Anthony Davis literally leaves every game with some injury lol

Not sure if he's as worse as Porzingis or much worse in terms of availability lol
Davis has played in more games and minutes per game this year.

I think so. In terms of bigs I only have Kareen, Wilt, Bill, and Shaq ahead of him. There are valid arguments for and against Joker vs Shaq and it's always hard and subjective comparing players from different eras because the rules, play styles and competition/strength of league are all different but while I think he's a better all round player than Shaq, Shaq has four rings and at his prime was unstoppable. Jokic has many more tools in his toolkit to try and beat you than Shaq, but the one or two tools Shaq had were almost impossible to counter. I know Hakeem won one more ring than Jokic has but I'm putting Jokic ahead of him, and Hakeem is my personal fave center ever  :police:
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Hakeem is better than Shaq.  Im not sure they've are really that close.

I still have Jokic behind Moses.  Different type of player, but Moses always seems to be forgotten in the all time lists. Of course I have Moses in the 13-15 range all time so I'd probably have Jokic in the back end of the top 20.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

For the last 5 seasons, including 2025-26, Jokic has pretty much averaged a triple-double, while being the best player on a wining team.  He at times puts up Wilt'ian numbers in an era where you just don't see that.  I have Jokic right there with any Center ever, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem, whoever.

It is hard to define a clear #1 for players from such different eras.  Trying to compare Wilt or Russell to Jokic is just really hard.  But I don't think you could beat this top 5 team:

C   Jokic
PF  Russell
F    Bird
G   Jordan
PG Magic

(Yes, I have Russell as my PF, in the KG, Duncan mold of the PF).

You could argue for LeBron or Kareem or Kobe or Duncan to be on this list, and that would be fair.  But this would be my all time team.  Maybe the 2nd team is:

C    Kareem
PF   Duncan
F     Lebron
G    Kobe
PG  Robertson

And this team would not be all that far behind, if at all.  I think the biggest gap would be Magic over Robertson.
