Joker is the second best player since MJ and it’s not particularly close.
Eh, I'd say its close. LeBron, Shaq, Kobe, Durant, Steph. No denying Joker is a beast and in his prime might be better than all of them, but I think its very debatable.

I think there’s LeBron, then joker, then a massive gap.

Steph may have changed the game the most but the average box of LBJ and joker is insane.

Jokic is better passing and running an offense than all these guys including LeBron.

It’s still crazy, Joker has never played with an all-star in his career. And he has 3 MVPs (assuming he wins this year) and has an NBA championship.

On local Denver radio they were asking the question if only 1 title would be disappointing if he wins 3 MVPs. Moses Malone is the only other 3 MVPer with only a single championship.

My argument would be look at all those other players with 3 MVPs. Not only did they have all stars on the team with them, they had hall of famers! Magic had Kareem and Worthy, Bird had Parrish and McHale, Jordan had Pippen, LeBron had Wade and Kyrie (although he probably won’t be a hall of famer out of stupidity). The fact Joker has been able to get 1 title is quite the accomplishment

There's a strong argument Jokich should have won it last year over Embiid too.

Heat have a matchup problem with Porzingas. He's killing them on the perimeter.

Sorry but a Lakers coach complaining about officiating is the most lame thing in sports history. I mean if he wants to forfeit a title or two by all means.

I would've said this before tonight's shot, but Jamal Murray absolutely deserves an all star spot at some point. Dude is so fun to watch

I loved in the postgame interview when he referred to teammates telling him to keep shooting that BS floater. :)
What game!!!!! I had all but written that one off.

And yes, Murray is great and worthy of being an all-star, he just hasn’t been healthy enough. Also, if he played for the Lakers/Celtics he probably would have made an all star game at this point.

Regarding the Lakers ******** about refereeing, I believe tonight is the first time in the Nuggets 10-game win streak over LA that they shot more free throws than the LA. The Lakers can EABOD whining about officiating.
