Actually this whole passing center thing is wilt's bag.

Wilt led the league in total assists one year.
1968 for all you pessimistic contrarian face ass goofies.


Also this idea of rhe center being a perimeter threat is wilt's bag too.

Again.

the jordan fade away = wilt's fadeaway

Stop believe'n this kkk media suppression bullshyt.

plus all this neg race base pr around basketball.

Demarcus Cousins has 9 CAREER triple doubles.

Nikola Jokic has 29 triple doubles THIS season

Not even in the same stratosphere of players. Jokic is easily Top 3 centre of all time as we speak and most likely ends up the GOAT

He might be reaching a LITTLE bit but its not as simple as comparing the amount of triple doubles. James Harden has more 3pm than Ray Allen and Reggie Miller. Not because he's better, but because he's in an era that allows him to shoot as many as he wants. Put Ray/Reggie in this era, and their game looks completely different.

Put Demarcus in the system that Jokic is and the results are similar. From a winning perspective? Probably not because he had a bad mentality for someone that is supposed to be leading a team. But from a numbers perspective? Absolutely. Same with C Webb. They had the capabilities to do what Jokic is doing and Wilt did it on a whim way before them.

He ain't the godfather of that shyt though bigs did it before him too like names that was mentioned in here

As a hoops fan though never seein prime Cousins in playoffs some sad shyt. We only got to see :flabbynsick: Cousins in playoffs as a Warrior and then Nugget. He was actually cookin Draymond and Looney even had 19 off bench one game. That was 2022 too it was some shady reason he never got a roster spot again cause he was better than a lot of bench bigs in the league.

The gap is large. This is like comparing CP3 to Trae Young. Trae puts up elite stats but CP3 impacts winning and makes a team much better with his feel for the game and out of this world BBIQ. Jokic might be one of the greatest to ever play.

I think Shaq can be as heliocentric as Jokic in the half court.

Passes on the fast break, no look dimes when he got the ball, got defenses fooled with his looks, had a flair for fancy, terrific at passing out of double teams, etc. Put Shaq on a team with shooters like today and it’d be a 3 point nukefest and a ton of assists. Not to mention all the fouls he’d stack considering how much offense can bulldoze today.

Not nearly a point center like Jokic but they ran many offenses through him and he distributed effectively. Shaq is 5th all-time assists by a center in the Play-offs and Jokic is 4th.

Shaq don't have nowhere near the feel for the game or BBIQ as Jokic. Shaq ain't no offensive hub. He's the ultimate offensive post scorer. He could pass and dish but he was tiers from Divac and Sabonis. Jokic is worlds better at it

Cousins NBA career ended too soon due to injuries so I understand his frustration but hell no he was no first Jokic lol

There were bigs capable of passing the ball at great levels several decades before this era. Arvydas Sabonis before injuries was a more athletic young Jokic version.



Look at 04:18, Jokic can't even do shyt like that.

And even before Sabonis there were bigs capable of passing the ball at elite level. Wilt was averaging like 7-8 assists per game in his MVP years.
