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.
Why do people still complain about embiid mvp? Jokic deserves it but its a regular season award & embiid was better there.
Jokic still was on the floor for more wins eventhough he sat those games out. Jokic was just better in the regular season even while cruising to the number one seed.
