   Category SGA/FTA Nikola Jokić
   *JOKIC LEADS IN EVERY STAT! ALMOST BY DOUBLE! Fta only leads in one because he’s a flopper, points!*
   PPG *32.7* *29.6*
   APG 6.4 *10.2*
   RPG 5.0 *12.7*
   FTA *8.8* *6.4*
   FG% 51.9% *57.6%*
   So it’s clear FTA isn’t as needed as Jokic, and is not the MVP in any sense. Adam Silver decided it’ll look better for SGA’s resume for him to win MVP and a Chip, and that Jokic has enough MVP’s.

   The Thunder outscore by 17.0 points per 100 possessions with FTA on the floor, vs 5.0 points when he was off.
   The Nuggets outscored by 11.1 points per 100 possessions with Jokić on the floor vs 9.5 points when he was off, highlighting an even more substantial impact.

   I will never understand why Draymond as an ACTIVE player gets to commentate, analyze and interview other active players. Just feels wrong

   SGA is ahead over Jokic in every advanced metric actually (not counting outdated basketball reference stats). Shai is ahead in eRAPTOR, eRAPTOR WAR, EPM, EWA, LEBRON, LEBRON WAR, MAMBA, Actual DARKO, etc.

   The fact that Shai is ahead in this rate stats comfortably (like EPM, LEBRON) DESPITE Jokic playing 7% more minutes means Shai is actually blowing away over Jokic in the advanced stats department.
   Oh by the way Shai outplayed Jokic in the playoffs.

   OKC without Shai: -5
   Den without Jokic: -16
   OKC with Shai: +68
   Den with Jokic: -47

   Shai had a +23 on/off in the Nuggets series meanwhile Jokic was a -10. Shai also beat him in every advanced metric (not talking about basketball reference outdated stats).

   It’s 2025. Stop using basic stats. You are getting clowned on other websites with actual stat majors like RealGM.

     Congrats u cherry-picked the WORST and UNRELIABLE advanced metrics out there. 
     The only advanced metrics that matter is: 
     VORP: Jokic 9.8 (1st), SGA 8.9 (2nd) 
     BPM: Jokic 13.3 (1st), SGA 11.5 (2nd)
     PER Jokic 32.0 (1st), SGA 30.7 (2nd)
     and even regular stats when you take out FT discussion just look at shooting efficiency…
     eFG% Jokic is 7th in league with 62.7%. SGA is 40th with 56.9%
