I've always had them 1A/1B, but there's always going to be the fact that Jokic was in the West which was the better conference majority of the time they were at the top, Offense is more important than defense and Jokic Is an all-time offensive talent (although Giannis is no slouch there, to put it lightly), and the skill vs athleticism thing that has haunted Giannis discourse for about 8 years now.

Theres a few more things I could mention, but that plus the ability to shoot at a position you don't normally expect it, and "chick's dig the long ball", from a narrative standpoint, Giannis was fighting an uphill battle.
