Yes, his guard type skill is incredible for a center. However, I would suggest his ability to run the floor an entire game combined with that skill is a what makes him so uniquely great. Is it the altitude advantage?
Meanwhile, Embiid has similar great skill for a center but gets winded using the bathroom. Thus is injury prone because you’re more likely to get injury when your tired.
I think it's his style of play that keeps him injury free. You notice he seldom jumps much. He just uses his size, strength, positioning and footwork to get rebounds and score. A lot of jumping will get you injured, especially for a big man.

Yes he preserves his energy very well. You see a lot of guys jumping out of the gym because they have to for any advantage, but Jokic is so good in other aspects that he can afford to preserve stamina. I know LeBron James was on EPO in the past with the Lakers (and HGH also with the Heat) but James did play 41 minutes of 48 last night, although he played essentially all 48 a few playoff games last year due to his EPO use. EPO cam actually be a huge advantage for some nba guys to play effectively in 4th quarter and be on the court more instead of the lower quality reserve players.
The two best NBA players are white, the best woman's basketball player is white ( not that anyone cares) and the best country musician is a black female. End times may be upon us.
There have been plenty of scrubs playing for Denver over the years. This is the only really good Denver team there has been in the NBA. They had Dan Issel and later Mutombo but success in the NBA was short-lived. Jokic was the unusual player who started to work much harder after having initial success in the league. Embiid is a great player who just cannot stay healthy because his footwork is extremely awkward and it always has been. I have seen people talking about his great footwork but if you actually watch, you'll see that he is an injury waiting to happen on every single play.

I think these are all debatable except the country music take. Beyonce is no where close to the best country musician.

Trust me you don't want to debate me. I'm a masterdebator.
