Quiet as kept, Memphis has reeled off 11 in a row after Ja said they weren't worried about the West, only Boston

Same stats as now while being less of a defensive liability.

Sort of vague tbh. You think his stats would be the same? Do you think he’s scoring on Shaq, Hakeem, David Robinson, Ewing.. that’s only a few of the guys that would’ve had to guard him in a more physical era. I just don’t see the back to back MVPs if he played in the 90s.

GET RUSS OFF THE FLOOR!

 

[B Sox]

Russ

 

[tsamshox]

[king j]

Ham needs to bench Russ,man’s just wasted 2 possessions tryna iso

 

[D StaXX]

Offense was humming, and this mfer out here trying to iso dribbling like Julian Newman

Yes I think he would score on all them

Why do you think he wouldn’t be able to? He’s a generational offensive player.

All those dudes you named were able to score against each other.

Is him not being able to win B2B MVPs during Michael Jordan’s prime supposed to be a knock?

What the hell is Ham doing with this line up?
Why would you sit Bron?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Jokic is transcendent. Drop him into any era and he'd have zero rings

 

[addict4sneakers]

Rust

 

[pmatic]

Brick.

That is true. Everyone came after Michael Jordan in the 90s but I don’t think Jokić would even crack the top five centers if he played in that era. “ i think he would score on all of them”.. a lot of those guys have multiple defensive player of the year awards and/or and all defensive team honors. I think the playmaking skill he has is generational but to say his stats wouldn’t drop off is a bold statement, especially in a more physical era..and hes not a great defender. I think he would be solid, but seems like more of a beneficiary of current era.

 

[Based Jesus]

I guarantee you Jokic sees harder defenses in the modern era than he would've when illegal defense was a thing

In case anyone was curious about the Hornets and Rockets game earlier:
