IS NIKOLA JOKIC THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA?
Nah LeBron my glorious king 🔛🔝
@@VeryChillBlue Yes, we saw against Philadelphia. 😂
@@mlrd2687 we also saw him dominate everyone in the playoffs to win a championship, what has Embiid done?...oh yes nothing but lose, cant cry your way to a championship
Absolutely yes
@@mlrd2687pity mvp
Jokic isn't flashy, but he's smooth. His passing is unbelievable, he is peak basketball.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
I don't know why, but the supposed 'flashy' stuff isn't all that flashy to me. The smoothness and finesse by players like jokic though. That's flashy.
I'm intrigued. He's way off for the stereotypical "athletic man" of the NBA. He's like Zidane or Bergkamp of the basketbal world.
Bergkamp was fast this man is not 😊@@shapeshifter8778
Jokic is a great BASKETBALL PLAYER. And with the exception of Luka D, the rest of the league is just a collection of gifted athletes who happen to play basketball. #sportsI.Q.
For those of us having played waterpolo, it is crazy to see this man bringing his moves in basketball on the highest possible level like this. Respect and admiration to him and Serbia. Greetings from Greece.
Stop this it wasnt water polo that makes him pass well.
we aint GHEY why would we play pool games with a bunch of men...
Bro does not how hard it is to pass a waterpolo ball @@nicklauschristofonoXXII
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII also to if you watch the pass that is nothing like a baseball throw it looks like someone demonstrating a waterpolo throw
Greece is the word! Fundamental!
Shaq has given Jokic mad props. I think he even said Jokic was better than him.
Yes he is
Jokic Kobe combo that’s 6 rings automatically
Sadly I think Kobe was a little to selfish, Jamal is a better fit. @@ndnd7614
He never said that Jokic was better than him. He doesn't even admit to Wilt that he is better than him. After the title, Shaq ranked Jokic as the sixth best center of all time. He has been saying for years that Jokic is the new Rik Smith, trying to underestimate him. Now that Jokic has won the title, Shaq has no choice but to respect him.
@@mlrd2687 That why I said "I think..." 😁
Nicola's HUMILITY is what gets my vote.
was reading humidity and was like whaatt?
you said water polo and it was like a lightbulb moment in my brain, he totally passes as if he's swimming, and his upper body control is insane, it just makes a lot of sense when you watch him play. Very cool video
def waterpolo passes
Barkley was quite supportive for Denver and Jokic!
Only Barkley
Jalen Rose also.
@@markocurcic6314 He was changing sides at Phoenix series
Barkley is the man, for supporting the Nuggets when little to no one else was, outside of Denver. Barkley will be forever loved in Denver for this 🫡
to be fair, Shaq was too, he never spares any praise for Jokic, and we know he's pretty tight when calling some other center great.
Jokic is the best player during the regular season then gets better in the playoffs. He's a cheat code
I believe everyone is noticing this now. His stats just got more ridiculous this season. If he wins 4-5 rings, he will be in the conversation, and dudes will criticize his showmanship, passion, and defence. But it's amazing how clutch he is already now.
The defense argument always makes me laugh. He literally led the league in Defensive BPM last year and was 10th in Defensive Win Share. This year is much the same, currently leads in Defensive BPM and is tied for 8th in Defensive Win Shares.
yea deadass i had a Giannis fan tell me Giannis defense gap makes Giannis the best player in the league@@Il_Exile_lI
I don`t think Jokic needs 4-5 rings, Jokic changed the center position, has won multiple MVP`s and he is already a top 15 player of all time, Shaq also had Kobe(a top 15 player of all time) and Phil Jackson(either the best or second best coach of all time) Jokic hasn`t played with anyone close to his own all time level.
I agree even but he’s def cemented himself especially anchoring to Denver’s first ring
Kobe top 15? U mean top 2?@@thetruth4654
Great point. Serbia's waterpolo school and tradition is greatest ever.
One day, I bet they start having him in conversations of the GOAT 💯 Thats how great he is.
It’s crazy how some put him in the conversation as GOAT and others don’t even have him in the top five of currently playing NBA players. That’s insane.
@@choreomaniac that's mostly American culture (mostly black culture) talking
Jokic is an All-time great no question about it.
@@hagnuj1070so far
Water Polo! You are right, his passes look exactly like he is passing in a water polo game. WOW!
