I notice there are 3 kinds of people that don't like Jokic: 1. Lebron fans 2. Those who just like flashiness 3. Those who don't know how the game is played
Yeah, the Lakers averaged 6 more free throw attempts per game than their opponents during this past regular season. That topped the league. The next two teams averaged only 2.8 more free throw attempts per game than their opponents. Yet, there are still LeBron fans that claim the refs don't call when opponents supposedly foul LeBron.
@@kennethking2301if the game was called correctly Lebron would actually foul out for barreling into his defenders cus he lacks skill and it’s the only way he can score when his team needs pts
Absolutely - this "European" player could easily have had another triple double in the play-offs ( just one of the missed assisted lay ups would have made it 10 ) and they call it a "bad game" ??? The standard used to be double doulbes would make for an outstanding game.
I don't think we will have enough European players to really form a back bone But the more talented ones will make it to top 10 or even 5 players of the league conversation and the proportion European will get higher
@@MightyBiffermainly how passive he was. I wouldn't care about tos if he played as usual. His gravity would over compensate anything. Minny will butcher nuggets if he does this again
The best part: Jovic doesn't carry on like a 7th grader out there. He wants to go home, when the job is finished, and be with his family. I don't see him knocking out his girlfriend/wife in an elevator, or crashing a car doing 80 around a corner, or partying at nightclubs flashing his Glock. He does give what he gets, though. He knocked down another player that "tested" him. Oh, he doesn't flop, or throw tantrums, and hasn't been jumping around hunting for rings, at least not yet, but I don't see it.
Why does it bother people to say that Jokic is the best in the league? He's a team player that plays fundamental basketball and he's killing it out there. He's definitely the best example of a professional basketball player on and off the court.
To answer your question....for the same reason that they push so hard the "LeBron as GOAT narrative." The empty suits and skirts of so much of the media feel the need for their GOAT (and MVP) to have a social and political agenda that they approve of (I hate the use of the word "woke." It's just so cliché anymore). And neither Jokic nor Michael Jordan are outspoken enough on "Social Justice" to suit the Room Temp IQ's at ESPN and other media outlets. So they fawn over LeBron James, the most overrated "superstar" in the histories of all four North American Major sports leagues (and also why they fawned over such a miserable human being like Megan Rapinoe).
100% what that was. Sheer pettiness 😂 LeJuice is genuinely a man-child. If he wasn't a pro basketball player I'm certain he'd be an incel living in his mams basement 😂
Just to be clear, Jokic had good numbers. That's not the reason it was considered a bad game for him. It's his lack of aggression in the 1st half and the 7 turnovers. It was very uncharacteristic of him to do that.
Actually, he does the 5 shots in the first half but quite often in season but in the playoffs he doesn't. What he does often in playoffs and through this series is going overboard trying to get Murray going. When the latter is going 3/16 in a half, you'd wish Jokić would just take over (so that opponent doesn't distance themselves) but instead he keeps trying to get Murray to snap out of his shooting funk. Im guessing but I think Jokić knows that he could single handedly win a game or series but for them to win it all, Murray's shooting % has to get back to normal. 40% shooting, 29% from three like it is now just won't cut it.
indeed, he missed some shots which he usually hits and those turnovers did make people frustrated. i guess the point is, ceiling for him is so high that a game like this is very bad for him lol
It’s difficult to map a strategy against the Nuggets because the team adapts to different situations as they’re happening in real time. It’s a nightmare for the opposing team because they play the next best shot no matter the player, which is unselfish basketball that starts with Jokić, and is bought into by the big 4 starters - not to mention a decent bench. Box scores don’t track teamwork beyond assists. The chemistry of their team is special.
You have to make life hard on everybody else while guarding joker one on one. That's going to be the only way to beat them in a seven game series. Minnesota has the personnel to do so but I just think they'll fail. The nuggets are too f****** good LOL
Goat… Not at all. Top 15 definitely. The GOAT has six straight. Love his game but he’s not MJ. No if joker wins 3 more in a row I gotta reconsider. He’s not better than Wilt or Russell and if you point to numbers I’ll point to the rule changes.
