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

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.

Look, I didn’t say he’d surpass Kareem just that he’d be right up there with those guys. Fringe Top 3 C depending on who you got.

The thing about Joker never see before at C is the playmaking at passing. Kareem, Wilt, Hakeem just scored, rebounded, and blocked. Jokic does those things too, minus the blocks but still plays great defense not seen on the stats, but also adds a point guard playmaking aspect.

Those others, if you shut down their scoring, their teams were in trouble. That’s not the case with Joker, cause he still creates to get his teammates going.
