    All depends on how many rings he can get. Because awards and stat wise he's already in the conversation. Never been a more efficient player in the league.

    I don't agree with most of the criticism he receives except when it has to do with refusing to take responsibility and blaming.

    I kinda feel bad for Luka and Giannis I thought they would be dueling to be the next king but I guess Jokic is him.

    I can't see Luka winning ever. He whines so much and plays worse defense than Harden.

    to watch Curry and Lebron not make it out of the first round would feel about as good as seeing the Rockets in the WCF again

    It helps when you are consistently in the playoffs, hitting game winning shots and are already an NBA champ from the previous season having proven yourself in the biggest stage. Let's just start with JG making the playoffs first, shall we?

    There is nothing weak about his supporting cast. You may wanna look up Murray playoff numbers.

    I love Jamal Murray. My Canadian prince silenced the Fakers with that buzzer beater.

    If jokic didn’t play this season denver is not a playoff team, they’re probably in the 35 win range

    He only gets those numbers thanks to Jokic. If Jokic leaves I doubt Denver even make the playoffs. I haven't seen a superstar win with a weaker cast and I have been watching since YaoMac days.

    Murray is like a beggar version of Irving, MPJ is as bad on defense as he is as good on offense and Gordon is like the PF version of De Andre Jordan, all athleticism no skills.

    Denver about to sweep Lakers but they are literally 5-8 without Jokic.

    If you take out Jokic and Sengun I am sure this team will beat the Nuggets in a 7 game series.

    I think in this era, it is pretty easy to ring chase and create a super team, he has been exceptionally loyal to Dallas which is a decent spot but not the Top place in the entire NBA.

    Or let's call it the Super Second Apron team. Lebron whines just as much and is in the GOAT convo since I can remember.

    I think you're being a little hard on Murray, dude can hoop. He's been highly efficient in the regular season and seems to thrive in the playoffs.
