I thought he played "ugly" and he did, but perhaps this why he's an all-time great:

Aaron Gordon had a terrific game. Nuggets lose this one without his 9/14 and 3 3-pointers.

Triple double for Jokic and they still only win by 2. Pathetic. Lakers in 9

I doubt Jordan could do what Lebron did this season at 38 after 20 years in the league.


that means you aren't old enough to have watched MJ play. just reruns, right?

we'll never know how MJ would have fared in such ages had he not retired, changed his body and generally had about 5% of LBJ's professionlism and body maintentance at those ages

LBJ is incredible regardless and he was incredible tonight, but MJ is still easily better and always has been


MJ was a better scorer, more skilled and a better defender, but Lebron passes and rebounds better. MJ is overall slightly better, but the longevity, professionalism and dedication of Lebron should count for something.


you're moving the goalposts now
you said that you doubt Jordan could do at 38 what LBJ did this season and all it tells us is that you aren't old enough to have seen MJ in his day

yeah, he took a completely different career trajectory after the first retirement, but he could have absoultely do what LBJ did at 38, had he gone that route

longevity its longevity, it's super impressive and it def counts for something
for alot of things...like the playoff scoring record and the overall scoring record, and other amazing milestones, def top 3 material but sadly for him - not Goat material

edit: longevity isn't just about the physical aspects it's impressive mentally as well
kinda hard to stay that motivated when you're a billionaire and have been doing this for so long. that's hella impressive and I doubt we'll see it again anytime soon

maybe in a generation or two

Not surprising, this is how ESPN chose to post about this game.

I love it! A whole network and thousands of employees, all SO SAD!

I bet they want a refund on that 1.5 bill

If the Heat win, I'm honestly going to be so conflicted on who to root for. Jimmy and Jokic are amazing. May honestly have to flip a coin on who to root for

It’s posters like you that ruin this board, consistently subtracting value

You wouldnt know what value is if it hit you in the head with one of Lefrogs' late game bricks.


That’s the lamest comeback I’ve ever heard, you sound 12 years old

Does anyone know what Jokic's "VORP" was for the Sixers fans?

I never got the comparison. It was always clear to me that Jokic was at least a half tier if not a tier ahead of Embiid overall.
