The funniest part is how it’s pissing people off. I kind of get why, “you won the finals, show some emotion!!” but it’s like he was unfazed when they all said “B2B MVP with no ring”, he didn’t come out guns blazing stirring up the media, he kept doing his thing and buying into his guys. And the people who say he shows no emotion didn’t watch the postgame coverage. I think the moments of him dunking Murray in the pool and dumping beer on KCP WERE his versions of the o’brien and FMVP trophy.

Don't worry, he's called himself "the most consistent NBA analysts" after his awful take. At least he's the type of person to understand and learn from his mistakes. Not some kind of idiotic narcissist that people can see directly through.....
Scary thing is…Jokic has A LOT of basketball left to play. Honestly such a privilege to watch him play for has redefined what a center is capable of. Like he practically averaged a 30 point triple double on 55-47-80 splits. That is absolutely absurd.
Redefined what a center is capable of, yes I agree. But he's 1 of 1. I don't see other bigs suddenly mimicking his skill set. They can't match the numbers and %.

@@uberneanderthal he won't, but he could! He barely seemed even happy winning the championship or finals mvp.

@@usercanceled5010most of the time though, centers tend to accidentally fire it off something. Plus Jokić can usually get really good bounces on the rim that makes it really impressive.
To me that's his most impressive attribute: his ability to finish with quality after taking the ball down court and shooting the short technique shots. I have never seen a big man do that with such consistency and ease.
Jokic is suffering from the same thing every great player does that doesn't play in a major sports market (that means New York or LA). The press doesn't see his work every night and gets caught off guard by what is happening in Denver. Locals know who Jokic is. So do opposing coaches. It is just the talking heads. Makes me wonder why we even listen to their commentary when it is not based in fact.
@@kennethward4985 Which is interesting because a team that never made it to the Finals with a man who dominates everything and was notably, always in discussion for season MVP, versus a team who doesn't really have one of the massive star players, and is the 8 seed they barely made it through sounds more interesting than the two big names going at it .
I don't listen to them unless it's to hear a particularly bad take, so I can point and laugh. Otherwise I'll listen to former great players because they actually know what they're talking about.
Joker reminds me of another Tim Duncan just need to himself doesn’t take to social media or act a fool outside the off-season. He just shows up and dominates. Which is why Duncan is the best PF to ever play the game. And if joker continues to play this way he could take that title from Duncan but joker and nuggets will have to win 5 more. I think they could do it to. Cuz now a lot of other players wanna play with joker and the nuggets now after this great Run.
Jokic is inspirational on a whole other level. He shows us all what matters in life and is a role model in life in general. I don't think we've ever seen such a humble guy who shows it continuously and really sticks to it. The audience relates to him more than any other super star in NBA
6Man thank you for your videos of Joker for the past couple of years! You kept us in check with your unparalleled breakdowns, fueling our hope that maybe one day, the rest of the world will see him for what he truly is. That day has finally arrived, and I'm sending people links towards your videos as a testimony to Joker's greatness and your awesome analytical skills.
Like a great Quarterback, Jokic dominates the game with his lightning quick mind first, then physical actions. And since he does most everything extremely well, this makes him almost undefendable. Just ask Anthony Davis, he is now a believer.
Discovered your channel after your first Jokic video this season. You cover him perfectly, you genuinely don't miss on a narrative storyline or analysis. Thank you for this season 6man, cant wait to see you grow your channel more and more
We're seeing now, more clearly than ever, who does and who doesn't watch basketball. It's pretty depressing how many people who are paid to talk about it, do not.
Jokic biggest problem is that he doesn't showboat. He doesn't make the game about himself. He is not a gloryhound and it is the team and results that are of the greater importance. It is very hard for NBA to sell a man who is not larger than life. It is all about appearances nowadays. Jokic is at this moment in time, the ultimate "TEAM" player!
As a long time Jokic fan, I want to give my props to AD, that smile while shaking off his head after Jok hitting buzzer beater only made that shot even more iconic!
I discovered your channel a few years ago since i am a pistons fan, but man, you have done nothing but gotten better and better. This is by far your best video. Keep going!
Live in Denver and was at game 5. Jokic is the BEST at passing I’ve ever seen for a big man and his touch from all over the court is uncanny. Listen to what he said at the parade today. He is a humble, and funny as hell guy.
I don’t think Nick realized what kind of fear Jokic presents to a defender. The way he’s playing, you have to settle for either a bucket or a dime, there’s no third option for you.
It's unbelievable how people still say that he doesn't play shit, that he's a joke, etc dude, the guy is just art on the court, its so good to watch him play, damn
I am so grateful that Jokic is a nugget, I hope he plays in Denver for the rest of his career, he very well could become the best player that our franchise has ever seen, and will see for generations. 11/10 player and role model for the youth.
@ayochill9716, this. He's easily the best Nugget ever and arguably the best Denver athlete ever. Elway probably still #1 though, but he's on his heels.
Jokic is just an absolute monster on a basketball court and he is just getting started. The only way you are gonna stop him is try getting him in foul trouble or fouled out!! I can see Denver going on a massive run with Jokic at the helm!
I’m so happy you are getting views. You’re a wonderful basketball thinker, and your love for NJ’s skill set has been well documented forever. Keep it up, brother.
Jokic being a "bad" defender is one of the most egregious takes I've ever heard against him. The dude is a solid defender, even elite at times. I still vividly remember AD resorting to mid Js in WCF coz he can't do sh*t under the basket. Yes, he may look like a fish out of water in PnR due to his unathleticism, but dude is good defender 1v1. You can't just have a video of clutch blocks then being categorized as a "bad" defender.
Something almost nobody mentions is his sheer defensive **Strength** - i.e. - Joker isn't getting moved unless Joker _wants_ to be moved. - Nikola is NOT falling over 3-5x every half like AD Kat and Embiid will. I've rarely seen him hit the deck more than twice all game, if ever. This goes beyond mere durability or muscle-power - and is a skill in itself due to the balance, conditioning, leverage and footwork needed to be so consistent every game.
I'm from Serbia and let me tell you the secret.. Jokic is literally doing Serbian street basketball xD We have basketball courts all over the place, and while we were kids, all of us constantly kept playing against other groups in the neighborhoods. While watching him I see a lot of moves from the streets and I'm loving it :D
I also super appreciate the love AG is getting because of Jokic and the Nuggets strategy. He is a super athletic player, but I was scared that he was the stereotype dunk champion that didnt get minutes. Fortunately, Jokic and the Nuggets strategy made him flourish as a solid role player
I’m a Phoenix Suns fan my whole life I know it’s hard and that man is on real blown away by his skills I’ve never seen a center that could do what he can do
Folks.. Im 65 and seen the 60s till now..just awesome. Jokic..is incredible. Add personality to the game stats and he wins on that by far.This guy is the best player I have ever seen. He doesn't have a real long career but he doesn't need one.
Great video. He's only half way through his career and I've already have him a top 5 center of all time. When he's done I think they'll be alot of ppl will b saying he's top big guy.
This man is the most unappreciated player in the league. Man is a generational talent and solidified himself as one of the top 5 centers of all time. If he continues his run he could put himself into the Top 3 big men of all time.
He gives me Larry Bird vibes. I know he's a different size of player but Jokic has the same pushing power and passing finesse. And...great 3 pt prowess. I hope he wins more titles.
Yes not sure why people think you need to look like Adonis to play basketball. You need a lot of skills which help you put a ball in a hoop. That's it. His body shape, skin color, ethnicity... Have no bearing. He makes baskets and plays harder than competitors. It isn't black Magicka here folks.
The things that Joker does on the court can't be taught or learned. Just an efortless talent... When Jokic retires, we are gonna be waiting awful lot of time until some kind of player like him again steps on the court.
They don't like Jokic because he's not the standard muscley, speedy, and jumpy athlete. Watching him play compared to others is night and day. He just plays so effortlessly without all the flashiness that most players have with their moves and antics.
he's a better defender than most... the thing is its not flashy at the same time he's careful about not getting fouls as he is needed more for every minute of the game
If people did not believe up in till this season that Jokic Was a top-five player. The joke is on you. This man has all the potential in the world to not only be one of the best players in the NBA for years to possibly the best player for the NBA for years to come, but also a top 10 all time NBA great as well.
