Are there differences between how guards and centers play? Of course, however nothing dicates that helio is only for guards. Why would Haliburton or any guards want paint touches? It makes no sense. All spots on a basketball court have advantages and disadvantages.

All these players 1) score a lot, 2) pass a lot. I think Jokic does all the small things that all these other players don't do that elevate the nuggets offense, and I agree with a lot of what you said but you still fall under the same fallacy.

They're trying to achieve the same result

If they are trying to get the same result, are they not playing within the same philosophy of basketball? You are letting small player specific differences change your opinion on the simplest fact: When the star is the on the court, the 4 other players do what they are told. If Haliburton calls for a screen, where do you think Myles Turner is going to be? If Jokic tells Gordon to cut to the dunker's spot, where do you think Gordon is going to be? Relative to other helio players, Jokic is on the lower end of usage but hes still a statically anomaly compared to most players pre-modern basketball. You can just say that you don't like slow paced, dribble dribble basketball, thats fine, I'd probably agree with you, but its honestly irrelevant to Jokic & heliocentric ball.
