Watch him play. A whole season. You'll see he's a conductor on the court. He points at where people should be and go to make the perfect pass. Positions his teammates for the open cuts and oops as well.
Really, watch his past few seasons.. He's a fucking basketball genius.
I don't think Jokic's passing has ever been about 'flash', not ever a little bit. It's about manipulating the defense so that if the pass is completed it generates an easy bucket for his teammates.
There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that
Except Jokic is doing that as a center
Kendrick Perkins is that you? Stop it.
OP, to see this sub unite against you brings me great joy
Holy shit lmaooooo
Turnovers are just part of the game for playmakers. That’s why Lebron is the all time turnover leader. Westbrook is #3 and the assists leader John Stockton is #5.
Seeing as you have people arguing he’s in the conversation for best passer ever I’d have to go with yes. He’s good but not on that level.
Jokic can thread the needle, but what makes him special is his ability to anticipate cuts, process how the defense reacts, and then throw a dime all in a split second. He also controls the tempo of the offense masterfully, a true maestro on offense akin to the #10 on a soccer field.
