Yeah because it overweights centers who rack up assists. I don’t understand why they reworked the formula after Westbrook “broke” it with his rebounding but haven’t done so for Jokic’s passing. Neither had better seasons than Prime MJ and LeBron.

Ok then, find me a stat that Jokic is bad in. Y'all will say anything before giving him the respect he deserves.
