Yep, like Jordan is the GOAT not because of rings or records but because how fluid, natural, even artful he made every move and play seem. Jokic has that same gift.
@@Donschningo i wouldn't say so, he definitely can score, but watching from the Finals, imo he should've demanded the ball more in the clutch when his teammates were shooting poorly.
I've never seen a player have such amazing passes every game. Its every game. He makes multiple passes, every game, that make you yell "ohhhhh". Thats not even mentioning all his other skills
Lebron and Doncic in this era, and Trae Young also but he can’t make every type of pass because of his size, and Magic, Bird and Kidd back then. So yeah Jokic is basically in the Top 5 best passers of all time
@@ronbonora7872 Maybe with his jumping and stuff but it's not the same. Jokic's passing is utterly ridiculous as well as his incredible post moves sometimes.
True, he tackles every play with the goal of creating the most effective play possible, his only stat padding is his shooting %, because if he sees that a teammate has a better chance to score, he will pass the ball. I had never seen a center playing like a PG with such effectiveness. If Chris Paul was 6'11" and couldn't jump high, he would play like that.
the way I heard it mentioned is that he sees all the passing lanes that the opponent sees from him but chooses to pass on the one they didn't see. Most of the time he has 2-3 passing options and it's always either a cutter or a corner three
0:23 Dirk would be proud of that Fade Away 2:04 Hakeem would be proud of that Dream Shake 2:10 Magic and White Chocolate would be proud of that Showtime pass
"2:04 Hakeem would be proud of that Dream Shake" LOL Hakeem was never that slow, he'd be apologizing for that, and the defense. Jokic's a fine passing center, maybe even Sobonis level, but he's no Hakeem.
@@craigjones9372jokic passing/playmaking ability is arguably top 5 ever bro he is way passed sabonis lvl dumbass he averaged almost 10 ast on the last 2 seasons not to mention jokic makes every player around him better with his unselfish play….also hakeem would be proud of jokic,its not about how fast or slow u do the move its about utilizing the move n making it effective which jokic does….your a casual bro go actually watch the sport
1:49 he threw a look away pass that the opponent anticipated, tried to get to, but NJ threw it so well just using peripheral vision that it got to his teammate over the defender’s outstretched fingers. I’ve only ever see one other person who could do that - and they called him Magic …
yeah the dude knew Jokic’s game and was so excited to catch that option… his passing is just impeccable, some people don’t even pass that good while looking at the target
They will loose Bruce Brown almost certainly. He has got a player option which he will most likely decline. Other teams will be willing to pay him 10-15 million. But the core of the team will stay together. Maybe Denver could sign Will Barton in free agency. He is not Bruce Brown but he knows the system and can play reasonably defense. And they could get him for the minimum.
I started noticing Jokic back in the 2018-2019 season. At first I just heard the name once in a while in sportscenter and shows like that, but it kept increasing steadily. Then before the bubble I paid more attention and watch more games and I realized this dude was something special and became a fan. It hurt when the Lakers won in the bubble over them and then when Jamarl and MPJ got injured but I was feeling he would do something special one day, and that day came this season. People who call him "boring" are just stupid or salty fans that got beaten by this monster of a player
I had stopped paying attention to modern basketball for a long time except for the finals and even then - meh! Then I saw some random video showcasing his passing in 2019 and was instantly back in just for this guy. He plays like the old timers played. Somewhere, someone went into a cave in Sombor, Serbia, and there was a block of ice. And they chipped away and out popped this prehistoric basketball player, Nikola Jokic... Tommy Heinsohn said that about Bird a long long time ago and it fits Jokic even better I think given how long it's been since we've seen real basketball like this
I'm a Knicks and, and my dream is to see this sort of basketball at MSG someday (I mean the Nuggets style). Jokic is awesome, but his teammates know he'll find them if they get open so they are incentivized to make cuts, screens, run hard on the break.... it's so much fun to watch.
In the future we will have many mentioning him in the GOAT conversation. This is a team sport where guys with personal goals shouldn't be welcome. For too long this game was under the influence of these selfish guys worrying about their personal legacy, getting attention, sponsors, money etc. And each of these guys needed World class teammates (like Pippen, Shaq, Rodman, Gasol etc) to achieve greatness. Nikola is whatever you need him to be but most of all he's going to make everyone around him feel good and overperform. There's a reason why this kind of basketball is beautiful to watch - it's because your instincts are telling you that this is how it's supposed to look like!
