Can Nuggets star Nikola Jokic “give me 40 or 50 points against a great team?” NBA analysts say they’re still not convinced.

Former NBA standouts Reggie Miller, Greg Anthony say they want to see Jokic close out a team in the postseason the way LeBron James and Kevin Durant have throughout their careers.
