No offense but in general European players (except Giannis) do not have the fan base that American players have.
No one is sitting home hoping that Jokic wins a championship, so naturally there are no strong requirements for him to do so. Who is talking about his legacy? Not that he doesn’t have one, but the fans generate these conversations.

It’s not even that many European players in the NBA at that level where we can say that though. He put Joker on the list. Y’all reaching.

Luka not on the list cuz he’s relatively young but Tatum is the same age and number 3. Not to mention Tatum is ranked above the back to back to back MVP. Draymond was 100 percent right and Stephen A should accept the feedback.

The question is why it makes sense for Tatum to be over Jokic.

Ring culture has ruined the NBA. It’s a TEAM game. Winning a championship takes 10-12 guys on the roster to contribute. This isn’t tennis or golf. Jokic hasn’t underperformed in any series. Hold people accountable for their individual standard.

This is dumb because Jokic’s name will get dragged if he doesn’t make it to the finals this year. Nobody is giving passes to joker and also CP3 is a decade older. If joker has no championship 10 years from now he would face more criticism than CP3.

Joining a team that was 73-9 the season prior is still the weakest cheat code of all time. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Draymond is right. One thing he’s not considering is that European guys usually don’t come in the league with the ability and expectation of leading a team to a chip. The only one I can think of is Dirk because when he came he was such a ridiculous matchup nightmare…even with the knock on him being a bit timid. They always said that if he could toughen up he could get a chip. Noone said Giannis, Luca, Joker etc could do so when the came in the league. Luca had the most hype and was the most talented right from the start but Noone thought or thinks he can lead a team to a chip

I believe age and context play a role. CP3 is in his late 30s and has been on 3 teams that we’re legit contenders with multiple allstars/Hofers and made 1 Finals. Harden was an MVP and also has played with multiple allstars on legit contenders as well and hasn’t made a Finals since OKC. Jokic is about to be a 3x consecutive MVP and has only made the WCF once in the bubble. Tatum is a top tier player who’s on BOS and has had a few season which they were legit contenders and failed. Luka is young and hasn’t had a team really until now.

Jokic is Perk’s nightmare. I bet he talks about him every single day.
Average former player talks about pressure and stats padding.
I wonder how many triple doubles he had during his entire career.
Criticizing Jokic who has best NBA season it’s crazy.
His narrative is obvious.
As a team sport player Jokic is doing what he supposed to do, playing for the team and leading them.

Perk always looking for excuse for the brothaaas…
Jokic is the only star in his team, going up against teams with 2-3 stars.
SAS running out of time is in point….+ these guys played with teams w/ 1-2 other stars.
