“Nikola Jokic is on some all-time great stuff” – Draymond Green outlines key factor for Nuggets to clinch NBA Finals
Nikola Jokic has done an exceptional job to lead the Denver Nuggets all the way to their first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history. Due to his excellence on the court, Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green believes that Denver is ready to win a championship.
The Nuggets are on their way to battle it out against a tough Miami Heat team in the Finals after cruising in the Western Conference. Coming into the series, many have chosen Denver to beat Miami in the Finals, including Green.
According to the four-time NBA champ, Jokic and the Nuggets are ready to win the championship this year.
"I think Denver has the best player in the series. Nikola Jokic is on some all-time great type stuff right now." Green said as he praised the Serbian bigman.
"Constantly getting better. He makes everyone else better."

"One key thing that Denver has done that's made say it, but Denver's ready to win a championship in this league. They have not f**ked around in any of their series. They've had opportinuties to close, they close, they're getting it done. They're ready to win a championship. They're not messing around with these other teams. They're ready to win a championship."
If there's one player who knows a lot about winning titles, it's Draymond Green. He's won four chips with the Warriors in his career so far and is looking to add more. The Warriors were looking forward to defending their title this season but was eliminated by the LA Lakers in six games.
The Nuggets meanwhile have looked poised since the start of the postseason. They haven't given their matchups chances to make comebacks and have put the pedal to the metal. With Nikola Jokic leading the way, it'll be no surprise if Denver wins it all against Miami this year.

Even legends of the game have been left in awe watching him play.
Tracy McGrady recently shared how much he admires the two-time MVP playing the game.
"This dude is so f***ing good, man. I haven't seen anything like him. The way he passes. You got a seven-foot, seven-one center bringing up the ball, initiating offense. Everything goes through him. It is amazing, the passes that he makes from one side of the court to the other on time and on target. The bounce passes in between defenses."
