title should be Nikola “same tier as Jrue Holiday” Jokic drops 55/11/6…

Jrue still got 2 rings, I gotta have him over this bum Joker until he can get some more hardware

Woah that’s a step too far

He’s maybe Ben Simmons tier at best

Which Jokic hasn’t. Jrue should really be a tier above Jokic imo

Because floaters are considered settling for other players. Literally any angle within 10 feet is a layup for him.

This is the glazing I’ve come here for

Take a shot every time someone says it’s not particularly close on r/nba

W glaze. Even though I don’t think it’s glaze if everything you said is factually true.

Extremely valid glaze.

Just to be pedantic: Larry Bird?

I’m a huge Larry Bird fan, and I’ve come to think of Jokic as a 7 foot version of Bird. I 100% agree with you that Jokic has got a great argument for being the goat offensive player.

Other candidates? Curry, Jordan, Wilt?

He’s turning 31 in February, so this is probably right at his physical peak. He’ll for sure still be a great passer and shooter for a long time, but this is probably right at the apex of where physical ability and mental game meet for him.

Will never forgive Westbrook for ruining jokics best game ever , that was basketball terrorism

Sometimes I still can’t believe we got a goat level player and a ring after these decades

Catching fucking strays

Same friend. For most of my life the bucks werent even kangz level. We were like a practice game for the rest of the league to take turns tuning up on lol.

I feel a comradery with denver, we both lucked into a generational big who willed us to a chip and have either been contenders or fringe contenders through the stretch of thwir dominance. And likely when our runs are over we’ll both creep back into the shadows for a few more decades lol

Melo Nuggets were fire ngl.

So did SGA, and double overtime :D

Cuz their final backup center is Zeke

He missed 3 and 5 shots in back to backs and scored 90.

Jokic played Less minutes, fewer missed shots, more rebounds

Thanks Stannis

Fewer is being used by less and less people these days.

Can’t wait wil they get the second one this year so they can keep talkin bout mvps .

And he literally could have landed anywhere else since he was still there at pick #41. What a historic payoff for Denver. 

He increased his season avg for FG%, since he was averaging 67% heading into tonight and scored 55 on 78% today. This level of efficiency makes no sense

No more heaves to tank his efficiency

Why you think he passes so much? Definitely easier to have someone make the cut.

He should have 5 straight MVP’s

The moment the Nuggets start losing, you’ll see them crawling out the woodwork again.

He’s fat! He’s lacking in fitness! Lose weight tubby!

Comes from that fanbase every year tbf

Jrue holiday straight up

He hasn’t even started slow. When that used to happen he was averaging like 16-18 pts until December.

He had 25 PTS after 1st quarter.

being the best offensive engine in this era
is very tough,

i feel sad for
giannis,luka who could have snubbed multiple mvps in other eras
and even for sga even an efficient 32/5/5 aint enough nowdays

Wemby is the worse of the bunch right now, which is fine, he’s already a solid top 5 player in the league in his third season.

Look at the net rating for both teams. Backs your point up emphatically.

Are we sure? OKC looks kind of unstoppable. The sad truth might end up being even if Jokic is somehow even better than ever, it really won’t matter cause the gap actually widened.

The Nuggs reloaded this offseason, and it’s all thanks to the Nets.

Without Shai and Jdub until Christmas you think Chet who’s out every 3 games and Ajay are leading the Thunder to a top 5 seed?

With all the injuries they’ve had to start the year, the Thunder wouldn’t even have a winning record rn without SGA.

It’s a good well coached team, that might could make the play-in if they were all healthy all year. But SGA is the engine that makes it all go, and this team would not be anywhere close to a contender without him

narrative will only favour him if he gets to the playoffs

The narrative was tailormade for Luka to win imo but he ended up getting injured

Nah, Jokic has a solid case, but it’s crazy to say he’s definitely separated himself from Jordan, LeBron or even Curry.

who is in contention? jokic, steph, jordan, bron, KD, bird, dirk, kareem, shaq, harden probably.

jokic is by far the best passer (bron/harden have arguments)

probably the most efficient 3 level scorer (steph/kd have arguments)

honestly i just think he is the best overall offensive player. there is nothing he isn’t all time great at, unless you count his 3pt shooting but for his position he’s very good at it.

Picturing this Jokic on 2017 Warriors with Steph, Klay, Iggy, and Draymond is laughable 

He has a VERY strong argument for best offensive player ever. An absolute finalist along with Curry, Jordan, and Magic, and shortly after them LeBron and Nash

Shhhhhhh people aren’t ready to talk about this yet

That’s exactly when he seemed to get all “let me put Jokic down whenever I get a chance”

the usual “google me chuck/rangz erneh”

Friggin gods

Oh I parsed the meaning perfectly, which is precisely why I asked the question.
