Doesn’t phase me either way. I like Jokic. I just don’t think he’s anywhere near top 2. People are too caught up in the moment because like I said, Kareem and Duncan have stronger resumes and they’re not top 2
Jokic would have 5-6 rings if he played with Wade,Bosh,KD, Klay etc…

I didn't say today but on his current trajectory.
LMAO @ GOBERT.
HES AN OFFENSIVE LIABILITY
WHICH MEANS JOKER RESTS ON DEFENSE
EVERYTIME HE SEES HIM
People who actually watched Kareem didn’t have him top 2.. there was a 90’s SI magazine where they did a ranking and he was like #7.. they had Oscar (who for some reason fell of a cliff in these rankings), Wilt, Russell, and Magic over him

If jokic had a prime shaq to ride his coatails and a prime pau gasol he would win 7 straight championships

That’s not true… and the fact you referenced a magazine from the 90s shows you are misinformed
Okay...and so would Patrick Ewing, and David Robinson,..and Mark Eaton...and brad daughtery,....and I'm not even gonna talk about the luc longleys and Greg ostertags and Chris Dudley's and Charles smiths and others of the world.

You’re comparing players from a different defensive era.
This is Year 9. It's not that early.
Correct but I think he’s still on the front of his prime. Convo feels premature maybe it’s just me

You see it. The new “intelligent” more “nuanced” NBA media starts to play dumb whenever they wanna push a narrative. They like to revert back to old habits and disregard nuance and context when narrative are at play. KCP, AG, MPJ are all lengthy(pause) athletic defenders who can switch play their role offensively(slashers, shooters, off-ball). The pointing out of their lack of all-nba nods is being used to further an agenda. Smart NBA ppl know what it is, but are playing dumb. I’d love anyone of Jokic roleplayers in Miami under spo.
Denver's run won't last as long as people are assuming. They aren't even on a run yet technically. They still need to win this year. If they don't win this postseason there's no guarantee multiple titles are coming to them.
No player has been given till the sun setting on their career before their legacy is a discussion. If anything the front of the prime is when the conversation begins.
To be fair, Rudy Gobert is basically prime Dikembe in height, weight and style. David Robinson is the same height, weight and comparable athleticism to Giannis. DeAndre Ayton, same height and weight as Brad Daugherty. Brook Lopez, same height and weight as Greg Ostertag. Bam Adebayo, comparable height and weight as Alonzo.
I agree there are certain nuances to consider when comparing eras but at the same time, any of them on an island vs Jokic defensively likely ain't gonna end any better than it has for AD or Gobert or Ayton or Lopez or Bam.
