LeBron James: “Jokic is one of the greatest players to ever play this game.”
Lebron has changed, he used to pick Jokic last in the All Stars.
jokic deserves that. he never plays hard in allstar games
Everyone plays like that…
Jokic takes it into another level. He’s that good
I still remember that lob from Kyrie to Jokic for a dunk in an all star game, bro jumped two inches and gave up lmfao.
Yeah but tbf that’s half his max jump height /s
Generational sandbagger.
And LeBron always tried kind of recruitung guys on All Star or in Team USA.
That’s not really relevant at all. Jokic is one of the least entertaining all stars in the actual all star game itself
But that has nothing to do with his greatness as a player
We’ll have to see if he maintains this praise once more people start realizing that Jokic has peaked higher than him.
lol
Peaked higher if you ignore defense and era
Peaked higher if you consider stats and advanced metrics
Tell me you’re a box score watcher without telling me you’re a box score watcher
Just say “peaked higher if you ignore common sense”
That’s all that needs to be said here
Lebrons had like 4 different peaks
That are all lower than the Peak Jokic is having.
Hell no
You genuinely got warriors flairs telling you that you’re wrong about a negative comment lebron. Kinda doesn’t get more evident that that lol
Never happened at playoffs and at RS if se including whole scheme
Sure
Offensively, yea good case to be made. Overall? Seems like you don’t care about defense at all, so you’re probably not the best to be talking about peaks.
I care about defense. It’s just that being a transcendent offensive force more than makes up for defense. There’s a reason why we understand that Curry is better than Chris paul.
Dude, Lebron is just as impactful as all time offensive greats like MJ, Jokic and Steph. He’s in the same tier as those guys as offensive GOATs. Even if you think Jokic is #1 among those 4 guys offensively, Lebron is so much better of a defender than Jokic. Come on.
Prime Bron was just as transcendent as Jokic on offense while also being DPOY-level on defense. I’m also a big “being a transcendent offensive force can make up for lackluster defense” guy, I mean, I root for Luka, and I just posted a comment where I said two-way players are becoming overrated, but we’re talking studs among studs already here. If all those guys at the top are all almost tied in offensive capability, then the other things will matter more as the deciding factors. Jokic isn’t THAT much better of an offensive savant that it completely erases the gap everywhere else. At that tier, the margins on offense are thinner than people want to admit. When you’re comparing all-time engines, playmaking hubs, and primary scorers who bend defenses every possession, you’re basically arguing flavors of elite rather than different levels of elite.
Yea which is dismissive of the fact that Bron comes close to how good offensively Jokic is and is so so so so clearly heads and shoulders above him defensively. So yea. It’s like you don’t care at defense
Lebron is not in the same tier as Jokic offensively. Jokic is a better shooter from all spots on the floor, a better passer; a better screener, a better rebounder, better in the post, etc. Lmao, it’s not even close if you think about it.
Aw, it’s cute when people act like current Bron is what it means when we talk about offensive Bron
Who is still averaging 23 points a game at fucking 41
Not trying to throw shade at Vince Carter but when he was this age he was washed washed (sorry Vince Carter I threw shade at you)
LeBron wasn’t/isn’t a “transcendent offensive force”?
HE IS THE LITERAL TOP SCORER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA
And there it is lmao. No he hasn’t wtf
This salt harvested from lebronto beach
Peaked with one title?
Dude cmon man. 2013 era LeBron was the best player in the history of the game.
Mic audio sounds like shitty AI vids. Almost made me double check this was real, but I know Bron has said this in the past anyway.
It’s real😂😂
LeJoke
He ain’t wrong.
Straight facts, Jokic legitimately may be the best offensive player ever in the modern era.
over steph?
As a complete offensive weapon… yes. His playmaking is on a whole different level.
I go further to say that he was one of greatest entertainers of the last 25 years
LeGlaze
Jokic haters been conflicted as fuck these last couple of years.. All their fav players got Jokic in GOAT tier.
Only two men in GOAT tier
I agree. It’s Jokic and Jordan but if you wanna be nice then you can add Lebron, Duncan, Bill and Kareem.
Dont put jokic anywhere near those names
The only GOAT tier equestrian to ever receive a compliment from Lebron.
To me, Steph is the goat offensive guy. Jokic is really challenging steph for that title and might already be better on offense
Jokic surpassed Curry a few MVP’s ago
so, jokic is top 5 all time player for you with 1 ring?
he has the regular season awards but he has not done enough in the post season. also his championship run wasnt that difficult. its not like dirks ring.
he might be a better player than steph, but he is not yet greater.
Hes as many FMVP as Curry and more MVP’s. Ofc its debatable, thats the fun of these discussions, but Jokic is among the best players of all time.
Again this crap take?
Always hilarious to see droolers use the “Rings erneh” argument.
Do you think teams should hand pick their opponents in the playoffs? Why didn’t the teams you think should have won simply not beat the teams they actually faced?
Why didn’t the teams you think should have won simply not beat the teams they actually faced?
A question you horse-milkers still haven’t seemed to ask yourselves since round 2 last spring.
…what?
Average r/nba Serbian moron.
I’m neither Serbian nor a Nuggets fan lil bro
Oh so no reason to be this stupid other than a love of the game. Cheers!
You’re getting all pressed over Nuggets fans upset about losing to OKC when im not even a fan and im referencing the entire season before when the Heat beat Celtics/Bucks/Knicks. People said it should’ve been Nuggs vs Celtics.
OKC education system failing you again. Keep up bud
Such a bias take. What does Steph do better offensively other than make contested 3s/open 3s and his dribble ability? Does he even do anything better than LeBron other than those two metrics? Even KD? Steph as a player in all time rankings is tremendously overrated. He is marketable, and the face of a dynasty during the current/most recent era of nba history. He changed the way the younger generation plays yes, but that was inevitable as 3>2, and shooting 35% from 3 is better than being a 50% from 2 player long term in production stats. He’s no where near the best offensive player to touch the court.
Steph is the greatest off ball mover in NBA history. His movement alone opens up the whole floor for his teammates. You saying his 3 ball is the only thing in his arsenal is such a braindead take. The man has elite handles and his finishing around the rim is formidable for a small guard.
Bro get jokic’s cock out of your mouth. You are severely underrating just how much better of a shooter Steph is than literally anyone ever.
I am as loathe to credit Curry as anyone, but disregarding his gravity, his elite and under-appreciated finishing, his actually solid defense, and the fact he won’t just fucking stop playing (unlike someone). You win the games by scoring the points. Steph is a real threat to pull up from half court. He is the only person to be a legitimate threat from that distance and anywhere within it. I have never seen anyone as demoralizing as Steph when he takes over a game. There is no way to stop a shooter like that, period.
Tell that dude to take Jokics cock out of their mouth while you proceed to slam Curry’s down your own throat lmao
I’m sorry, I just watch basketball.
Is it appropriate for Lebron James to comment on an equestrian? It gets to a point where you wonder if he’s mocking him, you know?
Downvote all you want ppl, but MJ would never say some shit like that.
