Is Jokic right now better than Peak KD and Steph?

[threattonature]

That's actually a great question. I think I'd still have Steph as the top just for how deep his range is and how defenses had to scramble to guard him from so deep. His gravity was insane and opened things up so much for the teammates. Jokic is damn close and when adding his passing it's super close.

Terrible comparison but not surprised it came from the same person who said Dame surpassed Steph

Tough question, but Jokic has put himself in that convo. He has actually separated himself from Giannis, Embiid and co.

Peak KD.... No IMO. Peak Steph... MAYBE but even then, peak steph was so insane it changed the league as a whole

Tough question, but Jokic has out himself in that convo. He has actually separated himself from Giannis, Embiid and co.

He has not separated himself from Embid sir. Before a Golden State player fell on his leg, Embid was like a lock for MVP and it wasn't remotely close either

Embid was like a lock for MVP and it wasn't remotely close either

That's like, your opinion, man.

At their absolute respective peaks, Jokic is on the same level as them. All 3 are/were uniquely monstrous in their own way. Jokic has actually sustained his other wordly performance (production, efficiency, etc) for more consecutive seasons than Steph or KD ever did. Granted, so has Giannis and Embiid from a regular season perspective.

Difference with Jokic compared to all the others mentioned, is that his title run last year under the brightest lights is p4p one of the best/most impressive ever when factoring strength of schedule and how he packed up Gobert/Towns/KD/Ayton/Book/LeBron/AD/Butler/Bam.

Didn't crash and burn in the playoffs, nor did he ever look shaky or need to benefit from key injuries to the ops to survive a series enroute to his title. It was just pure domination from October through June.

steph been to the finals 6x in 8 years. won a title and made MVP within 5 years and currently has 4 rings. Peak steph is the only unanimous MVP and has won 2 chips without a top 75 player

No jokic isn't better than peak steph

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA @ "peak KD"

Y'all can hammer the fallacy of that miserable scoring savant's GOATness forever and a day, his narrative is already written. He ain't never had the impact of Joker in his peasy-headed, beanstalk-limbed, life. K ElecSonica ain't in that convo.

We all know he didn't deserve to be the 1st.. plus he had an epic choke in that same year as the #1

There's only been 1 finals he's been in where he was considered the best player

Saw this topic on a mailbag question. And I gotta wonder is dude already in that kind of territory?

But then thinking about if you drop Prime KD or Steph on the Nuggets right now…they’d easily still be the second option.

Which means Jokic is already moving into top 10 territory already. Which is nuts…dude hasn’t even played 10 years yet.

You say that bullshyt Jason Temph said.. Dude is a fukkin lakers homer and Lebron ball sac nut hugger… No Jokic is not better than peak Steph or KD

Peak Steph went 73-9 for a season? Peak Steph and KD went 16-1 in the playoffs..

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Peak Steph and Peak KD linked up to beat Peak Bron

Steph wasn’t peak and he beat Lebron

 

[BaggerofTea]

Im taking Jokic over Durant, Jokics playmaking + scoring supersedes durants raw scoring
