Isiah? May not have been the best player but was the team's focal point.

Hopefully we're past the point where people feel the need to belittle or undersell Jokic's teammates just to prop him up - he clearly doesn't need any of that to make his case as an all-timer

Jokic breakthrough year has him avoid the last 3 PGs that eliminated him(Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, Stephen Curry). Gobert is going through a run where he doesn't have to face those guys either and his playoff narrative might shift because of it

LeBron is old, Gilgeous-Alexander and Doncic are really wings and thus slower, Mitchell, Irving, Murray, Booker and Edwards are SGs, there really isn't a lot of dynamic athletic Hall of Famer decision making on the basketball court these playoffs.
