So it seems that another Lebron counting stat argument will go against him going forward. Shows Jokic’s dominance and the difference in their games.
I do wonder what the next arguments will be considering he’s thought of an all time playmaker when Jokic might be the goat playmaker in due time.

I’ll take the bait.
Triple doubles used to be a lot rarer.

LeBron had a lot of his career play out when the triple double were less prevalent. It would be different if he came into the league today.
With that said, obviously Jokic is a great passer, one of the best. I still don’t know who I would take, him or Heatles LeBron(if only talking playmaking). LeBron’s laser passes to the corner after a drive was unstoppable. Will need another few years to look back to make a decision.