The best part of all is that he is always humble and down to earth. A man wins the championship, becomes the MVP, and his reaction is cold-blooded "I'm glad, it's a great feeling, I can't wait to go home". He is a real role model, a role model for all generations. He doesn't go wild, he doesn't buy the 5 most expensive cars to take pictures with, Rolex watches, he doesn't brag. Loves basketball, plays for love, never chases points, team player. Such a center has never existed, nor will it ever exist. Nikola Jokić is UNIQUE.
Dude is a conductor on a basketball court. Serbia is so proud that he is representing us.
Jokic is the real deal and to be honest I love that the Nuggets are overlooked.
Jokic undeniably has the highest basketball IQ in the world
WTF does that mean? LOL Are you trying to insinuate that black players are not as smarter? Watch it brother.
@@davidachonii44when did bro ever say that 💀
@@davidachonii44 kid iam black... You need to think before you write
@@davidachonii44pffff dude. Even funnier that OP is black now. If you reason like this you will always feel like the world is against you. This will not help you in life at all.
@@davidachonii44 everyone knows european league players are smarter than the NBA guys. The thing is american players are way more athletic
Lifelong fan of the Nuggets. It's been amazing to watch his improvement and to watch him be a huge part to leading the team to the first NBA championship last season. At this point, you cannot deny his insane stats, not to mention his consistency. Go Nuggets!!!
I'm so amazed by so many people not being avare of how legendary Jokić already is. When it's all said and done, he will probably finish somewhere in the Top 10 All Time.
If he continues this for another 4-5 seasons he'll be top 5
@@hdhdhzh259 in 5 years I reckon he will be in GOAT conversation lol
He’s Serbian and he’s not marketable cause he doesn’t give a shit about
Thanks for posting this video, I learned a few things about Jokic. As a Spurs fan I did not pay much attention to him until last season. Now I am constantly impressed. Anyone want to go out on a limb and predict that Denver repeats this year? I will.
Nah, Celtics taking it
I hope so but there are soooo many good teams out there and championships are hard to come by.
Me too if healthy
Can never understate the GM and coach recognizing and building around his talent
Michael Malone deserves as much praise as Jokic. Its his vision that allowed the best player in the world to shine, and the Nugets to get their hands on the first NBA title in franchise history.
@@MrExcessum Malone deserves the credit but talent as huge as that would be recognized by any couch, maybe like a month or two later
@@MrExcessumMalone can't have my respect because he held on to Barton for so long. Barton was the only guy that frustrated Jokic and compare it to what happened when they got rid of him.
@@MrExcessumno it's not LMFAO. He's avg AF
@@zconigliettithey're trying to lie about joker bc they're intimidated
Phenomenal video! It wasn't just water polo that influenced Jokic's skill with the ball. Handball and volleyball are played in physical education classes in our schools, and I know that Nikola also played those two sports as a child at school. He started playing water polo later because in our schools there is no possibility to introduce water polo into regular classes. In the world, Serbs are the most dominant in water polo, and in basketball and volleyball, and we also had handball players who were at the very top for a time. We are worse in football because of the crime that has taken root in that sport, but we have always had top footballers. Jokic is not the only outstanding passer with Serbian genes. Pistol Pete Maravich, Milos Teodosic and Luka Doncic. Drazen Petrovic was known as a killer scorer, but he also had exceptional passing skills, and Vlade Divac is one of the best centers of all time in that segment of the game. Jokic is not that good by chance because he comes from a country with an extremely rich basketball history.
Before anyone chimes in with "dRaZen wAs a CroAt", Drazen's grandparents and ancestors were Serbs. Virtually the entire Croat NATION is built from "croaticising" the Serb people / ethnos, in Dalmatia, Istra and Slavonia.
90% "Croats" until WW2 (and the subsequent vatican & communist ethnoengineering began in ernest) were/identified as Catholic Serbs. There is nothing historically or culturally Croat about Dalmatia, Istra, or Slavonia, other than them being part of today's revived, clerofascist, Independant State of Croatia.
Those are Serb genes.