Jokic is a passing savant, he sees where the player and ball could be. He also doesn't care how goofy he looks when he shoots. Plenty of players can hit shots, they just refuse to look goofy. Jokic has a ring, they don't. Seems they should follow what jokic does.
More important, Jokic put those numbers in a total of 20 games, of a potential 35. So if the series were a little big longer the numbers would be out of the chart
After being snubbed by voters for 3rd MVP, I am grateful he won the finals MVP as well the Nuggets first championship! He is a great player and his humility is good for the league as well as the fans.
i didn't see these stats anywhere for The Diesel, but for sh*tz n giggles I've seen him play hundreds of games, so wonky as this seems, he's about here: *Shaq - 0-3ft: 87% 3+ft :22%*
This is like an NBA version of Moneyball- everyone thinks they can predict the talent of a player because of the player's attitude, and stops looking at the stats. Jokic's stats don't lie, he's just a nice guy
Further proves that talking about sports professionally doesn’t require any knowledge of said sport. Amazing what these guys can get away with. Imagine being wrong about your job day in day out and still keep it. Amazing.
Even after joker wins the championship the talking heads still won’t give him any respect which is totally fine with me because that’s how dynasties start let’s go nuggets B2B
I have watched a lot of NBA and a lot of basketball in general since the early to mid 80s. I, like most of you, have seen stars rise and watched great players come and go, from Moses Malone, Kareem, Magic, Bird, MJ, Barkley, Olajuwon, Pippen, Shaq, Kobe, Ewing, Lebron, Curry and now Jokic. I know these terms of "generational talent", "beast" and "GOAT" get thrown around so easily, but this dude is seriously unstoppable. He showed that night in and night out and the scary thing is, he is hitting his prime and the Nuggets will add more players to help him, so this is just the beginning I feel. His playoff run in 2023 will be talked about forever as one of the greatest individual performances ever. Right now, in my opinion, he is the best player in the world, but as NBA history goes he is just another great player, but add 1-2 more championships (or MVPs) and he climbs into the top 50 of all time with ease and maybe in the talks of top 10 before his career is over.
To get to all time top 50 is hard as heck. NJ is probably already there. Because of his style of play, he might even bring real changes to the future of the NBA.
the typical sports talking heads rely on shitting on the best players i’m just glad to see that jokic is the first player to just not care about what they have to say but aaron gordon has been one of the most spectacular players in terms of changing his game and humility. he went from a first option type player in orlando to a 3rd/4th option finisher in denver and it’s great to see a player like that that can be humble and know his role on the team and be excellent at it.
Not a Nuggets fan or even necessarily a joker fan that much but I recognize the skill and he deserved a ring so I’m glad he got one, I don’t like when superstar players go their whole career without getting a ring…. I’m also rooting for Luka to get one as well.
as a proud black man i must say, kendrick perkins must be racist to think its racist to say jokic is the best player... i mean- hes just the best. even stevie wonder can see it.
Watching Jokic play is like someone combined the passing ability of Stockton, the basketball IQ of Bird, and the shooting ability of Dirk with the size of a big dude. No wonder the analysts don't understand... he's a nightmare to plan against.
Jokic is sick. It was such a pleasure watching him dominate in the playoffs this year...especially how they embarrassed the Heat. Great job on this video, and the title is spot-on!
seeing bit of larry legend. love to see it. jokic just became my new favorite. not just because he embarrassed everyone who talked shit on him. not just because he swept lebron. but because he's a good guy and a humble winner.
