@PranavSriraman I mean those years just happened to be when he was best physically not really much he can do about it. That's his late 20s

Nuggets only window to win titles was during one of the worst stretches the league has seen post merger despite having GOAT Jokic?
year 23@johnrivers131
Nuggets window to win titles was 2021-2024 yall knew that and the bucks window to win a titles was 2019-2021. Both franchises did the job
English
@jakealbright711 @DOC323123 It's not hypothetical it's their run last year
English
@FATBOYJERMAINE @GibbyDat @Kameron_Hay What would happen if Jokic left the Nuggets lmao that's not a playoff team
English
@ignanchello @GibbyDat @Kameron_Hay What happened when Shaq left the lakers ? Niggas was skunk water
English
@EzBz_ @DOC323123 Spurs are better than the Nuggets and not because of Wemby. At least the Nuggets rn with PWat and AG out
English
who is the best player of the 2020s then are we giving it to Jaylen Brown? Like I’m genuinely asking
Freddy@freddyg24_
Consistent in what exactly? Stats? I can argue lots of stars can and have consistently put up numbers consistently Jokic has been to the finals ONCE
English
@ignanchello @DOC323123 I’ll give you OKC. Boston’s is more or so equal. Spurs supporting cast for Wemby is not better than Denver’s. Wemby is just better.
English
@Reixas11 @alorenzo41 @TheWestbrookEra I don't think they lost cause of him. He could've been better but he wasn't horrible. Celtics were just better + nobody on the Mavs could make a shot
English
@ignanchello @alorenzo41 @TheWestbrookEra Expect you to hold Luka to the same standard and not put the blame on him for the finals against the Celtics then.
English
Luka destroyed the same Wolves team that cooked Jokic in ‘24 and it literally got swept under the rug. Jokic PR is unreal he’s not better than Luka either.
ريفز🇸🇴@NotLikeAr
Shai gentlemen swept this wolves team btw, don’t ever put Jokic in that convo again
English
@GibbyDat @derplyhoop @Kameron_Hay Only in 23 and the bubble. Missed 21 and 22 playoffs. Hurt in 24 which made him be absolute ass. Last year was only good in like 3-4 out of 14 games
English
English
@derplyhoop @GibbyDat @Kameron_Hay Jamal has only had 1 postseason where he played like that, and they won a ring going 16-4. Not counting the bubble cause that team wasn't ready yet and Jokic wasn't MVP caliber yet
English
English
@FugazyVon @okcamars Nah it wasn't just Russ. Big part of it. But AG was determined. Jokic had a fire in him even if his efficiency dropped. They're jogging out there rn
English
@ignanchello @okcamars They let they absolute dog go and the toughness of the team went wit him
English
@alorenzo41 @TheWestbrookEra Okay? He lost cause Murray and MPJ both shot under 40%. Kyrie on the other hand went crazy. Jokic is playing like this rn cause of his injury too. Check the numbers before and after missing that month
English
@ignanchello @TheWestbrookEra And lost, Luka was injured all playoffs
English
@MiladHeat @aryh21 I mean I really do think it's cause of the injury or maybe he wasn't fully healed or conditioned enough. But also it's been like 5 months so idk if this is the new normal
English
@ignanchello @aryh21 So an injury is what stopped him from being his usual self
English
Jokic can’t put enough pressure on the defense anymore as a 1v1 volume scorer which is very interesting
English
@buzzcitybridge His prime was 21-24 just a shame Murray was injured for 3 of those runs
English
@alorenzo41 @TheWestbrookEra Ok? Jokic was also the best player in the series
English
@MiladHeat @aryh21 Jokic my favorite player but that was an outlier. His scoring efficiency has been so ass since coming back from the injury. He was making jumpers and floaters that game he hasn't hit those consistently since the injury
English
@jasehoops He didn't use to his movement looks ass check that 21-23 tape
English
@aryh21 Jokic been ass but Denver obviously isn't going away from him. CB is a long term problem that caps their ceiling
English
@jasehoops His touch has dissapeared from every part of the court since coming back from the injury. It's not just jumpshots. Missing floaters that are usually automatic for him
English
the spike in Jokic’s 3p volume trickles down to every aspect of his offense, he doesn’t get the same number of putbacks and overall playfinishing buckets that inflates his regular season efficiency and it pulls him out of the MOF where his playmaking operates the most
English
@undercoverNBA They definitely do it on purpose they know it'll get quoted
English
Does that say “not enough” 😭😭
StatMuse@statmuse
Nikola Jokic in Game 3 vs Minnesota: 27 PTS 15 REB 7-26 FG 2-10 3P Not enough.
English
@NoTechBen Agreed but this is clearly not normal Joker. He's been ass since coming back from that injury. Efficiency has fallen off a cliff since then. Also his movement is night and day difference
English
@ElmoCarp Why do people act like Denver lost game 2 and 3 because of their defense and not because of their offense? Also yes Jokic is a bad defender but he's arguably not even the biggest problem. Dudes get a runway to the rim against Denver the perimeter defense is ass too
English
I wonder how many guys would be called the greatest in the world and top 10 all time with as many middling regular seasons and playoffs as Jokic.
One conference finals since the bubble, only two seasons over 52 wins.
Meanwhile he is THE REASON Denver can’t get any stops.
