Which player is actually ‘best’ at guarding Nikola Jokic

For whatever reason before the WCF in 2023, there was a conception that Anthony Davis does very well against Nikola Jokic however that narrative has completely flipped.

I’ve seen Nurkic, Ayton, Draymond and Gobert mentioned before but the facts (stats) seem untrue.

While there might not be a Jokic stopper, is there an actual player that defends Jokic well to the point of keeping him to or below his averages?

    Jokic reminds me of Tyson Furry, he’s so big and physical that he tiers you with his physicality. So if there’s a player that it’s good at guarding him on the perimeter he bullies that player with his physicality and gets him tired. If a player that is more physical then him guards him well in the inside he’ll make you run around and get the player chase him on the perimeter and gets the player tired like that.

    The only way to distract him is send someone to Serbia to shoot his horse
