Funny you say that cause I've thought about that recently with some of his interviews.

Obviously any dude on this level retiring early would be a shock, but I could see a world in 2-3 seasons where he's just like, "yea, I'm good, I'm gonna head back to Serbia now"

I'm not saying that everyone who uses the name "Stan" is a cocksucker, but I guarantee theyve all kept a penis in their mouth til the swelling went down.

Could 100% see Jokic retiring in a few years just because. I hope he at least gives us all of his prime years.

This place and it's takes sometimes.


What an awful take.

But Jokic 2022 is absolutely in that conversation.


What are his numbers versus a 2009-2016 Lebron at his most statistically dominant?

Obviously different styles, but are the numbers close?

It's tough to compare them. Lebron in his prime could guard 1-4 and play 1-4. Jokic just dominates centers and PFs. He'd look like an idiot trying to do what Lebron does.

Oof. Is Lebron 4-10 in the championship series?

He has the killer instinct crybaby Lebron wishes he had, that’s for sure.

This board has a very weird obsession with Lebron James


It’s not just here. It’s the internet. Either they slob his knob or do whatever they can to trash him. He brings it on himself a lot from his social media posts.

Lebron was a better individual player. He could take over a game.

Jokic is a better team player. He makes his team much much better.

Jokic this postseason: 30ppg/13.5rbg/9.5apg with a TS% of. 701, 31.5 PER, and .308 WS/48.

I'd argue 2014 was Lebron's best postseason: 27.4/7.1/4.8 with a .668 TS%, 31.0 PER and .269 WS/48

LeBron has a few more to choose from. Some more counting stats but worse efficiency. Jokic has both it seems this postseason.

And while Jokic proved to be a capable defender, Lebron was elite in the postseason during those years.

Imagine thinking playing in the Finals 10 times with 4 titles is an "oof" stat.

Lebron was a monster in 2018.

Okay so he's made it 10 times and won 4. That poster made it sound like he was there 14 times and only won 4.
