Nikola Jokic has won his last five games against Stephen Curry and his last six games against LeBron James, giving him an active 11-0 record over the two icons.

Nikola Jokic is making the conversation of the best player in the NBA a moot point, as everyone can see that Jokic is currently in his own tier as the best player in the league.

This is also exemplified by his record against two of the NBA’s active greats, LeBron James and Stephen Curry.

The reigning Finals MVP hasn’t lost to either James or Curry in his last 11 contests.

Jokic has won his last six games against LeBron James, including the four-game sweep in the 2023 Western Conference Finals and their two regular-season victories over the Lakers this season. Jokic fares just as well against Stephen Curry, currently on a 5-0 run against the greatest shooter of all time. Combining his records, he’s yet to taste defeat in the last 11 games against either man.

He’s been extremely dominant in this run as well. Jokic is averaging a triple-double in games against LeBron and the Lakers, averaging 27.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 11.2 assists in their last six contests. Steph and the Warriors don’t fare much better, with Jokic still averaging a triple-double with 29.8 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 11.0 assists in the last five games.

This proves wholeheartedly we’re in a new era of basketball. with LeBron’s Lakers and Steph’s Warriors both fighting for the ninth and tenth seed at the moment, it’s clear that their years of unparalleled dominance and four consecutive NBA Finals matchups are long over.