I would advise anyone that reads this to do whatever you need to do to watch this man play live. I’ve seen him 3 times in multiple cities and he’s yet to disappoint. Always the best player on the court regardless of his matchup.
I wouldn't say so. A lot of the fakes, a lot of the complex post moves. For example he adds fakes where hypotetically it would work just as a pass without it. He is just efficient
@@ogposer always in focus. That "serbian" focus like Novak Djokovic has, for most people looks like they are arrogant without smiles, but its not true . 😅
I had given up on the NBA decades ago because of arrogant over paid, dramatic, self-centered players and the list goes on. Well along comes Nikola Jokic and he renewed my interest with the recent title series for the Nuggets. What a humble gem of a guy. And it took a foreigner to bring class back to the game, what a shame. By the way I hadn't watched a game in probably 30 years until now. Thanks Nikola!!
Oh I'm with you all the way BC. I stopped watching since 2004 hoping my Sac Kings would make it.... no luck there until my son said " watch Freakola Jokic, he's the best right now" Never heard of him until Game 1... LAL vs Den Nug......just keep going back to watch all his games - NJokic is the reason for this renewed interest...... so talented, unselfish and humble. Fiji loves Nuggets❤❤
NIKOLA JOKIC has changed the BIG MAN'S GAME as a SUPERB FASCILITATOR/ASSIST MAN, an ACCURATE PERIMETER SHOOTER, makes his TEAMMATES play better, has an INCREDIBLE ALL AROUND GAME with HIGH BASKETBALL IQ. His GREAT PASSING SKILLS, SHOOTING FORM and STYLE OF PLAY reminds me of LARRY BIRD. At 28, he just hit his PRIME, his BEST BALL is still to come. NUGGETS has a reliable 2nd UNIT/BENCH, is an EXCEPTIONAL DEFENSIVE TEAM, and have an EXCELLENT COACH in MICHAEL MALONE. They are capable of being a DOMINANT TEAM and will repeat as NBA CHAMPIONS in SEASON 2023-2024 🏆🏆
Should’ve been a 3x MVP this season. Jokic had an outstanding performance not only in the regular season, but also in the post season as well. It’s ashamed that the media gave a sympathy MVP to Embiid who went out sad. Jokic rightfully deserved this ring for his amazing run he had, congrats to him and the Denver Nuggets!
As a nuggets fan, he ain't the best center ever, at least not yet. Maybe by the end of his career he will be. Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq and Russel are ahead of him currently.
He’s up there but not ready to give him that title just yet. His story is not yet complete. Could be one day. That said, he definitely may be the best all around ever.
whatever you can imagine in basketball to be done, this man can do it. And still doesnt need athletic look neither speed. Everything looks effortles and easy to do when you look at him
The last entire NBA game I watched was Kobe’s last game in 2016. Now, Jokic has my attention, I love his game & style, seeing him hit that off-balance three against the Lakers (which was ultimately the difference maker point-wise in completing the sweep) then casually running back to defense was hilarious and refreshing in an era where too much celebrating after each three goes on.
You took my word...to be even funnier, he scored similar three over Lebron, then over AD again...and God knows how many times in the regular season, including the buzzer-beaters.
This man not only deserves 3x mvp goat status, but he literally earned it! Real recognize real! Kobe Bryant said jokic would win an mvp, & he went on to win 2 consecutive mvps! Unreal.
Nikola Jokic! The Joker! Big Honey! The Serbian Savant! The Janitor! The Big, Big Fundamental! The Son of Sombor! The People’s Champ! And let’s not forget…The MVP!
Having watched the game in the 70’s he brings back memories of Pistol Pete and the Celtics the way he passes. There’s very few times teams can defend him, and then he adapts. Nuggets rallied behind one of the best Centers in the game now.