If there ends up being a Nuggets dynasty, then those two game-winning shots by Murray in this series (in which the Nuggets trailed at the half in every game) will need to be remembered as cornerstone moments.
That's right, but Murray has to play a lot better and shoot more accurately if they want to get past Minnesota. He played a lot worse than expected this series with the Lakers, but he hit the two most important shots. I hope that these sentences will boost his confidence and we will see his better game. Without his goals, it will be very difficult to win.
@@brianmarsal9717 Well, yes... he has a lot of 'light' injuries - I think he hurt his jacket, and besides, we saw him with those bandages around his leg. I hope he can sort it all out and recover by Minnesota. It wouldn't be bad if he missed the first game or played 10-15 minutes just to be fully recovered from the second game.
They sure are showing their anti white racism on ESPN. Bashing people for being white is acceptable to racists on the left. And yes, black people can be racist, just turn on MSNBC and you'll see racism in full view.

AND DIDN'T SHOOT A SINGLE FREE-THROW!!! The NBA and the refs should've been ashamed of themselves. They made it so obvious not just that game, but the last two seasons that they wanted the Lakers to win.
So, what's next? Is James going to demand to be traded to the Nuggets? Remember, his entire career has always been about shopping the league for championship titles.
Well one big difference in the first round vs the second for the Nuggets. The refs won't be playing for the Twolves like they did for LA. The foul calling both made and missed calls was eye-wateringly atrocious.
No one sees that there is a serious problem for the American sports public at the upcoming Olympics. In fact, the Olympic tournament is the only international basketball competition that the American public respects. Here the Americans have the imperative of their absolute dominance by appearance and achieved results. It has never happened in an Olympic basketball tournament that the first star of the competition is someone who is not part of the "Dream Team"! If Jokić accepts the invitation of the Serbian coach and if that team is complete, the Americans could be in serious trouble. Serbs do not respect anyone, and they have by far the best basketball players outside the USA! Believe it or not, in Serbia the cult of basketball is stronger than in the USA, and the fans in the stands create an atmosphere that is incomparably better than anything seen outside those areas!
And that's a good thing. I will actively root against any team with LeWhine on it. The USNWT squashed the idea that one should always root for their home country. Well, not exactly. I am a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and I will root for the Canadians so long as Sidney Crosby is a member of that squad....but in that case, I did not actively root against the Americans. In soccer, I absolutely loved seeing Team Diva getting handed a serving of Humble Pie, and I would equally love to see LeBum get his comeuppance.
They are putting Jokic down because he keeps beating lebron. If lebron had those stats, all those lebron fans on these TV talking shows would have been climaxing on themselves so enthralled by those stats.
@@SteveJohnson-r2y Yep, watch the look on the face of Levar Burton and Sunny Hostin when they find out they have white ancestors. PBS Finding your Roots.

Speaking to the title of this video. What the NBA fears most is the Minnesota Timberwolves making it to the finals. So expect Denver to get the preferential officiating next round, like the Lakers got this past round.
I don't know why it's said like that - I saw a good game by Nikola (taking into account that he was always doubled by two strong guys - Lebron and AD who is the best defensive center) but I didn't like the overall team play. They didn't move well, they didn't open up well for shots, Murray had a worse game than what we're used to, Gordon only started in one game and the others he played mediocre like KCP and R.J. who can do a lot better than shown... but kudos to MPJ who shot fantastically and with his game (along with Jokic) pushed his team to the next step. But unfortunately the bench does not bring them enough - unlike last year. I am not optimistic that I can easily reach the finals if the bench does not get involved much more seriously and provide a greater contribution. I support Denver, but the bench must contribute much more to the team than what they have shown us so far. If all the starters are healthy by the end of the competition, they have a good chance to defend last year's title and win a new title (perhaps a little harder than last year). It would be really fantastic and a very big success for Denver. It would be great for the team to bring BOGDAN BOGDANOVIC to DENVER, who would be a great addition to the team, either as a starter or as a sixth player. I think they would be unstoppable with him, and I think his contract with Atalanta will expire soon (I'm not sure about that, but I heard it somewhere). I think that he is not an overpriced player and that it would be good if Denver sold some of their players who do not have an important role (and there are a lot of them) and that they pay for that money and bring Bogdanovic as a proven good striker and player in general.
