OT: Jokic passed LeBron in total number of triple doubles and...

[gamecockcat]

He did it in >800 games less. In fact, the difference in games played between each of them accumulating 108 triples is more games total than Jokic has played in his career.

Could be one of the 10 best all-time before he's through, at least statistically and accolades accumulated.

 

[Wonky]

He’s a freak. He’s already the best passing big man I’ve ever seen.

 

[BlueSince92]

Also he didn’t cry.

 

[YardCat]

Could be a Top 10 all time before he retires

 

[BlueBlackNWhite]

Who you got? Jokic or Bird?

Uh. He's pretty good. 😉

He's single-handedly saving my fantasy team. Booker has played just one game for me so far...

The big galoot is incredible. A couple of years ago I watched him leading a break and he threw a one handed bounce pass 25 feet through traffic to hit a teammate for a layup. Joker is maybe the most all around talented big man I've ever seen, and I go back to the late 60s.

Great Question! The answer might be to be determined. Jokic is a great player with time to set new standards.

Jokic...and wouldn't think twice.

Who you got? Jokic or Bird?

Similar but still a difference between their games. Both incredible passers, both well above average rebounders, both score. Bird better all-around shooter, of course, but Jokic seems to always make the right play in much the same way as Bird. At least for now, Bird the more proven clutch player although Jokic still has plenty of time to accumulate the big shots/steals/rebounds/FTs that Bird did.

As far as trash talker, Jokic is a walkon and Bird is on the all-NBA team.

So Jokic is better than Lebron. Got it!

Let it play out.

Not what I said in OP. All I was pointing out is that LBJ is an all-time great and has consistently stuffed the stats page. Jokic has surpassed LBJ's career number of triple doubles in 800+ fewer games, more games than Jokic has played in his entire career. At his current pace, he may pass Magic this year for career triple doubles, which would put him 3rd all-time, only 80 away from the record. And he's only 28. Unlike the career leader, Westbrook, he doesn't get cheap stats in garbage time to make sure he gets a triple. Already 2-time MVP (robbed last year as idiots made the balloting about race) and a Finals MVP. Not better than LBJ, but could soon be in the conversation for top 10 or 15 all-time.

Denver is going to be the next Dynasty. They didn’t even have Murray last night and beat a Warriors team that’s started the season on fire.

Jokic has looked unstoppable. He has gotta be the front runner for his 3rd(should be 4th) straight mvp at this point.

 

[UK90]

He’s not only the best passing center of all time …but by a huge margin. Whoever’s number two (I’d say Walton) ain’t even close to the Joker.

Who would you rather have on your team right now?

Jokic>little lebron. Stats don't lie.

I’m going with better than Lebron…

Plus he doesn't flop.
