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

These idiots need to stop comparing these players and let them have their own identity itās getting ridiculous and thatās 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 ā āhe doesnāt make his teammates betterā
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 heās not a great player, heās a role player. He wishes that he could be in jokers realm. Joker runs Denverās whole offense!

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.
