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)

The thing is Kareem, Wilt and Bill are almost myth status at this point

So that leaves 2 ahead of him in Shaq and Hakeem imo, and if Jokic keeps playing at this lvl a couple of years into his 30s, then I could see it depending on taste where you place him compared to those 2. The lvl of play is there, the duration just isn’t yet
