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)

I think we should only compare him to players who entered the league after NBA/ABA merger. The game has changed too much. That makes Jokix the third best center, behind Hakeem and Shaq.
