    As much as I dislike Jokic as a defensive player. If Giannis is a top 20, so is Jokic.

    Jokic wont win MVP because he isnt black and SGA is.

    Isn’t Shai a point guard 😅, 5,5 assists 😅

    When Shai had Murray what medal did his team get! What did his team win with Murray as the backup!😅 Nada,zilch nothing!! Joker was even in scoring with the dream team, only when he rested, Serbia, little Serbia lost to Voodoo Curry magic,hitting 3 points!! Otherwise, no Curry, Serbia is Olympic god!

    He put your brother down like a rag doll 😅and if you ran into his brothers you’d be nursing a skiing injuries 😅

    When Maurice realizes that Nikola is not interested in all of that… Nikola knows that he is not American, that he is not from Africa and that he was not satisfied with what is being evaluated here….

    this is the first time Perk actually spoke like the NBA player he was ( not all time great but good )

  13. @Hoops-Insider-q1q

    April 3, 2025 at 9:44 pm

    Stephen A says Jokic has already surpassed Patrick Ewing and David Robinson.
    Is Jokic really an all-time great, or just benefiting from a softer, less physical era for big men?

  14. @Dweed87

    April 3, 2025 at 9:46 pm

    Old no name player trying to speak about greatness. 😂 Clown talk.

    Lets make a case to get rid of Perk: He sucks.
    Case closed

    The absolute refusal to give a white basketball player. Credit is fascinating.

    Is Perk the reason lead is banned in paint chips?

  18. @kevintan96

    April 3, 2025 at 10:19 pm

    Embiid more skilled in getting injuries and sitting out games

    Kendrick Perkins-I had a huge role on that team..”Went over there and took em’ over the mountain Top.” Lol! Smh

    How can we even compared this OKC team to KDs. They ain’t even make a conference final yet. Cover the game and stop with these stupid narrative.

  23. @5starathlete804

    April 3, 2025 at 10:54 pm

    Man OKC still don’t know where their points coming from when SGA have a night off.

    Who is this Morris guy?. Was he in the NBA. Jokic is definitely in the top 20 consideration at this point. He’s still young too getting better
