Sabonis threw some nice over the head passes to cutters out the post great passer sure but Jokic is doing it like no big man has ever done it

We also need to talk about Sabonis son passing :leon:

I mean Sabonis was old, washed up, and had two bad knees when he came to Portland.

We never got to see prime Sabonis...and all the people who did say the only basketball player they ever saw better than him was Jordan...

We can judge him based off what we saw and based off what we saw he isn’t on Jokic level as a passer

Internationally he averaged 2 assists for his career. In the NBA he averaged 2 assists. Jokic is giving you more than just some touch passes and over the heads and behind the backs out the post. That’s light work. :shaq2:

Let’s cut the shyt it shouldn’t be this hard to give young guys credit. Jokic is the best passing big man ever.

Also that cac wasn’t on Jordan’s level or at the level of any top 10 ball player they love overrating injured nikkas in NBA culture

I’m really confused by the NBA’s COVID policies.

The Celtics-Wizards game is supposed to happen tonight, even though Robert Williams just tested positive yesterday and the Wizards last game was against Philly who had a positive player on the court.

But then other players are being given mandatory quarantines for coming in close contact with someone who tested positive. I’m just confused on what exactly the criteria is.

It wasn't hard to think after the bubble that the NBA would be the best equipped to handle, turns out they'll run around with their head cut off for that dollar just like the others.

If they had learned anything at all from the first shutdown, Nets/Sixers would've been cancelled as soon as Curry came back positive with both teams mandatory quarantining in NY. Instead they finished the game and while Sixers are isolating in NY, BK is playing another game like they just weren't making contact with Sixers players sweat 24 hours ago. So now Grizzlies players will come into with them before coming into contact with the Cavs on Monday. This is the exact same thing that happened in March.

They're making it up as they go along clearly, even the "mandatory" quarantines aren't mandatory. They ruled KD had to sit 4 games but now if he continues to test negative he can come back on Sunday. I would think isolation time is science based so how can he come back early if you determined x amount of days is needed. And if it's all interpretation anyway, what was the point of sitting him in the first place if he never tested positive, yet you continue the game that a player in attendance tested positive for?

Oh you one of those people who thinks that 2 assist = not a good passer :unimpressed:

Having him dap your post is like having an unemployed person congratulate you on being a hard worker :unimpressed:

So the goat big man passer only averaged 2 dimes nikka please

U can talk all days about bu bu assists doesn’t measure passing skills but the simple matter is Jokic is generating a lot more offense and he’s finding openings no big man does he’s not monopolizing the ball and getting empty assists

Jokic is doing it all throwing ridiculous outlets, nutmegging defenders, running P&R’s as a 7-footer as ball handler, the best at the DHO, throwing overheads out the post it’s not close the creativity, flair and risk is unmatched

Again Sabonis a good back to the basket post passer that’s where his rep comes from and it ends there he’s nowhere near the Joker who is the best passing big man of All-Time by a wide margin and is a one man offensive anchor

Reminds me of my hospital. They make you stay home a week if you get exposed outside the hospital but if you seeing covid patients daily they expect you to work every day :mjlol:
