HE IS CENTER AND HE IS AVERAGING 10 ASSISTS PER GAME AND SHOOTS 49% FROM DEEP IN THIS SERIES. I'm sorry, but Lebron was never that guy. He was never soo efficient like Jokic is, nit just from the field, but from everywhere in the court, Jokic is simply more efficient player than Lebron and he produces more assists than Lebron so I'm gonna say Jokic does everything that Lebron does, but better. And that's why his impact is bigger than Lebron's.

[@MrBodin26]

It's a good comparison, but LeBron was never on this Jokic level of impact and efficiency, even when he played with Hall of Famers that helped him take a lot of load off. Jokic took 100% of load and pressure and critique and hate from media and swallowed it up and delivered.

The reason people have overlooked the Nuggets this postseason (not me though) was because of their postseason failures the last 2 years.

This is the first team they have been fully healthy, and I expected them to get out of the West from the Get-Go. I called Celtics-Nuggets from the beginning. Jokic is the best player in the league.

When Skip continues to praise KD for those back to back FMVP's he always fails to mention that Ty Lue said his game plan was to double Steph and let everyone else beat them. KD is included with everyone else. What has KD proven when he's the guy being doubled in the playoffs? What has he proven without Steph standing next to him and without Golden State. It's easy to be great next to Steph taking all the double teams he got Iggy a FMVP too😂

[@AG30]

Iggy and kd in 2017/18 both got fmvp basically just because they hit the open looks/ went one on one all game for kd anyways

[@shottakidd2]

KD getting doubled teamed in PHX and look at Booker looking like a MVP with GREAT efficiency because he is more open than he has ever been. That's what Steph did for KD in GS. Everyone focused on not letting Steph go off and the team would get KD an open look and the media just looked at numbers and said he is better.

[@Ihrlutschtdochalle]

Nothing, he has proven nothing. He joined a team that was 73-9 the previous season and then won back to back finals mvp of Stephs back

[@jakestine4753]

To be fair, the Nuggets were double-teaming Booker all day long in games 5 and 6 in this series. Didn't seem to help KD out much. But that might be because they were always rotating effectively, playing a 2-man zone essentially. KD and Book had man coverage and would get doubled by the nearest zone player. It's a great defensive strategy vs. a team with 2 perimeter superstars and no center.

[@rplayer77]

Agreed. Kevin Ducant is nothing without Chef Curry.

Omg if Steph or LeBron flamed out like this in an elimination game Skip wouldn't let us hear the end of it to go with a blooper reel It's ridiculous the amount of excuses he makes for Kevin Durant oh he got a big toe, CP3 was hurt etc. Those open looks he got with the Splash Brothers fooled u Skip he ain't that guy be a man and admit it!