Every NBA All-Time Great is a HUGE joker fan and even admitting watching his games , Bird was talking about it recently. Then we have bums like Fatkins and Arenas the bum who had 2 good seasons in his career talking shit about Joker's game. This bum shoulda stayed behind bars
Pass , pass layup dunk. Lebron repeat after me. Pass , pass unguarded layup or dunk . 41 and 1. Walton couldn't even move. Walton, Bird layup dunk. Lebron, Jokic to any bum in the NBA...an unguarded layup or dunk. Duh.
Jokic, in just a few years, has passed LeBrain and his Leakers. The Leakers are going NOWHERE WITH LEBRAIN AND AD. They should seriously fire LeBrain ($48,000,000) and AD ($38,000,000) = $86,000,000 a year! Go Nuggets and Jokic; they are fun to watch for sure.
AND...he typically does all this while using TIGHT basketball skills and fundamentals, with less fouling, traveling, carries, turnovers, etc. It's crazy to think that not playing "flashketball" actually pays off. Hahahahaha....
The Nuggets are beat up. Caldwell-Pope, Murray...if Minnesota exploits that, they win. But if Nuggets can handle Gobert and Kat, they'll win. I look forward to it!
poetic justice, the best player -Joker (is Lebron's last pick for last year's All-Star game) and now NBA Champion Joker and Joker's team dominate and eliminate Lebron and Lebron's Lakers going 8-1 in the playoffs the past two years. -Hollywood couldn't make this stuff up!!
NBA and LeFlop are nike/Jordan.. so that's why they hate underarmour Curry (see how many free-throw he got(1) vs Leflop(23)) and Denver, 1st 2nd players aren't American, and Jokic / Aaron both sign with china shoes brand 360.
There's only one kind of person who doesn't like or enjoy Nikola Jokic anymore they are called "Idiots". I've been saying for a year he's gonna be the GOAT just like I knew he was an MVP in Summer League. Don't worry about the repeat, worry about the 3peat. Buckle up! Nikola GOATkic
Jokic played great. He always does. And Murray with the 2 game winners was big boy basketball. But MPJ destroyed the Lakers in this series. 23 ppg 8 rpg on 55% shooting and 49% from 3. As for Nuggets vs Wolves I think it's Nuggets in 6. But I wouldn't be surprised if it went 7 but Denver still wins.
I see planty of deluded fans already calling Minesota as a favourite in this series ... That's just redicolous... Nuggets had like 25% for 3, in the series against Leakers, KCP had 2 games where he was like 0/5 or 0/6 from 3... That most likely won't happen again. If they make an average 35% which is bare minimum concidering they have MPJ, KCP and Murray Minesota has no chance what so ever... U won't catch Nuggets again shooting 25% from the deep. Plus I feel Nuggets are not the team that will blow someone up 25 very offten. They would play close games against both Portland and Boston for example, they never destroy someone in a single game, but they almost always win... It is almost like they play the amount that is needed for a "W" I am calling it in Nuggets in 5 or at worst in 6... I really can not see anyone takeing more than 2 games of Nuggets in today's NBA.... Best of 7 series are favouring Nuggets so much, specially beeing the most clutch team alive.
LeBron is done .. he can't play full out anymore than 1 game in a seris....series..... just don't have it anymore.. why would any team want him??? He can't play a full season... he just trying to play till his overrated son joins him on his team...no more championships for LeBron..... Lakers imbarrast 2 years in a row... sad Lakers ownership... jenne buss..just has fun play with the players...
Note, as usual, the Lakers had 3X the number off free throws as the Nuggets. Without the Refs help the Lakers don't even make the playoffs. Now Lebron is begging to go play in Dallas.
As much I enjoy watching jokic, I still find the games boring. They just run up and down the court and shoot. Except for jokic, there is very little play making. And the shot clock is too short.
