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.”
