The problem is that you know the guys dismissing LoW and Mars don't seriously watch and analyze Jokic's playmaking, from every level. He's already a great passer, but him being an elite scorer puts the fear of god in his defenders and gives him even more options. Defenders constantly mention how it's legit scary trying to defend him, because you're defending him and trying to predict which possible cutting lanes you left open and if there's an open man on the opposite side of the court.

I don't think people realize how crazy it is to do what Jokic's doing without ever playing with another all-star. His starting backcourt in the playoffs a couple years ago was Facu Campazzo and Austin Rivers. He played most of his minutes last year with Jeff Green, Will Barton, and Monte Morris, and he led the league in net rating playing with those guys, including an impressive 105 defensive rating. The dude is on another level when it comes to elevating the guys he's playing with. It almost seems like he could turn any lineup of random guys into a 120+ offensive rating unit.

First, this convo is missing a whole alot of players who's HOF careers were made of assists like Fat Level or Bob Cousy. That said, the single biggest difference that puts Jokic above alot of the passers ya'll discussing is that Jokic plays in the 3 POINT ERA. And for as many knowledgeable dudes in the panel there are, not one of you looked at these advanced stats: Nikola Jokic has the highest PPA(Points Per Assist) of any center ever, and his average of 2.75 Points Per Conversion(touches that result in points) is amongst the highest of any player of any position EVER. (Basketball Reference). On the other side, being that Jokic is only 27 with a game that translates to playing 20 years because none of it is about athleticism, putting him in any GOAT convo except passing big mam is still premature, so let's just enjoy watching history instead of needing to rank where Jokic belongs in history..

[@twizzy6760]

@@aidene.nguyen go ahead and put Wes Unseld up there too

[@anthonyspeta2181]

What's important to note is that Jokic is passing as a centre, so unlike most of the other great point guard passers, he's not passing the ball into the post or running a lot of pick and roll. Dude is having to create assists solely from handoff plays and post plays. More often than not he's giving guys open layups and dunks or 3s. Stockton was a very consistent passer, but had low difficulty passes. Magic is easily the #1 best passer, and I would say LeBron, CP3 and Nash are probably better, but it's tough to say.

[@ilovecats7838]

I agree with Low Jokic lead his team to the playoffs making players like Morris and Will Barton look good. His gravity leads them to easy shot . And it has production he beat the clippers in the finals with his play making

What? That's like saying "oh imagine picking 1 guy to shoot the ball and picking Magic" Putting him in a category where he isn't his best. He's an all around offensive player, not just scoring which makes his impact on the Nuggets offense so much bigger than any other center ever

Remember, when centers have the ball in the paint the defense buckle down on them so it's easier to pass (not that it's easy just easier than a guard) especially when you are 7 ft. The guard position everyone is trying to stop you from passing the ball and getting the offense going.

By that logic, more centers should be able to generate assists at a higher rate than guards…but they dont.

Everybody who disagreed with the Jokic take doesn't know basketball. He can make every pass and the whole teams offense is built around his passing at center.

Going to be the only center in the top 10 who team had to hide his defensive issues. I told ppl years ago point center going to be a thing Gianni’s is a point pf. But using jokic assist stat as to justify then when they bring up Stockton they run and say it’s flash and the type of passes even though Stockton has the best assist turnover ratio among passers. But jokic will be a 7 ft Stockton at this point because I don’t see him ever winning. That’s why I hate low marz and dubz sometimes they care so much about offense when it comes to centers. When centers had to be able to be the anchor on defense.