Anthony Davis claimed that Joker hit some lucky shots over him. Meanwhile he himself hit a lucky shot to go up. Two. Nothing in 2020 so in the end, in conclusion, it's not that Joker hit lucky shots. It's that Anthony Davis hit lucky shots because once again the Lakers have been eliminated
T Wolves are gonna be tough. I still think the Nuggets get it done but it isn't just about Gobert stopping Jokic. The Nuggets go as far as Murray, MPJ, and AG take them. Jokic will do Jokic things every night... even his bad games are masterpieces. If the other 3 are hitting shots and are on they will not lose this year
I thought Jokic slipped a bit from one year but the stats say otherwise. I guess Lebron and AD were better than one year ago, closed the gap. Still, Jokic the best player this season (again).
Lakers are as strong as the Suns, winning against an overrated Lakers doesn't make you better. T-Wolves on the other hand swept the Suns who got 3 scorers, I got T-Wolves in 6 or 7.
Anyone feel like the lakers loss to denver was like holly holmes knocking out rounda rousy? Lebron might have 1 more "fight"/seaon where amanda nunes will brutally end his career. But everyone will finally see through the lebron hype and start searching for the next superstar. Ronda went to wwe, and lebron will have social media to stay in the lime light, but he isnt the baddest/goat......hes been coasting for years. Like ronda rousy, he went away from being great and started believing his own hype.
Lebron never really picked the Joker as from what I remember he picked himself for Lebron ! What a disgrace and jealousy by one of the NBA stars. Maybe it is time for retirement and to get off the juice .
Jok is the man. But he's not 1st in points. He's 5th in total points in the first round, and 6th in points per game. He is first in assists and rebounds though, both in total and per game. This is with all teams having played 4 or 5 games. I'm sure these numbers change when game 6 happens in these other matchups.
It’s like when your dreaming and your running and not moving like watching the Joker. He is sort of slow but not that slow as he never gets tired and nobody can keep up with him. Incredible hand and eye Icoordination and court vision. He is one step beyond everyone.
Jokic has not been around l ong enough to be "one of the greatest." Best player right now? I can agree with that.o I love to watch him, because he makes so few mistakes. He sees the court so well, and he has soft hands and a deft touch. Only time will tell what his overall career will be...
Watching LeChina...he doesn't play defense. Mainly watches and if someone comes near when he has the ball then he whines and cries for a foul call....needs to retire.
Jokic is the white Wilt Chamberlain and I mean that in a kind and respective way. Later in Wilt's career he became a better passer and more giving teammate with the Lakers. Wilt wanted to make his teammates look better just like Jokic does.
I counted nine fouls upon the Joker and the refs didn't want to call those fouls. Goes to show how the league and refs are in cahoots to do everything for lebron. lebron is a crybaby and lazy, he doesn't run down the court and definitely not a team player
I notice there are 3 kinds of people that don't like Jokic:
1. Lebron fans
2. Those who just like flashiness
3. Those who don't know how the game is played
so true
*Blacks
"Those who just like flashiness"
So... 80% of spectators.
Or do you really think that viewers of Monster Truck Shows are mainly mechanics? 😀
Most people who don't like Jokic just use one of those 3 as an excuse, the real reason is because he's a white dude.

and one time KCP totally fucked up not cutting in time
Yeah was a bit off on some of those long outlet passes when I think he should have just played it out like a normal possession. But nobody is perfect.

I am a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and I will root for the Canadians so long as Sidney Crosby is a member of that squad....but in that case, I did not actively root against the Americans. In soccer, I absolutely loved seeing Team Diva getting handed a serving of Humble Pie, and I would equally love to see LeBum get his comeuppance.
They are putting Jokic down because he keeps beating lebron. If lebron had those stats, all those lebron fans on these TV talking shows would have been climaxing on themselves so enthralled by those stats.
On one particular fast break Jokic brought up the ball going coast to coast and scored an uncontested lay up.
Uncontested. Hence my point.
Jokic is so fun to watch. Never seen anything like him
jokic...white, mpj...mixed race, aaron gordon..mixed race, jamal murray...mixed race, kcp...black.. I love the diversity of this team.
Yes white, but past the Rhine, which makes all the difference
You do know that all black Americans are of mixed race? Almost all black Americans are 35-65% European.

Lebron is theeee most over hyped piece of PDF file that has slothed on an NBA court.
I don't understand why he still not win MVP season finish if playoffs don't mean nothing for MVP I don't know why and when will give him MVP? Can someone answer me on that simple question? When? It's reward for regular season not play off when season finish he was 1st far Infront of second place Luka or Shai!
Sad ce prvo ROI, pa na kraju MVP.
Datum se jos ne zna, ja pretpostavljam da ce pred 1, utakmicu Nuggets - Timberwolves, to rade NBA on TNT
@@Woody13woodpecker hvala na odgovoru po meni je glupost toliko godina postoji i nemaju fiksni datum koliko sam procitao vec su trebali prosle nedelje da donesu,ali odlozili po meni samo da bi Jokic imao vise sanse da izgubi da ne odigra utakmicu na nivou,ali iskreno niko nije ni blizu cele godine je konstantan ovi nisu od pocetka igrali dobro ne kapiram kako moze da se promeni misljenje kad je sezona zavrsena na osnovu cega muvare
I don't understand why he still not win MVP...check his skin tone.
Speaking to the title of this video. What the NBA fears most is the Minnesota Timberwolves making it to the finals. So expect Denver to get the preferential officiating next round, like the Lakers got this past round.
I watched the game yesterday I remember Anthony was emotional I think nuggets will win the series he's the best
Jokic is a master. Imagine if he cared about scoring?
What would a Nike Air Jokic logo look like? Jokic standing flat foot under the net passing the ball to a fellow player?😂
You don't understand basketball 🏀
A flip flop.
Maybe the Fall away on one foot over Anthony Davis from 30 ft away as turn the buzzer was going off...
If you watch the game and not just read the Stats, You could obviously see that he was passive.
Stats don’t matter … clutch plays matter ! Some people don’t make them (LeChoke)
I don't know why it's said like that - I saw a good game by Nikola (taking into account that he was always doubled by two strong guys - Lebron and AD who is the best defensive center) but I didn't like the overall team play. They didn't move well, they didn't open up well for shots, Murray had a worse game than what we're used to, Gordon only started in one game and the others he played mediocre like KCP and R.J. who can do a lot better than shown... but kudos to MPJ who shot fantastically and with his game (along with Jokic) pushed his team to the next step.
But unfortunately the bench does not bring them enough - unlike last year. I am not optimistic that I can easily reach the finals if the bench does not get involved much more seriously and provide a greater contribution. I support Denver, but the bench must contribute much more to the team than what they have shown us so far.
If all the starters are healthy by the end of the competition, they have a good chance to defend last year's title and win a new title (perhaps a little harder than last year). It would be really fantastic and a very big success for Denver.
It would be great for the team to bring BOGDAN BOGDANOVIC to DENVER, who would be a great addition to the team, either as a starter or as a sixth player. I think they would be unstoppable with him, and I think his contract with Atalanta will expire soon (I'm not sure about that, but I heard it somewhere).
I think that he is not an overpriced player and that it would be good if Denver sold some of their players who do not have an important role (and there are a lot of them) and that they pay for that money and bring Bogdanovic as a proven good striker and player in general.
Every NBA All-Time Great is a HUGE joker fan and even admitting watching his games , Bird was talking about it recently. Then we have bums like Fatkins and Arenas the bum who had 2 good seasons in his career talking shit about Joker's game. This bum shoulda stayed behind bars
The King is Dead; Long Live the King!
The Raptors should trade for Giannis.
25 20 9 without a ft attempt
Hes that efficient from the FT line
😂
Feels like Minnesota is gonna be a tough out
The difference of important points by Jokic vs stat padding from LeBalco
Just interesting statistics.. Embiid 15 free throws EMPEROR vs NIKOLA JOKIC 5 free throws per game.. NBA refs 😂😂😂😂
I’m an American who only really watches European players in the NBA at this point.
Canada pitching in with Murray and Shai.
Anthony Edwards . the best there is
Pass , pass layup dunk. Lebron repeat after me. Pass , pass unguarded layup or dunk . 41 and 1. Walton couldn't even move. Walton, Bird layup dunk. Lebron, Jokic to any bum in the NBA...an unguarded layup or dunk. Duh.
Jokic, in just a few years, has passed LeBrain and his Leakers. The Leakers are going NOWHERE WITH LEBRAIN AND AD. They should seriously fire LeBrain ($48,000,000) and AD ($38,000,000) = $86,000,000 a year! Go Nuggets and Jokic; they are fun to watch for sure.
AND...he typically does all this while using TIGHT basketball skills and fundamentals, with less fouling, traveling, carries, turnovers, etc. It's crazy to think that not playing "flashketball" actually pays off. Hahahahaha....
The Nuggets are beat up. Caldwell-Pope, Murray...if Minnesota exploits that, they win. But if Nuggets can handle Gobert and Kat, they'll win. I look forward to it!
poetic justice, the best player -Joker (is Lebron's last pick for last year's All-Star game)
and now NBA Champion Joker and Joker's team dominate and eliminate Lebron and Lebron's Lakers going 8-1 in the playoffs the past two years. -Hollywood couldn't make this stuff up!!
NBA and LeFlop are nike/Jordan.. so that's why they hate underarmour Curry (see how many free-throw he got(1) vs Leflop(23))
and Denver, 1st 2nd players aren't American, and Jokic / Aaron both sign with china shoes brand 360.
Win or loose I know the nugs gave it their best and I'm proud of them period
There's only one kind of person who doesn't like or enjoy Nikola Jokic anymore they are called "Idiots". I've been saying for a year he's gonna be the GOAT just like I knew he was an MVP in Summer League. Don't worry about the repeat, worry about the 3peat. Buckle up!
Nikola GOATkic
Jokic played great. He always does. And Murray with the 2 game winners was big boy basketball. But MPJ destroyed the Lakers in this series. 23 ppg 8 rpg on 55% shooting and 49% from 3. As for Nuggets vs Wolves I think it's Nuggets in 6. But I wouldn't be surprised if it went 7 but Denver still wins.
“ boring basketball “ now 12-1 vs The FLakers. LeGeritol James The Chokin’ One.
I see planty of deluded fans already calling Minesota as a favourite in this series ... That's just redicolous... Nuggets had like 25% for 3, in the series against Leakers, KCP had 2 games where he was like 0/5 or 0/6 from 3... That most likely won't happen again. If they make an average 35% which is bare minimum concidering they have MPJ, KCP and Murray Minesota has no chance what so ever... U won't catch Nuggets again shooting 25% from the deep. Plus I feel Nuggets are not the team that will blow someone up 25 very offten. They would play close games against both Portland and Boston for example, they never destroy someone in a single game, but they almost always win... It is almost like they play the amount that is needed for a "W" I am calling it in Nuggets in 5 or at worst in 6... I really can not see anyone takeing more than 2 games of Nuggets in today's NBA.... Best of 7 series are favouring Nuggets so much, specially beeing the most clutch team alive.
Jokic is great but in this game he had 7 TO
So what?
LeBron is done .. he can't play full out anymore than 1 game in a seris....series..... just don't have it anymore.. why would any team want him??? He can't play a full season... he just trying to play till his overrated son joins him on his team...no more championships for LeBron..... Lakers imbarrast 2 years in a row... sad Lakers ownership... jenne buss..just has fun play with the players...
Note, as usual, the Lakers had 3X the number off free throws as the Nuggets. Without the Refs help the Lakers don't even make the playoffs. Now Lebron is begging to go play in Dallas.
As much I enjoy watching jokic, I still find the games boring. They just run up and down the court and shoot. Except for jokic, there is very little play making. And the shot clock is too short.
Personally I’m very excited to watch Jokic vs. Edwards. 2 best players in the league imo with almost completely opposite play styles.
Rudy - No Double Team i dont need it!
Jokic- Brother i have 40.