Basketball poetry in motion! The only other player I have seen doing those insane touch passes consistently was Larry Bird. And that's only one of the things he does on an elite level. It's going to be a wild ride the next few years! And I'm not even a Nuggets fan...
im thinking man how beautiful is it, jokic leading these movements and passes, and this team can finish man i realized im watching one of those beautiful times in basketball like so many times in the past i didn't see hey great edit guys. watched a few videos and yours is really really good. the music, the announcers, the clips, the replays, the vibes. very well done. learning from you
What is funny is that MPJ told on a podcast that Jokic don't really aim for those shots. He just try to get the shot off and throw closer to rim so they can get a rebound opportunity but Nikola is such a basketball genius talented god of basketball who can just make those without even wanting to. Truly blessed by the gods of the sport. He make those consistently went he just throwing it up so they can at least hit the rim. Nikola touch is all time great. I never seen someone having a touch like him. Even went he miss the shots someone go in rolling into the rim or bouncing from the rim to going in or bounce to the backboard. you never feel like he actually miss till someone get the board.
a basketball genius .... I'm a huge Jordan fan, but this guy may be more skilled as an unselfish floor general ... everything is effortless.... makes no mistakes
. Compare prime Jokic stats (2021,22,23) to prime MJ stats and Jokic wins. Jordan scored more points but had a much worse field goal percentage so not really a win if you ask me. Jordan more chips but Jokic is just hitting his prime the last 3 years. Jordan started hitting his prime in 87 and it wasnt until his 5th season of playing at that level that he won his first chip.
@@lapocasini1246 did u rly just compare stats of player who is playing now with someone who played 30-40y ago😂game and rules was much different u cant compare that,mj would avg 40 today,nad jokic would avg lees than now,now its much easier to score+defense is shit lol
I just hope the media accepts the ridiculous L for the disrespectful storylines and not giving this man MVP this year. Embiid, despite his greatness, is now forever the poster boy for sympathy MVP
He can see everything at the same time and can read the situation immediately to decide what he should do next. He is definitely going to influence how the game will be played in the future.
I don't think he'll influence much. This level of genius is impossible to replicate. There is only one Gretzky, MJ, Pele, Zidane, you can't teach this.
It's not that simple. Bill Walton had a similar skill level and he influenced centers to pass the ball from the post, that can be "thought" to some extent, but the playmaking ability, the vision and awareness... this is natural talent, Jokic pass off the dribble and in transition, only Sabonis kinda get close, but that's it, it's super hard for a big and heavy players to perform like this
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Walton had 6000 career pts, and Sabonis was too old to show how good he could be in the NBA, so those are bad comparisons. Jokic is doing something no big man has EVER done, as a long-time starter.
@@rebeltvr6046 Both Walton and Sabonis struggled with injuries, it's unfair to compare career accomplishments in the long run. But their skill level in the rare instances that injuries were not limiting them, the skill is similar. The difference is the consistency, Jokic never gets hurt, he is playing for a long time, the core of Jamal, Gordon and Porter is a thing for years now, etc.. And again, Walton did inspired other centers to use the post not only to attack 1v1, but also for passing. Sabonis was more a flashy passer... the basic fundamentals for passing in the post, it can be "thought" as I said, but the court vision and overall playmaking skills, that's not something Jokic can "inspire" others to do, you can't learn this kind of stuff. The upcoming center will not pass the ball more because of Jokic, it's not that simple
First player in 30 years I can compare to Bird, but Jokic is humble and not a trash talking ass. LOL. Not knocking Bird but he loved to get in guys heads with words. Jokic gets in their heads when his offense just keeping coming and coming until the final buzzer.
Is Jokic the best european NBA player of all time ?

Watching that had me in awe. I couldn’t process how the nuggets made all those. Prayers were answered 😂
This man is an excellent passer. He sees all of their positions and makes the best choice all the time. What a talent! Jokic for Finals MVP.
True, he tackles every play with the goal of creating the most effective play possible, his only stat padding is his shooting %, because if he sees that a teammate has a better chance to score, he will pass the ball.

Watching Jokic unconsciously run the triangle offense with Murray and Gordon in an era of 5 out iso ball is a thing of beauty.

Uncanny how many of these highlights are in important late parts of the game to take lead, tie, or bring it into One possession,.Masterful~
5:35 “And Joker is celebrating, he loves this play”
Jokic: 😐
we are witnessing once in a lifetime greatness right here
The fact that he can casually throw the ball completely across the court, one handed, accurately enough to assist o.0
I love how teamy he plays. He seems like he could score anytime he wants, from everywhere, but he passes and assists so much!
I love you golden hoops biggest fan I have watched all you vids and shorts and liked every one your a real hero❤
Awesome mix!!
This guy is Larry Bird, Bill Walton, and Kevin McHale all rolled into one player.
bird and walton tryhard on defense
"Which position can you play?"
