This was a very rare statement.
If anyone watches the Lakers , they know that James Worthy is one of the hardest analysts to impress. The Laker legend is often known for not mincing his words and letting fans know exactly how he feels. So, that's why when he does give a compliment, it really means something.
During the Nuggets and Lakers playoff series, Worthy spoke about Nikola Jokic on Spectrum Sportsnet and gave one of the biggest compliments he could give. "To me, he's Magic and Kareem on the floor at the same time," Worthy said."He's a guard, he makes great decisions, helluva passer. When he goes down and wants to be Kareem, he goes down and dominates. He's a special player that does a lot of things, and your antennas have to be up."Nikola Jokic has become so good at basketball that he's reached the point of voter fatigue.
For an NBA Legend like James Worthy who has played with both Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to give that level of praise to Jokic, means way more than anything lesser critics say about him.
