Per 36 through their age 29 season:

Bird: 22.6p, 9.9r, 5.6a, 55.8% TS
Jokic: 24.6p, 12.4r, 8.1a, 63.7% TS

It looks like they made the right choice.

And that's with Ag, Jokic, and Jamal only playing in a third of the games together.

Jokic will likely reach these thresholds while playing 11000 fewer minutes than Larry Bird.

You clearly haven't heard of the Renaissance in the classic Tetris scene.

Honestly lackluster imo

My interactions with Embiid fans have been ones of defending him relentlessly, my interactions with Kawhi fans have generally at least gotten some recognition of the injury issues.

I'd say the difference for Kawhi was that PG was also hurt quite a bit which diffused the criticism across 2 guys.

I guess I'm just tired of injury excuses when at this point we have to just take the injuries as a given.

Then he shouldn't be playing, he's not helping anyone by going out there when he's not ready.