Uvek me fascinirala potreba nekog Srbina da objasnjava neke stvari ostatku svete,i ja sam Srbin ali takve gluposti koje pisu takvi specijalci kao ti su sramota...Jokic je Jokic,jedan u milijardu,a po tvom pisanju ispada da mi na casovima fizickog radimo ko na Olimpijadi sto nema veze sa istinom,a ti sa mozgom...Jesmo dobri u vaterpolu,a ja evo iz Beograda sam i niko nikada iz mog kraja nije trenirao taj sport,isto kao i tenis,mali procenat ljudi se zapravo bavi njima,a po tebi ispada da mi to radimo u skoli 😂. ...Ima vas specijalaca sto strancima objasnjavate i da je piza kod bucka "srpska kuhinja",a ima i koji objasniavaju Amerima da ovde nikada nije bio rat,verovatno zato sto su odrasli na selu iz kog avion nisu 1 videli...Inace prosecan cas fizickog u Srbiji je,bace 2 lopte,decaci igraju basket,a devojcice odbojku i prestanite na Engleskom da lazete i izmisljate,budi specijalac u svoja 4 zida,a ne ovde!
Sve kao i uvek bilo super dok se ne upetlja beogradjanin
It was not Jokic who played water polo but Nikola Jovic. Come on, get some information, you have everything in two clicks..
@@gloopdogg1145 veze ti sa srbima nemas care...
We should not forget Joker's personal coaches, his two pro player brothers, and of course Malone who gave him an opportunity to grow.
It’s nice to see the game being played right by him. It’s been said 1000 times, but he makes everyone better. Fun to watch - good basketball!
When I noticed during the last season playoff the nuggets defence had improved massively and jokic was performing in mvp level( still think he should’ve won the regular season mvp)plus Murray was healthy ,I was very confident that they would go the finals and win it. And I think this season they have very high chance to win it again
Murray is capital and jokivic is lover case letter by mistake 😂😂Be respectful 😢
Well I for one have had a jokic jersey since 2016 lol. The only other jerseys I ever bought was KD sonics and raptors vince. I am a big guy who uses my size to survey the floor and make plays for others...and watching this guy pass was a work of art and inspiring. But I definitely never imagined him becoming this dominant!
This is pretty good, I've been wondering about his early stats. I think I only ever heard one thing in the news about him then suddenly he's everywhere halfway into 2021 season. Nobody really explained the in-between stuff from being a draft steal to his first Stat jump in 2018. I think it's awesome mostly for the international players to realize it's possible.. they can make it and not just be a bench warmer for a 2 quarter return guy passer... you can be the star as long as you played water polo and love horse racing too 😅
Jokic's first stat bump actually came in 2017. The problem was that the Nuggets had another center, Nurkic, who was a 1st round pick. It was difficult for Jokic to play alongside Nurkic and get minutes. That's why his season averages are a little depressed. After they shipped out Nurkic, the Nuggets went 24-16 during the last 40 games Jokic started and he averaged 19.8pts - 11.5reb - 5.9 ast while shooting 57.3% from the field.
Jokic was honestly capable of 25+ per game by year 3/4 but he was a little passive with scoring. Most people blamed his conditioning, but I think he was trying to build that team dynamic. Murray/Harris/Barton all got a lot more shots and opportunities to showcase their skill and allowing others to grow is how Murray became the second star. He put up 25/14/8 in his postseason debut in 2019 so Jokic's dominance over the last couple years shouldn't have surprised anyone.
@@TheMilapMehta honestly I don't follow it that much but nice to see and an international player outside Yaoming getting some recognition... It's rare af. Not trying to be reductive but rather I don't even watch NBA outside updates and highlights so I was just saying... Dudes an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of international hopefuls. 👍
@@RocktheCpopCompletely agree. Honestly Jokic is an inspiration to everyone. His entire game is predicated on team basketball and maximizing all 5 guys on the court which is something very few superstars do.
It's a shame that the mainstream media tried to suppress him and turn common fans against Jokic for so long.
@@TheMilapMehta yayaya I seen the other videos that really play up how fuked up it was Jokic didn't get any play in the conversation until like 2020, like he's just the baseboard basic Serbian bench warmer back up bro on a cheap contract. What a baller ahahaha
@RocktheCpop Luka Doncic and Giannis are also "International" players. The latter also being a 2 time MVP and FMVP (like Jokic), and the other has been in the MVP conversations for some time now. It's not just Yao and Jokic getting some recognition.
I know you stated that you don't keep up much with the NBA. Not trying to be aggressive or anything, just saying.
Kung-Fu panda of basketball !
How have I never heard this water polo detail? It makes so much sense.
Great vid!
my boy almost got a triple double just in first half last game you got to be kidding me
Finally, the water polo angle.
