Ant has world-class social intelligence. Only faux pas I've seen him make was when he said queer on Instagram.
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.

He's not wrong. Jokic has picked us apart last 3 games. Even when he was "Not him" he was still playing well

Yeah time for me to go to bed. The suckfest has begun. Nothing like a real GM Jokic takeover.
I'm out peace!

Jokic will be top 5 mount rushmore when it’s all said and done. He already better than Hakeem and Shaq. He’s entering MJ/LeBron territory for GOAT debate.

It's been the case for the last four years in a row and it hasn't been particularly close.

Lets admit it guys, we haven't seen anything like jokic before, and we don't fully understand what we're seeing because we haven't seen it before. It's just a different kind of basketball.

What about when he threw a chair that hit two women after a game? Or when he bribed some chick to get an abortion after knocking her up a month after getting married to his main chick?
He’s a phenomenal player and he’s probably on track to be an All Time great by the time he’s in his prime….but not sure “world-class social intelligence” is what I’d associate him with…because if that’s actually true, then the “world” you speak of is in trouble. Deep trouble.

I don’t go GB frequently but this is probably one of the best takes I’ve ever read. Big so doesn’t have the wow of Jordan/Kobe and somehow Olajuwon/Duncan, while similarities, doesn’t fit as there’s the playmaking and outside shooting that makes it different.

Both Ant and Finch have basically said nothing can be done to stop him. They still have 1-2 games left to go. I can't believe what they are saying lol jokic is special man.

How many players in NBA history have been the best passer and scorer at the same time?

If he did whatever he wanted to AD, and now KAT and DPOY Gobert..I don’t see what any of the remaining teams are possibly going to do.
Boston has toothpick Porzingis to throw at him..it’s over boys.

Goodnight!
Anyways back on topic. Anyone who can't see Jokic is the best player in the NBA is just being ignorant, or just doesn't watch games.

Re: Ant: Jokic's the best player in the NBA
For the youngsters --
Game 5 Jokic IMO was like the best version of Bird if you never saw him play in real time.
Not quite the same play style but dominance in scoring, passing and rebounding (although Jokic was modest in that category tonight) with some ballhandling mixed in.
Jokic was totally unstoppable tonight and there was just an ease and inevitability to it all.
That's how it felt watching the best version of Bird, particularly as an opponent (against your team). Dread.
He really reminded me of Bird tonight by completely taking over the game and doing whatever he wanted, and doing it in a variety of ways (scoring, passing, etc).
