    Just going off of eye-test/how unstoppable he felt, I’d say it was the greatest run since LeBron on the cavs. Booker was putting up peak MJ numbers, and yet Jokic was still dominating the game. And he did this every single game

    Honestly, the only argument against his run is that the competition was weak last year. I think a fully healthy Bucks team could’ve made for an interesting series, but we didn’t get that.