Hardly any of the talking heads mentions this
Thank you for such a great video, greetings from his home-land❤
what i find extremely disrespectful is when the cream of the crop centers are mentioned or compared... everyone just sweeps Hakeem Olajuwon under the rag... like he didnt get 2 championships... like he wasnt a dominant force on both sides of the court... like he was... not there.
its absolute insanity i tell you.
Collective memory is a problem when youngns come on the scene...
Hakeem was insanely good. The problem is that center has been the most talented position in NBA history. Kareem, Russell, Wilt, and Shaq are all objectively ahead of Hakeem so people use them as the standard instead of Hakeem.
I don't think it's meant to be an insult, it's just there's more all time great centers to compare than other positions.
@@TheMilapMehtatrue center is an insanely stacked position 😅
@@TheMilapMehtaHakeem was better than Shaq and Russell. He was arguably better than Wilt and Kareem too.
@@MistaWordz Hakeem literally sonned every center in a heavily all-star/superstar center stacked era. the 90s. young shaq, david robinson, patrick ewing, alonzo mourning, dikembe. he combined extremely graceful moves, skills, post moves, mid range game, above the rim, the best footwork we've witnessed with EXTREMELY high level defense and leadership. and somehow people keep underrating him.
YOU ARE UNDERRATED!! Great content mate keep it up 👏
Stay healthy Jokic!
jokic doesnt even have to be athletic, he has jamal murray being athletic enough for both of them. They have perfect synergy, its insane.
jokic runs more than a lot of guards per game.
in what world is a guy who can wear you down running not athletic?
he is faster than ad. yet people like you are never saying ad is unathletic.
what is this ? is this a race thing? do americans even understand what athletic means?
its not jumping high to dunk the ball. there are a lot more checkboxes.
@@hoebertrabeck1621 ESLs not understanding the difference between athletic and athletic is hilarious
Respect man this is beautiful 👏👏👏✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻🎩👍🏼
Some of his shots during the Lakers sweep are the best you'll ever see. Trebuchet three pointers over Lebron and AD. Will never be forgotten.
Playing water polo without a doubt adds to a player's ball handling and passing skills, If you have access to water polo i would highly recommend playing the sport a season or two.
I noticed when Jokic went on his title run a lot of these experts talked about him like it was the first time they watched him play, and i remember one of them (forgot who it was) being surprised how good he was watching him in real life for the first time. 😆
I think it was Lisa Salters who during the 2023 playoffs, admitted on national television that she had never watched Jokic play before. Ridiculous 🤦🏻♀️
This guy is an awesome basketball player. He's so underrated but he's the best player in the NBA by far.
Man this is the core of Nikola's story and how it goes,that famous line that Jack got ...."YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH" yeah that one
I would like to add ,you ain't see nothing yet.. Bravo za video ,pozdrav iz Srbije 😎😎
Great video man. Thank you
Very nice video. Thank youbgor taking the time to make it.
Thanks for sharing this information ❤
great vid bro. You’ve got a lot of competition in the BB YT space but you have great editing and a great voice
Nikola Jokic a different breed. His IQ is so vast, he's so creative and can dominate just by using his body and footing skills
Brilliant video, i really enjoyed it!
And YES, he is the best player in the NBA by far...!!!!
Excellent commentary! thx
waterpolo is probably the hardest sport in the world.. what happens under water in that sport explains why Joker is so tough and resiliant..
Great vid brother, subsribed
Shaq played defense, really good defense. Jokic will be like Steph where hes nuclear offensively but merely okay on defense.
As someone who knows little of basketball this was informative, now I understand why media talks about him so much.
Really good video my guy. More likes than subs...numbers lol.
This was a great video
Thanks for this - it's very fair. However... The Joker is a deceptive, nasty manipulator. Even we in Serbia slept on him for a long time.
He persuaded everyone that he's slow. No, he isn't, and he isn't just quick to turn around and leave his defender clutching for air. See him push the fast break with the ball. When you see the slow strides into the paint, notice that he's either bulldozing the defender out of the way or feeling for an opening, creating it with a stop, turn or that extended/delayed second step.
I think I heard this morning that he dunked for the second time this season. Things like that add to the deception - but think of a Hakeem highlight: Is it some spectacular slam, or is it having Robinson jumping around him like a puppy before he just laid the ball up? He humiliates his rivals more by putting the ball in after sending them to fetch.
