The difference of Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic, according to Doc Rivers

​

All-Star centers Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic have often been compared to one another. Most fans favor Jokic as he's won more MVP awards than the Cameroonian center. He's also the first among the two to win a title.

Embiid has only gotten the recognition he deserves as of late. His leadership has turned things around for the Sixers, making them a favorite to win the NBA title. His former head coach, Doc Rivers, recently talked about the difference between the two centers and what sets them apart from the other big men in the league.

​

"[Jokic] just does everything," Rivers said. "Joel is the best scorer. Joel is the only guy who can stop Joel from scoring. You can’t stop - he can do everything. But the Joker, man. He just makes everybody better. He runs their whole offense. Just throw him the ball."

​

Both centers are excellent in their own right. They've both made a name for themselves and have done a decent job in leading their respective teams.
