How many years of Kareem would you take over '23 Jokic?

I think 1980 Kareem is an interesting comparison for Jokic. As good as ever on offense (though probably not as good as Jokic), while regressing on defense (but still being better than Joker).
Would you take 1980 Kareem over 2023 Jokic?

Every year of his prime I guess.

Unsure, and on that note lean no (would be happy to hear devils’ advocates). I have Jokic’s new apex slightly over West and Bryant’s respective peaks.. which led me to a conversations with a few friends about ranking Lakers seasons. I think 20 James and 80 Kareem would be comparable to the three I mentioned, but that’s as far as I am at the moment.
