Do you think the title is true or false? In my opinion, I think Jokic clears Wilt Chamberlain offensively. Wilt is probably the better scorer due to the records but skill wise, Jokic clears him via the eye test with his insane skill gap and that compensates for Wilt’s athleticism gap. Nothing more to say on playmaking because Jokic is easily the greatest playmaking big of all time.
Does Jokic’s efficiency and skill gap offset Wilt’s record breaking numbers and athleticism or do you think Wilt is just better offensively?
When you factor in Pace of the game, Wilt seems a lot more down to earth.

I do think that all said and done, Jokic will be up there as one of the best offensive players ever. Is he already up there ? I want to say yes.
If you factor in pace for one stat, you have to factor it for every other stat, otherwise our context of stats gets watered down. If you use it once for comparision, you have to multiply every single stat every taken by a pace modificator.
Rodney McGruder didnt scored 3 points tonight, but 3 times X.
Adjusting for pace is stupid as fuck.
For most of his career, Wilt was averaging twice the possessions that Jokic played this past year.
Per possession isn’t really a fair comparison.
