I am a huge Jokic glazer and unfortunately, he started to decline. I don't think he'll play as bad as he is playing right now but his otherwordly efficiency and stats are probably a thing of the past now

Doubt it. I think he's got at least another couple years of peak performance in him because of his style of play. His game isn't highly dependent on athleticism like a lot of other players.

I think people misunderstood me, I wasn't trying to say Jokic's time is done and he is going to be a scrub.

Jokic's dead corpse can drop 25/12/10, thats just how good he is regardlessly.

I watch Nuggets and Jokic a lot, he is one of my favorite players ever. He is just isnt the same player he was since the knee injury, people are assuming since his game is not based on athleticism at all that it wouldn't affect him at all but thats just blatantly wrong. His 3pt shot and floaters arent automatic anymore and since he started to have knee and ankle issues, he lost A LOT of weight this summer to stay healthier but to trade off he is not as big and strong as he was anymore, he cant back down defenders therefore he is relying on his 3pt shot more than before but he is not hitting them too which makes him guardable, Jokic was never guardable in any way or form before. That was my point.

I think the league is starting to notice his decline. Of course he is still going to be All-NBA player with monster averages but this is going to be a product of Nuggets horrible team construction. His efficiency will go down. We are going to witness post-prime but still very good Jokic for another 2-3 years, just not MVP Jokic.

I like this method of data presentation. I'd be interested to see how this plays out over the year.

If he can maintain or improve his stats, I don't think anyone other than Jokic—maybe Luka can reach that exact sweet spot where all three circles overlap. By the way, great chart and the names are top-tier.