what Americans dont understand about basketball is that its 50%mind 50%tactics doesnt matter who has the bigger star or who jumps higher and Denver this year had all of that and this is the reason why Jokic and Doncic prefer watching Euroleague
BUT basketball is a sport where your physical ability (talking about things like height, size, and speed) matters GREATLY. I get what you’re saying, but still basketball is one of the sports that requires a lot of athleticism and good build. Other sports like baseball, soccer, etc don’t require a good build, though having a good build helps of course
The best offensive player ever, unguardable 1v1 + one of the best passers ever is the deadliest combination. With really underestimating defense, makes him in the top 10 players ever for me, he just needs more rings and accomplishments and he could be top 3. He will never be hyped like MJ or Kobe, but this is the era for true basketball lovers, we are witnessing history, he is truly one of a kind, poetry in motion, unguardable slow-motion! :)
"best ever" is subjective objectively, this era is : fast-paced + low-level defense + insane amount of 3s = unprecedented stats it is easy to confuse a disparity or abundance in one era as translating to dominance in any other. The variables are so many as to render most player comparisons across eras to be almost meaningless.
He did all this in his first ever Finals. Think about all the greats who played in multiple Finals over their careers and he surpassed all of them. I'm not saying he is the GOAT but you gotta give props where they are deserved and Jokic deserves mega props.
As a European, I can only be happy that Jokic (but also Doncic, Giannis) dominates the NBA; in Europe, basketball is the real thing, there are sophisticated plays, serious team work, rarely does a player put his ego above the team. On the other hand, in the NBA for the past decade or so I can only see lazy rude superstars that the only thing they care about is take insanely big money, join superteams or pretend to be thugs. The NBA has long forgotten what true basketball is and relies only in selling tickets; enough with so many dunks and three pointers! plus, 82-game season is a joke. Speaking of jokes, the ''Joker'' is far too clever for the average NBA big man, or for the current NBA mentality as a whole; I believe that coaches there should see a couple of Eurobasket games so that they learn how he could be contained. I am so glad about the Denver Nuggets, they are a team that made slow steps towards becoming the best. It was a long way to the top but they stayed united and confident about their abilities and it finally paid off. I wish they retain next year. They are enjoyable to watch!

Jokic a great player in 2023 nba is a good basketbalĺ celebrity to watch how far he can sustain his greatness.
That Nikola Jokić, even after strong contacts, has a very soft hand and scores baskets literally off balance, that's incredible.
Its like theres a 4' invisible funnel over the basket.
@@usercanceled5010 It's amazing because no one else is doing it.
@@usercanceled5010most of the time though, centers tend to accidentally fire it off something. Plus Jokić can usually get really good bounces on the rim that makes it really impressive.
almost every time his shot hits the rim, it bounces softly and goes in. I've never seen a softer touch, especially from a big man.
To me that's his most impressive attribute: his ability to finish with quality after taking the ball down court and shooting the short technique shots. I have never seen a big man do that with such consistency and ease.
Jokic is suffering from the same thing every great player does that doesn't play in a major sports market (that means New York or LA). The press doesn't see his work every night and gets caught off guard by what is happening in Denver. Locals know who Jokic is. So do opposing coaches. It is just the talking heads. Makes me wonder why we even listen to their commentary when it is not based in fact.
The NBA too, even after watching this great Finals, they would rather it was Boston and L.A.
@@kennethward4985 Which is interesting because a team that never made it to the Finals with a man who dominates everything and was notably, always in discussion for season MVP, versus a team who doesn't really have one of the massive star players, and is the 8 seed they barely made it through sounds more interesting than the two big names going at it .
I don't listen to them unless it's to hear a particularly bad take, so I can point and laugh. Otherwise I'll listen to former great players because they actually know what they're talking about.
Joker reminds me of another Tim Duncan just need to himself doesn’t take to social media or act a fool outside the off-season. He just shows up and dominates. Which is why Duncan is the best PF to ever play the game. And if joker continues to play this way he could take that title from Duncan but joker and nuggets will have to win 5 more. I think they could do it to. Cuz now a lot of other players wanna play with joker and the nuggets now after this great Run.
@@Drave_Jr.I just saw a post somewhere about Giannis v Jok Finals next year and that would be a crazy series to watch
Jokic didn't scare his opponent, he humbled them.
Before humbling them, first he _befuddled_ them.
