They are trying so hard to bait Jokic into saying something negative, man's pure class gave all the right answers.
They want him to be a white racist I'm just taking a guess of what the media wants
@@g.b.alejandro6268 Hardly got pushed at all, he shouldn't have held onto the ball to be fair.
, I've seen him approach Ishbia 🙄 then he pushes him 🙄 thats intentional even if you're saying he's fighting for the ball 🙄
@G.B. Alejandro if that's your view of intentionally pushing, I'd like to see an unintentional one
@@thesnuggles0 okay... Just tell your Jokic, to have a better eyesight. Ishbia is not Sarver.
I’m a suns fan but I love this guy. He’s an absolute animal and his comments about the owner were savage.
Gets away a lot with off left hand pushes. Fast pace becomes obsolete, still breathing hard. And owner or fan he cannot push anybody in the stands, there’s a precedent and should get game suspension💥
@Nikola Jokic the ball landed in his hands, then you IMMEDIATELY ripped it out of his hands. anything thereafter is called a consequence.
Stop lying 🤡
@@stanleef he waited till after the refs signaled nuggets ball
@@juliogalindo6238 lol fuk outta here
These reporters have the opportunity to ask players great questions and they come up with this rubbish.
diversity hires.. they gonna soon ask him.. when his gonna start wearing heels...
Jokic ate the report’s interrogations questions alive right there…
Nearly a Denver fan now. The response given by Jokic was spot on. He was sitting courtside. That's where fans sit. That makes him a fan. Simple math, speaks for itself. Also, Jokic does have a point. An owner should be trying to influence a game.
Fans or owner does not matter. You should not be threatened with physical force just because you held the ball. Jokic acted like a goon there. He was trespassing in fact because the cross the line between players and audience.
@@juanluna9112 he should be on a 1game suspension at the very least
@@theMister07 Suspension for Jokic? I don't think so. He should fined heftily to set an example but no suspension. That would be interfering with the series.
@@juanluna9112 As Adults, no matter what’s happening - we have to consider the consequences of Our actions
Way to completely spin what happened
Jokic’s basketball IQ is off the charts and the reporter asking @3:30 is hilarious, Jokic is like you know nothing about basketball how do you not recognizing an advantage situation? Soo good! How do you not love this guy?
I swear they be asking some dumb ass questions
That confused “what” had me dying
Such a dumbass question from that reporter
@@zachjohnson8355 You could tell he’s sincerely confused too🤣
that reporter mustve felt dumb after his question 😭
He’s so relieved when he’s done with this interview 😂
ayyyyyyeeeeee
Reporters are such rats making questions to damage the player smh
They are like paparazzis but with licenses so they dont get the same stigma razzis do.
Bro the question asking "why did you get the ball" was literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard
@@joshkellerman4553 it was a good question and Jokic had a good answer
He should’ve just said nothing and walked out the building
Ong wtf
"Why did you retrieve the ball?" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣 someone kick that guy please
Jokic already killed him with his stare 🤣
Some1 bitchslap him, he doesn't deserve a kick....
Jokic the real MVP. Honestly, if it was any other “fan” it would be handled completely differently.
yep 2 guards would be taking him out before the ball even got back on the court.
If he was black, he would have been tossed immediately and probably suspended for the remainder of the post season. Only privileged players can openly assault a billionaire and get off with a slap on the wrist.
@@HeHeeHeeheHe he didn’t assault the fan. The fan pushed him FIRST, on top of influencing the game before and after that. They threw out the other fan that touched Joker but not the billionaire baby, so that goes to show it was the FANS that instigated this, not Jok.
This situation is different and a Black player should’ve received the same treatment and better, just as Jok should have.
Ridiculous response
By Greytness
"He's a fan, he cannot influence the game"
Facts, all facts. The league needs to say something about this. Given he was the Suns owner, that should be considered a bench technical for delay of game, not a tech on Jokic. He's the 2x MVP, the league needs him, he deserves more respect than that. Also, Jokic going to grab the ball is consistent with how Jokic plays, he has plenty of highlights where he's rushing the inbound pass to get a numbers advantage (which is 100% fair because if a player goes out of bounds they're responsible for getting back on the court).
its no delay he held it for 2 seconds
@@33bigmoney he still held the ball
@@33bigmoney then wouldn't that make it a 2 second delay?
@@33bigmoney You buffoon, he didn't give the ball up to the guy trying to inbound. He held the game up.
@@33bigmoney he still held it after that and after he saw jokic try to take it he acted like he was a player fighting for the ball
Jokic answered questions better than any attorney on the pushing incident with the Suns owner. Very smart guy. His comment that the Suns owner is a fan and can not influence the game or touch a player, was as Trump says "perfect."
Yep, good answers. A) he's a fan, B) fans cannot influence the game, C) the fan put hands on the player. Simple.
He doesn't own the game. His business kinda sucks too
@@olphatty1 I didn’t understand your comment.
Not sure what Trump has to do with any of this
Why bring politics into it?

