[1993Playoffs]

25.1 PPG

83 FT%

On insane efficiency

[Frank Dux]

You almost have to laugh at how absurd his averages are.

[The High Cyde]

Only way he wins a third MVP in a row is if he averages a triple double on insane efficiency…is what a lot of people said about Jokic after he won his second MVP last season lol just insane.

Appreciate greatness while it's happening. Hopefully he gets his elusive ring very soon

[Harry Garris]

I think it's fair to expect Jokic to keep up this level of play and production in the playoffs, regardless of what team the Nuggets match up with. You just gotta hope that Murray, Gordon, MPJ, and the rest of the gang actually stay healthy and play well and give the Nuggets a chance to make a deep run this year.

Is this a isolated occurrence like Steph 2016 or is this who Jokic is as a player?

“No way...this is BS....This looks the MonSTARS took the DNA of CP3, WestBrook and Wilt and created Jokic in a lab”

If he won the MVP once I would say it but dude evolving and getting better...so this has to be who he is ...he keeps doing it - better

While on the #1 team in the West. I know that Philly game left a bad taste for Jokic supporters (myself included) but he's been spectacular this season.

[Sharkboy242]

Jokic is 6th all time in TS% percentage right now. If you look at the 5 that have been better, they're all on less than 18PPG. Some as low as 13PPG; e.g. dude's that only get their points in the paint.

Nah definitely not isolated. He’s having he greatest offensive 3 season stretch in the history of the league.

Potentially the greatest 3 year stretch of anyone too.

But yeah like Curry 2016 at the moment he deserves a unanimous mvp as his 3rd in a row.

IMO Wesbtrook was more impressive. Much more inefficient, but for guard to average that, and 31 ppg. He was also hitting more 3s and averaged more assists. True carry job.

Westbrook USG% in 2017: 41.7

Jokic USG% in 2023: 27.6


Westbrook absolutely dominated the ball for OKC in 2017 vs Jokic this season for Denver and literally had the highest USG% of ALL TIME. By comparison, Jokic's USG% this season doesnt even crack the top 250 individual seasons ever. The numbers Jokic is putting up on that USG% are absurd and way more impressive than the guy dribbling the air out of the ball whose teammates purposely allow him to inflate his rebound numbers. Then you factor in his absurd efficiency and its not even close. What Jokic is doing while leading his team to the #1 seed on incredible efficiency is downright mind-boggling.

[pr0wler]

This is way more impressive than Westbrook's gimmicky, manufactured triple doubles which lead to nothing more than a stomping in the postseason.

No it wasn't for a simple reason. Everybody (mainly Adams) were letting him get defensive rebounds.
He wasn't guarding his man toward the end of a possession because he was going for the rebound.
Which wasn't difficult to get since everybody were boxing out just for him.
Westbrook singlehandedly destroyed the joy of watching a triple double. Ever since nobody is impressed. And the reason for this is the way he was getting them.

[jordanwilliams6]

Jokic is easily the MVP this season when you include the Nuggets record into consideration.

3-4 without him and 32-12 with him.

Westbrook's team is worse than Jokic's right now. Not much he can do with that team. He doesn't have teammates that have the capability of dropping 50 points twice in a playoff series. No one is arguing the efficiency. It's not a contest. As I said, Westbrook's was a true carry job in every sense of the word. When you do that you're bound to be inefficient, especially at his size. And the stat padding really only happened the last week or so from my recollection. You seriously saying it's not impressive for a 6-4 guard to average 10 rebounds a game.

We all know Jokic is the efficiency king. That's his calling card. Westbrook did it first since Oscar, and it hadn't been done in years. The entire basketball world was in awe of him when he was doing it. No need to marginialize his accomplishments, because we now live in the age of advanced stats. Plenty of great players, had more mediocre advanced stats. Are we now going to go back in history and compare all of them, because Jokic is doing what he's doing?

You can have all the advanced stats in the world, but the dude was locked down by PJ tucker, and didn't seem to really have that killer instinct in the recent game against the Sixers.

Unlike the stomping that Jokic's hyperefficient MVP got last post season right?

Oh wait...

You can't hold yourself, do you?
You don't like him, you'll never acknowledge his quality, so why bother commenting lol
Everybody know that you won't say something positive.

[Pelon chingon]

Impressive. Just shows stats alone is a very poor well to assess something without context when you compare Westbrook's performance.