Jokic is inspirational on a whole other level. He shows us all what matters in life and is a role model in life in general. I don't think we've ever seen such a humble guy who shows it continuously and really sticks to it. The audience relates to him more than any other super star in NBA
His 3pt shot looks so ridiculous, like it's going to hit the ceiling, but then it just swishes in with no rim at all. Truly marvelous.
like Larry Bird
6Man thank you for your videos of Joker for the past couple of years! You kept us in check with your unparalleled breakdowns, fueling our hope that maybe one day, the rest of the world will see him for what he truly is. That day has finally arrived, and I'm sending people links towards your videos as a testimony to Joker's greatness and your awesome analytical skills.
Like a great Quarterback, Jokic dominates the game with his lightning quick mind first, then physical actions. And since he does most everything extremely well, this makes him almost undefendable. Just ask Anthony Davis, he is now a believer.
Finally a smart comment.
Were lucky to witness his greatness. His cerebral play and team oriented play is a pleasure to behold
Discovered your channel after your first Jokic video this season. You cover him perfectly, you genuinely don't miss on a narrative storyline or analysis. Thank you for this season 6man, cant wait to see you grow your channel more and more
We're seeing now, more clearly than ever, who does and who doesn't watch basketball.
It's pretty depressing how many people who are paid to talk about it, do not.
Jokic biggest problem is that he doesn't showboat.
He doesn't make the game about himself.
He is not a gloryhound and it is the team and results that are of the greater importance.
It is very hard for NBA to sell a man who is not larger than life.
It is all about appearances nowadays.
Jokic is at this moment in time, the ultimate "TEAM" player!
As a long time Jokic fan, I want to give my props to AD, that smile while shaking off his head after Jok hitting buzzer beater only made that shot even more iconic!
I discovered your channel a few years ago since i am a pistons fan, but man, you have done nothing but gotten better and better. This is by far your best video. Keep going!
What do all-time greats do? They open new dimensions in the game. That's what Jokic is doing, and it's mesmerizing.
Live in Denver and was at game 5. Jokic is the BEST at passing I’ve ever seen for a big man and his touch from all over the court is uncanny. Listen to what he said at the parade today. He is a humble, and funny as hell guy.
Never saw Walton in his prime or bird in his prime did you?
@@johncooper8537 Yes, I did. Bird is still my favorite player, Walton can’t hold a candle to Jokić.
I don’t think Nick realized what kind of fear Jokic presents to a defender. The way he’s playing, you have to settle for either a bucket or a dime, there’s no third option for you.
It's unbelievable how people still say that he doesn't play shit, that he's a joke, etc
dude, the guy is just art on the court, its so good to watch him play, damn
I am so grateful that Jokic is a nugget, I hope he plays in Denver for the rest of his career, he very well could become the best player that our franchise has ever seen, and will see for generations.
11/10 player and role model for the youth.
He already is the greatest player in Denver history. He broke multiple records and milestones for Denver within one season
@ayochill9716, this. He's easily the best Nugget ever and arguably the best Denver athlete ever. Elway probably still #1 though, but he's on his heels.
We all know you had your money on Jokić and the Denver team years ago.. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am 😊
Oh he's enjoying it. 🤩
Jokic is just an absolute monster on a basketball court and he is just getting started. The only way you are gonna stop him is try getting him in foul trouble or fouled out!!
I can see Denver going on a massive run with Jokic at the helm!
Joker has the last laugh on BLM NBA.
@@skydust1269Jokic is not Russian.
3 Europeans are in the top 10 current players in the league , hard to swallow pill.
I’m so happy you are getting views. You’re a wonderful basketball thinker, and your love for NJ’s skill set has been well documented forever. Keep it up, brother.
Jokic being a "bad" defender is one of the most egregious takes I've ever heard against him. The dude is a solid defender, even elite at times. I still vividly remember AD resorting to mid Js in WCF coz he can't do sh*t under the basket.
Yes, he may look like a fish out of water in PnR due to his unathleticism, but dude is good defender 1v1. You can't just have a video of clutch blocks then being categorized as a "bad" defender.
Something almost nobody mentions is his sheer defensive **Strength** - i.e.