@@dwightyawg7781 less porn and some more cardio... Docs orders
@@BlackPantherWhip3950x great advice brother
Rewatching the play. Ball goes out of bounds. No timeout. Ref clearly signals Nuggets ball. Jokic does what he’s done a million times try to put the ball back in play quickly and a FAN stops him from doing that and the fan isn’t tossed?!? Really?!?
hard to kick out the fan when he owns the building and the team playing inside of it. the game doesn't happen without that one very specific fan funding the entire event. just a wierd ass circumstance, Joker didn't deserve a tech for that.
ball goes to the ref he cant just grab it and toss it in.
@@mccoy5542 At that moment,he is just a fan.Rules r rules.

He owns an NBA team, which is like a company, with revenues, employees, expenses and shareholders.

Called the owner. "The fan." 😂😂😂😂 that "5 on 4" answer was perfect.
Feeling frustrated for this man. Drops a 30 point triple double and they loss. Goes for 50 next game and still lose. Denver is wasting his efforts.

Agreed. Jokic is the MVP.

y’all are so obsessed with this “real mvp” thing like he didn’t win get over it already lmao. not to mention it’s a regular season award, and in the regular season any of the 3 candidates were deserving of it
@@jasongranados9593 they’re never gonna let it go lol
@@jasongranados9593 Agree. I thought Jokic was the literal best player in the regular season, but Embiid is 100% deserving too. It's always been spread out to the best players of an era, so no big deal. No previous all-timer ever got it all the times they were the best either.
I like this Joker 🃏
His brothers are definitely rolling up to Game 6
Luka was my favorite player until he started crying about every call but now it's this guy. Just balls out every game!
Liar haha he’s been crying since day one in the league you doing like him now because he’s not bookers dad 😂🤣
Whos next? Lemme guess: Chet
😂😂
So all overrated whiteys
@martin espuma what does that even mean? English not your first language?
Suns owner purposely HELD the ball to allow his player to recover on defense which is CHEATING!!! He should be FINED!
Jewish guy playing dirty what are the odds?
Suns owner was holding the ball and interrupted the flow of the game. The owner should be fined and suspended for 1 game.
I believe the rules as stated would have him being tossed and a delay of game for Phoenix.
That’s the refs job, not his.
Period.
Totally agree!!! It will never happen though
@@GeezySantana it wasn't a dead ball. any offensive player can pick up the ball and play it in
3:35 He meant "what?? TF??" He was about to swear on that stupid question..
Exactly. 'The referees "could've"...' not "should've", such a stupid baiting question from a reporter looking to bait him into a comment. Jokic is pure class.
😂😂😂😂😂
Jokers always calm even in loss
Watch the replay. Ayton held him down on the jumpball when it was 123-120. It should’ve been a loose ball foul and 2 free throws for Jokic.

