Abdul-Jabbar also mentioned Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid and Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, but Abdul-Jabbar needs to watch them more often before placing them above Davis. “But, as you said, Embiid … he’s tough, Jokic … he’s tough,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “I haven’t seen them play a lot. I might change my mind if I get a chance to see them play more, but I’m going to have to go with AD because I’m a Laker through and through and he’s proved it so far.”