- Joker isn't getting moved unless Joker _wants_ to be moved.
- Nikola is NOT falling over 3-5x every half like AD Kat and Embiid will.
I've rarely seen him hit the deck more than twice all game, if ever.
This goes beyond mere durability or muscle-power - and is a skill in itself due to the balance, conditioning, leverage and footwork needed to be so consistent every game.
I'm from Serbia and let me tell you the secret.. Jokic is literally doing Serbian street basketball xD We have basketball courts all over the place, and while we were kids, all of us constantly kept playing against other groups in the neighborhoods. While watching him I see a lot of moves from the streets and I'm loving it :D
I also super appreciate the love AG is getting because of Jokic and the Nuggets strategy. He is a super athletic player, but I was scared that he was the stereotype dunk champion that didnt get minutes. Fortunately, Jokic and the Nuggets strategy made him flourish as a solid role player
i call Gordon _SuperGlue_ cuz he fills every gap with superior athleticism
like a combo of Shawn Marion x Chuckster
I’m a Phoenix Suns fan my whole life I know it’s hard and that man is on real blown away by his skills I’ve never seen a center that could do what he can do
Folks..
Im 65 and seen the 60s till now..just awesome.
Jokic..is incredible.
Add personality to the game stats and he wins on that by far.This guy is the best player I have ever seen. He doesn't have a real long career but he doesn't need one.
Great video. He's only half way through his career and I've already have him a top 5 center of all time. When he's done I think they'll be alot of ppl will b saying he's top big guy.
I think it's the best playoff run ever. this guy is as elite as I've ever seen. just the beginning.
Jokic is on pace to be one of the best shooters of all time , his numbers from anywhere on the floor are riddiculous
This man is the most unappreciated player in the league. Man is a generational talent and solidified himself as one of the top 5 centers of all time. If he continues his run he could put himself into the Top 3 big men of all time.
True
I can see him retiring and being in the top ten discussion with that level of play
The Jokic- to-Aaron Gordon alley oop has become one of Denver's most lethal plays. NBA's best passer to highest jumper is unstoppable.
He gives me Larry Bird vibes. I know he's a different size of player but Jokic has the same pushing power and passing finesse. And...great 3 pt prowess. I hope he wins more titles.
Yes not sure why people think you need to look like Adonis to play basketball. You need a lot of skills which help you put a ball in a hoop. That's it. His body shape, skin color, ethnicity... Have no bearing. He makes baskets and plays harder than competitors. It isn't black Magicka here folks.
Thanks for speaking some truth!
Congratulations on the championship guys. Well deserved.
The things that Joker does on the court can't be taught or learned. Just an efortless talent...
When Jokic retires, we are gonna be waiting awful lot of time until some kind of player like him again steps on the court.
Actual artist. Such beauty watching him play
They don't like Jokic because he's not the standard muscley, speedy, and jumpy athlete. Watching him play compared to others is night and day. He just plays so effortlessly without all the flashiness that most players have with their moves and antics.
he's a better defender than most... the thing is its not flashy at the same time he's careful about not getting fouls as he is needed more for every minute of the game
Exceptionally well put together video and voiceover. Well done!
If people did not believe up in till this season that Jokic Was a top-five player. The joke is on you. This man has all the potential in the world to not only be one of the best players in the NBA for years to possibly the best player for the NBA for years to come, but also a top 10 all time NBA great as well.
Will you do a season review for Jokic and the nuggets like last year? I really loved that video
Jokic is a passing savant, he sees where the player and ball could be. He also doesn't care how goofy he looks when he shoots. Plenty of players can hit shots, they just refuse to look goofy. Jokic has a ring, they don't. Seems they should follow what jokic does.
More important, Jokic put those numbers in a total of 20 games, of a potential 35. So if the series were a little big longer the numbers would be out of the chart
NO, Embarrassed ESPN and media. NIkola has great respect for his fellow NBA players
for and from. both are true.
Jokic is amazing. He's unique and just fun to watch. I'm thrilled he got his finals MVP and championship.
I'm glad you put the red arrow in the thumbnail. Otherwise I would never have been able to tell where he was.
