Kick ball merchant Nikola Jokic is allowing 70 percent at the rim. Worst amongst Centers. Man ain't defending shyt

Mike didn’t hit 3s

Bron has no bag

Shaq couldn’t hit FTs

Kobe was a chucker

Magic had no J

Man we are in one miserable era of basketball fandom. Folk would rather harp on 1 weakness instead of appreciate generational greatness.

Also the Jokic hate is outdated. Once he got that chip all that ‘empty stat padding…advanced stats baby…they pushing him bc he a cac!’ went out the window. He’s stamped and you look like a casual saying otherwise
People overstate the MJ 3s weakness.

It wasn't a weakness just not a strength. You still couldn't leave him open at the 3 point line. He still made clutch 3's and his 3pt average wasn't terrible either
He shot 33% from three for his career. People generally consider 35-37% a good shooter. 40+ elite. 2% less than good in era where threes were mainly just taken at the end of the shot clock isn't bad. Just average.

And that all got criticized for it. fukk is you talking about?

Why do ya give this man passes that no one else gets.

Trash fandom. ‘We have to critique! :damn:

No logical fan gives a fukk about MJ not shooting 3s. Same for Bron not having ‘a bag’ after 50k points.

And if you want to use it to compare, Magic had no J, but Steph is a defensive liability. What we doin here. Who fukking cares.

Those granular critiques were valid if/when it held guys back from winning but once dudes get chips and reach legendary status nah you lost bruh. They got you . Your nitpicking is no longer valid you just sound corny

lol @ ‘a pass’. Uh, yea. Thats exactly what a chip is :gucci:

Way overstated, Jordan definitely would’ve worked on his 3 point shot more if he happened to be born into this era.

Over the last three games without Jokic, Denver's defense has ranked:

#22nd in defensive rating
#25th in giving up fast-break points
#27th in contested shots
#28th in giving up drives into the paint

Last of all, and most certainly the most telling of all -

#30th in giving up points in the paint.

Here Denver has gone over this recent stretch (without Jokic) giving up more points in the paint than any other team. Go figure.


Another L for @holidayc00ninn21 and TheColi, and their dumbass agenda that holds no weight in reality.

Over the last 5 games that Jokic has been absent, the Nuggets have ranked:

#25th in defensive rating
#29th in contested shots
#28th in giving up points in the paint
#27th in giving up drives into the paint
#24th in giving up fastbreak points

They've arguably been the worst defensive team over this recent stretch without Jokic.

Usual suspects will ignore this and will soon be back to pushing their dumbass agenda in blaming him for Denver's defensive woes.

Here's an even more alarming stat from the last five games he's been out -

#29th in giving up open scoring opportunities in the paint.

They're notably worse in allowing teams to score in the paint when Jokic isn't even playing. Marinate on that.

I normally don't deal in hypotheticals, but MJ literally has a historic 3pt clip against the Blazers all because Magic said he couldn't shoot 3s.:russ:
