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.

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..

[@thekingswift]

One of the points I’m not seeing is that, not only does he have all the passes in his arsenal, but he’s doing this as a center! A primary ball handler that’s a legit center. That alone should give him more points in his favor

[@MineFullStop]

Exactly.

[@jasonbrown2090]

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.

[@Knownas_DonDada]

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

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.

Now I only say those names to say that Jokic is definitely creeping in there, but I can't consider him top 5. Alot of these players have had flashy passes in there career. But consistency and amount of passes plays a big part to me. I can understand throwing Jokic in a top 10 or 15... But to say top 5 is blasphemy to me. I mean damn, Ja Morant is a great passer in my opinion, especially to be hands on with the ball as much as he is. Hell we've seen Westbrook make plenty of beautiful passes thru the years. And passing isn't all about flash as much as it is TIMING to me. Not every great pass has to be a no look, elbow, behind the back. For me a drive and dish pass is beautiful. A pump-fake and pass. A pick and roll pass/lob over a defenders head/between legs. Threading the needle pass between defenders. Outlet pass. Hell wasn't Dewayne Wade considered one of the Greatest Lobbing passers simply from how he dimed up Lebron on lobs so much (maybe that was just a debate between me and my boys/family/friends). There's so much that goes into passing. Jokic is great... but I personally can't say top 5 all time yet. I can 100% understand calling Jokic a top 5 PASSING CENTER! all day.