"Why did you take it upon yourself to retrieve the ball?" Jokic could have answered: will I wait for Ron Artist or Dennis Rodman to do it for us?
What kinda dumb question is that asking why did you wanna retrieve the ball????
Ill be Honest if the Fan/Owner didnt interfere....it would have been a fastbreak.
That is what Nikola does
That's what he tryna do in that moment that one player from suns down the floor. Fastbreak play
Not necessarily the ball was dead so a red would have had to hand him the ball anyway and also the two whistles right after the play signaled for a timeout
@@zonabot6029 Jokic does this all the time, grab the ball, give it to the ref, ref gives it back, full court pass, 2 points for the Nuggets. It's common with him and there's nothing in the rulebook that prevents a player from doing it.
Best player in the league
Yes, but overrated in some ways too, and his deficiencies have been on display lately. He needs to improve if he wants to lead a small market team to a championship.
@@alexisrobbins1736his offensive and defensive rating is higher than Embiid

@@gunfu4481 Embiid lives in your head rent free. Nobody even mentioned him
@@gunfu4481 his offensive rating is higher, and his defensive rating is higher... do you know wht defensive rating is??? lower is better for defensive rating. embiid is inarguably the superior defender. but that doesnt matter, jokic doesnt have to be as good on defense as embiid, he just needs to be good enough for nuggets to play playoff team defense. that's a question mark with this coaching and this jokic. i also want to see more aggression sometimes on offense, and always on rebounding. too many empty calorie rebounds and assists
Jokic bout to call his Brothers 😈😈😈😈
No need for that. Nikola handled that 🤡 by himself
Why??? It ain’t no women around
What a great take by the Joker! Protect the player - don't let the fan try and be part of the game.
They can scream clap kiss a companion but not hold the ball during the game
@@echomike8591 exactly
dude is like 7 foot tall and who’s gonna touch him? protect the nba player? what a bunch of bs
@@mvrc74 so what is the height where you draw the line when player gets protected? Obviously its not protecting him from that bum that Jokic can pummel physically if he wants to. Its protecting the integrity and safety of the game and players. But not like your birdbrain can comprehend anything of what I said lmao. But real talk stay out of the conversations that require IQ of over 70. Cause you dont got it 🤣 clearly 😂
As Jokic pointed out, the fact that he was the Suns owner is irrelevant.
He's a dirty rrotten
The two time MVP is the face of NBA, the reason people watch basketball. Matt Ishbia of the Suns is just an entitled, rich hooligan. He had no business holding the ball and interfering with the play, standing up to fight for the ball, and especially assaulting Jokic who acted in self-defense. If Silver doesn't fine him, the league is corrupt. And Jokic is right: the league should do a better job protecting players. Matt might have billions but he is a punk. NBA should fine the owner and use that money to enhance security for the players. The incident of Monika Seles being stabbed by Stefi Graff's fan comes to mind.
As for the owner's friend that got ejected, I hope Jokic bros meet him in a dark alley.
Knowing Jokic and other Nuggets players, Ishbia just fueled Denver. They just got a motive to rip Suns apart.
The real MVP
He will never make the finals in his entire career 💀

he literally full sprint charges at mat ishbia and put his hands on him first, watch the replay
Jokic went soft on the owner. Jokic was justified in completely knocking him out for what he did. Suns owners should be banned from Suns games or forced to sit up in the box.
Knocking him out for not giving Jokic the ball???
I agree with you but owners are super privileged, they cant even get kicked out of the game.
They kicked out a random fan instead😂