"Yes"
nah but those threes by Jokic on AD ... unbelievable
like he literally just puts the ball behind his head and throw it towards the basket
What is funny is that MPJ told on a podcast that Jokic don't really aim for those shots. He just try to get the shot off and throw closer to rim so they can get a rebound opportunity but Nikola is such a basketball genius talented god of basketball who can just make those without even wanting to.
Truly blessed by the gods of the sport. He make those consistently went he just throwing it up so they can at least hit the rim. Nikola touch is all time great. I never seen someone having a touch like him. Even went he miss the shots someone go in rolling into the rim or bouncing from the rim to going in or bounce to the backboard. you never feel like he actually miss till someone get the board.
Most pure skills of a center EVER - and couldn't be a greater team player and couldn't be more modest.
We've run out of adjectives to describe this man's talent.
Whoever made this thank you
Gordon Jokic is a blast to watch.
how come a lot of people say he's slow and boring but all I see is that they didn't even saw him coming
Golden hoops I love your videos keep the good work up❤
wow he is sooo good and how he leads the team it’s just amazing
Funny part is when Jokic hits those incredible 3s over AD, he doesn't even celebrate. Acts like it was a casual layup in warmups. 😂
a basketball genius .... I'm a huge Jordan fan, but this guy may be more skilled as an unselfish floor general ... everything is effortless.... makes no mistakes
LMFAO you guys are hilarious
🤔
. Compare prime Jokic stats (2021,22,23) to prime MJ stats and Jokic wins. Jordan scored more points but had a much worse field goal percentage so not really a win if you ask me. Jordan more chips but Jokic is just hitting his prime the last 3 years. Jordan started hitting his prime in 87 and it wasnt until his 5th season of playing at that level that he won his first chip.
@@lapocasini1246 did u rly just compare stats of player who is playing now with someone who played 30-40y ago😂game and rules was much different u cant compare that,mj would avg 40 today,nad jokic would avg lees than now,now its much easier to score+defense is shit lol
@@ziginaigra Whatever, i still think Jokic brings out more in a team.
Great talent , great to watch .
I just hope the media accepts the ridiculous L for the disrespectful storylines and not giving this man MVP this year. Embiid, despite his greatness, is now forever the poster boy for sympathy MVP
Its like whole lakers team from the 80's in the one man!!!
He can see everything at the same time and can read the situation immediately to decide what he should do next. He is definitely going to influence how the game will be played in the future.
I don't think he'll influence much. This level of genius is impossible to replicate. There is only one Gretzky, MJ, Pele, Zidane, you can't teach this.
@@rebeltvr6046 FACTS
It's not that simple. Bill Walton had a similar skill level and he influenced centers to pass the ball from the post, that can be "thought" to some extent, but the playmaking ability, the vision and awareness... this is natural talent, Jokic pass off the dribble and in transition, only Sabonis kinda get close, but that's it, it's super hard for a big and heavy players to perform like this
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Walton had 6000 career pts, and Sabonis was too old to show how good he could be in the NBA, so those are bad comparisons. Jokic is doing something no big man has EVER done, as a long-time starter.
@@rebeltvr6046 Both Walton and Sabonis struggled with injuries, it's unfair to compare career accomplishments in the long run. But their skill level in the rare instances that injuries were not limiting them, the skill is similar. The difference is the consistency, Jokic never gets hurt, he is playing for a long time, the core of Jamal, Gordon and Porter is a thing for years now, etc.. And again, Walton did inspired other centers to use the post not only to attack 1v1, but also for passing. Sabonis was more a flashy passer... the basic fundamentals for passing in the post, it can be "thought" as I said, but the court vision and overall playmaking skills, that's not something Jokic can "inspire" others to do, you can't learn this kind of stuff. The upcoming center will not pass the ball more because of Jokic, it's not that simple
First player in 30 years I can compare to Bird, but Jokic is humble and not a trash talking ass. LOL. Not knocking Bird but he loved to get in guys heads with words. Jokic gets in their heads when his offense just keeping coming and coming until the final buzzer.
he’s just so deadly 😂
I swear I’ve seen a gazillion games where AD just gets cooked on the receiving end of Jokic’s plays lol 😅
Just an ordinary Serbian boy. HIGH IQ. strength, endurance. courage, respect for honor and most importantly spite
2:04 his post moves here are so unsexy, but he keeps at it & gets a bucket. Zero glamor but he’s unrelenting & scores. Ya gotta love it.
He went vs Rudy Gobert and KAT then vs Ayton KD then vs Davis and Bron and now Bam and Jimmy and none of them come even close to stopping him
