He's still the best player in the league. He absolutely deserves some criticism for some miscues these playoffs, but the stats weigh out. Now if the Wolves upset them, the narrative will divert streams and hear lots more chatter about undeserved MVPs.

He's my favorite player in the league to watch, and I hope he puts up some absurdly massive game here this post-season just to solidify his claim as an all-time talent.


Well that didn't take long, big guy!

Jokic is a guy that needs a superstar like Murray to make his game work. He can't take over without that second punch on the perimeter the way other ATGs could. Now that Murray has been exposed, so has Jokic. What's funny is that those really watching told you this year's ago when he only got the sixth seed without him.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him. Last year he took advantage of an injured field, and a weakened conference in a transition year. He had Murray playing like a superstar and to his credit got it done. But his awards don't match his greatness and in a few years everyone will come around to what I'm saying here right now.

100% agree, but social media will hate this take. Hold down the fort, because this is clear as day.

Embiid can't even carry Joker's jock when it matters. And it eats you alive every single night.

How can one be so wrong and actually believe it? I can't even laugh at that.. it's just sad. Your analytical skills, or lack thereof, are horrendously bad.

There is no coming back from this one. Hell, I'd be ashamed of myself if I were you.

Yikes.

I'm OP and I can't deny Jokic looking like the best player right now. If he wins the ring this year I'll admit hes an ATG and the best player in the world. Still a series and a half left though

Jokic doing his best to prove me wrong, but there is still a series and a half left. If my take and Jokics response was a series it'd be 2-2.

That's what worries me. You actually think he hasn't already proven you wrong.

You're literally using his STRENGTHS to state your supposed case against his greatness, namely competitive fire and toughness. To make things even more absurd, you then move on to claim he's inferior to Embiid, a player who's proved time and again that toughness isn't his strong suit.

Every single paragraph of your post is littered with inane arguments that make absolutely no sense. It didn't back when you posted it and it doesn't now.

Please read your posts prior to posting. Try to understand where you went wrong so it doesn't repeat itself.

You said Luka and Embiid were better than him. Luka missed the play in tournament last year, Embiid still hasn’t made the conference finals, and Jokic won it all last year, becoming the first player to lead the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists.

You were proven wrong before you ever created this thread.

Luka missed the play in tournament last year, Embiid still hasn’t made the conference finals, and Jokic won it all last year, becoming the first player to lead the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists. That’s like one of four records Jokic broke last year as he went 16-4 in the playoffs.
