32-10-15 from the MVP. Monster performance with 0 turnovers. 1 steal and 1 block as well in the blowout victory.

    I really want someone to get a 20/20/20 score line. If anyone could, it would be Jokic. Or maybe Giannis. But Jokic has a much higher chance.

      If he plays 40+ minutes and the Nuggets have a good shooting night its very possible.

      The passes are there, just need players to make their open shots.

    Can we stop calling Giannis or KD the best player in the world now after a quarter of a season?

    Jokic has been the best player in the world for 2 years. Back to back mvp, finals MVP, and he looks as good as ever.

    There’s no one on the planet in his tier right now

      Giannis at no point in time was ever the best player in the world. I’ve never seen a great player crumble on offense when it becomes a half court game and the refs don’t coddle him.

        Ehhhh, I’d still argue giannis for 2021 just do to that playoff run alone, but 22 onwards is definitely joker

        Yup

        He wasn’t a worse player before 2023 just because he had Will Barton as his 2nd option lol

      As a huge KD fan, I completely agree.

      Jokic is and has been on a planet of his own for the last 2 years.

      People don’t wanna talk about it but his offensive peak is better than KD/Curry and Lebron. The impact is insane.

        Idk if I’m ready to call his offensive peak better than Lebrons.

        KD’s? Absolutely. Curry? Most likely. LeBron? Possibly.

        But these ultra effecient 30 point triple doubles have become more common than they were with LeBron.

      KD was never the best player in the world, that went straight from LeBron to Giannis and then straight to Jokic after that.

      Jokic has been the best player I’ve seen since prime apex LeBron. I think he’s a clear tier above Giannis, Embiid, Curry, or KD.

    Man the Nuggets floor is already very high with just Jokic on the floor, but the moment you add Murray and the two man game, it reaches a whole another level.

    They just look like a machine that runs by itself without any work and input required from the user. Perfection on the court.

    When fully healthy, Nuggets are KD warriors tier imo. Not because they are that unfair as a team, but because they play upto that level.

    This guy is in a league of his own. He’s the best player in the world without argument. He looks like fucking Godzilla out there, just a slow but absolutely unstoppable force of nature.

      With the way Joker is playing it might actually go different direction to as-cold-as-ice.

      And that’s completely insane with how many players are having great seasons.

      Battle for #2 doesn’t sell as much i guess.

    As a fantasy basketball player watching the same guy get Jokic 2 years in a row is fucking bullshit, shits so unfair.

        I don’t know, but it shouldn’t be. Steals are way more valuable than blocks. It makes more sense to have poissists.