The biggest trick he pulled, however, is having fooled not just the casuals, but the so-called analysts into believing he really doesn't care about the game by talking about it as "the job." The guy is insanely competitive, and I would bet anything that by now, not one of the players in the league is lulled into that fairytale he spun.
Yes, he's only 28. The way he seems to have weeded out bad habits and developed good practices, and how he conserves his athleticism - he should be in a good place to avoid injuries typical for dunkers and extend his prime. And with his ability to elevate teammates, he should be the pillar for perenially contending teams for many years.
Pardon the rant! 😜
Good rant! Good post
Jokic just might end up as the goat.
No, jokic is amazing but who he has played at his position is not equal in any way shape or form to other great centers. Jokic is punishing smaller, lighter glorified PFs. With nothing but room the triple double is not the same and doesn’t hold the same weight defense is a joke, the passing lanes are insane. Now don’t get it twisted I think jokic is amazing but no it helps to play in this era. The same way people want to tax players from the 60s he has to get taxed for this weak ass sh8t era. And btw wilt played and matched up against Russell who still holds the high Juno record at San Francisco university in the high jump and was ranked 7th in the world at one time, Walt Bellamy? Nate Thurmond, Willis reed, bob Lanier, artis Gilmore, young Kareem. Shaq played the admiral, Ewing, Yao, Hakeem, rik smitts who was really good, dikembe and Zo. Hell just this video alone look at who he is scoring on lol it’s a joke of course a skilled big is going to dismantle these dudes.

Keep up the good work on the videos
...And he was robbed of his 3rd MVP award...
lol that clip of shaq landing on his ass after busting the back board has me weak
Jokic has a legitimate argument for being the best at scoring, rebounding, and passing in the league simultaneously. It's absurd that he continues to get better every year.
People don't see a super fast, sculpted physic, super athletic player and instantly deny all the other aspects such as playmaking, vision, shooting etc, they just want to see crossovers and dunks.
Spot on, man
6:19 LeBron charismatic? Child please.
lebron is as charismatic as vanilla ice cream without the vanilla
Jokic is truly a mix of Duncan, Dirk & Larry BIRD 🐦 all mixed in one
I’ve never enjoyed a player more than Jokic. There will never be another but also, Sengun is coming..
Right on!!
I hope the NBA shifts their attention towards the greatness of Jokic marketing wise and stop beating a dead horse in trying to make something out of the "king".
Hard to market someone who doesn't want to be marketed! Not everyone is a whore for fame and money and THAT is one his best traits! That's why he doesn't get the big media "push"
Great video! Serbia 🇷🇸 approves
I swear chuck was the only guy who believed in the nuggets
Regardless if he falls short to Shaq in terms of accomplishments, the guy is one of most skilled basketball players of all time. Shaq relied way too much on strength and genetics. Not to mention, refs carrying the Lakers some of those years.
they didnt call 70% of fouls on shaq😂
The ending. Such a great take 👏
Using post season success against him when going up against Joell Embiid is so slimy. Jokic had a conference finals appearance already (losing to the champs Lakers) while Joell lost 5 semifinals in six seasons.
Fenomenalan video !
Jokic should already considered top 4 all time.
In no order: MJ, Kareem, Jokic, LeBron
Jokic one day could be legitimately considered the 🐐
🤣
where is magic and bird and how is lebron better than kobe and how is jokic already better than guy like hakeem,shaq and wilt lol
+bird was 50/40/90 in his prime he avg 28 10 and 7 not 1 small foward did that
Even though the style of game has drastically changed throughout the years , this is truly an awesome time to be a NBA fan. (unless you're a pistons fan )
The talent is ABSURD.
Bro nice dissection
Great video with awesome thoughts and information, and yet... All I can think about is how much Shaq's head must've hurt after smashing it on the ground breaking that backboard.
SHOUT OUT TO CHARLES BARKLEY FOR BELIEVING IN THE NUGGS FROM DAY ONE
I saw Yokic in 2016 Olympic final here in Brazil against the USA. Despite losing I knew he was different and we are now seeing 😅
Drafted him in fantasy basketball back when he was backing up Nurkic. Reports were saying he had extreme upside. The man absolutely broke out and has managed to improve even further than what anybody could have expected.
