Considering he’s doing it in 2x or 3x less minutes, he’s already above them all
Alvan Adams was ahead of his time. Got to the finals as a rookie as one of the best players on his team averaging 19/9/5/1.5/1.5, I actually didn’t realize he was so good so quick. He had some other cool record but now I don’t actually remember what it was…
Anyway I watched some highlights and damn he actually really looked like Jokic on some of those plays. My NBA headcanon now involves Jokic hacking into the NBA video vault and watching a bunch of Adams’ games in order to figure out how to be a post-passing triple-double beast.
Big Honey is gonna play til he’s 35. Then ride into the country side with 4 titles and 6 mvps and an 8” vertical
The minutes per game just further emphasizes how Jokic’s play style can provide great career longevity. He plays fewer minutes at a slower pace than other superstars.
I guess the main question for him is how long he wants to play.
