[QUOTE=StrongLurk;14705284]Posts like his are common for some reason. Just proves my point even more. Was someone like Barkley (top 20 player of all time in a lot of people's minds) ever as good as Jokic has been these last 2-3 years? I say no.[/QUOTE]
Only goes to show how much the league has vastly improved since the jurassic 90s days. What's more, it's an international player being significant like this. Something a bit rare in the past eras.
Make no mistake Barkley was a beast. He actually led the league in TS four straight years while averaging 25+ ppg. He was also one of the league leaders in rebounds.
He was a good playmaker too but not on Jokic level. He was also a freak athlete, nasty on the break and a bully inside

Thanks for the little known fact, none of us knew this.
Best passer ever
Best offensive big man ever
Making a case for his 3rd straight MVP (between him and KD right now)
Although I'd like to see him do more in the postseason

Honestly guys like Garnett and Barkley can't touch the Joker. This guy is reaching for the best big men of all time.

Yes he is heading for GOAT Center Status. Last 3 seasons, including playoffs: 190 games: 26.8/12.1/8.1 on .576 shooting. +7.4 relative true shooting. Insane volume with insane efficiency. Best passing center ever, and it's not even remotely close.
Last three seasons, he's been dominating the NBA like no other Center since Wilt Chamberlain.
Third 41/15/15 game in NBA History. Only Harden and Oscar did that.
The 40/27/10 game? Hasn't been done since Wilt himself, 3/18/68.
last night Richard Jefferson stated that with Jokic Denver is a top team in the west.
When he sits on the bench Denver is rated like 30th in offense.:banghead:

I posted similar stats earlier in this thread. Jokic is straight up the best offensive player in the league and by a decent margin.

:O
Bump
Yep...still underrated.
Jokic up to 25/12/10 on 63/40/82 splits...70.3 TS% :roll:
Best all around offensive player in the league.
He is likely about to become a three time mvp. This topic is like saying Warren Buffet is poor.
