Jokic giving the business to Gobert this series has vibes of Dream v Robinson back in the day

Jokic by far one of the most overrated players ever.

I showed this thread to Jokic before game 3 to fire him up.

Thank you, OP. Stay hating.

I think we can lock this thread.

Jokic is having one of the best games of all time right now, the man is completely unstoppable, is running the floor like a point guard and getting the ball to anyone he wants wide open, this is a few missed open threes from being a complete blowout.

Not to mention dominating defensively.

Very true, the ones at the bottom tier of this list. All in all their are probably 30 bigs that played in the 90s that would be high level C’s in the 2020s


Which means about 10 would be high level in any given season. And that...that isn't insane.


94/95

Robinson
Shaq
Ewing
Malone
Hakeem (All top five in MVP voting, at this point in this years list you’d be naming a one dimensional player like Gobert)
Rodman
Kemp
Willis
Horace Grant
Vin Baker
Dale Davis
Mourning
Mutombo
Rick Smits
Chris Webber
Anthony Mason
Cliff Robinson

That’s 17 give or take, not withstanding honorable mentions. This is one year, spanning from 1990 to 2000 and I think we can easily find another 13 that would be high level bigs

What is your definition of high level? Without checking how they played that year, that's 17 guys 100% I think would play in the NBA today with one question (rodman who I'm a huge fan of...but his offense was sooooooo bad). But that isn't worth us debating, but I can't respond without some idea of what high level is. Like for sure those 17 guys don't start in 2024.

Btw the 6th seed Nuggets had a plethora of injuries, he definitely deserved that MVP. If it wasn't for Perkins' stupid rant it would be 4 in a row, though he ended up with better hardware in the last season.

It astounds me how people can have these thoughts two games into a series about someone who has been the consistent best player in the league for the past +/- 5 years. You deserve all the mockery you get.

UglyBugBall wrote:I've been saying this since his first mvp. He's an incredible system player, but he lacks competitive fire and toughness to be an ATG player. His MVP as a 6 seed will be locked at as THE worst mvp season in history. It'll make the Rose and Nash wins seem unanimous.

Jokic is a guy that needs a superstar like Murray to make his game work. He can't take over without that second punch on the perimeter the way other ATGs could. Now that Murray has been exposed, so has Jokic. What's funny is that those really watching told you this year's ago when he only got the sixth seed without him.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him. Last year he took advantage of an injured field, and a weakened conference in a transition year. He had Murray playing like a superstar and to his credit got it done. But his awards don't match his greatness and in a few years everyone will come around to what I'm saying here right now.


Where did you go? Talking big about the biggest playoff loser for a superstar ever in Joe L Embiid and Luka who has been trash these playoffs?
