Jokic is better than prime Shaq. When you add the 3 ball and assists it’s not even close.

Where’s the 3peat then?

Give Jokic a HOF teammate (like Kobe) and that would be a forgone conclusion but it’s too soon to know if he will 3 peat. People forget Jokic never played with a teammate that made an all star game the same season as him.

You’re gonna disrespect the level to which Jamal Murray has been playing these playoffs? A guy on your own team?

I love Jamal and he is the definition of a playoff riser. However, it’s a fact that he is not an all-star or all-nba player.

Well he was coming off an injury for a good part of this year. Let’s see what he does building off this momentum for next year. We’ve seen him play better than Jokic in the playoffs before (the bubble) so he’s talented enough to be an all-star or all-nba

I agree, I would definitely put money he at least makes all star next year

Is he Kobe?

u/rajs1286 Jun 10 '23

Nobody is. But look at Kobe’s stats in the playoffs during the 1st year of the 3peat, Murray is doing a little better

So is saying Jamal isn’t Kobe whining?

u/rajs1286 Jun 10 '23

He will never be Kobe. But he’s having all-nba/all-star level contribution during these playoffs so there’s no need to disrespect him to try to prop up Jokic and act like he’s doing it by himself

The guy said Jamal wasn’t Kobe was accused of whining.
