Best players 1999-now (Lebron and soon to be Jokic).

[StrongLurk]

Based on MVPs/FMVPS (must have at least one of each).

Tier 1: Lebron (8)
Tier 2: Duncan (5)
Tier 3: Shaq (4)
Tier 4: Kobe (3), Curry (3), Durant (3), Giannis (3), Jokic (3).
Tier 5: Dirk (2)

Hopefully this helps put Jokic in some perspective. Dude is 29 years old and has a great chance of leaping to tier 2 with Duncan if he wins MVP/FMVP this year. Keep in mind Jokic is legit at the top of all-time career advanced stats (ahead of Lebron/MJ).

(Regular season) - Among superstar/1st options, Jokic is number 1 all time in PER, number 1 in True Shooting %, number 1 in Offensive Rating, number 1 in Win Share/48, and number 1 in Box Score Plus-Minus.

(Playoffs)- Among superstar/1st options, Jokic is number 1 all time in PER, number 4 in TS%, number 1 in Offensive Rating, number 3 in Win Share/48, and number 2 in Box Score Plus-Minus.

If you need to know how other people voted to figure out who’s the best, youre doing it wrong.

Theres nothing “soon to be” about Jokic

He is already one of the best ever, easily. Even if they get reverse swept by the Lakers (assuming he still plays at his usual elite standard).
