Longtime NBA journalist and current FS1 personality Chris Broussard caught major flack from basketball fans on Friday after sharing an aggressive take regarding Nikola Jokić’s place among the best players of all time.
Jokić’s star has reached dizzying heights this season, with the two-time MVP averaging a playoff triple-double as the leader of a Nuggets team now within three wins of its first NBA championship after beating the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA finals on Thursday.
During Friday’s First Things First, Broussard stunned co-hosts Nick Wright and Kevin Wildes after saying he believes winning a ring would elevate the Nuggets center over several Hall of Famers, one of whom didn’t win a title, in the pantheon of NBA greats.
