Jokic needs to lose weight

[The4thHorseman]

Follow up - Jonas Valanciunas also looks fat!

Thought the same, but always thought Val looked thicker than Joker. Last night they both looked about the same size imo

Jokic is having the best start of his career. It's an offensive performance better than anyone has ever seen before.

He is leading the league in PER, WS/48, OBPM, DBPM, BPM, TS%, Rebounds and Assists. And that's despite Giannis and SGA both having exceptional starts as well. If Jokic kept this pace up, he would shatter all the all-time records in every advanced stat.

To that point, he's 28/14/12 per 36 minutes, with a 75% TS%. For comparison's sake, in Kareem's final MVP season of 79-80, when the league scoring average was only moderately lower than it is today, he was 23/10/4 on 64% TS%.

The scary thing is that he would be more effective if he played 30/25/20 years ago. I am actually surprised how great his conditioning is given that he isn’t a world class athlete like his fellow peers. Just seeing him play, it is like he is a grown man playing vs high schoolers.

That's one thing...fat or skinny the man never stops moving. He's got a motor and doesn't get nearly enough credit for it.

because he's very efficient wirh his movements and paces himself, in everything he does.

I'm curious what the people saying that "Jokic needs to lose weight" are proposing be done? If he can't fit in one seat on the team's chartered flights, do you charge him for an extra seat? When you're playing on the road, do you replace his daily food allowance (normally paid in cash) with a big box of vegetables? Do you replace all of his jerseys with ones that are a size or two smaller? Is shame the name of the game here? I'm just curious.

the gm needs to call him a fatty and trade his ass to la

[Peregrine01]

Both Jokic and Luka have the type of body that makes it easy for them to gain weight. Aside from the first few games, Jokic looks like he’s back in terrific shape.

I'd propose Jokic put the fork down...he's got to be aware of it. He just needs to do it.

There's no "body type" that gains weight. Odds are neither feels full easily. That's really all there is to it.

I would prefer Chicago. We'd be happy to trade Coby & Giddey for Jokic. Heck, we'd throw in a pick swap.

Take away his fork. Go ahead. In case you aren't aware, you don't eat Häagen-Dazs triple chocolate fudge cookie ice cream with a fork!

I'll be honest, I couldn't tell you the last time I had ice cream. But again nobody said anything about taking anything away. Jokic's gotta do the work.

So, now you've got an issue not just with Jokic (one of the greatest players in NBA history) but also with ice cream? Why are you trying to mess with everything that brings joy?

[mkot]

So far in the season he is 92% at the rim, 70% at 3-10 feet, 73% at 10-16 feet, 100% (3-3) at 16 feet to the 3pt line

10 game sample size against mostly bad teams, but still pretty insane.

Yeah, I'll get fat on beer and pizza thank you. Cold sugar...meh

And still not the favorite for mvp. It often feels like there’s a completely different standard for him vs everyone else.

[Uncle Mxy]

All this talk about the Most Valuable Porky is just making y'all look toolish. Joker's demonstrably forgotten more about what constitutes his own MVP-caliber conditioning than what we know.

"Porky?" That's not very nice. How about "metabolically challenged?"

But, but, but, he looks chubby, he has hobbies outside of basketball, he seems to prefer spending time with his family and horses over playing Basketball and he also doesn´t like to do media stuff. So he simply can´t be that good. Why can´t he be more like other NBA stars and gamble, constantly hang out in strip clubs, be involved in some night club brawl, or at least impregnate a few different women at the same time?

Don't forget to play video games and stream it while yelling questionable things.
