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?
Impossible to say, if we say Nikola Jokic and Wilt were both born in the 30’s, and had access to the exact same gyms, workouts, lack of 3pt lines, nutrition we would have no idea what Nikola would look like. He may be in better shape, since food wasn’t nearly as unhealthy in the 50’s. He also wouldn’t have access to the trainers, watching training and nutrition videos on the internet, decades of role models that he would have shaped his game after etc.
