"Like Michael Jordan": Tony Parker propels Novak Djokovic to the rank of absolute legend
The words are strong, and spoken by someone who knows what greatness is. When asked about Novak Djokovic, Tony Parker did not hesitate for a single second:
"Novak is one of the best athletes of all time, in all sports. We can absolutely compare him to Michael Jordan in my sport. I have a lot of respect for him."
From the mouth of a four-time NBA champion, a player who has been around the legend Jordan, this analysis resonates as the ultimate validation of the Serb's iconic status.
Equating Djokovic to Michael Jordan is not an ordinary comparison. It is a recognition of the level of demand, longevity, and cultural impact that only the greatest transcend.
