New King In Town: Nikola Jokic RIPS LeBron’s Crown

New King In Town: Nikola Jokic RIPS LeBron’s Crown

Well the Denver Nuggets just wrapped up their 30th win of the season a 113 104 victory over the Washington Wizards and Nico joic posted a cool 42 points 12 rebounds and eight assists on 15 of 20 shooting in 36 minutes this game coming on the heels of their big win at Boston

A 102 100 Thriller which handed the Celtics their first home loss of the season yic with for him a mere pedestrian 34 points 12 rebounds and nine assists in that one and the ongoing assault yic has been delivering nightly for basically four straight years and counting requires some further

Examination and it begs the question of why this guy isn’t being appreciated more amid an era of mass media hot taking Copans who are quick to drool over the efficiency of certain players LeBron’s been the best player ever since about Midway point of game six of last year’s finals

And all he’s done since then is continued them the statistical individual dominance yic has displayed since the 2020 2021 season is approaching inhuman status as his near machine likee efficiency is quite frankly something we have never seen so if Advanced stats is your thing and your

Be all and end all it’s time for this guy’s teammates to start coronating him with some goat sounds in the locker room and crowning his ass nightly maybe he should start traveling with a pair of live goats everywhere he goes and calling himself the king if LeBron James

Was amid the 4-year run this guy was on the Statue of him surfing a cloud naked hurling lightning bolts outside of ESPN’s head quarters in Bristol Connecticut would have already been erected pun intended and actually LeBron was on this kind of a run well sort of and it was coincidentally the same

4-year span from an age standpoint as yic is doing it currently and it was during those exact Four Seasons that the media’s manufactured goat commentary really started uh heating up I’m drenched I’m drenched in sweat instead yic just gets slandered by ESPN’s hot takers and is well on his way to being

Passed over for another League MVP over the last four seasons yic is aged 25 through 28 years he is now averaging 26 points 12 rebounds and nine assists on 59% shooting and an effective field goal percentage of 62% during Shaquille O’Neal’s same four-year stretch he led the league in field goal percentage

Every season with an average of just 58% but over that stretch of time from the 1997 98 season and running through the 20201 league year O’Neal attempted five total three-pointers in 262 games played Nicole yic during this stretch is averaging over three three-point attempts per game the rate

Of shooting efficiency he is displaying is preposterous in fact the rate of efficiency in general is absolutely mindblowing and as this term efficiency has become a buzzword to the ignorant gen zers populating various social media platforms as a way to hoist up their Idols while denigrating Superior players

That had the misfortune of playing in far less efficient eras allow me to introduce to you your new goat and in that aforementioned four-year span for LeBron during his aged 25 through 28 Seasons many would consider him to have been in the heart of his absolute prime

And the best 4-year span of his career this was the 200920 NBA season his final in Cleveland and running through the 2012 2013 season his third in Miami during this 4-year span of time LeBron won three League MVP awards and many believe the 2010 2011

MVP that went to Derek Rose also in fact actually belonged to LeBron this is despite that very season LeBron destroying the competitive balance of the NBA and rigging the league when he amassed an unbeatable super team with three top 12 to 15 players at that time in a historically putrid Eastern

Conference all to finish with just the third best record in the NBA That season this is wild 22-year-old Derrik Rose had the best record in the league with a roster whose best two players outside of Rose himself were lual Deng and Carlos booer but yeah LeBron totally got

Cheated that year and why is that a common narrative these days because of stats of course we’re talking again about Advanced stats nicoa yic is on Pace to win 31 Advanced crowns during this 4-year span as compared to the 27 Advanced crowns BS LeBron won during his

Stretch and this is while joic has had an average player efficiency rating of 31.9 and a box plus minus of 13.2 both of which dwarf LeBron’s PE of 3.1 and BPM of 10.6 during his 4-year run while the advanced analytics movement was started in general as a way to hoist

Certain players above others LeBron has never been able to surpass the actual goat Michael Jordan in these efficiency metrics as Mike has always been number one all time in player efficiency rating James was never able to overtake him at any stage of his entire 21-year career and counting but don’t look now Nicole

Yic is the all-time PE King at this time uh-oh he is also the all-time leader in box plus minus and oh wind share per 48 minutes also number one now all time so if you’ve been building your case for certain players based on these various efficiency based metrics it’s time to

Change the conversation to a different player and anoint a new king for those of us who actually care about pesky little things like winning championships as an important metric yic is not quite there yet although with another championship this season there is no doubt that it will be time to start some difficult

Conversations

LeBron’s fraudulent hold on his fake GOAT title has gotten MUCH more tenuous with the RISE of Nikola Jokic.
