@@darrengordon-hillfirst of all Tim Duncan is considered a power forward second of all jokic already better than him statistically if he wins two more rings its a wrap
What I love about Jokic is that he's an unselfish player. He is whatever the team needs him to be on any given night. If they need 30 points, he's got it covered. If Gordon and Murray are cooking and they need someone to facilitate, he's one of the best passing bigs of all time. If they need a rebounder, he'll put up 20+. He's basically a 6'11 Swiss Army knife and it's fun to watch. I sincerely think he could finish his career as a top 5 player if he keeps this up.
I completely agree with this. I see top 5-7 all time as an absolutely plausible outcome for him if he sustains this rate for another 6-7 years. Since his game isn't predicated on athleticism at all, I think he can do it.

Jokic was dominant but why didn't he drop a 60 piece on them? The media loves high scores. Jokic you can't become the face of the league playing team basketball and winning games. {Sarcasm}
The Joker swept King James after they all said the lakers got this after the Lakers lost game 1. If he wins league MVP and wins the championship again, we have to question why lebron always needs a superstar player like AD, D Wade in order to win chips.
EXACTLY. If Jokic wins back to back titles without a single other allstar, we need to start asking some other question--like why isn't Jokic creeping up closer to overtaking Bron from a historical standpoint...
You are wrong. Lebron has more solid basket. He flops, he can shoot from 3 ft away, he does not just rely on close layup and dunks, he shot 3 well, he never choked at crunch time in important game. He never needs help. He can compete himself and carry his teammates. Say, 2011 nba final. Wade and Bosh choked and they were not prevailing superstars already. See how great Lebron has carried them. If Miami won 2011, mvp still would have been LBJ
I'm a Sixers fan and from Philadelphia. While Joel our guys, I did mention this before to one of my people. Nikola Jokic along with Giannis is a breath of fresh air in this era of NBA. Happy to see one of my favorite players in the joker continue his greatness!

Living here in Colorado, I can confirm, The Joker doesn't care about any of our arguments. But he chose to stay, when tempted, if ya know ya know. We appreciate you big guy. Thanks for giving Jokic his damn respect too.
Jokic doesn't cry to MVP, Jokic isn't selfish, Jokic doesn't have any superstars helping him to get a chip, Jokic doesn't stat pad its just natural to him and Jokic didn't leave Denver and he bringed Denver's first chip in history. The only players I respect is Jokic, Bird and kobe bryant them both didn't leave their team but they stayed loyal until retirement we should question Lebron about these. Thank you for this video Skap Jokic does own this era. #JOKIC3RDMVP
That's a myth, Jokic loves basketball and his record for games played is a proof. Since he started playing in the NBA only 6 players had played more games than him. He also plays into the joke of just been a job and barring injuries he will play in his late 30s for sure.
If he goes back to back this tear with his 3rd MVP he's a top 10 historical player for me considering the insane competition in the west right now and his statistical dominance.
@@skap_attack LeBum should protest the play-in and refuse to suit up if the Lakers have to rely on it again to get into the playoffs and have to beat another team or two to qualify for the playoffs lol. What a hypocrite
@@skap_attackI dont know why you talk to much smack about Lebron when you never even made the league. Mad glazing everyone but then hates on lebron. Nice one!
It’s crazy that a guy with only a 5 inch vertical is the best player in the NBA. It definitely disproves the notion that the super athletes of today would dominate the older eras.
Unlike what Perk said, he isn't stat padding or trying to chase a triple double for MVP votes (unlike a certain Philadelphia player). It comes naturally and he plays within the flow of the game.
The guy is like a synonim for basketball really.. the perfect all-around hooper with a winning mentality. Here is a hope for more players developing like Jokic in the future
If my Nuggets pull it off again, it’ll be awesome. I want Jokic to go down with the names like Russell and Shaq. A true winner. He’s a statistical monster. And the media hates him. They love when their cry baby LeBum gets stats. But when Jokic does it they don’t care.
