Nikola Jokic: “It Would Be Stupid if Basketball Weren’t Better Now Than 30 Years Ago”

Jokic defended past greats while arguing basketball should evolve. “Larry Bird could play in Sombor, in China... On Jupiter,” he said, calling legends “extraordinary players” remembered forever. But he added it “would be stupid if basketball weren’t better now than 30 years ago,” comparing the sport’s growth to phones, technology, modernization, and predicting another leap in 20 years.
