You keep bringing up record doesn’t matter to Jokic. Of course it matters for him too. Nobody is being unfair.

Giannis, you are the best player in the game. The MVP should be yours.

team records matter for everyone and that bs about Jokic's defense has been debunked time and time again.

I find these comments to be hillarious, Jokic has been far and away the best season thus far.
he's a 3 time (should have been 4) MVP who currently is averaging career high in PTS (4th in the league),AST (1st),Reb (1st), 3P% (1st)

caree highs in PTS, Rebs and Assists but sure a few team wins def trump that :banghead:

despite Murray playing badly, AG missing most of the season and the Nuggets starting Braun, Watson (at times) and giving meaningful mins to WB, Strawtether etc.

ofc wins matter, they matter less when ur having the best season ever haha

Huge MVP battle between AD and Jokic tonight.

I see what you did there, and it's even funnier considering who gave it the first And1:)

I had Jokic running away with it initially but with the Bucks storming back in the standings and the win streak primarily fueled by Giannis’ dominant 2-way play there’s no denying he’s right up there with Jokic.

Does anyone think that AD will be in the conversation at the end of the season?

Agreed Giannis has been insane so far as well

Wolfgang630 · Post #632 » by **Wolfgang630** » Sun Nov 24, 2024 5:47 am

We’re seeing the best player since 2013 Lebron.

Big Jokic night outplaying AD and getting the road win on a back to back.

Not even close, people tend to hype big market team players when they perform well in some matches.

AD isnt near the stratosphere of GIannis and Jokic, its not even funny.

Wolfgang630 · Post #635 » by **Wolfgang630** » Sun Nov 24, 2024 5:54 am

It’s pretty clear the separation between Jokic and Giannis and the “other guys”. SGA is a nice player. Tatum has been great.

See how easy i can do that as well.

Giannis is first in scoring, first in dunks, first in fast break points, first in point in paint

Giannis became first ever to have 30+ points on 60% FG and he is surpassing that again

The defense wasn't debunked ever, you literally saw him play terrible defense yesterday vs Dallas to the point that his coach took a timeout and cooked his ass as he w slosing the ball and rebounds against smaller players like PJ Whashington.

See, thats the difference, i watch the games i don't watch just stats, i use stats to back up what i see and not random crap like BPM that says Jokic is the best defender ever when he cant even move 3 feet from the rim.

We have been missing Middleton for almost a year and you have the audacity to bring me AG missing couple of games?

Infinite Llamas · Post #637 » by **Infinite Llamas** » Sun Nov 24, 2024 6:42 am

Last year there were Embiid fans and Luka fans and Giannis fans endlessly debating about how their guy was the best…but in the end, Jokic proved dominant to all of them and I don’t see anything really changing this year.

I see we are entering the Giannis period of the debate. I will say Giannis having a higher FG% than FT% is a nice throwback to the Shaqs and Ben Wallace’s of the world. Not something you really see all that often.

EmpireFalls · Post #638 » by **EmpireFalls** » Sun Nov 24, 2024 6:45 am

Didn’t watch tonight’s game but I find it hard to believe anyone could possibly be that far ahead of Giannis after tonight’s performance. What an absolute force of nature, just a monster. Jokic and him are the clear top 2 in the world - SGA just isn’t in that tier. Luka was last year but he’s not now.

B-easy · Post #639 » by **B-easy** » Sun Nov 24, 2024 7:04 am

MVP will probably be someone in the west. The east is trash. I think it will eventually be between SGA and Jokic.