I'll have Nikola Jokic on my team anytime and as a die-hard Sacramento Kings fan, my Sacramento Kings got him and the Nuggets in just a few days so we are finna have our hands full woth Nikola Jokic
@adriansmith5279 That's cool but bro every time I play against Nikola Jokic is MyCareer on NBA 2k24, the dude is basically a glitch like he's hard to stop
Even if he isn't crazy good, breaking records every other week, he is and example for any player and human being. Humble, hard working, profesional, no drama, no crying, no faking, no attention seeking, just does his job, sticks to his company, tries to improve and help all his teammates, and puts family values first.... And against all media machine and in most despicable fake stars manufacturing....
Excellent content as always, Skap! My 2 favorite players of all time are Kobe and Jokic, so I really appreciate the way you page homage to both of them, especially when the mainstream media does anything but!
I mean. Idgaf about jokic stats. Just watching him alone screams of his dominance. And when the game is on the line, with jokic you get the sense of calm. While with lebron. If his teams doesn't have a double digit lead. You begin to panic that he will choke.
In terms of peak best, Jokic is possibly top 5 already. Greatest is determined by championships and accolades so he has a ways to go in GOAT conversation. His peak is a great as any I've ever seen.
Jok and Luka are very strong probably they can run longer too, they just dont care for muscular loook they focus on gaining stamina and strenght and most people think visible muscles are stronger but its a myth
@@Jonekkk933 It's just like casual people to call strongmen/powerlifters fat when they don't realize they have a ton of muscle. Being around 400 lbs and being 6'5 or taller is average when it comes to those powerlifters/strongmen. Jokic has the endurance of an ox and easily outpaces lots of bigs and he can play every minute if he wanted. Probably play all 82 games too because of how his body is like, built for endurance.
Speaking of owning this era we need the 2010s video!!! I know you don't want to have to talk about Lebron's 3 rings during that time but thankfully he has 5 finals losses, 2 superteams and some epic collapses to go along with them
Wemby vs Joker is gonna be the match up I'll be watching for the next few years! Both will be on mount Rushmore. I know it's too early for Wemby but I see the potential
As it stands, Jokic will cook Wemby on raw strength. But the potential is there for the skinny boy, and he's on the right organization to avoid becoming a trainwreck and actually achieving something instead of just wasting his enormous potential.
Nuggets 2nd superstar/star/allstar, Jamal, was also not available for almost 2 years and 2 post seasons that Jokic had been great. That's unfortunate but it's part of the NBA.
Yeah, unfortunately half the time he was injured and never on the level from Utah and Atlanta years. Technically Jokic played with another All Star Jameer Nelson 🤣
Joker has all the qualities a great player should have and he has improved them because of his exceptionnal professionalism, his mentality and his mental. And despite this perfect mastery, he remained creative. And he knew how to adapt his game to his body shape to avoid injuries and excels in mastering the 2, to continue to progress. I've never seen it taken to this extreme and such an IQ in 50 years. His personnality and the fact that he his discreet, respectful, cherful and humble, make him an example for young people, and undoubtedly make him my Top1 and yet I loved MJ, Bird, Duncan, Nash, Magic, Hakeem, etc.. Joker is not far from perfection and he is A, if not THE, Reference now.
Correction on the DeAndre Jordan part. Jokić also played with Paul Millsap, who was an All star with Atlanta You still spitting my boy. Great content!!
I know I'm going out on a limb with this wild prediction...but fuck it. I predict that by the time he retires, Jokic will have 3-5 rings and will be in the GOAT conversation with Jordan, with most of the pro-Jordan crowd arguing that Jokic can't be the GOAT because he was an average defender. The dude is that good.
Five rings would certainly be out on a limb at this point. I think 3 is definitely feasible and that would put him top 10 alone. IF he does get to 5, I think we are talking possible Mount Rushmore for sure. BUT the higher you get in these discussions, the more discerning the conversation becomes. AND Jokic's average defense will be factored in, I think.
