Nikola Jokic is one of the best centers the NBA has ever seen.

He has won the MVP award twice and led the Denver Nuggets to a championship last season.

Though Jokic is a triple-double threat and has broken many records, former NBA player Lou Williams believes he isn't the greatest center of all time.

“I still live in a world where Shaquille O'Neal is the best center I've ever seen... period. There's no science to that,” Williams said on FanDuel TV's Run It Back.

“You know the day that I see Nikola Jokic break a backboard, I mean…” Williams added with a laugh.

Shaq won MVP honors in the 1999-2000 season and was named Finals MVP three times.

Jokic, though, once again has a chance to win another MVP award—which could be his third overall—this season.

He and the Nuggets are up 2-0 in their series against the Los Angeles Lakers, where he has averaged 29.5 points, 16.0 rebounds, and 8.5 assists in the first two games.
