As of 1/30/2023, Nikola Jokic is now averaging a triple double on over 25 ppg/11 rebounds/10 assists. He is now shooting over 63% and is the first player ever with a .700 TS% on over 10 shots per game in a single season (and he averages over 15 shots per game). Of players scoring over 20ppg he is second of all time in 2 point fg% in a season at over 67%, only surpassed by Chamberlain who shot above 68% in 1966-1967

Oh but what's this? Chamberlain shot 44% from free throws that season. Jokic shoots 82.5% from FT and 38.8% from three. And 40% of Jokic's shots are 3-10 feet away from the basket where he shoots nearly 64%!

My most recent basketball opinion stems from the 1990s rivalry between the Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls. As a junior jazz child soldier I just kinda got taught the gospel of Karl "The Mailman" Malone and John "The Next Larry Bird" Stockton. Do I need any updates to my basketball lore?

I hope the sixers can show up tonight against the magic

the Monday night game was an understandable loss after nets/ nuggets

In 4 seasons Nikola Jokic has ZERO conference championships, 885 turnovers. He has started 0-1 in 3 of his first 4 playoff games. His teammates hate him. He’s terrible for chemistry. He has no heart no desire to win. he is 16-25 vs teams over 500. Sixers are 22-8 in their last 30 games with Joel Embiid

the last time jokic and Denver was good (the bubble ) was when Denver had a center

not a coincidence

Ah good, the rocky mountainholms still produces b-ball players. I thought the church ball courts were abolished after Charles Barkley performed the chaos dunk for Inside the NBA

Yes, thank you NBA thread and euphronius. I will read the Wikipedia on K Irving. Ol guy is in town and he likes talking basketball in a metaphorical spiritual character kinda way.
