One of the craziest passes of all time. Only Jokic can do that
It's ironic that the tagline for the NBA's youtube channel is "never miss a moment" when they missed this moment.

Nuggets Warriors tonight! Murray already hurt is a bummer. No update on a timetable yet.
I'll be honest, I don't see the Warriors offense being able to keep up with the Nuggets. But let's see, I'd be glad to be proven wrong.

As you should!
I challenge anyone to find any another player in NBA history that was close to 26.6/12.5/8.5 (in only~34 MPG) for 258 games (2020-2021 to present, including playoffs) on 54/38/82 splits.....
Oh, also, 61.9% eFG% and 66.1% TS% (+8.8 rTS%).
Greatest offensive player in NBA history, quite arguably. Certainly, the greatest peak/prime.

He's a defensive liability tho,the nuggets were the 5th best offense his far from the best offensive player ever

Curry from 2015 to 2017 was probably better offensively

And I do think he's generally a decent defender, but it shouldn't be controversial to say that he's especially vulnerable to certain kinds of offense

I've been lucky to watch a few of the great offensive players live (KD, Steph of course, Jokic, Clippers CP3) and watching Joker was unlike anything I'd seen before

Kobe is the greatest offensive player in nba history, 81 points in the slowest paced era,multiple 40ppg in different months,outscored an nba team in one half by himself 62 points to 61,Kobe bean Bryant

He's playing it good enough to win the championship, that's what matters the most. We have so called a "great defender" in Embiid. Come to play off he's the liability on the both ends of the floor.

Kobe was a chucker, especially that season, where they were going nowhere. He was taking as many shots he wanted to and team record was the crap. Then Stern got him Pau and the rest of is the history.

They both kinda have that same weakness against deep pull up shooters - Embiid a far more effective rim deterrent I think but Jokic has great hands/feet/instincts that make him maybe a bit less vulnerable when pulled out of the paint.
