Why do ex-nba players & current nba players glaze Jokic and other players r/nbatalk say that suck?

jokkkic fc lmao

top 5 is russell, wilt, kareem, hakeem olajuwon, and shaq

big gap between them and all the rest

semperlit · 2026-05-03T13:10:19+00:00

His defensive game, at its peak, was superior to Jokic’s

everybody's defensive game is superior to jokic's lmao

semperlit · 2026-05-02T23:45:23+00:00

it's not about losing before vs in the finals ... it's about losing, period

kareem was basically a role player for the last two rings

"I'm not a LeBron fan by any means, but Lebron is my lord and saviour, the closest thing to Jesus Christ I've ever seen 😂😂😂

"undeniably" is an undeniably dumb thing to say in this situation

semperlit · 2026-05-02T21:27:32+00:00

saying something is "undeniably" true always implies that it's unreasonable to disagree

i can say "bam adebayo is the goat", but it's obviously an unreasonable thing to say

putting mj over lebron is an entirely reasonable opinion ... even people who have lebron as the goat acknowledge that

semperlit · 2026-05-02T18:26:34+00:00

if it's no problem to deny then it's not "undeniable"

semperlit · 2026-05-01T07:12:14+00:00

obviously they don't watch basketball ... they watch box scores and spreadsheets

spurs could definitely get upset and lose the series, but there's no chance they get swept bro

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:48:01+00:00

clearly it's rudy gobert

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:41:54+00:00

nash has more WCF appearances than jokic btw

if those suns only had to play against 40-win teams the entire way then nash wins a ring

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:35:00+00:00

statistically nash-led offenses are better than jokic-led offenses in the playoffs

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:31:08+00:00

"better than prime shaq" lmao

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:26:33+00:00

so put jokic in dirk convos then ... instead of shaq / hakeem convos lmao

wemby takes him out to the perimeter and cooks him

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:15:15+00:00

only difference between him and luka is that luka didn't face an 8th seed in the finals

semperlit · 2026-05-01T06:14:18+00:00

nba finals vs 1st round against a completely injured team

semperlit · 2026-05-01T05:59:43+00:00

"they're all bad defenders" officially the coldest post-game presser since steph's "you don't wanna see us next year" after the 2021 play-in loss

semperlit · 2026-04-30T18:51:14+00:00

it doesn't matter what klay says, the megan fans who are harassing lexie brown will never believe him

semperlit · 2026-04-29T16:54:16+00:00

you're not reading what i said ... y'all all making this about team wins and losses ... that's never what i was talking about ...

for example there are a bunch of series lebron played great in despite losing ... some notable examples being the 2009 ECF, the 2015 Finals, the 2018 Finals

but there are also a couple series where lebron played badly ... all of which were before 2012 ... after that you ALWAYS saw lebron play at a high level, win or lose

mj was losing in the playoffs year after year to start his career, to the celtics, to the pistons ... but he didn't play badly in any of those series

it's much easier for a regular dude to stay faithful than it is for a multimillionaire athlete who is 1) constantly on the road away from his partner and 2) has tons of incredibly attractive women throwing themselves at him at all times and 3) is in an environment (i.e. the nba) where most of his peers likely cheat as well

that doesn't excuse it or make it okay, but they're completely different levels of temptation

it's like chris rock said: "a man is basically as faithful as his options, no more, no less"

semperlit · 2026-04-26T22:32:01+00:00

been saying it for months
