There’s been no shortage of talk about Nikola Jokic’s legacy and place in history, but the conversation is becoming more and more mainstream. Recently, on his Over/Unders podcast with Zach Lowe and Joe House, Bill Simmons was discussing how another Jokic MVP and title would vault him into the GOAT debate, squarely in the top 10 of all time, and right there with players like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
This isn’t a crazy take, or anything revolutionary, but it’s wild to hear an old-head like Simmons talking like this, a man famous for obsessing over the '80s Celtics and Bird.
