Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.
10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.
He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.
I know a lot of people had a problem with Michael Malone blasting off about how the nuggets are overlooked and people don’t even really stop and think about how Jokic is doing literally brain breaking stuff like it’s no biggie— but clown takes like this by the media and the casual viewership and nephews like this definitely proves his point.
And I always agreed with MM that depsite the Nuggets regular season achievements, they were absolutely overlooked and continue to be.