While Jokic is probably going to be a hall of famer saying that he is close to MJ is outrageous cuz Jokic has to win more rings and be like DPOY Elite to be in the conversation at all.
Nikola jokic is the BEST player of this decade and i will make a video of how historic he has been, as well as a Micheal Jordan vs lebron James debate vid and a curry vs magic vid!
I've always said the media loves marketing players that play a flashy perimeter-oriented game. The media loves highlights of crossovers, 3s, stepbacks, drives to the basket, athleticism, and dunks. Jokic's game isn't like a Luka, SGA, Curry, KD, LeBron, etc and that's why those guys get more marketing than the reigning champions.
I really wish I could see how well Jokic stacks up playing against the real elite big men in history instead of thriving in the weakest times the NBA has ever been. He's the only one I pay attention to these days.
Jokic has been playing like the second best player of all time, albeit with lesser defense but also a lesser supporting cast. Similar in the sense of smarts over athleticism, awesome rebounding, hyper-efficient shooting from all three levels, and insane playmaking as a big man. Of course, the parallels to Bird is not because of their complexion but because like Larry, Nikola should have been the first since Bird to 3-peat MVP.
I don't like attributing Jokic as the "True King". In fact, in basketball context, I consider the title "King" as an insult nowadays. His title "The Joker" is fine. It's his identity as a person at it's also very thematic how he makes a fool of the league that continues to under-appreciate him.
LOL don't worry THIS rate isn't going to last. I have had the time these last few weeks AND since I have now been doing this for almost a year, I'm getting faster and better. BUT, over the next two months I am going to be traveling a bunch. Still hoping to get out my previous standards of around 3-4 per week. BUT, in May and June you can expect a TON of videos for the playoffs. MANY THANKS to you for watching as many videos as you can find time for lol 🙏❤
Here's to Jokic getting his 3rd MVP and 2nd Ring, King Plumber owning the modern players that would have "dominated" the plumber era.

@@sedlyholmes3722you clearly don’t know much about Jokic or his routine, dude lifts AFTER every single game he plays most on the team DO NOT.
@@kylehowe6761 i know what i meant is he's not going to gym fully and gain some real Muscles
why cant anyone here just accept that Lebron was great during his time in the league. its crazy how nobody respects him and sees his greatness.
If Jokic simply made a Big 2 with someone, it would literally be over for the rest of the league 💀💀💀
Living here in Colorado, I can confirm, The Joker doesn't care about any of our arguments. But he chose to stay, when tempted, if ya know ya know. We appreciate you big guy. Thanks for giving Jokic his damn respect too.
It's good that he's in Colorado, away from all that BS. Otherwise, he wouldn't be happy.
Jokic doesn't cry to MVP, Jokic isn't selfish, Jokic doesn't have any superstars helping him to get a chip, Jokic doesn't stat pad its just natural to him and Jokic didn't leave Denver and he bringed Denver's first chip in history. The only players I respect is Jokic, Bird and kobe bryant them both didn't leave their team but they stayed loyal until retirement we should question Lebron about these. Thank you for this video Skap Jokic does own this era. #JOKIC3RDMVP
Not only is Jokic one of the players in the NBA, he is easily one of the players ever.
Not
Jokic is the reason I started watching the NBA again last year after not watching for 5 years.
Too bad joker doesnt seem to like playing. He could easily play till his 40s and demolish all of lequeens stats
He actually could play till he's 40. His game is not predicated at all on athleticism and he is durable as hell (knock on wood).
That's a myth, Jokic loves basketball and his record for games played is a proof. Since he started playing in the NBA only 6 players had played more games than him. He also plays into the joke of just been a job and barring injuries he will play in his late 30s for sure.
Joker loves basketball. He just doesn't care for things surrounding it like media and other shenanigans
He loves basketball. I bet he hates the current NBA culture.
He likes basketball, he dislikes everything else that is surrounds basketball, anything that takes his precious time away from him.
The mass media only DROOLS over advanced analytics when talking about LeBron!!!
