    sort of kind of

    one on one, yeah

    but as a roamer, he did great, which probably is the best way to play Jokic for any team

    Jokic last year had 0 instances where in back to back games he shot below 50%

    vs lakers when they went to AD roam, LeBron/Rui guard Jokic, he had back to back to back under 50% shooting games, .534 TS those last 3 games

    Jamal having an all time wcf is what put Denver over

    The 2020 Lakers had McGee and Howard. Didn’t stop Jokic but they just kept punching him in the mouth. That’s something you need to wear out Jokic. Guys like him, your best defense is getting away with multiple fouls and hope the refs don’t call it.

    Playstyle wise, Jokic neuters all of AD’s best qualities. He removes AD’s paint protection and offensively, he’s thick and strong enough to be a logjam in front of AD.

    Any team whose defense heavily relies on a big to defend the paint falls apart when faced against an offense that goes through a big like Embiid or Jokic.
