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.

For one thing, the Suns were favored not only in betting odds, but also by analysts (here are 13 out of 17 ESPN analysts picking the Suns to win the Nuggets series),, so you're making shit up, but even if you weren't totally wrong, that logic is hilarious: "Can't be that good if no one was favored over you."

No brother, that means you are good. The Lakers and Heat weren't favored over the Nuggets because Jokic was having one of the greatest postseason runs in NBA history, wafflestomping his way through the playoffs.

there wasnt a single team you went up against that will be remembered in 5 years, just being better than others doesnt mean you had a historic run lmao

People won't remember the KD Booker suns? People won't remember Bron AD Lakers? People won't remember the heat that made 2 finals and 3 conference finals in 4 years?