If he goes back to back this tear with his 3rd MVP he's a top 10 historical player for me considering the insane competition in the west right now and his statistical dominance.
Slow down there Pepe
I wish Jokic can knock out Lebron James in the playoffs once again in his NBA Career
It MIGHT happen...but I personally would rather just see them eliminated in the play-in tournament lol
@@skap_attack LeBum should protest the play-in and refuse to suit up if the Lakers have to rely on it again to get into the playoffs and have to beat another team or two to qualify for the playoffs lol. What a hypocrite
@@skap_attackI dont know why you talk to much smack about Lebron when you never even made the league. Mad glazing everyone but then hates on lebron. Nice one!
10 of 10 triple dub 🤯
EXACTLY 💯
Even in the no defense era, that is impressive.
@@Laneous14Is it though?
@@darrengordon-hillit is
Jokic is the Plumber Final Boss. Favourite player of this era
It’s crazy that a guy with only a 5 inch vertical is the best player in the NBA. It definitely disproves the notion that the super athletes of today would dominate the older eras.
Jokic > Lebron . 1 ring from him means more than 3 of lebrons
2016 worth more than jokic career
I can't disagree with that...
@@presidentialkingdom2201no..
@@unknownname6519 yes..
Nah Jokic's ring worths more than any Lebob ring. If he wins 1 more, he surpasses the clown from Akron for sure.@@presidentialkingdom2201
Unlike what Perk said, he isn't stat padding or trying to chase a triple double for MVP votes (unlike a certain Philadelphia player). It comes naturally and he plays within the flow of the game.
The guy is like a synonim for basketball really.. the perfect all-around hooper with a winning mentality. Here is a hope for more players developing like Jokic in the future
Nicola Jokic is the Fedor Emelianenko of the NBA lol
If my Nuggets pull it off again, it’ll be awesome. I want Jokic to go down with the names like Russell and Shaq. A true winner. He’s a statistical monster. And the media hates him. They love when their cry baby LeBum gets stats. But when Jokic does it they don’t care.
I'll have Nikola Jokic on my team anytime and as a die-hard Sacramento Kings fan, my Sacramento Kings got him and the Nuggets in just a few days so we are finna have our hands full woth Nikola Jokic
Agree! Same for my 76ers, we here in Philadelphia who worship the work Nikola puts in.
@adriansmith5279 That's cool but bro every time I play against Nikola Jokic is MyCareer on NBA 2k24, the dude is basically a glitch like he's hard to stop
In 10-15 years, we'll say that Jokic was better than Lebron. 100%
I believe he will be, now IF the mainstream actually gives him that credit is yet to be seen...
MJ and Wilt were both better than LeBron
10 to 15 years? Were already saying it
@@muscadineman45pritchett82 😂 They both are not the GOAT. I can argue many players were better.
Even if he isn't crazy good, breaking records every other week, he is and example for any player and human being. Humble, hard working, profesional, no drama, no crying, no faking, no attention seeking, just does his job, sticks to his company, tries to improve and help all his teammates, and puts family values first.... And against all media machine and in most despicable fake stars manufacturing....
Jokic playstyle is unprecedented. A top tier centre combined with a top tier floor general equals Jokic
Excellent content as always, Skap! My 2 favorite players of all time are Kobe and Jokic, so I really appreciate the way you page homage to both of them, especially when the mainstream media does anything but!
I mean. Idgaf about jokic stats. Just watching him alone screams of his dominance. And when the game is on the line, with jokic you get the sense of calm.
While with lebron. If his teams doesn't have a double digit lead. You begin to panic that he will choke.
In terms of peak best, Jokic is possibly top 5 already. Greatest is determined by championships and accolades so he has a ways to go in GOAT conversation. His peak is a great as any I've ever seen.
people be praising athleticism and yet players like Jokic and Luka dominating the league while looking like not even trying lmao
EXACTLY! 🤣
Brain over muscle
Jok and Luka are very strong probably they can run longer too, they just dont care for muscular loook they focus on gaining stamina and strenght and most people think visible muscles are stronger but its a myth
@@Jonekkk933 It's just like casual people to call strongmen/powerlifters fat when they don't realize they have a ton of muscle. Being around 400 lbs and being 6'5 or taller is average when it comes to those powerlifters/strongmen.
