I simply do not understand Modern - Doncic vs Mantle

Jokic. His numbers, at his age, are unreal.

Agree. The Joker just keeps getting better. For a guy that plays below the rim it is crazy to see how much he controls the game. He could get another MVP this year, although Giannis and Shai are having amazing years as well.

I'm not sure how significant the EFF stat is at the end of the day, but Jokic is just crushing everyone else even Giannis. 10.6 assists per game so far, that's absurd for a big man.

And at the same time leading the league in RBD and 2nd in points. I'm in a fantasy league and he's just head and shoulders above everyone else. Also shows people who don't understand how someone like Larry Bird could've dominated back in the day

It's a really significant stat, especially when used in conjunction with the +/- number.

Crazy ... just crazy ... and only in his second season ...

For many I think acquiring/investing in cards of contemporary players -- especially basketball -- is part of being a fan.
It's a different inspiration that collecting vintage cards. Buying a card of Doncic, Jokic, or Josh Allen is way of rooting for them and "betting" on their success during the season. Nothing like building a T206 set, or trying to pick up cards of every hall of famer from their careers

Honestly, he could win a sort of triple crown this season (points, rebounds, assists) which isn't a thing only because no one's ever done it.
