To me Jokic is just unathletic Duncan

 

[jdubnyce]

Tim could stop Nikola more than
Nikola could stop Tim

That is the answer

 

[BucciMane]

Tim could stop Nikola more than
Nikola could stop Tim

That is the answer

Not saying you're answer is wrong, but it's lazy answer and reasoning.

Are you saying if Jokic dishes out an assist that Duncan "stopped him", as Joker creates far more than Duncan did?

^^
I'm assuming Prime Duncan vs Current Jokic doesn't involve teammates

Nothing about the op suggests otherwise

 

[Controversy]

Call me crazy, but I'll take Joker

Can score at all 3 levels, makes his FTs, best passer in the league, can run an offense

Can rebound at the same level as Timmy

And for the record, Timmy was a C most of his career!

Both with get theirs but yall know im taking TD

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

On the block…Duncan is getting moved

 

[Fresh]

honestly I pick Jokic, he can score with Tim Duncan and Jokic is much more versatile than Duncan

the passing, the three pointers, the decision making

imo I give the edge to Joker

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

Is this pre-injury Duncan?

 

[Surreal]

Timothy....easy

Joker would be food in Duncan’s era. He not going toe to toe with them dawgs in the west

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

If we thinking about it if you picking somebody historically to guard Jokic who would be a better option than Timmy?

Mobile and athletic enough to guard him outside and up high and strong and skilled to match up with him in the post.

Joker would still do his thing though but Tim is a problem for him and anybody else

Tim Duncan just cause he’s a better athlete. Joker will do well but Timmy will force him into tough shots. He’s not just going to back him down and rise up.

 

[Big Boss]

I’d take Joker too. Joker is a much better offensive player and a true hub.

Duncan is arguably the best post defender since Russell, but Jokic on offense means more.
