Lebron has had help since he left Cleveland the first time. Even as a Laker he has better supporting cast than Jokic.

I actually agree with perk… i never thought I’d say that. Jokic the only one getting tired?

These idiots need to stop comparing these players and let them have their own identity it’s getting ridiculous and that’s another reason why the NBA failing

The difference is really simple. Lebron has hand picked the roster around him every year for the last decade.

LeBron haters do be hating on the greatness of LeBron James .
when his teammates play poorly, they will blame LeBron, & say – “he doesn’t make his teammates better”
but they dont say that same thing with Jokic when his teammates play poorly, they will straight blame his teammates for the loss, & give Jokic pass lol

Perk is jealous cause he’s not a great player, he’s a role player. He wishes that he could be in jokers realm. Joker runs Denver’s whole offense!

And that’s why they only got one ring & about to lose to OKC . Jokic won’t win another ring. His jewelry collection is mad thin … LMAO!

Why are we talking about LeBron? Who cares? He got knocked off in round 1. Can’t wait till he finally retires. Sick of that mf. There’s only one number 23 that’s ever mattered.

Jokic is tired, whoever is not gonna be tired playing basketball? And he is still doing great, he really just need more help from his team, does he deserve criticism? No, look at his output, it is not his fault that they lost game 5.

Does Perk have a “team” behind the scenes to come up with the most asinine takes? Or is this just satire by Perk?

It’s not Sam Presty its the players they had good players but it just didn’t work… and give credit to the rest of the league and there opponents… let’s not act like golden state didn’t beat okc back from 3-1 against Russ & KD … that’s Sam presty fault they blew a 3-1 lead to go the finals ??
