Cacs are saying Nikola Jokic > Carmelo Anthony

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Y’all really putting jokic over prime melo.

Must’ve just started watching basketball in 2015

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Link me to some touch passes, no looks, and behind the backs that Jokic does by Walton

Sabonis >> both of them

 

[AlainLocke]

Melo was no doubt a top ten player during his time in Denver. You can't say the same for Jokic.

Jokic is a debatable top 5 player right now.

Only Giannis, James Harden, Stephen Curry and KD I would pick over him today.

Melo was at the bottom of top 10.

Jokic fan here yall need to pump your breaks he's just getting started yes he will have a bigger impact than melo in denver leave race outta this

 

[obarth]

But Jokic is a better player than Melo.

Denver even had success immediately after he left and was led by Ty Lawson and Gallo.

Melo is overrated.

What success did Denver have after Melo that they didn't have with him? This is not rhetorical. Melo got further on the Knicks than Denver has ever gotten since he left. The last time Denver won their division, it was with Melo. Please, explain this post-Melo, success.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Anyone saying Jokic is better than Melo is a prisoner of the moment. Lets see what his career looks like in 10 years.

 

[obarth]

yes he will have a bigger impact than melo in denver

When, doe? He's four playoff appearances short already

[Monsanto]

Y'all been clowing Melo for years.

The Coli is always being watched right?

Y'all changing your tune now until this white boy starts calling him Carmelo Hamthony.

 

[Lakerman0834]

There would have been plenty of fat fukks and white stiffs for Jokic to pad his stats against



And on any given night them nikkas could get work too. Divac is not fukking with Jokic do y’all have eyes?

You obviously never saw vlade play

 

[Lakerman0834]

Sabonis >> both of them

The way Walton use to Stan Sabonis talking about how a young arvydas was probably one of the greatest players he’d ever witnessed. We were robbed

There are a LOT of guys around the league who said that he would have been a top-five player, some of them said he could have been the best player in the league. He was basically a more physical Yao if Yao was mobile and had better bball IQ. We may never see an athletic and strong as hell 7'3", 290lb center with soft touch, three-point range and elite bball IQ ever again.

This is how he looked at 21 - blocking shots, dunking on fools....how many 7'3" 21-year-olds already have a hook shot and a three?

 

[InstantKlassik]

Nah y’all smoking

Giannis has no jump shot, and Harden doesn't play defense.

Top 3 depending on how healthy Kawhi is.
