So it seems that another Lebron counting stat argument will go against him going forward. Shows Jokic’s dominance and the difference in their games.

I do wonder what the next arguments will be considering he’s thought of an all time playmaker when Jokic might be the goat playmaker in due time.

This is so silly. Does this make Russell Westbrook the greatest playmaker of all time?

[–] CIark@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. The plays may not always be good but he will definitely make plays of some kind

I'll take the bait.

LeBron had a lot of his career play out when the triple double were less prevalent. It would be different if he came into the league today.

With that said, obviously Jokic is a great passer, one of the best. I still don't know who I would take, him or Heatles LeBron(if only talking playmaking). LeBron's laser passes to the corner after a drive was unstoppable. Will need another few years to look back to make a decision.

Hmm, I wonder who entered the league in 15-16??? Perhaps one doughy serbian king?

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure what your point is other than to circlejerk. Jokic had 0 triple doubles in his rookie season, 6 in his second season, 10 in his third, 12 in his fourth.

The inflation of triple doubles in the league is because the game changed, not because of Jokic.

[–] Poshastko@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

His games played trending down. Triple doubles trending up. If the trends continue and he plays long enough he will at some point have more triple doubles than games played in a single season. Imagine that!

No one mentions triple doubles when it comes to LeBron arguments lil bruh

[–] Live_Substance_8519@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

okay but he’s a star 7 foot center? he should be getting double doubles every night; the only exceptional thing is his assist total.

lebron did this shit as a SF

[–] CangtheKonqueror@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

the only exceptional thing is his assist total

you say this like it’s some trivial thing for a 7 footer to be doing