Jokic has the endurance of an ox and easily outpaces lots of bigs and he can play every minute if he wanted. Probably play all 82 games too because of how his body is like, built for endurance.
New era NBA has no defense 😂😂
Speaking of owning this era we need the 2010s video!!! I know you don't want to have to talk about Lebron's 3 rings during that time but thankfully he has 5 finals losses, 2 superteams and some epic collapses to go along with them
3 rings thanks to miami heat,Wade,Bosh,Allen
Irving and Love
DAVIS😂😂😂
It's refreshing to see a plumber and a fireman dominate in this era. Keep the hits coming skapp😭😭
Wemby vs Joker is gonna be the match up I'll be watching for the next few years! Both will be on mount Rushmore. I know it's too early for Wemby but I see the potential
That WILL be a VERY fun matchup. Jokic, the ultimate offensive weapon and Wemby is a hell of a special defender.
@@skap_attack hell yeah 😎
As it stands, Jokic will cook Wemby on raw strength. But the potential is there for the skinny boy, and he's on the right organization to avoid becoming a trainwreck and actually achieving something instead of just wasting his enormous potential.
Jokic is the reason to watch this type of nba
While the Nuggets dont have all stars, they have a good team with everyone in their right places.
Michael Porter Jr and Murry are really good players.
Jokic doesn't say that he's the best, he shows us with his game. Unlike someone else I know.
Nuggets 2nd superstar/star/allstar, Jamal, was also not available for almost 2 years and 2 post seasons that Jokic had been great. That's unfortunate but it's part of the NBA.
Jemal never played that good in a season to be an allstar
5:10 he played with Paul Millsap too not only that he came in Denver as a perennial all star
Yeah, unfortunately half the time he was injured and never on the level from Utah and Atlanta years. Technically Jokic played with another All Star Jameer Nelson 🤣
I LOVE what Jokic does. I know he plays an excellent game but can you imagine if his true passion was basketball? ❤❤
The great KING NIKOLA.
I love it. He fits the "Plumber" narrative 😂. He's detroying the NBA competition
I hope he gets 6 rings so nobody can keep him out of the goat debate.
Might as well, Same amount rings as the Tim Duncan and the Spurs' Dyansty
Joker has all the qualities a great player should have and he has improved them because of his exceptionnal professionalism, his mentality and his mental. And despite this perfect mastery, he remained creative.
And he knew how to adapt his game to his body shape to avoid injuries and excels in mastering the 2, to continue to progress.
I've never seen it taken to this extreme and such an IQ in 50 years.
His personnality and the fact that he his discreet, respectful, cherful and humble, make him an example for young people, and undoubtedly make him my Top1 and yet I loved MJ, Bird, Duncan, Nash, Magic, Hakeem, etc..
Joker is not far from perfection and he is A, if not THE, Reference now.
He and Luca are doing phenomenal but will never be the face of the nba!
He also played with Paul Milsap who was a multiple all star.
The only stat that will ever matter for any sport is do you ultimately make your teammates better?
Jokic did also play with Paul Millsap who was a 4x all star with the Hawks
Great White Hope. The Man got one ring and you ride him like a horse in the derby.
If Jokic wins ring this year again,he is top 5 in goat convo ,no doubt
I was noticed at all star ,when jokić doing funny coach moment,everyone lean in to hear it..if that is not low key respect ...
Correction on the DeAndre Jordan part.
Jokić also played with Paul Millsap, who was an All star with Atlanta
You still spitting my boy. Great content!!
I know I'm going out on a limb with this wild prediction...but fuck it. I predict that by the time he retires, Jokic will have 3-5 rings and will be in the GOAT conversation with Jordan, with most of the pro-Jordan crowd arguing that Jokic can't be the GOAT because he was an average defender. The dude is that good.
