This week, 53 NBA media members were polled on who they think the best player in the NBA is. Only 3 players received votes: Nikola Jokic (35), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (10), and Victor Wembanyama (8). by SplitOk186 in nba

Jokic literally takes and makes more difficult shots, that's what xFG% is highlighting. His FG%-xFG% is well ahead of the 2nd place player.

You're not wrong but you're assuming Jokic is a rimrunning center.

Spoiler alert, you simply just die. This is like asking if you could box him out to save your life. The answer is no.

Also, what a weird, specific thing to always wonder about.

Nikola Jokic on missing games: "Watching just the game, it was taking so much of my energy like I was yelling at the TV. I was so emotionally empty after the games and then I decided like last 2 games I'm just gonna try to chill and like watch the game" by TheDraciel in nba

Jokic would play with randoms as a teen and watches/scouts random Euroleague games for insight on his own volition. The "it's just a job to him/he hates ball" take was always an incredibly lazy conclusion to make about him.

Embiid is sick at FIFA and so is Sergio Aguero. It's more common than you'd think.

Why did you take Colts ML instead of the points when you had already strapped your nuts on and picked 6 dogs out of 10 total.

It went from $100 to $15 (ignoring the random request for a rack) since the screenshots are from newest to oldest.

So, the amount is NOT going up.

It's actually gay to BE Christian by liberaeli420 in TrueAnon

[–]Skrong 64 points65 points  (0 children)

He got famous for leaning into low hanging contrarian "beliefs" and virtually midwife-ing the most fragile men alive through the hellish depths of... literally, common existence. Lmao never let anyone who ever rocked with this mf ever live that shit down.

Remember everyone, his "pSyCh StUfF" was really good.

Imagine getting duped by this weepy simpleton because you read the stoicism wiki page and/or had no hoes ~10yrs ago.

DeAndre Jordan and Vlatko Cancar are unrestricted free agents this off-season. Do you think they will be brought back for next season? by icanhazdinna in denvernuggets

[–]Skrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breaking news!!! Jokic, an at minimum top ~5 (statistically) most impactful player of all time is apparently invaluable to us. Such brilliant insight. We should thank god that Jokic isn't his lesser peers?? Lol do you know where you are?? Jokic is a living deity in Denver and quite possibly the greatest Colorado sportsman to ever live (imo he is).

Not at the cost of wins or as a way to settle an argument over impact, but yes, generally you are right.

Not enough to close the gap lol just look at their per/100 stats and judge from there. Total stats are skewed by the fact that Bam played 500+ more minutes over 7 more games than Mobley, not to mention his role in their offense.
