Should Nikola Jokic’s 2023 playoffs run be talked about as one of the individual all time great run?

Nikola Jokic averaged 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 20 games in the 2023 playoffs. He won his first Finals MVP award and his first NBA championship.

First time in history that a player has less the playoffs in points, rebounds and assists.

Individually, he played the best defenders at his position in Gobert, Davis and Bam.

    You can’t control who you play, and the Nuggets were undoubtedly the best team last year. However, I fear Jokic and team will suffer from lack of historic matchups. There’s nobody they faced that should have beaten them, nor did they face any “super teams”. Should it be considered an all time great performance? Maybe. Do I think it will be? Probably not.