😂
After being snubbed by voters for 3rd MVP, I am grateful he won the finals MVP as well the Nuggets first championship! He is a great player and his humility is good for the league as well as the fans.
another legendary breakdown!!! he was like maestro with orchestra playing most beautiful symphony!
Career shooting % by distance:
Giannis - 0-3ft: 75% 3+ft: 36%
LeBron - 0-3ft: 74% 3+ft: 38%
Embiid 0-3ft: 74% 3+ft: 43%
Steph - 0-3ft: 65% 3+ft: 46%
Jokic - 0-3ft 72% 3+ft: 58%
i didn't see these stats anywhere for The Diesel, but for sh*tz n giggles
I've seen him play hundreds of games, so wonky as this seems, he's about here:
*Shaq - 0-3ft: 87% 3+ft :22%*
Just as Jokic is a genius in basketball, so are you in the interpretation of the same, such an honor.
This man isn’t MVP because he commands fear on the floor, its because he commands respect on the floor
What I love most is that even though he is so great, he is also a really likable person... So many athletes are so annoying, entitled little beaches
Nick Wright having a show is one of biggest mysteries ever.
This embarassment was long overdue for a league full of celebrities, clowns, traitors, coattail riders but scarcely real athletes.
The best performing player the league has literally ever seen and people call him the worst MVP in 35 years.
Joker is the literal embodiment of "you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."
His opponents aren't terrified, they are comatose from the fear
This is like an NBA version of Moneyball- everyone thinks they can predict the talent of a player because of the player's attitude, and stops looking at the stats. Jokic's stats don't lie, he's just a nice guy
Hey nice work! Enjoyed the writing, editing and of course Joker’s game
Further proves that talking about sports professionally doesn’t require any knowledge of said sport. Amazing what these guys can get away with. Imagine being wrong about your job day in day out and still keep it. Amazing.
Even after joker wins the championship the talking heads still won’t give him any respect which is totally fine with me because that’s how dynasties start let’s go nuggets B2B
There was this quiet, ignored by the press, guy, 199th pick on the 2000 NFL draft. It seems he too did good after that.
they hated on jokic for losing in the playoffs without murray. its ridiculous. if murray was healthy they coulve beat whoever beat em in 21 and 22.
Cause he's not a show-off or flamboyant when he plays. He's humble. It's a job. That's all it is. A job that paya really well. No need for extra shit.
I have watched a lot of NBA and a lot of basketball in general since the early to mid 80s.
I, like most of you, have seen stars rise and watched great players come and go, from Moses Malone, Kareem, Magic, Bird, MJ, Barkley, Olajuwon, Pippen, Shaq, Kobe, Ewing, Lebron, Curry and now Jokic. I know these terms of "generational talent", "beast" and "GOAT" get thrown around so easily, but this dude is seriously unstoppable.
He showed that night in and night out and the scary thing is, he is hitting his prime and the Nuggets will add more players to help him, so this is just the beginning I feel. His playoff run in 2023 will be talked about forever as one of the greatest individual performances ever.
Right now, in my opinion, he is the best player in the world, but as NBA history goes he is just another great player, but add 1-2 more championships (or MVPs) and he climbs into the top 50 of all time with ease and maybe in the talks of top 10 before his career is over.
To get to all time top 50 is hard as heck. NJ is probably already there. Because of his style of play, he might even bring real changes to the future of the NBA.
1:53 That one legged fadeaway was also off the wrong foot. Literally unguardable.
the typical sports talking heads rely on shitting on the best players
i’m just glad to see that jokic is the first player to just not care about what they have to say
but aaron gordon has been one of the most spectacular players in terms of changing his game and humility. he went from a first option type player in orlando to a 3rd/4th option finisher in denver and it’s great to see a player like that that can be humble and know his role on the team and be excellent at it.
He backs it up with his action. Two MVPs and the NBA championship so far. I'm envious of Denver Nuggets. Enough said.
I feel like people don't realise how great a passer Jokic truly is yo!!
Also his quick hands on defence is reminiscent of Marc Gasol.
