If Jokic wins the championship + FMVP this year, can his historical status surpass James?

No one expected that the Nuggets, who were not as strong as others and had frequent civil strife, could defeat the arrogant Thunder in the first game of the second round.

Of course, thunder is not easy to be with. The Nuggets were behind most of the time, but they made a three-pointer in the last two seconds, lucky to reverse the game.

The most critical factor in their winning is not luck, but the team's main player and the mighty Jokic. In this game, Teacher Ai was like a god descending to earth, scoring 42 points and adding 22 rebounds.

Once again, Jokic proved that he was the undisputed first player in active service with his real performance, and even Alexander on the opposite side could not match him.

Some people say: Jokic's performance this season has surpassed James. Indeed, Jokic averaged triple-double per game this season, and even the Heat at the peak, he has never played such explosive data.

Of course, because of different times, comparing who is stronger than Jokic or Heat James is a topic that is difficult to draw conclusions easily. But no matter what, Jokic has reached the level where he can compete with the peak James.

Someone can't help but want to ask: If Jokic successfully wins the championship this season and wins the FMVP (as long as he wins the championship, this is a 99% probability), then can his historical status surpass James?

To discuss a player's historical status, the most important basis for measuring it depends on the accumulation of honors in his career, especially hard-core honors such as MVP, champion, first team, etc.

At present, James' core honors include:

4 MVP, 4 championships, 4 FMVP, 21 All-Stars, 13 Best Team, 5 Best Team, one Scoring King, and one Assistant King.

Pots and pans: 3 All-Star MVPs, 41 Best Monthly, 69 Best Weekly, etc.

In contrast, Jokic has core honors:

3 MVPs, 1 championship, 1 FMVP, 7 All-Stars, 4 Best Team, 0 Best Defense Team, 0 Scoring Kings, and 0 Assist Kings.

Pots and pans: 3 All-Star MVPs, 8 Best Monthly, 17 Best Weekly, etc.

When you see this, you should also understand: Jokic is still lagging behind James in all directions, and the gap is huge.

Of course, Jokic is currently in his peak period and is still reaping various honors. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of his various honors.

At present, it is a bit too early to discuss whether Jokic can surpass James. Even if he successfully won the championship this year, James is still far behind 3MVP, 2 championships and 2FMVP.

Obviously, the conclusion is: Jokic is far from surpassing James.

However, we also have to realize that Jokic was the real ruler of the era after James. Just like Jordan ruled the 1990s, Kobe ruled the 1900s, and James ruled the 1990s, the rulers of the 1920s were not Antetokounmpo, not Tatum, not Alexander, nor Doncic, but Jokic.

He may not be able to surpass James in the end, but he will undoubtedly be among the top ten players in history. If he wins the championship this year, even if he retires on the spot, he will be in the top ten goalkeepers in history.

Below, let's see who can he squeeze out after winning the championship?

First of all, the top three in history - Jordan, James, and Jabbar, are still unshakable. Even if Jokic wins two to three championships, he cannot surpass it.

The fourth place in the NBA official is Magic Johnson, with 3 MVPs in his career, 5 championships, 3 FMVPs, 9 matches, 4 assists, and 12 All-Stars. Jokic can't afford to offend this.

The fifth place is Chamberlain, 4 MVP, 2 championships, 1 FMVP, 7 team-on-one, 7 scoring champion, 11 rebounding champion, 1 assist champion, 13 All-Stars, and 1 historical rebounding champion. Although he has a little championship, he has too many other honors, and Jokic can't afford to offend him.

ranked sixth is Bill Lasser, with 5 MVPs in his career, 11 championships, 3 teams, 4 rebounds, and 12 All-Stars. Although the individual performance is not that explosive, the team is invincible. Jokic should take a detour to this.

ranked seventh is Larry Bird, with 3 MVPs in his career, 3 championships, 2 FMVPs, 9 matches, and 12 All-Stars. His career is a bit short, but he is very efficient at harvesting honors at his peak. Jokic won another championship, but he may surpass it in the future.

ranked eighth with Duncan, 2 MVPs in his career, 5 championships, 3 FMVPs, 10 teams, 8 best teams, and 15 All-Stars. Compared with the peak dominance, the idiot cannot compare to Jokic, but because of the team's record and the long "standby" time, Jokic still cannot surpass it in the short term.

The ninth-ranked Big O, with 1 MVP in his career, 1 championship, 9 matches, 6 assists, and 10 All-Stars. Big O is a tragic figure, with a very dominant personal performance, but his team's record is not good (who made him contemporary with Lacer and Chamberlain?)

Jokic and Big O are already comparable. As long as you win another championship, the collective honor will be surpassed; if you play for a few more years, the personal honor can be discussed. I think it makes sense to squeeze him down.

ranked 10th is Kobe, with 1 MVP in his career, 5 championships, 2 FMVPs, 11 matchups, 9 defenses, 2 scoring champions, and 18 All-Stars. In terms of peak dominance, Kobe has never reached Jokic's current level, but his team honors exceed and his standby time is long.

win another championship and the two are comparable.

To sum up, Jokic is definitely not among the top ten in history at present. Now, it is more appropriate to rank around 20th in history.

If he wins the championship this year and wins the FMVP, then he will have the capital comparable to Kobe and Big O. It is also impossible to rank among the top ten in history.

Of course, this cannot be called transcendence. You have reason to rank him ahead of Kobe and Big O; it makes sense to rank behind.

In addition, compared with another of Curry, the top ten "goalkeepers" in history that are often discussed, Jokic has a similar historical status, and it makes sense that whoever ranks first.

Anyway, it is undisputed to surpass another legendary star, Durant, with two championships and two FMVPs. I also believe that as long as he plays for a long time (don't suffer serious injuries), he will definitely squeeze out Big O or Kobe in the future, at least ranked ninth in history.

Of course, all this is too early. Although I won one game, it is not easy to win. How could the powerful Thunder be surrendered?