Well Joker is correct. When you're in the court side your a fan, even if you're the owner. The NBA should protect the players to the fans.
why are these reporters acting surprised and taking the side of the Sun’s owner? didn’t another Sun’s fan get kicked out for touching Jokic? so then why the double standards and not kick out the owner? this league is hilarious
Because of the Western values, that is why.....even the blind can see, after the last couple of years....
Jokić is unreal
@3:38 jokic “what” 😂😂😂
Reporters...smfh. Sounds like bias reporting to me. If that was just a "normal" fan, the questioning and overall sentiment would have been completely different.
Just because the owner has money and possesses the team doesn't mean they can act like an idiot and not get held accountable.
The fact that someone else was kicked out when the owner initiated AND escalated the whole incident shows how the rich/wealthy constantly get off scott-free.
Exactly
Joker: “WHAT?!”
😂😂😂
He had 53 points, and all these boot lickers want to talk about is 'how dare he touch someone important'. The owner should have been kicked out and fined for setting a bad example for the fans. He is not a part of the game. Therefore, should have given up the ball and stop interfering.
It's these "subtle" ways of showing the world who's really in charge, when even a multimillionaire sports superstars get a clapback for daring to just do their job.
He was so happy to leave 😂

"Why did you take it upon yourself to retrieve the ball?"
Jokic: WHAT?!
good to see the media waited a whole 90 seconds before asking about the push
He’s a fan isn’t he 😂😂
As a Suns fan Jokic is a damn beast. I don’t want the league to suspend him for this stupid crap. I want to see the best players keep going at it. Fans are getting there money worth seeing the best players on both sides going at it
Malone is right the intensity in defense was not the same in their arena.
It is important to put some Suns players outside of their comfort zone.
I thought that on watching the game.
Murray needs to be more agressive too, he was not enough influential in those 2 games.
He always blames himself even though it isnt ever his fault they are losing games. He needs a better coach
he isnt blamig himself here even though he was wrong
@3:38 WHAT?!? 😡 lol
I agree with his response about the owner.
Bruhh he looking at all the Americans like “what? You guys don’t protect the players” they like “ but Nigga you pushed the owner nigga the OWNER” he replied “he’s a fan right ?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The owner shouldn't be holding the ball and trying to wrestle it away from players.
@@Dr.Van.Nostrand: It is not the player's job to get the ball. Refs always handle the ball before inbounds plays.
@@rastiga9196 That doesn't change anything I said. Why is he holding the ball and pulling it away from Jokic? That's ridiculous. There shouldn't be a double standard just because he's the owner, no one else in the crowd would be able to do that.
@@rastiga9196 Do you know how often the ball goes outta bounds and a fan will toss it back to a player or the ref....quite a few. Do know how many fans or billionaire NBA owners catch a ball outta bounds and then refuse to give it back to a player or ref? One.
@@rastiga9196 The fan refused to give the ball back and put hands on a player, but here you are complaining about the player getting the ball? Amazing.
03:33 "why did you take it upon yourself to retrieve the ball?"
what a stupid question. I was hoping Jokic would react like Westbrook when he hears a stupid question.
Reporters out fishing for headlines. Need to be doing their job. Asking stupid questions like we've never seen Jokic do that before. Jokic rushes inbound passes all the time, it's nothing new.
3x mvp fasho got robbed. They felt sorry for Joel
Adam Silver needed a new ballsack to ride
Jokic is 100% right. It is great how he frames things and "player" and "fan".
Uhhhhhhhh, ummmmm, uhhhhhhh. He speaks English so well but just takes a sec😂😂 always cracks me up he’s a tank!!
3:36 LMFAO I AM CRYING LOOOL!!!🤣
Am I the only one who noticed that Jokic has been playing out of his mind since Embiid got the MVP?
Joker wearing a Batman GMT Rolex is ice cold 🥶
Batgirl
I wonder if the owner realized what was going on and held on to the ball to slow down the 4 on 5.
Well the timeout the coach called would have probably would have also slowed it down 😂
The Owner is a former College Basketball PG lol. He didn’t need to think, those flopping instincts kicked in instantly
He is by far a better player than Embid. By far.
Embiid lives in your head rent free
Only one sport where clout in the front row of the stands matters.
