Jokic is excellent at the one touch pass as well, and really doesn't belong in the same sentence as Luka when it comes to dominating the ball. Over the last 4 years, Luka was 2nd, 1st, 1st and 2nd in usage rate and all 4 years were in the top 20 all-time (basically prime Westbrook/Harden stuff). Jokic was 10th in 2022, and that was the only time in his career he finished in the top 20 in usage (he was 34th this year, tied with Brunson and Siakam).Birds passing is really unlike anyone else in today's game. He was the master of the one touch pass. He wasn't dominating the ball like Doncic or Jokic.
Bird was far more ball dominant than Jokic, with 7 seasons in the top 20 in usage and 4 in the top 10.
