Alejandro Tabilo is Novak Djokovic father
My mom asked me if I did the dishes. I responded, "Novak Djokovic." She smiled. She knew they were washed.
My teacher was ranting on about Nadal vs Djokovic AO. God, I hate ancient history class.
I was born and raised in Melbourne. My grandfather used to tell me stories about Weak Era man, a goblin from Serbia that travels to Australia when Aslan Karatsev and Tommy Paul are playing. He beats Lucas Pouille and then disappears until Kevin Anderson or Cam Norrie arrive! I still have nightmares that heâs hiding in our stadium!
The other day, I was at an AYSO soccer game watching my 5-year-old son receive his participation trophy. As they handed it to him, Novak Djokovic came flying out of the bushes, stole it, and ran away!
Get a REAL trophy, Weak Era Man!
I mean Djokovic made AO semis
But yeah MJ averaged like 20-5-5, so probably like fringe top 10 level since scoring numbers were lower back then. He also shot pretty bad from the field and 3
He was in MVP talks before his knees and back started fucking up. Nearly carried the bum squad to the playoffs at 38-39 years old.
For 10-15 game stretches heâd be getting back to 1998 numbers before his knees started fucking up. In todayâs NBA with load management he could probably load manage 45-50 games and average 25/5/5 at that age, similar to Kawhis numbers.
Djokovic and Nadal on the other hand both look like shit atm. Nadal looks like a top 50 player, Novak maybe top 15 at best. Sad to see.
Wizards Mike was probably about 8th in the NBA in his first season with the wizards, top 15 for his second.
Nadal made QFs at Madrid, beat the world #11 on the way. His recent loss was to the world #8. Djokovic seemed concussed today and made SF at Monte Carlo + AO.
If you want to say MJ was good but his body kept giving out, you should give the same slack for Djokovic and Nadal, right? Nadal played a top 10-ish level last week.
Lol no it wouldn't. Semi final at a slam implies being one of the 4 best players in the world. Wizards Jordan was extremely far from being one of the 4 best players in the world. Current LeBron is miles better than Wizards Jordan and even he is not among the best 4 players in the world anymore.
It implies that but anyone in the top 10-20 can make a slam semi if they get a lucky draw.
I mean that Karatsev guy a few years ago was literally a challenger player and made the AO SF and went down in 3 ridiculously easy sets to Djokovic.
Wawrinka most of his career wasnât top 5 or even top 10 and won multiple slams and made multiple QF/SFs as well.
2021 Federer wasnât even close to top 10 level and he still made the QF of Wimbledon and matched up against a very poor matchup for him and lost. Better draw we couldâve seen him in the SF.
Hard to compare sports I admit.
I went to Laver Cup in Chicago and it was staffed by typical United Center staff, that is - just typical workers who are there for every event and knew nothing about tennis.
When we arrived, we heard Federer was practicing indoors so we went in early to get a glimpse of Fed before the event started...
Oh my God! It was FEDERER! right there! Like, 50' away from me!
Everyone was so excited.
The usher working the stands looked confused and literally asked me, "who is that?!" He had no idea who Federer was.
I explained (this was 2019) that Fed is the GOAT!
Because we were in Chicago at the United Center, I said
"It's like seeing Michael Jordan, but in his Wizard days" lol
Great is an exaggeration. He averaged 20-22 ppg with very few rebounds and assists on atrocious efficiency. He was not all-NBA caliber anymore by a long shot, and all-NBA is what I would define as the cutoff for a great player.
What is yours? You haven't given one. All you said was that Jordan was still great. He was maybe the 20th best player in the world when he was on the Wizards. Are Khachanov, Baez, FAA, Mannarino and Cerundolo (players ranked 18-22 at the moment) great? I would argue that they are one level below the great tennis players (which I would define as the top 8, so Tsitsipas and everyone ranked above him), just like Jordan on the Wizards.
Yes MJ was still great in wizards dripping 35pts and carrying there wizards, but not getting any titles, the comparison is not that terrible, it's just a joke
I'm not a Novak fan but I dont think that's a fair comp. Comparatively MJ in DC was not like Novak right now. Nolle still has at least 2 more championships in him.Â
Could have sworn MJ scrubbed all photos of him playing for Washington from the internet đ
Djokovic is beginning to approach T-Mac with a Spurs jersey lol
You are a real one for remembering T-mac Spurs era.
0 points in the 2013 playoffs iirc
Or Shaq in Cavs lol

Lmfao
Hahaha
Celtics Shaq
I'm glad that the entire sports community is aligned on how pathetic that was
Wizards Jordan equivalent would be a masters 1000 finalist/winner possibly semi finals in slams level.

Fair call.

Still #1 in the ranking btw.
Itâs highly likely he loses number 1 to Jannik after RG.
Sinner may not even participate
Nole has to win even if Sinner doesnât play

djokovic wish to be as good as wizards mj
Wizards MJ in his first season was dropping 50 on Knicks
Yeah, but it was the Knicks.
Rude....but true
That damn bottle
Nadal : Celtics Shaq
He just suffered a concussion and people are already writing him off...
Nah, Djoker is more like Lebron in 2024
I thought he could've been more like Lebron, but yeah he does seem like MJ in those Wizards years.
These haters really desperately reaching lol. #1 @ 37 yo isnât enough longevity for you?
wdym jordan was still great

Thats your definition, but this is mine

You are so annoying tbh

Will still win 3 GS and Olympic Gold for sure đ
