Klutch Sports Group founder Rich Paul expressed his belief that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is the best player in the NBA over Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić.

NBA agent Rich Paul was among the first to anoint Anthony Edwards as the “best player in the world” for his recent success leading the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul’s podcast with Max Kellerman featured them having an in-depth conversation breaking down the top active player.

The Denver Nuggets' three-time MVP played just five minutes in the All-Star Game.

Jokić is on pace to be an all-time great with three MVPs, an NBA Finals MVP, seven All-NBA selections and eight All-Star selections on his resume, and a second championship would only bolster his standing among the league's icons.

"I think they are top three in the East – so he's a really good player," said Jokic.

Rich Paul's at it again, but this time, it’s about who’s the best player in the NBA. He had a lengthy answer to the particular question.

Rich Paul believes that Anthony Edwards is a better player than Nikola Jokic and thinks he's on his way to becoming the face of the NBA.
