I know achievements will dictate whether he'll belong or not but as a player, and the skillset he possesses, do you think he will be talked about like how Steph Curry is being talked about as a shoe-in for Top 10 status?
I think yes because at the core of his game, he is a Top 5 offensive player of all time and it would've been sealed had he won MVP and FMVP this year (what a travesty giving it to Embiid). He is statistically as impactful as Michael Jordan and that says a lot.
Looking at his game, he's the perfect offensive center who can do it all minus the athletic feats. He's like Magic Johnson but he's a more reliable and more efficient scorer who mainly playmakes from the high post.
The thing with Jokic is, his game is built to last. It isn't reliant on athleticism and will be a consistent threat unless he retires early. I honestly think he'll be in the mix for Top 10 when all is said and done.
Imo Jokic is on pace to surpass Dirk and KG who are typically ranked between 15 and 20. He’s exceeded my wildest expectations these past three years so I’m not going to say he won’t be top 10 when he retires but I think the Vegas odds are still fairly long at the moment. A lot of things need to break his way that are completely out of his control - namely teammate health
