Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett came up with a wild comparison for the Nuggets superstar, claiming he resembles Wilt Chamberlain.
During his time suiting up for Boston, Williams wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 7.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
Garnett called Jokic the modern-day Chamberlain alongside Hall of Fame forward Paul Pierce in a recent episode of KG Certified. “Joker is Wilt. Joker is doing Wilt [Chamberlain] like s***, bro,” Garnett said.
The Boston Celtics' victory moves them closer to one of their key goals this season: securing a spot in the NBA Playoffs. Despite the progress, Jaylen Brown addressed the team’s ongoing struggle with inconsistency.
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
Nikola Jokic netted a three-pointer from 66ft as the Serb recorded his fifth successive triple-double as the Denver Nuggets' saw off the Sacramento Kings 132-123. The 25-year-old top scored for the Nuggets with 35 points, 22 rebounds and a season-high 17 assists.
