Jokić Just Turned 30—Why His Peak Is Unmatched | HHT 46
In the second part of the forty-sixth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, Geoff and XJ dive deep into Nikola Jokic's historic offensive season and what it means for the GOAT debate. Could he one day challenge LeBron and Jordan for the title of the greatest? The numbers say he’s on pace to be closer than you think. Jokic is on track to have the most dominant offensive prime in NBA history and yet no one seems to be talking about it. We’re breaking it all down, from his absurd 45% three-point shooting on career-high volume to his career-high assist percentage to go along with his career-low turnover percentage to his record-shattering LEBRON, EPM, and BPM metrics. But it’s not just Jokić—the Denver Nuggets are rolling right now. Key Topics: 🔸 Record-Breaking Metrics – Jokic ranks top 3 in offensive impact ever, only behind 2016 Steph Curry. 🔸 GOAT Debate Shift? – Could Jokić’s pre-30 peak put him in the conversation with Jordan & LeBron? 🔸 What’s Next? – If this continues into his 30s, Jokić could be the overall NBA GOAT. 🔸 Nuggets’ Dominance – Winners of eight straight games, is Denver now in the top tier of contenders in the West? 🔸 Supporting Cast Heating Up – Murray is looking more like himself again and Michael Porter Jr. was playing some of the best basketball of his career before going down. 🔸 Christian Braun’s Emergence – The young wing is actualizing into a critical piece of Denver’s future. No matter who’s on the floor, as long as Jokić is in the game, the Nuggets are dominating, proving that his offensive impact is simply unstoppable. 🔥 Drop a comment—Are the Nuggets a top title contender?
