Can Jokic become the goat center
Posted on 4/4/25 at 9:42 pm

I was bored today and I started comparing his stats to some of great centers and I believe he has a very good chance to be the goat center. I'm not sure if he can become the overall all time goat but just going by stats and stats only his #s may end up being better than MJ LeBron Kobe. When people talk about being the goat they always look at how many championships they have won.

Me and my buds were talking about this not long ago. I feel like he may go down as goat but they seem to think him being a foraner may affect voters giving him goat status. I think that being why he doesn't get goat status or nba hall of fame would be LAME!

Joker is quickly approaching any other center the league has ever seen.

He’s not going to play long enough to be in the GOAT arguments (which is unfair, but it is what it is). Decent chance he’s on his final contract and wraps after 27/28
GOAT or not he’s going to be someone we will genuinely miss getting to watch play. He’s completely redefined what a center can be. We’ll be privileged if another player of his skillset ever comes around

I believe if you go by just his stats he has a chance to be the goat but I just don't think he will win enough rings to pass MJ/James. Your avg fan will think that's a insane thing to say but if they compare his stats it may change their mind. He has 2 of the greatest games of all time this season. A 60pt triple double and a 30 20 20 game

He's not going to win enough rings for most people. Denver has failed spectacularly at building a roster around him.
Saw this stat earlier which is pretty crazy:
Most Career Wins (including playoffs) without an All Star teammate all time:
Nikola Jokic 493
Ben Gordon 331
Shareef Abdur-Rahim 277
Trae Young 228

He is only 30 yrs old unless he starts having knee injuries I think he play 7-8 more yrs

I believe the public over value rings when they start talking about the goat MJ /James both played with other HOFers.

Seems like the dude hates basketball and just wants to chill in his home country, where he’s a king.

Can Jokic become the goat center
The Center debate is always easy with Jabar playing so long and being so good. I mean he won 6 rings, 6 MVPs, 18 all stars and was all pro 15 times. Plus he retired as the all time leading scorer. It's just hard to put any other Center over him. He went up against other monster Centers too, like Wilt and Moses, and usually usually got the better of them. It would take a ridiculous ending for Jokic to surpass him.
In my lifetime, since I started watching basketball in the 80s (Jabar was good but not dominant when i saw him) I'd say Jokic is a top 5 Center during that time. But not the best. My top 5 Centers I've watched would go..
1. Duncan
2. Shaq
3. Olajuwon
4. Jokic
5. Giannis
Both Jokic and Giannis could finish at the top easily. But they need more hardware. I don't see either one getting more than one more ring though..

1 and 5 weren't/arent centers.
Kareem had the best total career at center. Wilts peak was and will forever be unmatched statistically. Dude averaged 38 points and 27 rebounds for his rookie season. Then in 61-62 averaged over 50 points and 25 rebounds in the same season. Led the league in assists one year as well. That doesn't count blocks which weren't wasn't kept up with then.
All that said the game has never seen a point center with a basketball IQ like this. He's the most skilled big man ever and it ain't close.
