Jokic over Lebron/Curry/Durant is a stretch considering playoff performances. Also surprised not to see Jamal Murray
Really? Jokic has been nothing short of excellent in his two trips to the playoffs. His past two years of playoff performances haven't been that different from those guys you've listed (save LeBron, but he wasn't in the playoffs two years ago, so it's harder to compare).
Plus Jokic is just coming into his prime and looks better than he did in previous seasons while LeBron looks excellent, but maybe slowing down just a bit.
Now would I take Jokic over a healthy LeBron in a playoff series...probably not. But at this point I also wouldn't be shocked to see Jokic outplay LeBron in a matchup. He's been that good this year.
I'm not sure what possible playoff questions one has with jokic.
Over 33 playoff games.

He's won 3 playoff series in 2 years and this is despite coming off Covid last year.
