I obviously dont think Jokic is better than James all time but you realize Denver took out the Lakers in 5 right….clowning on Jokic and Denver when Denver has beaten the Lakers 12 out of the last 13 games lol?


You would get your ass beat by a pack of 6 teenagers jocks, if it was just you and your friend with a bunch of nerds helping you fight lmao

Lakers got jumped and only had LeBron & AD that can score or defend the Nuggets.

This Nuggets team is done!!



Lol poor James never has enough help….same ole sad story


Poor Jokic doesn't have enough help lmao

Dynasties are hard. Being the best player in the NBA is hard.

It's why LeBron ever being duplicated is laughable. LeBron did it for damn near 2 decades. Calm down with these player comparisons. Jokic was never close to being the GOAT.

They already putting pressure on Ant now. This is how this stuff works. Good luck but I don't see anyone touching LeBron/MJ status until I see it for a decade straight at least.


Jokic is about to win his 3rd MVP in 4 years.

Jokic is still in his 20s. Lebron only won 2 championships in his 20s.

Those 5 would have to be:

Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
Lebron
Curry

I could accept Jokic replacing Duncan, Kobe or Curry on that list but I'm also okay if he's left off.

I'm not going to debate this nonsense.

If he's your GOAT then by all means crown him.

I didn’t say that he’s my GOAT, I just think the hype for him is warranted.

The Nuggets beat 3 play in teams last year, and fanboys acted like he was Hakeem going through Ewing and Robinson to win the title. Two #8 seeds and one was an injured #8 seed in the Finals. He is a supremely talented bigman who is profiting off the lack of real big men in this small ball era. He would have been very good in the era of real big men, but he wouldnt stand out like he does now. Plus, I still dont think he is better than a healthy Giannis, I dont care what the analytics say.

Yeah you're entitled to your own opinion im just not putting a player with 1 championship in the GOAT debate.

Also have you been watching Jokic vs Minny? He's not even the best player on the court.

People were going overboard with the Jokic hype.

He's amazing. He's no LeBron James though. And that's okay.

They played this Wolves team but with no McDaniels or Reid, then Suns with Paul getting hurt and achilles tear Durant, then same Lakers they beat in 5 this year they swept them, then Heat. Not impressed, never was, said so before the playoffs and during the Lakers series, got killed. Was told they were a dynasty and that Jokic was the best player since Michael Jordan. I laughed.

Exactly. Steve Nash has two mvps but no one considers him in the goat conversation. Jokic has done nothing someone like Shaq, Kareem, or Hakeem, or wilt has done yet. ONe championship. Great. But it was easy. And he is playing against small teams.

That's honestly crazy. I had no idea. I just figured you would face a 50+ win team if you won a championship.

I saw a guy say that Jokic is already better then peak Lebron ......LMFAO I have nothing against jokic its his nuthugging fans who deserve him being exposed for what he is. an offense only great player...like 2016 curry or 2018 Harden

he is legit the worst defensive center in the playoffs. and he absolutely got outplayed by KAT and Naz Reid. he quit on his team today and his playoff resume looks extremely weak when you actually LOOK who they played last year. he got swept against the suns 3 years ago and gentleman beat down against warriors two years ago

don't ever put this guy in jordan or lebron in the same sentence
