This comparison should be fairly obvious since he is clearly the Nuggets’ best player. With that in mind, let’s dive right into this Broncos equivalent. Nikola Jokic is Von Miller. Every Denver fan knows about the greatness of Von Miller.
If not, then you have been living under a rock for the last three years. While Jokic is still very young and only entering his third season, he has already solidified himself as the best player the Nuggets possess just like Von has for the Denver Broncos.
Jokic has been dazzling fans in the Mile High for the past couple seasons now and everyone is excited for the future of Nuggets basketball being commanded by the Joker. Von Miller has been great for the Broncos is currently in his prime of his career already boasting a Super Bowl MVP and one Super Bowl title. While Jokic still has a bit to go to get a decorated resume like Von, it is important to keep in mind Jokic is still very young.
One similarity they both have is they are the clear cut leader of their respective teams and clearly the best player as well. Nikola is extremely valuable to the Nuggets and they are not willing to trade him unless they were to receive someone like LeBron and that is clearly the case for the Broncos with Von Miller.
As a matter of fact, the Broncos would probably not trade Miller for ANYONE in the NFL.

While this comparison seems a little off at first, it does make sense when you really think long and hard about it.
