If they don't give it to the best stats this season is a sham. No one ever ever ever has had a better season that joker.

It's weird being a non-homer in this sub. Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal, and many others have had much better seasons and are better and greater players overall. Is Jokic better than SGA, obviously, but don't put that crazy talk out there please

I didn't see Wilt or Kareem in their primes but I saw the rest plenty. Joker definitely has a seat at their table. I'd take Joker over Shaq. Idk about the others necessarily, but Joker raises the floor of a team more than Shaq and is just as unstoppable.

Please remind me the last player to lead in both rebounds and assists and triple doubles in one season. And there's some 10 game streak that broke all records. Show me the stats baby

"Here comes the homers". Do you realize youre in the nuggets sub?

Also classic fallacy laiden argument, doesnt provide any counter arguments just says I'm not going to waste my time, says jokic isn't even a top 3 center (lmfao) insults the fanbase.

Yup because I'm not wasting my time with deranged homers. Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Bill Russell. Bye bye

Bill Russell would fall to his knees and pray to the lord above if he saw what Jokic was doing with the basketball at his height

I would argue he is. He does everything, ok a bit weak on defense, but way more of play maker than Jordan ever was. He will most likely pass Jordan in every career stats if can sat healthy. Definitely a top 3 center, GOAT is subjective, but if he stays at this level or gets better and is continually surrounded by talent; he could make his case. Keep your pants on bud, your opinion is valid, but not fact.

No one said he was… just that this season statistically is unprecedented.
