"Could have won MVP five years in a row" - $179,299,750 NBA star calls Nikola Jokic the GOAT over LeBron James and Michael Jordan

The GOAT debate usually involves Michael Jordan and LeBron James, but a current NBA star prefers Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic as the greatest ever. The $179.3 million forward even thought that "The Joker" could have won five MVP awards in a row.

Michael Porter Jr. has been having a hell of an offseason, wilding on interviews that got social media talking. He recently appeared on PlaqueBoyMax's live stream and was asked some hard-hitting questions, including who his GOAT was.

It was an easy answer for MPJ, who named Nikola Jokic as the greatest player ever. They were teammates for seven seasons in Denver, winning one championship in 2023.

"I'm going Nikola Jokic," Porter said. "The reason I say that is because he could have won MVP five years in a row. Can you name another player that could have won MVP five years in a row?"

Nikola Jokic is a three-time MVP and could have won two more in 2023 and 2025. He's arguably the best player in the world today and might add another one this upcoming season.

Michael Porter Jr. added that LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are also in the GOAT conversation. He just had a closer look at Jokic and saw firsthand the greatness of "The Joker."

Nevertheless, it would be different next season since the Denver Nuggets shipped MPJ to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Cam Johnson. Porter gets a fresh start in Brooklyn, while the Nuggets were able to add more pieces like Jonas Valanciunas, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Nikola Jokic looking to add EuroBasket triumph to his resume

One of the few things missing from Nikola Jokic's trophy cabinet is a EuroBasket gold medal. Serbia has come close twice in 2009 and 2017, but it has been elusive. Jokic didn't play in both years, though he's getting a chance this year.

"The Joker" looked focused in Serbia's first three preliminary round games against Estonia, Portugal and Latvia. He's averaging 24.3 points, 10.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists, while shooting 65.0% from the field.

With Bogdan Bogdanovic out for the rest of the tournament, Jokic dropped 39 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals in Serbia's 84-80 win over Latvia. They have two games left in the group stage versus Czechia and Turkey before entering the knockout rounds.
