So….for those of you who think Larry Bird wouldn’t make it in todays league, watch what Jokic is doing in the Western finals…not the fastest, doesn’t outjump anyone….all he does is dominate….Larry Bird personified

So this is my first time actually watching Jokic. It’s funny because he’s slow af, not athletic at all but is still efficient and has both beautiful passes and a nice arcing shot. Never seen anything like it.

But Joel Embiid is the MVP and Jokic is a “stat padder”
Unbelievable. Embiid 100% owes his MVP to Kendrick Perkins

I hope Kendrick Perkins feels good about crying and wining on national television to give Embid the pitty MVP. We all know who the true MVP is. He does too. Joker is the absolute best player in the world. Period.
