥
I was born in ‘96 into spurs fandom so I watched PLENTY of Timmy and Nikola is a good comparison….
Yea yea nobody asked I know that😭
It’s always interesting to hear comparisons of today’s NBA stars to legendary players of the past! As we appreciate Mike Malone’s comments on Nikola Jokić, let’s also remember the importance of protecting your teeth while playing on the court. ClearClub’s custom-fit mouthguards provide unbeatable protection and superior comfort, ensuring you can play your best game while avoiding dental injuries. Invest in ClearClub and play like a true superstar just like Nikola Jokić and the biggest legends of the NBA! 🏀🔥 #ClearClub #CustomMouthguards
This is why teams shouldn’t fire their coaches after 1 bad playoff performance. Michael Malone has been in Denver for 8 years and from watching clips of him speaking about his players it appears he has a special bond with every single one of them.
Timmy won his first ring his second season 1999, don’t get this stuff started again, it’s like all the people calling LeRoid the GOAT, fanboys make the game horrible
Hes like lebron with tim duncans playstyle. Idk if that makes sense but the way he gets his whole team involved like bron and timmy just hes not as athletic as bron
Jokic, other European players, Tim Duncan, Ginobili, etc. Their self-esteem and security about their selves are so high….they don’t need to hear every second, every minute, every hour, every day ….how great they are.

That’s the problem with comparisons…….Tim Duncan is a top 10 all time player…..Nicola has to prove is he actually is…..
