77.3% TS which is +19 rTS (19 percentage points above the league average). This is, of course, on pace to smash the record for a volume scorer.

Can you please tell me what defines a volume scorer? I know there is a breaking point, and it’s obviously important, but I never know where stat sites set that point.

Frosty_Salamander_94

11 | 6 hours ago

There is no strict definition. I’d say 20-22 pts/75 possessions (the typical amount of possessions a star player plays in a game, normalizing for pace).

I watch most nuggets games and I’ve been telling anybody who would listen that jokic had been missing easy bunnies the past couple of years. Not a crazy amount, just noticeable for him. Well now we’re seeing that he’s not doing that anymore lol

“It’s not sustainable. He’s been able to fly under the radar being a second or third option. But now the league will start scheming for him and I think you’ll see him come down to earth pretty quickly.” - Nick Wright, in an alternate universe, probably.

FKJVMMP | MIL

I’d be stunned if he maintained 77.3% TS tbf, but “coming back down to earth” for him is probably still like 70%.

MightTurbulent319 | Nuggets

75% is sustainable. Just keep not missing any shot. How hard can it be? This is what MVPs do for a living.

spizcraft | Nuggets

Nick Wright hates Jokic because he plays for a Denver sports team and Wright is from Kansas City. He will never, ever appreciate or admire him because of his personal bias. There are analysts who genuinely love the sport of basketball and what Jokic has contributed to it like Zach Lowe, Ben Taylor, or Tim Legler and basketball fanatics like Bill Simmons. Then there are mainstream talking head personalities who just like to hear themselves talk and antagonize social media users like Wright.

I havnt watched a huge amount of first things first but last year he literally had jokic as the number 1 player heading into playoffs at points alongside sga

DyslexicAutronomer | Supersonics

He got crazy ratio-ed after the nuggets won in 2023, since he had numerous viral takes saying various versions of Jokic being a fraud mvp.

Since then, he has learned to give Jokic his flowers.

I never understood this logic. What changes about Jokic or Curry’s game if he gets another ring? He’s either better at basketball or not lol.

Murky_Difference | Nuggets

14 | 7 hours ago

I mean, this is entirely subjective. By this logic, I’d say that Jokic is already the best floor raiser of all time.

We look at MVPs and rings for a somewhat objective manner of declaring all time greats. A dude that’s scoring like SGA, rebounding like DeAndre Jordan, and assisting like Jokic but has never won an NBA title is a big question mark. See Westbrook.

Fearless_Ride8639

Where does that logic come from lol? I’m talking about in comparing the totality of their careers. Is it somehow a hot take that someone who would have 4 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs, 6 first teams, triple double leader all time, averaged 26,13,11 30, 13,10 And 26,12,9 on some of the most ridiculous shooting splits ever seen while having some of the highest PER, BPM, seasons and barely having all star teammates by age 30 just might be better than Curry?? Not saying he’s way better but I think yes he would have the edge. Is that somehow offensive to Curry? I don’t think it is. Curry is great in his own right too. Some people have him top 10 some don’t just depends

Take it as a hypothetical. Say someone had drose career lasting on that year vs Jokic career lasting only the 24-25 season. You are saying Drose career in this hyoptherical situation is better?

4 MVPs + 2 FMVPs puts him above Steph/Kobe/Hakeem/Wilt tier imo. Right now he’s a bit below. Only players with 4 MVPs in the modern era are MJ and Bron, its rare territory.