3:31 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@andreyv1 Delay What Game? Score was 53-54! Nuggets wasn’t doing Much 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That question about getting the ball actually helped the Joker give clarification to the importance of why he needed to get the ball back in play immediately.
Maaan they can’t do nothing with Jokic’..like damn!..it’s like he a grown ass man playing against kids. Smh
Not only do the Sun's players flop... so does the owner....
Why is volume so low??
Jokic is right! the owner of the franchise does not have the right to intervene in the game. Had it been Shaq instead of Jokić, he certainly wouldn't have touched the ball.
This guy Jokic is an awesome player. However, he is not getting enough from the other guys all the time. About MVP, of course he is the one but they wanted to break the monotony by awarding Embiid who has hunted it for years. It was a surprise even for Embiid. Jokic resume again next year. Assuming Nuggets win and Lakers, the Joker has no chance against the Lakers led LBJ. LBJ and the lakers will definitely win another one. I won’t be surprised if it becomes a repeat of the bubble and possibly payback time for the Heat. 2006/2011 Heat and Mavs payback. Time will tell. On the flip side, Nuggets will stand a better chance to the final if they advance against Suns and eventually go through Oracle. What are your thoughts?
U r the MVP this season! We all know
Because the league doesn’t want to see someone who got 3 in a row without a championship.
He maybe, but he won in a year when he could have lost, he is a great player, and the person who win is a great player also.
It seems to me that the reporters are trying to instigate conflict in almost every area. They don't want to discuss the game; they want to create riffs between Jokic and the NBA; between he and his head coach; and he and his teammates. It's pathetic how they try to incite controversy during these after game sessions.
And Ps: The Real MVP Jokić
Nicest guy in NBA
I mean Booker got the mascot out of the game for trying to distract him during a free throw.
The league shouldn't take any measures, it was just the heat of the moment, plus nothing happened, it isn't a big deal.
The man is very intelligent…
The fan should be kicked out if he try to influence the game [by holding on to game ball]. This man doesn't care if this fan owns the Suns' franchise. Joker is right that money and power shouldn't give any courtside spectator the privilege to taint the integrity of the sport.
If the Nuggets lose this series, I think Jokić may ask for a trade. He’s being wasted by crap tactics and not enough help. If you have to score 50+ to keep your team close you’d probably be annoyed as well.
He needs to team up with Lebron, Steph or Luka. Lakers, GSW or Mavericks.
Unfortunately for him, he’s gonna be loyal in my opinion. He’s said before he really admires franchise players and he’s the kind of guy to stay in Denver. But if he does leave, he will immediately make any team better. He’s not like other guys like Embiid or Giannis who have to have the ball in their hands at all times; he can play make, score, and does it on ridiculous efficiency and with low usage. He’s the ideal teammate in my opinion, alongside Curry and LeBron. Guys who are smart, skilled, humble, and willing to play the role they’re given.
Jok plays to win but he aint KD, hes loyal
I don't think Jokic is built like that. He's not gonna ask for a trade because they didn't get it done their first try in 3 years. He signed the contract, I'd imagine he intends to honor that contract. Plus Denver's FO hasn't been sitting around playing footsies for the past few years, they've been actively trying to build around him and improve the team, why would he up and leave that.
@@09lowkey he also said he wants to stay with the franchise his entire career
Joker is funny...that's a MAN!
That’s part of game, players also has emotions.
Just proves that this guy should have been mvp. Just the differential itself is crazy when he is not on the court playing with his team.🤔
3:30 obviously we can feel the reporter asked this really stupid question full of hate and disrespect🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Jokic looked like he was gonna murder him
Ban the "fan" he tried to influence the game. He (the "fan") should appologize.
Some of these questions are so clownish…..
Jokic should have knocked the dude up into the rafters. The ball belongs to the players, not the fans or the owners. Besides, Jokic doesn't play for the owner of the Phoenix Suns. Why should HE know who's sitting courtside? Or care?
Saying that the owner should have been kicked out - gold
See how the REAL MVP doesn’t throw his teammates under the bus after a loss? 👀🙄
"what"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
