After being labeled as just average, the best basketball player on the planet, Nikola Jokic, has declared the New York Knicks as legitimate title contenders. “They’re playing really well,” Jokic stated. “They’re well-coached, they’re pushing the pace, and in the half-court, they know what they’re doing. So they’re a really good team. I think they are the favorites — not the favorites, but I think they’re top five candidates for the title.” With the Knicks recently beating the Denver Nuggets 122-112, they secured their fifth straight win. Next up, they face off against the LA Lakers, and the excitement is palpable! #KnicksNation #NBAPlayoffs #TitleContenders #Jokic #WinningStreak #LakersVsKnicks #Basketball #Hoops #NBA2025
