  1. Became so good and is only improving, you may stop him for a couple of weeks but once he returns his dominance is still undeniable, MVP x5

  2. Let's all mention the 800 lb gorilla in the room, if Jokic was a black man with these numbers he would be hailed as the greatest basketball player that ever lived with probably four or five back-to-back MVPS. THERE, I said it.

  3. His game doesn't rely on athleticism so injuries like that won't affect his effectiveness that much.
