Bang!! Sounds familiar? This iconic catchphrase belongs to the legendary commentator Mike Breen. Whether it is LeBron James, Stephen Curry, or Giannis Antetokounmpo, they all have had ‘Bang’ moments in the NBA finals! Interestingly, as Breen covers his 18th NBA finals, he had something to say about Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic. This comes just weeks after Shaquille O’Neal had surprisingly lauded the two-time MVP.

Everyone around the world is well aware of Jokic’s prowess by now. In fact, there are howls of him being a generational player. Breen, who has seen multiple generational talents, seemed to agree with that notion.

Nikola Jokic is a unique force of nature. Despite being 7-foot tall, the Serbian is known for his incredible court vision and immaculate passing range. On top of that, he is also a great scorer and defender! All in all, the Denver Nuggets superstar is a complete package.

Interestingly, he is the toughest player to anticipate according to the legendary Mike Breen. Talking about his 18-year experience of covering the NBA finals, the announcer gave his thoughts on the 2-time MVP.

He said, “In my years of broadcasting, night in and night out, the difficulty of his passing, the court vision for a seven-footer, I don’t think I’ve seen better.”

Jokic’s passing has been commended by numerous eminent voices in the world of basketball. In fact, fans and experts have termed the Serbian as the greatest passing big man of all time!

Additionally, Breen also touched upon how he gets nervous before every game 1 of the NBA finals. He calls the experience of covering the games an honor and privilege. 

Shaquille O’Neal has also changed his mind about Jokic

Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t the biggest fan of Nikola Jokic until a few weeks ago. When the Denver Nuggets took on the Phoenix Suns in the playoffs, the Joker put on a show.

This urged Shaq to make a controversial claim on live Television. He said, “Nikola Jokic is the best center in the game. You heard it from me.” Interestingly, this claim came just days after The Joker had shoved the Suns’ owner during game 4. Following this take, Shaq received some backlash online for changing his opinions drastically every now and then.
