Alden Polynice: Jokic Is a Better Bill Laimbeer
Former NBA center Alden Polynice claims he could still guard Nikola Jokic today, comparing the three-time MVP to Bill Laimbeer and praising Alex Caruso's defense on him.
Alden Polynice has dismissed Nikola Jokic's game, saying the three-time MVP would struggle against him even now, more than a decade after his own NBA career ended.
"I could still guard him now. I'm serious. Give me three or four fouls and I guarantee I'd handle it. He doesn't jump, he plays flat-footed. Nikola Jokic is just a slightly improved version of Bill Laimbeer, that's all. I don't care what anyone says. You're not Hakeem Olajuwon. You're not better than Hakeem, Joker. Sorry, but that's the truth. Shaq would have destroyed you. The one thing that gets me is you let Alex Caruso hold you."
