Why Is Jokic Rated Much Higher Than Giannis?

[tremonthustler1]

Do y'all nikkas ever stop crying about dumb shyt? Giannis hasn't won a Playoff series since 2022. He was the consensus best player in the World before then and most have him ranked Top 3 at worst.

Jokic has won a Championship, made the WCF twice and has been a Top 2 MVP candidate each year during that timespan.

As if Jokic's race is the reason why he's historically good on offense. Most people had AD and Embiid over him until he got a ring.

Media was scared to give Jokic another MVP because they didn't want him on that short list of immortals without a ring.

Now Malta's playing spades with Supreme ruing the day he supported Embiid.

BECAUSE JOKIC IS THE BEST CENTER IN NBA HISTORY NOT NAMED WILT

You can’t have the best player in the world crown and get packed up in the 1st round eveery year. That’s some Carmelo Anthony shyt lol.

 

[StatUS]

Jokic so good on O you gotta forget the defense. Kinda like Curry. He's the best player for the past few years. Giannis is right there but he's been losing in the first round alot lately.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Probably because u cant give the ball to Giannis in the clutch.. cant shoot, cant hit free throws, and has 0 moves

 

[Harry B]

Because triple doubles, and cause casuals and media too don't care about defense.

But generally I don't see him being ranked "much higher", more like marginally higher

Just wait until you know who sees this thread.

Its really crazy how being a great/good defensive player is overlooked

If we both on the same level or close to on offense

But

Im lightyears better on defense

How are you better than me?

 

[feelosofer]

Eh. Giannis since he won the Championship hasn't had any real success after and if anything he has been shielded from the blame (not saying it's totally his fault or anything)

they're not as close on offense. Giannis' inability to develop a reliable outside shot has left him way behind Jokic.

The reason why Giannis IS close to Jokic is because of defense.


But Americans only care about defense when a PA announcer orders you to yell it.


or when Draymond or AD or Bam cry about it.

 

[Theflash]

Only player with a higher P.E.R than
By .60 so analytics ppl arent moving from that

He not no way behind shyt. Greek can go off the dribble and in open court only Bron may be better. Joker cant do that shyt at all.
So they both do things offensively the other cant

But on the defensive side its nothing joker do better or even come close to

 

[BigTyme Records]

Much better offensively to me.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Who has Jokic "that" much higher than Giannis tho?

I do. I can’t stand that Greek cocksucker.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

They’re close
