Jokic is more like Brady(other than the early championships). Both are late draft picks that began as backups, deemed as unathletic despite their top tier durability and endurance, always make whoever is around them better, have a trusting relationship with their coach, and kept being criticized despite their constant success. Manning is actually way closer to Lebron. Both first overall picks who were hyped as "the next big thing" since they were in high school. Both are control freaks who want to have say about who is on the team and how the offense is run. Both missed the playoffs their rookie season. Both place big significance on their stats. Lebron spent most of his career in the easier conference, Manning spent most of his career in the easier division.
