Women’s hoops superstar Caitlin Clark shared that her favorite player to watch is Nikola Jokic. She shared her thoughts on NBC, going on to say he’s the best player in the world. The Denver Nuggets big-man only offered a fun quip back.

“We have the same agent,” Jokic said very straightforward. “That’s why she said it.”

Excel Sports Management represents both Jokic and Clark. That agency was founded by Jeff Schwartz.

Clark has been appearing as a guest on Basketball Night in America. She said it from Oklahoma City before a game between the Thunder and Knicks, previewing  he later game between the Nuggets and Warriors.

“There aren’t many people who average a triple-double. You’re lucky to get maybe a couple of those in a season,” Clark said. “He’s done it all year long, in back-to-back years. It’s pretty incredible. Honestly, he’s probably my favorite player to watch, and I think he’s the best player in the world.”

Jokic shared his thoughts about Clark’s thoughts right after the game, where he fell short of a triple-double but helped his claim of the league’s top rebounder and top assist thrower. He scored 25 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and tossed eight assists in the blowout Nuggets win.

The former Iowa star is now a two-time WNBA All-Star with the Indiana Fever and has been a sensation for years. Her deep range shooting as a Hawkeye got her deals with huge brands like Nike and State Farm as she eventually became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer and led Iowa to two national championship games.

“You run two at him, he’s gonna make the right play,” she said, offering more about Jokic. “He’s gonna find the right pass. There’s not many big players that can make the right pass, make the right read. He does it every single time, every single game. I think that’s what I love about him. Obviously, he has the scoring. But a lot of time, you go and check the box score, you watch the game, he’s taken five shots in the first half but he has 12 assists. So no matter what the other team does, he’s gonna find a way to tear you apart.”