I knew his value would be goat but I didn't think he was gonna become the goat
He reminds me of one of my favourite point guards from the past, Andre Miller. Miller had three speeds: slow, slower, and glacial. His skill came from being able to blow past defenders manipulated by his control of pace, and he was seen as one of those supposedly unathletic types that you had to have on your pickup team if you wanted to dominate. Jokic is far more than Miller could have been because his skills are hardly ever seen in large people.
I love how you relate his basketball development to horse racing and water polo. It absolutely makes sense how it helped him to be unique.
Joker is the answer to the question of what would happen if Larry Bird was playing in today's game and frankly it's fucking funny
Oh , Bird would be way more terrible. Jokic is not trying. Bird would try , hard. he was a psycho! Guy was practicying when other people were sleeping. Bird would be an absolute carnage. Averaging triple doubles with 35-40 points average, easy. The guy was clutching 3s when 3s were not a thing. Mother of god, I do not even want to think about that;)
thats why i always thought his technique reminds me of waterpolo...makes total sense
He's very fun to watch. I don't think I've ever seen a total package like him. You go with his almost automatic triple double, which most players might get a couple a year, then add his high free throw percentage, I just don't see a weakness.
You are absolutely right. But the league is never going to highlight a guy who openly says he doesnt like basketball. How would the NBA or the reporters say he is the new face of the league if nobody wants to be like him? It's crazy
The last 3 seasons has been really fun to watch mainly because almost every single team is super competitive with at least one all-star level player and to say that the current best player winning a championship last season is a pretender is just insane.
💯%
If Eric Clapton is the "slowhand" in R&R, then Jokic is the "slowhand" in basketball. Both the best!
Jokic is kinda mix of Bird-Dirk-Duncan, but has unique and signature skills on the top of that. One of a kind!
"not overly charismatic like LeBron.." aaaaaahahahahahhha😂😂😂😂
Forgive me if I'm wrong but do you have another youtube channel? Perhaps one where you discuss the dangers of crack addiction using one rubbery boy as an example?
Jokic brings in everyone else. Opposition teams struggle to match up on him because he adjusts the pace so well to make everything his opponents do miss and look clumsy. If if he doesnt score, he uses the fact he takes two or three defenders combined with his accurate passing to bring guys like Murray to kill it from deep. As a CENTER. So, you know, he's also useful on the other end of the court. Just incredible.
They play some beautiful basketball and are a joy to watch.
Unfortunately, Jokić experiences the same challenge in the NBA as Djokovic in tennis. Despite the inexorable statistics, this reality does not exist for meny people and "press and experts". Although they are dominant in every aspect in the history of the sport. Guess what these two sports giants have in common. The country they come from. However, all those who challenge them do not know the characteristics of the people they come from. "You can't break me" and "I'll do it all against all your efforts to challenge me even if it's not in my favor". It's called "Inat" and it's characteristic of the end of the world they come from. So expect a lot more from both of them.
It seems more like a difference in the sports audience. Novak's personality would work really well in the NBA. He'd be regarded just like Luka and would have been embraced immediately once he hit the dominance stride. In tennis, Novak is super mature now, but he used to be a bit of a head case and didn't mature quite as quickly as Roger (another headcase when younger who immediately turned it around) which is why he hasn't been as celebrated.
Jokic is just like Rafa. Both guys were super humble from the beginning, fierce competitors who leave it all out on the court, and neither likes talking about awards and accolades. Jokic would have been embraced super well in tennis, but in the NBA you have to be a bit more brash.
Хајде доста са тим српским инатом. Шта си ти или неко из твог окружења урадио паметно из ината? Ако си и урадио нешто паметно то није било због ината, нити њих двојца раде то што раде из ината.
The irony is both of them are Serbs lol. I'd throw in Doncic in there too despite the fact that he hasn't won a ring yet.
@@tradertango2 He is right to a certain extent. Serbs are disliked in a way because they refuse to bow down to how they think they need to be, or rather than just go with the flow or go along to get along. Jokic also receives the disrespect because he doesn't play the game in a flashy way and he dominates his peers, and that ticks off the media as well. Also the media didn't like how Djokovic would talk about Kosovo several years back and they didn't like that he didn't take the jab.
He started this season with a hunger I haven't seen before from him, don't know what it is, maybe the ring. Hope he keeps it up.
Talent never beats hard work, discipline and talent.
The diesel said on the air that joker is better and thanked him to bring the center position back.
Oh waterpolo makes sense..and that region is good in that sport. Manly too. Natural bodybuilders.. and they pass the ball like that all the time.
