Can we stop calling Giannis or KD the best player in the world now after a quarter of a season?

Jokic has been the best player in the world for 2 years. Back to back mvp, finals MVP, and he looks as good as ever.

There's no one on the planet in his tier right now

Tell it to ESPN (with their stupid Top-100 list)

KD was never the best player in the world, that went straight from LeBron to Giannis and then straight to Jokic after that.

3 years at least

Giannis at no point in time was ever the best player in the world. I've never seen a great player crumble on offense when it becomes a half court game and the refs don't coddle him.

Ehhhh, I’d still argue giannis for 2021 just do to that playoff run alone, but 22 onwards is definitely joker

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yup

He wasn't a worse player before 2023 just because he had Will Barton as his 2nd option lol

As a huge KD fan, I completely agree.

Jokic is and has been on a planet of his own for the last 2 years.

People don’t wanna talk about it but his offensive peak is better than KD/Curry and Lebron. The impact is insane.

[–] ComfortableDino@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Idk if I'm ready to call his offensive peak better than Lebrons.

KD's? Absolutely. Curry? Most likely. LeBron? Possibly.

But these ultra effecient 30 point triple doubles have become more common than they were with LeBron.

[–] artvandelay916@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not better than bron or Jordan come on man

[–] OberynRedViper8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It seems like just about everyone is calling him the undisputed best right now, no?

[–] realsomalipirate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic has been the best player I've seen since prime apex LeBron. I think he's a clear tier above Giannis, Embiid, Curry, or KD.
