Let us know when Jokic makes just one All-Defense team, let alone 4x 1st team like Giannis AND wins DPOY (while also winning MVP).


aesthetics really make certain players seem significantly better than others. I mean there were many fans who were convinced that Kobe was more valuable than Shaq during their primes. this is based almost entirely on the fact that it is more pleasing to watch Kobe hit a pump fake jab step fade away mid-range shot than it is to watch Shaq bulldoze his way to the rim.

Well....there's nothing aesthetically pleasing about watching Jokic lol

Guy is built like a chicken nugget and runs like he's playing in flip flops.

Giannis plays center better than Jokic does let's be honest

How do you have a center that can't defend the rim? I guess when you play a #8, #7, #4, and #8 seed to win a championship it doesn't matter.

Oh, so it's either gobble his dick and act like he's perfect or be labeled a hater?

You guys crack me up. Can't be critical of someone without being called a hater, or say something good about someone without being called a homer.

Jokic is a piss poor paint defender, this is well known. He routinely gets attacked and exploited at the rim. Still a great player, and certainly makes up for it on the offensive end, but none the less he isn't anchoring a defense.
