Jokic I think can be considered one of the greatest centers of all time. He is so skilled on offense, not so much on D, but when you are 30-20-20 good, something never before done, you are special. DD
This just goes to show you the talent level of the NBA today compared to MJ era. Today's NBA the talent is way too high no one player can lift a team by himself anymore. Most dominant player the last 5 yrs, at least a level above everyone else and only 1 ring to show for it. Nuggets arent even the favorites to win a ring this year lol.
One of a kind. MJ would beat you by being unstoppable himself. Jokic beats you by being unstoppable in using his teammates like chess pieces. The way he manipulates defenses and his timing... There's not a single person in history with better processing of the game. He just takes what the defenses give him - and he just so happens to be elite at everything that a defense might give him.
I actually think it shows the opposite - MJ era had so many skilled/talented players it was spread across the league … nowadays it’s way more compact (and the super teams kind of ruined it) talented centers - MJ ERA talented PFs - MJ ERA talented SFs - this era talented SGs - MJ ERA talented PGs - toss up, but I would say MJ ERA not taking away from Steph, Jokic, Bron
I saw a comment on a board somewhere that Jokic looks like he plays basketball like he was cursed by an old Gypsy woman to be the best basketball player on the planet but he's constantly fighting against the curse.
Jesus ****ing christ…what a self-involved piece of ****. I truly wish someone would beat the living **** out of him, zero remorse for a garbage human being like him. And the NBA can go **** off too by protecting this dude at all cost, giving him a job and a career instead of punishing him. Imagine any other player doing what he’s done, no chance they would be on TNT, no chance they can get off with some therapy sessions and a couple of games suspension, etc.
Curry is the best thing to ever happen to Draymond. He gets immunity for all his wicked actions because of his association with the Golden Boy. Makes it even more infuriating how self-righteous Steven Kerr is about everything but for Draymond he completely looks the other way.
That's funny. But yeah, he doesn't look like he cares that much, just casually racks up unbelievable production.
The narrative that he doesn't even like basketball or is casual about his job is likely false. I've heard interviews where his teammates say that he works hard and is a perfectionist when it's practice time. It makes more sense that there's a lot of work behind his talent and he pretends to not care to keep the media off his back. He likely hates to lose much like most of the all timers.
