If Nikola Jokic continues on his pace, where would he rank all time?

Let’s say, knock on wood, Nuggets go back to back with Joker winning his 3rd MVP in 4 years and back to back Finals MVP.
He should’ve 3 peated btw and everybody knows it but that’s besides the point.
He’s unanimously known as the best passing big of all time. Has 106 career triple doubles, 92 behind Westbrook for most all time as a fricking center. He’ll catch him before he retires too.
He runs point, see the court better than anyone, and scores when he wants to.
Right now he’s at a career average of 20, 10, and 6. But last 3 years is 25.6, 11, and 8. With a playoff average of 27, 12, and 7.
Will he in your eyes, with another 4-5 years of this play, supplant (insert your opinion) for top 3 C of all time and top 15 player of all time?
In my eyes, and I’m a homer, he’s only lacking the hardware to catch Kareem, Wilt, and Hakeem. He’s already a better all around player considering his passing and 3 point shooting.

Wow…. No, it’ll take a lot more than that to catch the guys you’ve mentioned and more.

He’d be better than poo poo Lebron that’s for sure.

It's pretty wild to say that Jokic is only lacking the hardware to catch Kareem considering Kareem had better stats across the board at the same age AND was a dominating force into his forties.

This is the problem with parity. Some poverty franchise gets a title and their fans go crazy.

Top 10 for sure. I don’t know, that seems low under this assumption. I’ve never seen a player so dominate, yet make it so easy to not even realize how much he was dominating in a particular game.

That would a top 10 PEAK. But if you want to compare him to Kareem then he would have to continue playing at an All NBA level for longer than that. You cant talk Kareem without talking about the longevity of his greatness. Nobody other than Lebron has been able to match Kareem in terms of how long they were able to remain one of the top players in the NBA.
Hakeem is the greatest defensive big of all time, and the way Jokic plays defense doesn't show up as much on the stat sheet. I don't think it's fair to either player to compare them to each other.
As far as Wilt, obviously Jokic will never be able to catch Wilt in scoring and rebounds. But I would personally take Jokic over Wilt. Wilt was a physical freak of nature who could still be an all-star level player today, but we have to be realistic about the level of competition he faced. During his prime his only contemporary was Bill Russell, who routinely got the better of Wilt. And Wilt just didn't have the championship mentality or drive, he folded like a warm towel on the big stage when it mattered.

What? LeBron is a top 5 player all time and arguably number 2. Question was whether Joker could get in the top 15 which he isn’t even close to now.

For sheer dominance, he’s the GOAT if he keeps this up

True. Something Lebron never did

I doubt he continues this pace. Dude seems like a poster child for "will retire early/on time"

LeBron isn’t “arguably” 2 lol. He’s the best player of all time and only Jordan would be “greater” although certainly not better. Everyone here clearly showing that they don’t know ball.

He probably won’t play the game forever. He doesn’t even really seem to like basketball that much lol

Wilt averaged 28ppg and 28rpg vs Russell. Tell me again how Russell got the best of him.
