Shaping up to be a fascinating career for Zion.  Missed 258 games in 6 years (has only played 214)...but when he's played he's been REALLY good.  Has averaged 25 PPG for his career and been efficient in doing so.  He was averaging 25/7/4 this year.  But he just can't stay healthy, has a style of play/movement that is super hard on his body, and certainly doesn't give the impression of being fastidious about his body and fitness.

I think Zion and Paul George have some kind of inside bet going on. Embiid is trying to get in on the action, though.

Sterling Sharpe wasn't chronically injured. He just had one, really bad genetic condition.

Fascinating is a word for it. It's a shame, really. The guy has immense talent but ...

Even with T  he e incredible numbers by SGA and Giannis, Jokic is hands down MVP.

So I guess the NBA is "investigating" a gesture Ja Morant made yesterday towards the Dubs bench.  This one should be interesting.

I saw that. Crazy that a guy goes for 52 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals, and a block...and it isn't even the best performance of the day.

Jokic is out of this world.

I really enjoy watching peak Ja play.  He's surprisingly great with young fans at games, patient/kind/attentive, that I can speak to from 3 different experiences from 3 kids ranging 7-12 from families that I know (including my nephew)

...by my god he's an idiot that just doesn't learn.  And for the stupidest fake gangsta nonsense.  Probably not the best idea when your numbers are down and you're no longer the best player on your team, much less a tier 1 NBA star

Anybody who knows anything about basketball history would include Wilt, Russell and Kareem on any list of 5 all-time greatest centers. Most also would include Shaq.

Is there anyone else who could possibly keep Jokic out of the top 5? Olajuwon maybe? Moses?

In his day, Duncan usually was considered a power forward FWIW.

At this spot moment in time, you could maybe argue Hakeem and Moses, but Jokic is still 30, he'll BLOW by them shortly.  He doesn't play in an overly athletic or explosive manner, so his game should age amazingly (provided he doesn't just decide to retire and hang with his horses before 35).  If he truly decides to play another 5-7 years, he'll have at least another MVP, another 5-6 ASG appearances, another 3-4 first team all NBA.
