Richard Jefferson spoke on the Lord Trippin podcast about his incredible defensive performance against Alex Caruso’s Nicola Jokic and the Nuggets.

Jefferson wanted to calm Caruso, the greatest defensive player of all time, as Jokic was great and he wasn’t as big and dominant as Shaquille O’Neill.

“We can all sit here and say that Jokic is supposed to be the best player ever in the top 10, top 15. Caruso wasn’t protecting Shack. He was protecting Jokic. Jokic is heavy. Jokic is a monster. He’s not protecting Shack.”

When asked who he thought could properly protect Shaquille O’Neal during his career, Richard Jefferson replied, “Minivan.”

Of course, it is very strict to evaluate a player’s defensive attributes based on how players defend Shaquille O’Neal.

No one could stop the shack on the floor. At best, they were able to limit the damage he caused while trying to outdo him on the offensive edge.

Caruso showed that he could defend all five five positions in the court on his day, despite being a slightly smaller guard.

If OKC Thunder wins the NBA Championship, there will be a large part due to Alex Caruso’s great defensive performance.
