Jokic is the best player in the league. Giannis and KD are right there, but its Jokic for sure.
Jokic was ok in the Suns series. Nothing close to what would make me think he was at the level that we have seen from LeBron/Giannis/KD/Steph/Kawhi.
Jokic is not even close to the best player in the league. In fact hes not even in the top 5.
You just want to pretend like its him because I'm a Nets fan so therefore my opinion is invalid
In order for someone to become the "best player in the league" they have to prove they can do it at the highest level.
I would easily take KD, Giannis, LeBron, Steph, Kawhi over Jokic. Guys who have proven they can elevate a team to a Championship level in the playoffs.
Not having a nice regular season or two.
Jokics been one of the best playoff performers ever so far.

Jokic is not even in the conversation for the best player in the league until he does something in the playoffs.
Getting swept by the Suns doesn't qualify.
In all honesty this isnt a very smart comment. I get it, you are Nets fan and KD is your guy but please be better. No man can win on his own. Nuggets were the only ones contesting the lakers' title, and they could have done it if not for the shady officiating. Jokic has shown enough in the post season.

Harden is one of the most elite shot placers in the game. His passes are not good good but well placed for shooters.

Durant nearly beat a fully healthy championship team last year alone. That is a fact.

Watch a game instead stating your non-sense with "believe it or not" like you know something.
Harden assists on 2.6 out of Durants 11.2 made field goals.
52% of his FGs are un-assisted, which is tied for highest in his career with 2013/14 season (guess which year he won MVP).
Durant is killing it, has nothing to do with Harden.

Kawhi and LeBron are still better.
You guys seem to have short term memory loss. Just because a player has one good regular season doesn't make them the best player.
LeBron won a Finals MVP and outplayed Jokic just last year. Did Jokic even look close to as good as LeBron in that series?

When it mattered Jokic destroyed Kawhi. And lol at one good season, Jokic was #4 in MVP voting back in 2018-19, he's one of the top players for several years now, your fault if you were living under the rock.

He is the best scorer and has argument for the best player with Jokic Curry and Giannis. Its far away from clearly....

GIannis is one of the most offensively limited "superstars" ever.....so I'd never want him in my 2k team if I had to choose a superstar.
I also wouldn't want Durant in my 2k team, but for the opposite reason.....Durant is too good for video games.
I'd get more pleasure from the challenge of defending Durant than scoring with him.
And I put the "all-time" rosters into a draft pool, and Durant is still too good, so I play with Michael Jordan instead....

One of the best play performers "ever" that hasn't made it past the Conference Finals?
His stats from the Suns series are not even better than his regular season stats.
What has Jokic done in the playoffs to make him even better than James Harden?

Jokic playoffs averages: 26.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 6.4 assist
wtf is he going to do when he's playing in 'an important series' as you put it, average way less? This guy lmao.