Actual interaction between the two from years ago
Anthony Davis claimed that Joker hit some lucky shots over him. Meanwhile he himself hit a lucky shot to go up. Two. Nothing in 2020 so in the end, in conclusion, it's not that Joker hit lucky shots. It's that Anthony Davis hit lucky shots because once again the Lakers have been eliminated
When you play unselfish ball, you have all your teammates committed. LA, you had LeBron and AD making the points. What about the other three.
T Wolves are gonna be tough. I still think the Nuggets get it done but it isn't just about Gobert stopping Jokic. The Nuggets go as far as Murray, MPJ, and AG take them. Jokic will do Jokic things every night... even his bad games are masterpieces. If the other 3 are hitting shots and are on they will not lose this year
🤣🤣27 FTs vs 9 FTs, While LeBron and Lakers fans thinks refs did not give Lakers enough FTs
I thought Jokic slipped a bit from one year but the stats say otherwise. I guess Lebron and AD were better than one year ago, closed the gap. Still, Jokic the best player this season (again).
Jokic should be a all star captain next year. I'll never know if they ever do that though... cause I'll not be watching that product
Lakers are as strong as the Suns, winning against an overrated Lakers doesn't make you better. T-Wolves on the other hand swept the Suns who got 3 scorers, I got T-Wolves in 6 or 7.
Anyone feel like the lakers loss to denver was like holly holmes knocking out rounda rousy?
Lebron might have 1 more "fight"/seaon where amanda nunes will brutally end his career.
But everyone will finally see through the lebron hype and start searching for the next superstar.
Ronda went to wwe, and lebron will have social media to stay in the lime light, but he isnt the baddest/goat......hes been coasting for years.
Like ronda rousy, he went away from being great and started believing his own hype.
Exactly , LBJ don't want to choose Joker last year at All Star game, because he choose as a first pick Chokel Crybid
Stop disrespecting
CRYELE WINEBID
WINEL FLOPBID
CHOQUELE BITCHBID????
Lebron never really picked the Joker as from what I remember he picked himself for Lebron ! What a disgrace and jealousy by one of the NBA stars. Maybe it is time for retirement and to get off the juice .
6:18 hes already in the goat. His peak is unmatched. You guys really just haven't been watching him
Superstars lead their teams to victory. Jokic checks that box. LeBron does not.
Jok is the man. But he's not 1st in points. He's 5th in total points in the first round, and 6th in points per game. He is first in assists and rebounds though, both in total and per game. This is with all teams having played 4 or 5 games. I'm sure these numbers change when game 6 happens in these other matchups.
The NBA never wanted curry as the face of the nba... the NBA is fucking lame because we see through the bull shit
It’s like when your dreaming and your running and not moving like watching the Joker. He is sort of slow but not that slow as he never gets tired and nobody can keep up with him. Incredible hand and eye Icoordination and court vision. He is one step beyond everyone.
Jokic has not been around l ong enough to be "one of the greatest." Best player right now? I can agree with that.o
I love to watch him, because he makes so few mistakes. He sees the court so well, and he has soft hands and a deft touch. Only time will tell what his overall career will be...
Watching LeChina...he doesn't play defense. Mainly watches and if someone comes near when he has the ball then he whines and cries for a foul call....needs to retire.
What should have been a triple double performance in the play-offs and it was a bad game ????
Jokic is the white Wilt Chamberlain and I mean that in a kind and respective way. Later in Wilt's career he became a better passer and more giving teammate with the Lakers. Wilt wanted to make his teammates look better just like Jokic does.
Love the dude. He is the only guy thats worth hundreds of millions. The Nuggets are a passing first driven team and they make it look easy.
I am impressed with Jokic, but a triple double in today's game means very little to me.
I counted nine fouls upon the Joker and the refs didn't want to call those fouls. Goes to show how the league and refs are in cahoots to do everything for lebron.
lebron is a crybaby and lazy, he doesn't run down the court and definitely not a team player
Should of win the mvp last year as well but the nba gave it to someone far less deserving because of the color of jokic skin
At 39, Lebron is still flopping and whining just like when he was in his prime.
The only negative playing the Wolves is that we are forced to listen to that irritating wolf howl while playing in Minn.
Let's go Nuggets! 🔥🏀⚒️
