The 2020 Lakers had McGee and Howard. Didn't stop Jokic but they just kept punching him in the mouth. That's something you need to wear out Jokic. Guys like him, your best defense is getting away with multiple fouls and hope the refs don't call it.

Playstyle wise, Jokic neuters all of AD's best qualities. He removes AD's paint protection and offensively, he's thick and strong enough to be a logjam in front of AD.
