Years ago in an interview for Serbian media, he claimed that Shaq's been the most dominant player to ever touch the ball. He's got huge respect for him, for sure.
Funny thing is these blowout games where Jokic gets 20 point triple double and sits out 4Q might cost him MVP as his average ppg drops. That just shows you Jokic does not care anout MVP. Je wants to be healty and fresh for the playoffs

Jokic is genuinely a good human being. Shaq disrespected him so hard last season after he won the MVP but the Joker truly seems to not care about it. Most players in the NBA with their gigantic egos would have a beef for life with Shaq after that.
That was the best Joker interview I've ever seen! My guy pulled for Westbrook, had fun. Even tried to really explain why he should be MVP without and cliches. If Denver keeps that way, he should be MVP. Hopfully there won't be any voter fatigue.
if Joker wins a Chip this year, he will be the first to win a chip with RW0 - not Lebron, not KD, not Harden, not Kawhi, no one. even now, RW0 has never played better and more structured. Joker - even with all his accolades - is still underrated. best player in NBA for last 4 years
Out of all of them, the Joker is the best playmaker and has a higher IQ with the most fundamentals out of all of them. Actually hes more skilled offensively than all of them. Its not surprising.
Nikola Jokić is averaging the most PPG, RPG & APG since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He’s also the first center since Kareem to reach 5,000 career assists 🔥 Right now, he is 3rd in PPG, 3rd in RPG, 2nd in APG, 4th in SPG & 1st in 3P%. 4th MVP award incoming? 🤔

Jokic and Westbrook 🔥 it pains me to say this as a Heat fan but as an NBA fan their connection is great. Westbrook has always been one of my favorite players. (not the best but my favorite)
I really like Jokic, Luka. The way they play the game is amazing. My personal favourite is injury ridden, Kawhi. My 3 favourite players. I also like KD and Steph.
Top 10 all time for sure. I don't care about athleticism. It's a moot point anyway. He is strong af and, as far as the players that played against him say, he can run the floor as good as the next guy. His conditioning is top tier.
Joker appreciate this belt more then an a MVP award! It;s coming from Shaq, and i know (personally) how much he appreciate a president of BMA! Let's be real - Joker is MVP for a 5th time in a row and it's not even close (anyone still supporting Joel;s MVP in a Trophee season for Nuggets and Joker???)... i rest my case!
They want to give the MVP to someone who hogs the ball to score the most points 👉 and who's team won a few more games over the guy who does it all has higher overall stats.
The talking heads always say Jokic is having the best season of his career.. Then when the talk goes to the MVP there is always the "BUT" SGA. Anyone that says that SGA should be the MVP over Jokic is either ignorant of how the game is played or has some sort of bias. The ONLY justification they give is OKC's record. SGA is averaging ONE POINT more than Jokic and Jokic smokes him on every other important offensive stat including assists which is not normally a strength of a big man. But the voters, with their bias such Mark Jackson and Kendall Perkins will hold his heritage against him. Which is both ridiculous and disgusting.
When Jokić was 8 year young 50 Cent was in Serbia Belgrade and that show open Belgrade Arena and in that arena is the best basketball atmosphere in the world...Home of" Partizan" and "Red star" Belgrade
Someone might have told him she played basketball for an American women's team before an interview or something, otherwise no he certainly wouldn't pay attention to that
Shaq was dominant but he wasn't a leader and he cant close out. Jokic has everything. Im a jordan and curry fan, hated lebron but i can see his greatness too. However, jokic tops them all. He can when he wants, he can pass when he wants.
People misunderstand the Embiid thing. It’s not him ducking Joker so much as he has always had a “reason” to not play IN DENVER. He has only played here TWICE - once in 2016 and once in 2019. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he miraculously recovers and plays in their next matchup in Philly, where he’ll play lights out and claim to own Jokić 👍🙄
JOKIC enjoyed the belt more than his MVP's and ring!! Hes smiling for the first time
Shai MVP, Jokic Ring!
If he Becomes MVP its History. If He doesn’t its still History on how politics and r^(e effec. Sam on what happened last time with Embid😅😂
Years ago in an interview for Serbian media, he claimed that Shaq's been the most dominant player to ever touch the ball. He's got huge respect for him, for sure.
The oligarchs that spend a few billion for their nba toy chests will want the most profitable MVP, not necessarily the most valuable player……🙃
Credit to Jokic for saying how great Westbrook is.
He pushed for Denver to sign him

He dropped a 40 point triple double the next game. He definitely cared lol

I think Shaq realized that he made himself look foolish and changed his tune.
@@Ben-il3ocI wrote my comment and then saw yours 😂

I've never heard of a doubtful win against the 76ers this year 😆
How many years has Murray been "ascending"? Best believe that Russ' stellar play has lit a fire under him.
Shaq listening to Google translate in background is hilarious😂😂😂
1:38 Shots fired at LeBron James.

Just imagine Russ in his prime time... They would be like Bryant and O'Neal or like Malone and Stockton.
Voters are going to try to rob Jokic of his 4th MVP just because of voter fatigue. THEY BETTER NOT. He is LEVELS ABOVE SGA.
Shaq with his pic on the belt, so shaq like, probably have his 4 pic rings on the belt

Those two teans in LA with a bunch of all time greats caught a stray lol
Mr.mvp him self
jokic performing many men at the all star weekend would definitely get some to stick around. that would break the internet, for good or for bad
Easily the best segment from the B crew, Lefkoe killed it with trying to get Jokic to sing Many Men.
In context. Mike Collins made MJ the 1 for a brief period in the 80s. MJ had 10 triple doubles...in only 11 games.