Joker is based. Horse riding giant, a man of legend.
Not a Nuggets fan or even necessarily a joker fan that much but I recognize the skill and he deserved a ring so I’m glad he got one, I don’t like when superstar players go their whole career without getting a ring…. I’m also rooting for Luka to get one as well.
Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Most of the players have been insufferable the last 10 years. We need more people with class in the NBA.
The Joker just did his thing and the WOKE NBA crashed as the racist organization it is. Silver looks like something out of a Grade B horror movie.
as a proud black man i must say, kendrick perkins must be racist to think its racist to say jokic is the best player... i mean- hes just the best. even stevie wonder can see it.
Watching Jokic play is like someone combined the passing ability of Stockton, the basketball IQ of Bird, and the shooting ability of Dirk with the size of a big dude. No wonder the analysts don't understand... he's a nightmare to plan against.
Terrific video. Clear, concise analysis, not too long... subscribed!
It is amazing how long it took before the Media recognized how good Jokic is.
The Suns and Lakers went in expecting to win their series and were absolutely shocked when they didn't.
@@chanty2192 he is legend.
What? He had back to back MVPs.
Jokic is sick. It was such a pleasure watching him dominate in the playoffs this year...especially how they embarrassed the Heat.
Great job on this video, and the title is spot-on!
Beautifully made and said, mate! Cheers 🍻
seeing bit of larry legend. love to see it.
jokic just became my new favorite. not just because he embarrassed everyone who talked shit on him. not just because he swept lebron. but because he's a good guy and a humble winner.
what Americans dont understand about basketball is that its 50%mind 50%tactics doesnt matter who has the bigger star or who jumps higher and Denver this year had all of that and this is the reason why Jokic and Doncic prefer watching Euroleague
Nah, its what most PEOPLE don't understand about _life._
....how else is gambling such a huge business?
BUT basketball is a sport where your physical ability (talking about things like height, size, and speed) matters GREATLY. I get what you’re saying, but still basketball is one of the sports that requires a lot of athleticism and good build. Other sports like baseball, soccer, etc don’t require a good build, though having a good build helps of course
also Jokic is just a big dude. So that contributes a good amount to his success
Thx for every post on Jokic, you were with us believers all the way!
The best offensive player ever, unguardable 1v1 + one of the best passers ever is the deadliest combination. With really underestimating defense, makes him in the top 10 players ever for me, he just needs more rings and accomplishments and he could be top 3. He will never be hyped like MJ or Kobe, but this is the era for true basketball lovers, we are witnessing history, he is truly one of a kind, poetry in motion, unguardable slow-motion! :)
"best ever" is subjective
objectively, this era is : fast-paced + low-level defense + insane amount of 3s = unprecedented stats
it is easy to confuse a disparity or abundance in one era as translating to dominance in any other.
The variables are so many as to render most player comparisons across eras to be almost meaningless.
Eff the haters. I hope this year will finally put to rest all the awful takes and deceptive narratives about Jokic. Thanks for the great analysis.
He did all this in his first ever Finals. Think about all the greats who played in multiple Finals over their careers and he surpassed all of them. I'm not saying he is the GOAT but you gotta give props where they are deserved and Jokic deserves mega props.
As a European, I can only be happy that Jokic (but also Doncic, Giannis) dominates the NBA; in Europe, basketball is the real thing, there are sophisticated plays, serious team work, rarely does a player put his ego above the team.
On the other hand, in the NBA for the past decade or so I can only see lazy rude superstars that the only thing they care about is take insanely big money, join superteams or pretend to be thugs. The NBA has long forgotten what true basketball is and relies only in selling tickets; enough with so many dunks and three pointers! plus, 82-game season is a joke.
Speaking of jokes, the ''Joker'' is far too clever for the average NBA big man, or for the current NBA mentality as a whole; I believe that coaches there should see a couple of Eurobasket games so that they learn how he could be contained. I am so glad about the Denver Nuggets, they are a team that made slow steps towards becoming the best. It was a long way to the top but they stayed united and confident about their abilities and it finally paid off. I wish they retain next year. They are enjoyable to watch!
