Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.
10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.
He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.
Jokic can thread the needle, but what makes him special is his ability to anticipate cuts, process how the defense reacts, and then throw a dime all in a split second. He also controls the tempo of the offense masterfully, a true maestro on offense akin to the #10 on a soccer field.
Posts like this make me realize he’s still underrated
Get this man a drug test asap

No there aren’t. Especially not while averaging a hyper-efficient 25 ppg.
Yeah, only one or two players a year manage 10 assists per game.
Also, he’s a fucking center, lol.
even if he was right, he’s comparing them to a Center…that helps Jokic.
I think he’s mainly talking about assist in reference to usage… not scoring, not anything out of the context of his post. Harden has averaged 10 assist per game the last 5 years for example.
To be fair, with his impact, I see no problem in ignoring 4 turnovers per game
Also, turnovers from a ball-dominant guard and from a player in the post are different. They’re still turnovers, of course, but they’re from different parts of the game and don’t happen the same way.
The best playmakers also average a lot of turnovers. Trae, Giannis, Doncic, Westbrook. But point aside, you still have time to delete this idiocy. Unless you’re just that Bucks flair Jokic hater lol
my guy really tried to sneak Giannis in there
Giannis is not one of the best playmakers.
Nope
10apg is nothing crazy?
Are you high?
Watch him play. A whole season. You’ll see he’s a conductor on the court. He points at where people should be and go to make the perfect pass. Positions his teammates for the open cuts and oops as well.
Really, watch his past few seasons… He’s a fucking basketball genius.
I don’t think Jokic’s passing has ever been about ‘flash’, not ever a little bit. It’s about manipulating the defense so that if the pass is completed it generates an easy bucket for his teammates.
There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that
Except Jokic is doing that as a center
Kendrick Perkins is that you? Stop it.
OP, to see this sub unite against you brings me great joy
Holy shit lmaooooo
