It's mostly because Jokic has conditioned people to think, "Top three in scoring, rebounding, and assists? Nah... Oh, and fourth in steals, too? Nah... Oh, and second best from three? Uhh... nah..."
If we didn't have the context of previous Jokic seasons, I think we'd understand that what he's doing is more special, more worth commemorating, and yes, more valuable than what SGA is doing, but as I said like a month ago, "If it's close, SGA will win by a ton." That's where we are right now.
All of that said, I would actually vote for SGA today, but this is probably the first day of the entire season I would say that, so I'm assuming things will "return to the mean," so to speak, for me before long.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.
