Stake #1 changed hands for the first time in 14 months
The original Wembanyama Scout sold their 24k. We tracked the chain.
The all-time JRZY ceiling is the single number that anchors every comparative read on this platform. When it moves, every other score recalibrates against it. On May 11, it moved.
Nikola Jokić's JRZY score crossed 96.0 in the second half of a quiet road game in Sacramento. By the time the box score posted, it had settled at 96.2 — four-tenths of a point above LeBron James' 2013 peak, which has sat at the top of the index for over a decade.
A 12-month view
The narrative gap is the most interesting part. In the 14 days since the crossing, fewer than 30 mentions of Jokić's ceiling have appeared across the three major basketball publications we monitor. By contrast, the last time a player approached this threshold — Wembanyama's 94.1 print in October — produced over 1,200 mentions in the first 72 hours.
The score moved. The story didn't. That's the read.
