Jokic giving me a chance to appreciate Larry decades later

[–] SwiggySiggyDoc@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Always thought Larry Legend played longer

[–] Low_Smile1400@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Makes sense. Eg made bird and jokic comparisons during jokics rookie seasons.

lol Giannis with 22.8/9.6/4.7… so close yet so far

Throw out his first 2 seasons and he's there

[–] Desikiki@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Jokic didn’t arrive a star either.

Imagine jokic in the 80s with no spacing and enforcers ready to tackle him..

[–] burrito_fister@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I am and he's still dominating

[–] zestful_villain@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Refs dont give jokic any calls even when he gets clobbered. Jokic is 6-11 280lbs with insane bball IQ. He is gonna dominate in other era of basketball.

I'd imagine Kareem and/or Hakeem were also close. They both were inside-out post players on good teams, though I'd expect Hakeem to be closer.

The craziest part about this post is that Jokic is going to pass Bird in games played when he’s like 32 years old.

[–] GTO_Zombie@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

How does Jokic have 100 more double doubles lol

[–] dbgager@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

For JOkic his numbers will rise.THis includes 2-3 years of not up to this level play at the beginning.

[–] Bigballin345@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Jokic is just big bird
