On Wednesday night, the New York Knicks accomplished a feat that very few NBA teams can do - sweeping Nikola Jokic in a regular season series. In November, the Knicks absolutely destroyed the Nuggets 145-118.

Jokic had high praise for this Knicks' squad and their championship aspirations. Jokic knows a thing or two about championship-level teams, as a champion and Finals MVP himself.

Two years after he won an NBA title, Nikola Jokic views the surging New York Knicks as a “top-five candidate” to end their 52-year championship drought.