Five rings would certainly be out on a limb at this point. I think 3 is definitely feasible and that would put him top 10 alone. IF he does get to 5, I think we are talking possible Mount Rushmore for sure. BUT the higher you get in these discussions, the more discerning the conversation becomes. AND Jokic's average defense will be factored in, I think.
While Jokic is probably going to be a hall of famer saying that he is close to MJ is outrageous cuz Jokic has to win more rings and be like DPOY Elite to be in the conversation at all.
Jordan’s the goat but I wouldn’t care if someone surpassed him, it’s just not fucking lebron 😂.
@@jarlbalgruuf7701LeBrons the second best player cry 😂😂 Kobe fanboy iso bandants 😂😂
Nikola jokic is the BEST player of this decade and i will make a video of how historic he has been, as well as a Micheal Jordan vs lebron James debate vid and a curry vs magic vid!
I love how Skap Attack, in a video about Nikola Jokic, didn't forget to take a another crap all over LeBron James, lol.
gotta put the crap somewhere...what better than place than the porcelain throne LeBron placed on his head.
I've always said the media loves marketing players that play a flashy perimeter-oriented game. The media loves highlights of crossovers, 3s, stepbacks, drives to the basket, athleticism, and dunks. Jokic's game isn't like a Luka, SGA, Curry, KD, LeBron, etc and that's why those guys get more marketing than the reigning champions.
maybe because fans like watching flashy moves?
I really wish I could see how well Jokic stacks up playing against the real elite big men in history instead of thriving in the weakest times the NBA has ever been. He's the only one I pay attention to these days.
King of Boxscores 😂😂😂 nice one Skap!
Jokic is the second best player of all time, he will finish his career that way
I'm calling it now, Jokic 3peat coming
It’s very much Jokic and an ensemble cast. Jamal Murray fortunately is an All Star post season.
Jokic has been playing like the second best player of all time, albeit with lesser defense but also a lesser supporting cast. Similar in the sense of smarts over athleticism, awesome rebounding, hyper-efficient shooting from all three levels, and insane playmaking as a big man. Of course, the parallels to Bird is not because of their complexion but because like Larry, Nikola should have been the first since Bird to 3-peat MVP.
Great Content!
He is basically the only center with more alley-oops assists than alley-oops made. 😂
The 2020s is jokic's era if he wins a couple more and damn it I hope he wins em
Luka not even 29 an the league is really scared 😮
Joker is No JOKE!!!
I don't like attributing Jokic as the "True King". In fact, in basketball context, I consider the title "King" as an insult nowadays.
His title "The Joker" is fine. It's his identity as a person at it's also very thematic how he makes a fool of the league that continues to under-appreciate him.
Lebrons basically a dumpster fire with legs.
how are you making videos so fast?! lol, not complaining but idk if i can watch them all anymore
Scrap Attack is a MJ level beast that's how 😂
LOL don't worry THIS rate isn't going to last. I have had the time these last few weeks AND since I have now been doing this for almost a year, I'm getting faster and better. BUT, over the next two months I am going to be traveling a bunch. Still hoping to get out my previous standards of around 3-4 per week. BUT, in May and June you can expect a TON of videos for the playoffs. MANY THANKS to you for watching as many videos as you can find time for lol 🙏❤
@@skap_attack of course homie, best of luck to you and safe travels
Not bad for 41st pick during a taco bell commercial! Jokic is a bad man!
A clip for you to use. From the Elf movie Will Ferrell says "You sit on a throne of lies"😂😂
He reminds me of a 90's player. Unlike that self proclaimed king of sh#t.
LeBron sabotaged Kobe's helicopter
Jokic is the guy you build a team around. Not any of the Lebronze, Westbrook, Harden, etc guys.
Rockets had a higher chance of beating warriors if cp3 doesn't get injured 😂😂
Here is another thing, Jokic's stats lead to winning!
Why am I just finding this channel
