Jefferson: Chet wants to physically contact Jokic as soon as possible. It s like defending O Neal

May 7th News Recently, former NBA player Richard Jefferson talked about defending Jokic on Ryen Russillo's show.

Jefferson said: "You have to put pressure on him every moment, which is a bit like the way people defended Shaq. You can't wait for Shaq at the free throw line. You have to start physical contact with him in the half, you can't let him ask for the ball deeper, if you defend against Shaq, collide with him as soon as possible.

"If Jokic brings the ball over, Chet has to put pressure on him, which requires a lot of demand for Chet. But if Jokic serves the ball, Chet will lead the defense in the whole game, which will make Jokic transfers slower by two seconds. ”
