शीर्ष पर सबसे कमजोर कौन?

अंतिम शीर्ष प्रदर्शन की तुलना

मैंने प्रीमियर लीग के क्लबों के प्ले-बाय-प्ले डेटा का 5 साल से प्रशोधन किया —अब मैं NBA महानों पर ही प्रयुक्त करता हूँ।आज: 4 महान—ड्वाइट हॉवर्ड, जोएल एम्बिड,एंथनी डेविस,और निकोला Jokić—में से कौन ‘वास्तव में’ सबसे कमजोर है?

यह popularity ya highlight reels पर मतलब है —इसका घटति (defensive efficiency), आक्रामक (offensive load), अधिकतम (possession value) —और game ko kaise badal deta hai?

हाँ —थोड़ा dry humour bhi hoga। Kyunki koi bhi professional analysis ko sahi nahi keh sakta jis mein apne bias ka mazak na ho.

हॉवर्ड - ‘दि রिम’ ka Raja (Lekin Stats ki King Nahi)

2010–2013 में, हॉवर्ड architectural marvels thi। 5-बार All-NBA Defensive First Team। Duaar Defensive Player of the Year।उसने 4s aur 5s ko jaise aag se bhagna hua samajha tha—kyunke woh aag thi!

Lekin yahan numbers ne uski zid kardi: uska offensive contribution? Chalo bolte hai ki woh isolation me 25 points per game nahi banata tha।Uski true shooting percentage prime me 50% se niche reh gaya —bina ghatayi ke rebounding.

Toh jab tak wo vertically dominant tha—blocks jo stop-motion physics jaise lage—the lateral impact offense me kam thi Embiid ya Jokić ke comparison me.

Sanket: Wo defense ko anchor kar raha tha lekin offense ko Embiid ya Jokić ki tarah nahi elevate kiya.

Embiid vs Davis – Modern Dominance ke Twin Towers

Joel Embiid (2021–2023): career-best PERs >30. Win shares per 48 minutes me leadership. Anthony Davis? New Orleans prime (2016–2019): avg. >17 rebounds + 3 blocks/game. Three-point shooting league average se behtar. a rare combo for big men. Dono elite defenders aur efficient scorers—they both paired ball-handlers with Jrue Holiday. So if peak impact based purely on stats? Deeper analytics chahiye—jaise defensive real plus-minus ya net rating differential jab wo court par hota hai. Lekin broadly speaking—they both check every box except longevity.

Jokić – Mortals ke Bich ek Statistical Alien

Nikola Jokić ne pure skill architecture ke through center ka MVP level redefine kiya —athleticism ke alawa. He leads in assists by a center since at least 1978 (per Basketball Reference). In fact, he ranks among top-5 all-time in single-season passing volume from post position—even though most centers don’t pass under pressure. The usage rate? ~30%. But his true shooting percentage routinely exceeds 64%. That means he scores efficiently while creating opportunities for others—in ways no other big man has matched before—or likely ever will. Even against zone defenses or double-teaming him constantly? The dude still posts triple-doubles monthly like clockwork—as if it’s normal to have a career-high assist total at age 30+ without being a traditional point guard. This isn’t dominance—it’s structural evolution of basketball itself.

Toh Akhir Mein Koi Weakest Hai?

The weakest player… when all are at their peak? If we measure by holistic influence across defense + offense + leadership + advanced metrics—the answer leans toward Dwight Howard—not because he was bad—but because his impact was more limited. Theer was dominant defensively but rarely transformed teammates’ performance like Jokić did—or carried entire offenses like Embiid did during stretch runs. Davis came close—but even he had lower offensive versatility than Embiid/Jokić due to injury-prone habits early on. The gap is razor-thin. We’re comparing titans here—not mere mortals. And honestly? If you asked me which one would dominate in an elimination series? I’d pick Jokić without hesitation. Not because others are weak—but because one guy redefines what “strong” even means.
