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.

Just going off of eye-test/how unstoppable he felt, I'd say it was the greatest run since LeBron on the cavs. Booker was putting up peak MJ numbers, and yet Jokic was still dominating the game. And he did this every single game

Honestly, the only argument against his run is that the competition was weak last year. I think a fully healthy Bucks team could've made for an interesting series, but we didn't get that.
