Were Mutumbo and Mourning great offensive players?
Gobert/KAT/Reid is a solid big man combination. Jokic also went through AD and Bam last year. Shaq won a finals MVP over Todd MacCulloch. If we want to diminish accomplishments we can say that Hakeem won while Jordan was playing baseball. We can say that Shaq only won in 2002 because of the refs in game 6 against the Kings. We can say that Kareem won 1 championship without Magic.
Great players would be great in any era. It doesn’t matter if it’s Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq, or Jokic.
I think you guys are missing my point. Jokic would actually have to defend the great offensive big men of that day. The way Hakeem and Duncan went at eachother, the way Shaq and Hakeem went at eachother, the way Ewing and Hakeem went at eachother…on both ends. These players were dealing with two way players…not Rudy Gobert
Anthony Davis isn't exactly a chump offensively. Prime for Prime I hate to say it but he's more versatile than Ewing on offense though I still view Ewing better overall.
