Nikola Jokic vs Anthony Davis

[KingJay]

Jokic is much better in a vacuum. He actually can create offense not just for himself but for others too making everyone around him better. Is a leader too. Offesnively AD is just an elite finisher of a play. Not sure if he brings any intangibles/character traits either

AD has his perfect compliment in Bron tho

Jokic is not better than Anthony Davis.

Secondly, you have some of the worst basketball takes on this site, I'm not going back & forth with you.

like every other series we've ever seen...it will come down to who can impose their will and style of play.....

lebron is a master at that....we'll see how it plays out

 

[Consigliere]

AD is better than Joker. And guard and wing play will define this series.

Do the Lakers have an answer for Murray or is he going to torch them?

Look what AD did with Pelicans, just imagine what he'd do with Nuggets, y'all some fukking dumb fukks on here

AD wouldn't lead the Nuggets anywhere except the 8th seed, he can't control the game like Jokic

Hold the Phone...

Bron’s MVP push all year long was based on being middle aged, passing and being the straw that stirs the drink in spite of AD leading them in every statistical category except passing.

“Look at how they fall apart when Bron isn’t on the floor!!”
“Why isn’t AD more assertive in crunch time??”

So it was cool to diminish AD (rightfully so) in the name of another Bron MVP campaign but now I have to give Anthony the nod over the guy that didn’t abandon the franchise he did nothing for to be Bron’s lil homie?

AD is going platinum
Jokic running the label

What did ad do with the pelicans , boys just be saying shyt. Majority of the players on the nuggets wouldn't be shyt without jokic creating for them. The guy literally runs the offense because his pg don't have the skillset

 

[feelosofer]

Jokic has proven he can perform in the playoffs. This has not been the case with Anthony Davis.

 

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

LeBron and Kawhi are both two-way players though and Bron's playmaking separates them as an X-factor. AD and Jokic are different planets defensively, while Jokic is unique his passing doesn't erase being a defensive liability.

The context of the post you quoted has nothing to do with defense. Its why I keep saying "offensively" Jokic is above AD

In fairness, he was getting funky on Gobert and Zubac so I'm not sure length is the answer either. That's really a matter of what lineup they have out there and the foul situation with AD.

True but what AD has that those two lack is mobility to not completely fold when Jokic is at the 3 point line. Hell I feel like Zubaq made Joker work more than Gobert did. Jokic has definitely added more tricks to his bag since the stoppage in March because previous versions of Jokic aren't styling on Gobert the way he did in the 1st round

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Jokic isnt really on another level offensively. I'll just put it like this, AD has the highest recorded PER in the playoffs EVER right now. Jokic is obviously better at running an offense, but AD has been a monster on both ends.

??? No he don't. He's at 31.7 right now, #10 all time

Y'all really comparing the Pelicans to this Nuggets team?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Is that why you keep dappin my shyt?

 

[HabitualChiller]

This is pretty much the Dirk vs. Garnett dilemma. One player is otherworldly offensively, and just bad/mediocre defensively, and the other guy is great on both ends.

 

[Mordith]

I’m not a Pelicans fan at all but I live in Nola and I see first hand the bullshyt with AD here, dude is not a leader

I'm going to quote this after each game.
