hakeem yes could be, he was a defensive monster too, the only things he lacked against jokic are 3 point shooting and passing.jokic cant play defense of course...
Hakeem and Kareem were extremely skilled and more dominant on BOTH sides of the floor. Thats why I place MJ over LeBron, dominance on both ends of the floor. Jokic is basically a point guard in a center's body and therefore more skilled than any other center offensively, ever.
@@lamonteganaway2322Jordan was DPOY and MVP in the same year (only Giannis and Hakeem share this distinction) 3X steal champ and 9 X all defensive. He is the best defensive shooting guard, ever. You obviously don't know much.
Shaq was dominant because of his massive size and posting up under the basket and slamming it down mercilessly. Jokic is the most skilled big man ever because of being the whole package as a basketball player. His size gives him obvious advantages but his true skills shine because of incredible passing sense as well as on-the-court intelligence where and how to force good plays either himself or with someone else. TLDR: Joker is the most skilled BIG MAN in NBA Ever. Period.
Steven A is so in entitlement that he think just bc of what he think is actually facts. Just bc he is a Shaq guy dont mean that shaq is more skilled than jokic. And i think jokic will make Shaq fallout in the first quarter. No center ever been in that level of been a point center where dont matter what jokic can shoot 3s,mid range,dunk and have hight Q footwork etc.
So what are skills? Shooting, passing, dribbling and handle? Is that fair??? Cause if that’s true then Jokic is the best skilled big man of all time. Maybe Hakeem has an argument but Shaq was a monster and dominant but couldn’t shoot, barely pass and his handle was limited to the post. Different eras for sure but they aren’t close in skill
Jokic is easily the most skilled big man currently, but Hakeem may have been the most well-rounded big man ever. If Jokic get himself another title, we can have a serious conversation.
“Effective in terms of post game”?? Did you see what he did to the DPOY last night. Effective is selling him super short…he’s a beast in the post and that’s just part of his game
If the question involves "IN NBA HISTORY." I hate Stephen A but he's right to bring to the forefront the level of competition. Hakeem, Tim Duncan yes the list goes on that are better then jokic. The thing is players like Jokic have to bring more skills to the table to be in the NBA now.
Jokic is great for today’s game … put him against the 90’s center era guys 😵💫😵💫😵💫 David Robinson shutting him down … no need to get Shaq. He’d have to lose weight and become a power forward or small
@@rlptp Yes, I'm aware of their existence. lol Shaq is the best. Jokic is already the 2nd best. Kareem was a beast but not as good. The other two played against so many white people it's not even fair. 😂 Jk. But seriously tho.
No , Hakeem , Ewing , Robinson , sabonis , rik smits , vlade divac are all more skilled then jokic . Also all those guys competed against one another and also others like shaq , zo , seikaly, Perkins , GM and other great centers in the 90s.
Jokic is not dominant it dont take a doninant 6 years to develop they dominate from jump streep jokic still developing and stilk getting molded hes a system player
The Jokester is a great all around player. But most of you didn't see Wilt Chamberlain play. Wilt would DOMINATE Shaq!!! Shaq could not bench press 325 lbs. Barkley could. Did you see them compete against each other? Barkley was stronger than Shaq! Wilt Chamberlain, could bench press 600 lbs!! He ran the 100 yard dash in 9.7Wilt was both a high jumper and a long jumper. An incredible athlete. Wilt AVERAGED over 50 points for an entire season! He's the all time leader in rebounds. With the Lakers, late in his career, Wilt led the entire N.B.A. in ASSISTS!!! Shaq would have no chance against Wilt. Wilt was 7'1 1/16th inches tall. A 93 inch reach!!! He blocked Kareem's sky hook a few times!!! Come on, Shaq over Wilt? Nope. Now the Joker has a different set of offensive abilities he does better than anyone. Ever see a center pass like the Joker? He can shoot too. The comparison should be Wilt vs Joker....not Shaq. The only person who could stop Wilt.....was Wilt. Finally, Wilt NEVER fouled out of a game. Never!!! I'll say Wilt was the greatest INDIVIDUAL Center ever. Best team CENTER? BILL RUSSELL!!!
As great as jokic is hakeem, wilt, tim duncan, even shaq never were as bad as jokic defensively, and those skills matter as well. Give me the guy who will lock down his man, anybody driving to the rim, and also dominate the offensive end of the court.
@@johnnylee4820 are we specifying that now? Duncan played the 5 alot of his career, he was pretty much a 4 for half his career and a 5 for the back half of his career. Either way, if I'm getting a guy to play the 5 I'm taking Duncan over jokic, and Duncan isn't like Davis where he can't or doesn't want to play the 5, he used to go heads up with Shaq and was 1 of the guys Shaq had trouble with during his peak.
@@johnnylee4820 Duncan also played a similar style to jokic as well, spurs used to live off feeding Duncan in the high post or free throw line and let him run the offense from there, was an elite shooter, had a great offensive skillset in the post and was an elite defender, with very good athleticism, long arms, and elite instincts on both ends of the court. Jokic is great but he also plays in an era of inflated stats where every position is shooting the 3, causing a slight uptick in scoring.
Ewing Shaq Olajuwon David Robinson s*** so bonus with Portland before when he had better knees are better players than jokic they were two-way Defender and offense
Nah...its Hakeem. Jokic has him beat in passing and shooting range but thats it. And Especially when you include defense (because despite popular belief, defense and each component ARE SKILLS just like offense), it's not close. But Jokic is rising up the ranks with a BULLET. His impact can't be denied
You know about basketball. All that hype because he is the best big man currently. People forget quickly. RU-vid IS THERE TO REMIND THEM..AT LEAST FOR SOME HAKEEM KAREEM DUNCAN ...
Jokic is not the most skilled anything. This recency era needs to be stopped. The era is soft and trash. Jokic amongst David Robinson, Shaq, Ewing, Olajuwon,, Garnett, Mourning, Duncan, he’s a double double guy. He would be getting bodied and he’s too soft for that. The NBA is the Euroleague now. It’s all about analytics and entertainment. The game is trash now. Scoring against tough defense determines your game and level. Anything that happens now is the best ever…FOH Were so watered down now it’s ridiculous. Nice try though.
Lol your funny in this era of basketball no way shaq dominant. The fast past of game and the skills of player to dribble and shoot. Shaq stay in his era game and jokic in his era now . Stop the comparison!
@@alexalvarez20784 rings. If shaq play in this era he would not kill anyone because he cant shoot 3s and freethrows. Too slow and too big for fast past of this era he has a bigger chance of getting injured. So stay your shaq in his era do not compare it in this era! And if jokic play in shaq era he would not also dominate because of spacing of the floor and the player cant shoot 3s and cant dribble well.
