No. Can he shoot freethrows as well as Joker? No. Can he facilitate like Joker? No Does Shaq have better court vision? No...better basketball IQ? please....Shaq was not a better basketball player than Jokic. He was bigger, fatter and had more size and could dunk. Where else was he better than Jokic? Shaq loves to talk about being the most "dominant big ever" but he never led the league in blocks or rebounds.

Should have kept it to yourself Shaq. Joker, believe it or not, could have lived the rest of his life without hearing your opinion. Joker never once asked for Shaq or anybody else’s opinion and that’s what makes him great. He just does his thing and doesn’t look for approval from any of these talking heads. He has his team behind him and that seems to be enough

I want to personally thank Shaq for disrespecting Joker so he could show you who the real MVP is. Thanks Shaq!!!

Everyone has there own opinion you’re right on that Shaq.. but saying your true opinion right after Jokic just found out he was MVP was wrong & unprofessional.. that’s one reason why true nba fans are upset. no one else in the league can average the same stats and make an huge impact during these playoffs game then Jokic right now.. Jokic is the well deserved MVP this season. this is coming from a celts fan.

You keep saying number 1 seed you act like thethunder got a game or 2 games up on them in seeding wise. It’s the same record. It’s just by division. Your your technically wrong and definitely hating
