Dwight gave him some trouble back in the day, then Embiid and now this.
He's an ATG talent either way.

You give me so much attention to be a troll. It's why I know we have a lot in common. I wouldn't pay attention to a nobody. You clearly have interest in what I post.
Chess not Checkers.
Imagine private messaging someone pretending to be a member of the jokic family. Just to troll like you did in the past.

Oh look the troll has nothing to say about it does he. Lol

Its incredibly hard to win a title and your window is short. Toss in the fact the NBA is loaded with talented young players we might not see a team rattle of two or three titles in a row for a bit.

I am taking shots at Jokic’s heart this series. Look I think Jokic is the best player in the league and when he fails to live up to it I have no problem calling him out. I knew others would pile on; some rightfully so. Others who have different agendas will expose themselves.

Would either of you disagree that he never had to show heart last year, because all of his opponents were weak and outmatched (which was glaringly obvious)?
It's not crazy to take shots at him for this. What's crazy was elevating him to being "the best basketball player we've ever seen," based on last year beating a bunch of fodder. I know the names from the rosters, but none of those teams were any good. He's a great player, but with all that's been said about him, the eye test is really exposing it to be fraudulent when youre putting him in the company of all time great players. He's got way to many flaws to sniff that discussion, MVP awards be damned. Nobody cares about the regular season when comparing guys on that level. Along those lines, I've seen Embiids MVP last year ripped all season long because his team lost in the second round. Will it be fair to rip Jokics MVP this year as a joke if he loses in the second round?

When did I call Jokic the goat?? Also Jokic was ripped last year because of lack of titles. It is one of reasons he lost the mvp award last year. He will get criticized as I am doing now for his play in this series

I'm not sure when you called him the GOAT. I am sure there have been numerous threads in which people have favorably compared him to peak Lebron/MJ/Shaq. It's been a prevalent theme on this board as whole for past year, by people with recency bias, a penchant to post advanced stats, and no eye test. All because he and Denver beat a bunch of trash in a fluky playoffs. I won't name specific names, but those takes are looking really bad.

However, he's definitely gassed. And so are the rest of the starters (except Michael Porter Jr.). The only teams that tend to even make the finals back to back years out of the West are superteams (or potential dynasties). Them losing in the 2nd round isn't the worst thing in the world. They'll still be contenders next season. Just won't be prohibitive favorites.
The new CBA is going to make it harder on everyone. Kudos to Minnesota for feeling like there was a shot to win a chip and going for it. Meanwhile you have Morey deciding to punt on a season with a former MVP and wait 'til the offseason to make moves.

When I called him the goat? I didn’t so quit lying.

When did I say YOU did? Stop deflecting. You know as well as I do how prevelant that idea has been on this board since his title. You also have been a main supporter of his in many of those threads. It's kind of funny that you start threads ripping him the second he faces adversity considering how much you've propped him up, and disparaged posters like me who questioned how great he really was based on the weak path he faced last year and the eye test.
