Who can/could (any era) guard Jokic in the paint 1vs1?

Hi there.
I'm not asking about the other side. Ofc Jokic couldn't do a thing defending Hakeem or Magic's Shaq.

Hakeem? Wallace?

Thks!

DRob, Duncan, Howard, Mourning, Wallace, Thrumond, Russell, Wilt.

1on1, like "just you and me, mano a mano, no one else in the gym. i don't have to worry about anything but the man in front of me, type 1on1?"

wilt and nate. wilt was too damned athletic and nate was too damned determined

3pt or no 3pt? or are wilt and nate going to have to worry about jokic going out 25' away. no wait, nevermind they'll cover him

Thurmond is always the best choice for such questions.

Would like to see Jokic vs Pekovic.

Prime Dwight would be tough for Jokic

Chuck Hayes. Half Joking.

Mitchell Robinson usually does a good job on him.

Add prime Ewing to any list.

There are a bunch of guys who could (or do) give him trouble.

The bigguns from the 90s would be a good start. Ewing, Robinson, Olajuwon, Zo and Shaq. Duncan as well.

I'd be pretty confident in Artis Gilmore and Nate Thurmond giving him trouble, as well as Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, for sure.

I don't think any of them really shuts him down, because he can score from too many places in too many ways, and you can deny only so much, but those guys all had the right tools for it, no doubt.

Lol.
Game recognizes game.

Rasheed Wallace and Duncan seem like good picks to me.

Needs to be someone who can really tire out Jokic when he’s playing defense.

Healthy Embiid.
