Should Nikola Jokic’s 2023 playoffs run be talked about as one of the individual all time great run?
Nikola Jokic averaged 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 20 games in the 2023 playoffs. He won his first Finals MVP award and his first NBA championship.
First time in history that a player has less the playoffs in points, rebounds and assists.
Individually, he played the best defenders at his position in Gobert, Davis and Bam.

yall might not like to hear it but that isnt for us to decide lmao. Its for the fans in 10, 15 years to decide if it holds up.
An “All time” run that just happened isnt something people in the present pick.
Do I think people will reference it much in the future? Probably not. Not enough moments, not enough memorable opposing teams, etc.
He went through a hell of a center matchup though. KAT Gobert, Ayton, AD, and Bam. Doesn’t get much tougher than that. Also, he made some ridiculous shots over AD.
