Should Nikola Jokic's 2023 playoffs run be talked about as one of the individual all time great run?

Nikola Jokic averaged 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 20 games in the 2023 playoffs. He won his first Finals MVP award and his first NBA championship.

First time in history that a player has less the playoffs in points, rebounds and assists.

Individually, he played the best defenders at his position in Gobert, Davis and Bam.

The only championship run players with a highest WS/48 for their championship playoff run are outside of the 1950s are Michael Jordan in 1991, Chris Andersen in 2013, and Michael Jordan in 1996.

Anytime you’re in a list with only MJ and Birdman, you’re in elite company.
