What does Jokic need to do to eclipse Hakeem?

  1. He already has. 2 mvp > 1 mvp

    12.5%
  2. Win another ring.

    25.0%
  3. Become a better defender.

    50.0%
  4. It's too close to decide. They're both amazing.

    Obviously on this forum this is silly to ask, nobody will be objective. Can everyone at least agree though he’s the 2nd best player since jordan behind lebron?

    If he wants to eclipse Hakeem, he needs to go the Kobe route and die early, it'll inflate his legend well beyond where it should be.

    Even If Jokic suffers a heart attack while fishing, is then eaten by the great white shark still caught on his line and is dragged and dropped at the base of the titanic 10,000 leagues beneath the sea, and his soul is seen ascending to heaven with a chariot of Angels and the heart of the ocean raised to the heavens within his fist. Even then, he could not eclipse Olajuwon.

    majority of people are going to rank Jokic higher than Hakeem in the future…just watch

    they are handing him MVPs like they’re Halloween candy, and the media glazes his advanced stats non-stop

    he has barely beaten any really good or elite teams in the playoffs, but the media doesn’t care

    Jokic is an amazing player

    However....

    To eclipse Hakeem (in my mind) he might need to win a ring without another all-star on the team....
    It really is testament to Dream's all round game that he could shut it down defensively and carry the load offensively.

    he also got completely robbed of an mvp in a season he should've won it unanimously. His team sucks, take him away and they don't sniff the play in game. His career will be ruined because he doesn't seem to care what denver does, while all they do is make the team worse and worse to save money. It's a disgrace

    I would say if Serbia beat USA and jokic won gold then it’d start becoming a real discussion.

    1 more nba ring could make it a real discussion as well.

    Bro don’t even act like Jokic isn’t the truth.

    Denver and Serbia have no business being this relevant.

    Hakeem is the truth

    Rockets had no business winning the 95 title

    the media will try their hardest to prop Jokic over Hakeem, and it will likely work

    the same media that decided it was too racist to give him 3 mvps in a row even when he was light years ahead of everyone else? please

    Drag a 6th seeded team to a championship while facing multiple 60 win teams on the way. After he does that, we can talk about what else he can do get closer to Hakeem.

    Dream was a dominant defensive player
    I know the newbs today don’t like defensive
