Hot Take: Jokic is the most dominating center since Shaq

[Blaze500]

Dominant imo, his having no game plan to defend that player. Shaq was dominant, Joker isn't

no one can defend him..... he tore up Rudy Gilbert

his shot is unguardable and hardly ever misses

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

No doubt in my cerebrum do I doubt the hoop prowess of Nicola Jock-itch...



But I'd never put him over Shaqstein.

he didn't have a Kobe Bryant with him

That and it's disingenuous to not mention that the league isn't the same.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Can’t even keep Robin Lopez and Alex Len off the glass

We have to let the season and playoffs fully play out to have an honest assessment.

Dwight was a defensive marvel extremely gifted athletically. He was also extremely limited and didn’t command the respect from his teammates or organization...in his prime

Dwight's led a team to the Finals. Why are Jokic or Embiid above him?

Young Arvydas

This!!!

He's a young Arvydas Sabonis when he was playing overseas and still could move well.

I can see a little Patrick Ewing in him too.

chauncey Billups lead a team to a ring. Who would you prefer? Him or cp3? Him or Nash?

some of you guys are insecure when it comes to race....not all, but alot of you get insecure when white basketball players are successful its like you view it as an attack on "black athleticism", don't worry, african americans are still the most premier athletes in the world

In the same vein too many folks white and black alike have a sick need to crown any really good white boy as the second coming for some reason

 

[SlurRty]

Shaq was also considered a great passer at the time

average at best.. it's easy to be considered a great passer when you're doubled in the paint in that era.. jokic is a way better passer honestly

Dumb take. Dwight was a multi year MVP candidate. Was a multi year DPOY, was the leading scorer and sole defensive asset (not just anchor) on those Magic teams with players that were 3yrs away from being out the league altogether sans Jameer. Don’t compare Dwight to Billups.
