I think he’s an incredible player but he’s more Giannis tier than the LeBron one people tried to force upon him

Yep. Has nothing to do with him. His fans just never hold him accountable, on top of being absolutely insufferable when it comes to talking about any other player that isn’t Jokic

Zach Lowe saying he’s better than Bird and Magic really rubbed me the wrong way. And I love Zach Lowe.

This is how I feel about SGA. People keep comparing him to Jordan! Michael freaking Jordan!

Career 57% TS% in the playoffs but for some reason, not a word. Harden is clowned on for being a choker but his career TS% in the playoffs is 58.7%. I know it’s a little misleading, Harden’s had some Harry Houdini ass games in how he disappears, but that just means he makes up for it in other games?

I hate Harden btw, he’s the OG bball Hitler to me. But let’s just call a spade a spade.

Yeah let’s try and bring more negative energy forward, that’ll help everyone. Good idea.

Your hate projecting is the only double standard.

Saying Jokic’s Prime offensive impact is comparable to LeBron’s prime offense is not the same as saying Jokic is better on the whole.

You don’t break a bunch of triple double records by only playing bad teams. Especially his historically great performances in the playoffs when the bad teams are gone. You’re blatantly writing off the majority of Jokic’s playoffs.

Jokic’s worst playoff game of his career and yet you ignore that the entire rest of the team was dogshit too? Spencer Jones and freaking Zeke Nnaji were probably the only players that weren’t worse than Jokic today.

I honestly feel bad that this is they way some of you interact with sports, pretty sad stuff

So crazy people appreciate one of the greatest players to ever play basketball while they’re doing it at the peak of their abilities. Truly, insane. So glad he had a bad game so everyone struggling through that adversity can finally have a day to beat their chest.

I would say football/soccer deals with the same thing. Media especially in Spain and England can be brutal.

It feels like not a single person here remembers Jokic playing good against your Lakers. His whole playoff career is a lie based on the last 2 games

But he doesn’t have a typical center shot diet it’s why it’s more impressive!!!!!

And play 3 play in teams

-Absurd offensive production

-3+ MVP award wins 

-questionable playoff resume 

Welcome back Wilt Chamberlain.

And that’s why he’s the GOAT, and why Jokic can’t be in these conversations. If you can’t look clearly better than LeBron in the playoffs at 41, you’re getting battered, breaded, and DEEP FRIED by LeBron from 2012 - 2020

What about 2012-2018?

Chokic got locked up by Caruso

Seriously. They beat Jimmy Butler and bench players in the Finals and Denver fans act like other recent championship runs were easy. Give me a break.

You mean the Timberwolves.

You can literally do this for almost any NBA champion lol. Last year OKC beat Memphis with no one, an injured nuggets team with Jokic who apparently sucks now, and a Pacers team without their best player. 2 years ago Boston beat the play-in Heat, the choker Cavs, and injured Mavs, all sub-50 wins in the east btw.

Nah, what he did to AD (one of the greatest defenders in our generation) was absolutely insane. Don’t take away that playoffs run. For me that cemented Jokic as one of the all time greats. Does that put him in LeBron/ Jordan tier? Fuck no. But it does suck for Jokic he has to keep playing the Wolves. Reminds me in ‘09 how the Rockets really made Kobe work because they had Artest AND Battier, and they even took them to 7. People wanna clown on Jokic and given how absurd the glazing is, I get it. But he’s an all time great offensive player – we are simply seeing how an all time great defender (Gobert) can slow him down enough to make his team beatable. Exactly what the Rockets did to the Lakers in ‘09.

Jokic barely has wins over 50 win teams and it’s still more than Embiid😭

50 wins is so arbitrary. Only one other team in the West had 50 wins that year and it was the Ja led Grizzlies, who lost to a 6th seed.

Also, Boston and Milwaukee shat the bed against an 8th seed. What is Jokic supposed to do about that?

Finally, they were rewarded for being a 1st seed. Ofc they would have an easier path of the final

Edit : They beat the Clippers during a shortened COVID season. The Clippers were on pace for 50 wins. Were they worse opponent because they didn’t hit 50 wins? Whys it have been magically better beating them at 50 wins instead of 49?

If they ever figure out defensive advanced stats Jokic truthers are cooked

They talk about him like he’s a 5 time champion. In reality he consistently falls short in the playoffs

I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say that sengun is somehow a better defender than him

They are genuinely delusional. Its time to start calling out this jokic gaslighting nonsense.

He isnt average on defense he is a flat out liability

This is why PRA is so bad in this era. People like to compare the PRA of Shai to others like Luka and Jokic and think they’re making some valid points.

Damn he’s COOKED

Since after the bubble Gobert be shutting Jokic down lowkey

That’s why Connelly traded for him

Wolves literally blew the Nuggets out in playoff game when Rudy missed the game lol

Yeah Naz was not good this game.

On terrible efficiency and 11 free throws lmaoo

Let’s not go overboard, Jokic would absolutely shred Sengun

Source for this being the worst drop in NBA history?

Ah so step one shoot an insanely high TS. Step 2 shoot and average TS. Got it

What ever Jokic does it won’t be enough, Wolves too good. Denver is getting a dose of karma for what they did to Russ.

So not the best
