Where would you rank current Jokic among All-Time Centers? (alien.top)

I don’t think it can even be argued against that Jokic is one of the greatest centers to ever play the game. The man already has 2 MVPs, a Finals MVP, and a championship at 28 years of age. As long as he doesn’t face any injuries, his play style isn’t exactly one that will quickly deteriorate as he grows older. But where do you think he already ranks among All-Time centers? What does he have to accomplish to be considered at the level of players like Hakeem?

(please don’t misinterpret that as me saying Jokic has already surpassed Olajuwon, I just thought it was a fun benchmark to use)

Offense wise, he is up there with Shaq as the most dominant player to play the game. Above them is only Wilt but that's due to the era he played in. His defense is average but that's another story.

Jokic is easily the best offensive center ever, but the defensive gap is big, that's why he needs more accolades. Jokic is leagues best shooter and playmaker on those lists, legitimately not even remotely close. He's also by far the worst defender there.
