NBA VELIKANI I JOKIĆ: DA LI JE 17. MESTO DOSTA?
Da li ste znali da je Nikola Jokić, srpski centar i trostruki MVP NBA lige, zauzeo visoko 17. mesto na listi 100 najboljih NBA igrača svih vremena? Da, dobro ste pročitali! Iako je osvojio tri MVP titule i predvodio Denver Nagetse do prve šampionske titule u istoriji kluba, Jokić je iza legendi poput Kevina Garneta i ispred Dirka Novickog, ali ispod Kobi Brajanta, koji je zauzeo 11. mesto.
Kriterijumi i kontroverze
Lista koju je sastavio američki sportski portal Bleacher Report uključuje novinare, urednike i analitičare koji su uzeli u obzir statistike, individualne nagrade, uspehe u plejofu, osvajanje titula, kao i kulturni značaj igrača. Na vrhu je, očekivano, Majkl Džordan, a u top 10 su i Lebron Džejms, Karim Abdul Džabar, Medžik Džonson, Bil Rasel, Šakil O’Nil, Tim Dankan, Leri Bird, Vilt Čemberlen i Stef Kari.
Ali, da li je Kobi Brajant na 11. mestu stvarno ispred Jokića? Petostruki NBA šampion i legenda Los Anđeles Lejkersa zauzeo je mesto koje mnogi smatraju preniskim, dok je Jokić, sa svojom nesebičnošću i vizuelno ekstremnim talentom, već sada u društvu 20 najvećih imena NBA.
Jokić – najbolji dodavač među centrima?
Debata o tome da li je Jokić najbolji dodavač među centrima u istoriji NBA traje već dugo. Njegova brzina procesuiranja igre i nesebičnost inspirišu čak i najiskusnije igrače da menjaju stil igre, trče brže i pojačaju odbranu. Osim što je sjajan dodavač, Jokić je razvio ubitačan napadački arsenal koji je već doveo njegov tim do titule.
Šta donosi budućnost?
Bleacher Report smatra da će Jokić vremenom sigurno napredovati na ovoj listi i da je trenutno na pragu top 15 igrača svih vremena. Sa tri MVP titule i prvom šampionskom titulom za Denver Nagetse, njegova karijera je već impresivna, ali da li je 17. mesto zaista zasluženo ili je vreme da se preispita rangiranje?
Zaključak
Jokić je već sada legenda NBA lige, ali lista najboljih svih vremena uvek izaziva polemike. Da li je 17. mesto za srpskog centra premalo? Da li Kobi Brajant zaslužuje da bude ispred njega? Ili je možda vreme da se Jokić popne još više? Ostavite svoje mišljenje – da li biste vi menjali ovu listu? Ko je po vama najbolji NBA igrač svih vremena?

NBA LEGENDS AND JOKIĆ: IS 17TH PLACE ENOUGH?
Did you know Nikola Jokić, the Serbian center and three-time NBA MVP, ranked 17th on the list of the 100 greatest NBA players of all time? Yes, you read that right! Despite winning three MVP titles and leading the Denver Nuggets to their first-ever championship, Jokić is placed behind legends like Kevin Garnett and ahead of Dirk Nowitzki, but below Kobe Bryant, who is 11th.
Criteria and Controversies
The list, compiled by the American sports portal Bleacher Report, involved journalists, editors, and analysts who considered statistics, individual awards, playoff success, titles won, and cultural impact. At the top is, expectedly, Michael Jordan, with the top 10 including LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Steph Curry.
But is Kobe Bryant really ahead of Jokić at 11th? The five-time NBA champion and Lakers legend is placed lower than many think he deserves, while Jokić, with his selflessness and visually extreme talent, is already among the top 20 NBA names.
Jokić – The Best Passing Center?
The debate about whether Jokić is the best passing center in NBA history has been ongoing. His speed of processing the game and selflessness inspire even the most experienced players to change their style, run faster, and improve defense. Besides being a great passer, Jokić has developed a deadly offensive arsenal that has already brought his team a title.
What Does the Future Hold?
Bleacher Report believes Jokić will surely climb higher on this list over time and is currently on the verge of the top 15 players of all time. With three MVP titles and the first championship for the Denver Nuggets, his career is already impressive, but is 17th place truly deserved, or is it time to reconsider the ranking?
Conclusion
Jokić is already an NBA legend, but the list of the greatest of all time always sparks controversy. Is 17th place too low for the Serbian center? Does Kobe Bryant deserve to be ahead of him? Or is it time for Jokić to rise even higher? Share your opinion – would you change this list? Who do you think is the greatest NBA player ever?
