Yeah instead of bullying the opponent down under the basket and laying it in, they would rather see him flop all over the court and watch him shoot 12-15 free throws a game like their favorite players
the irony of suggesting the lakers should duck the nuggets in favor of the thunder while simultaneously saying SGA is the MVP over jokic. corporate sports media is filled with clowns.
And they cant bring up supporting cast, because the okc starting lineup is arguably just as good, and they have a way better bench. Okc bench ranked 13th and Denver bench ranked 25th.
And okc bench is the only bench in the league shooting above 40% from 3 and they lead the league in BPM with +845 while denver bench shoots 33% from 3 and has a -463 BPM.
They won't stop trying to convince us that Jokic's game is boring,😑 but it will never fly. Jokic is magical! In football he would be a midfield general!🔥
If his game is boring I guess i don’t like what they think is fun to watch he is so much more fun to watch them just some dude dunking or shooting 3 after 3
It was the same argument they had against the Spurs back when Timmy, Parker and Ginobili were kicking ass. Everyone said they were boring, but if you love the game, they were the most fun to watch.
@@derosa8736 Watch a video from Skap Attack or Uncut Hoops, they’ll explain it better. Everything goes through Jokic more than Luka, Jokic is far more efficient and far better on defense. Nuggets are also more successful than Mavs. No disrespect to Luka, he is amazing and wildly entertaining to watch, but Joker will be in the GOAT conversation, barring injury or early retirement.
And a slow European guy that doesn’t even like playing basketball lol. He’s out there winning MVPs and a chip and he’d rather be home with his horses lol.
Jokic had greatest degree of difficulty all year. Best player in the NBA everyone gunning for you . Every team specifically game plans for Jokic. Every time you hear oh AD can shut him down. Gobert can shut him down. He always destroys them just to prove it to the haters time and time again. Should be his 4th MVP. People just hate because they don’t like efficient basketball. He’s humble and people like flashy big mouths. Best passing center of all time. Smartest center of all time. When have you ever seen an offense ran through the center? Never that’s why no one can stop Denver when they are rolling.
Jokic’s defensive statistics are incredible. He doesn’t lead the league in block shots however check out his steals, deflections rebounds outlet passes, kick balls and tactical positioning with a pair of the quickest hands ,low turnovers, and the quickest mind and he’s a pretty damn good defender. Anyone that can’t see that is just not looking.
If an NBA team/organization came out and announced that they purposely tanked a game, the entire sports media will crucify them and want all sorts of fines levied. But since it’s LeBron, they are openly advocating for them to purposely lose. You really can’t make this shit up
Facts! On one hand they’ll advocate for the lakers to try and get the more favorable matchup (easy)then on the other hand they’ll say how lebron is such an ultimate competitor lol. It’s so pathetic at this point
i swear to god it’s like Lebron fans are under mine control. like in a cult am i the only one who is totally shocked at the things lebron says and gets away with? he’s ruined the INTEGRITY of the game
Dude sits around talking ball with JJ Reddick talking about regular high school ball shit like slip screens and the comments are just fawning over it. Just goes to show his fans unironically do not know ball, have never played it, are likely kids, are easily influenced, and very likely don't even WATCH full games. His whole apparatus has fucked up the league
The media would call it the right move if the Lakers ducked Denver. And then in the same segment they would try to tell us LeFraud is the goat and made the right move
You are correct. MJ would come straight at him every day not saying he would beat him but he would never duck him and never ever make an excuse waaa I need more help!!!!!!! He would just train harder.
Jokic is not bland. I love watching that cat play. He's awesome, plays the game the right way, and makes his team better while he's on the floor every night.
And never ever has enough help. Greatest force in the league playing with more all stars than any player in history and the guy just can’t seem to find the support he needs to realize his greatness 😂
Once you realize that Jokic always makes the right decision you can't unsee that. But it's something the casual observer can easily miss. The commentators should know better of course, but they hate Jokic for being the complete refutation of star-studded iso-glory.

Ask the Networks covering the NBA . LeFlop is like the Cowboys. Many watch hoping he'll win. Many more will watch to see him lose. Tv people don't care why you watch. As long as you see their commercials.
As someone who grew up a big NBA fan but became less and less interested in it as I got older; all I can say is Jokic is a breath of fresh air. I only really follow Houston and SA. I don’t watch the NBA hardly at all except for the Rockets and whatever game Jokic is playing.
I have started watching NBA again because of Mike Mason and the Denver Nuggets.....ironically, the Denver effect is making its way into the fabric of the league (albeit slowly) but teams like the Knicks are adjusting and adapting that "team first' style and winning with it.
@@mja4wp I have liked what the Knicks have done also. I know the Rockets are not very good yet but that’s the style Udoka has brought in. They are going to be team first and play defense. Looking at the players that have been drafted or signed in free agency you can really see they are doing a lot good things. Drafting Amen Thompson who will be a DPOY candidate for a very long time, Jabari Smith has also been very valuable defensively. Tari Eason may even be more important and his value was shown once he went down injured and the rockets struggled without him. Also the veteran enforcer presence of Dillon Brooks and bringing in a point guard in Van Vleet who knows what it takes to win.
Mavs fan here, I get voting for Jokic over Luka. The SGA over Luka, that I just do not get. Although it was two of the biggest race grifters so it totally makes sense
jokic this season: 2nd assists, 3rd rebounds, 5th points, 8th steals. first player EVER to be top 10 in these four categories. and he is not the mvp. HOW?
Shannon is a clown for lebron, and he should never be asked about the Lakers. The Lakers don't want to play the Nuggets because unlike the Pelicans they want to beat, annihilate and punish the Lakers and show they are the better team which REAL competitors live for.

NBA lets Perk and STephen A vote on the MVP. All that talk about fighting racism and they are nothing but Hypocrites. But this isn't anything new. Pretty much the whole System reflects this Hateful Hypocrisy.
You basically made every point I would have made. Well done. It's mind blowing that Perkins picked SGA this year...after last year's debacle you'd think he would have learned his lesson.
Some people shouldn t vote, Perkins for sure, we already saw what he did last year... The NBA should do something about this. Everyone sees that Jokic is the best player and the most valuable too. Probably the best steal of the draft ever. 10 years later and he still exposes every other team!!
I do not understand how you can vote for any besides Jokic man has been consistent throughout the season plus HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD and it’s not even close. Should be his 4th straight MVP in all honesty… you think they are voting off race ? ( I’m a black man) I’m just curious
@@SageHeru I love Luka I do but, it’s time for him to show me something in the playoffs. He still has been to a conference finals. Still a top 5 player in my opinion easily
Yea. Back when I played basketball, when I’d start cooking a black dude they’d clown the dude like I’m deficient or something. Many dudes see playing fundamental and non athletic as playing white and I feel many times they lack respect for it. It’s like when they say a black quarterback can’t make the mental decisions a white qb can but it’s just it’s not impressive cause he isn’t crossing someone up or dunking on them
@@tylerd132 I respect that take my friend. I think playing with fundamentals is smart and can last over time vs being a highlight reel. Jokic is a great of example of this and so was Tim Duncan as well.
That is the bottomline: these pundits don't watch the games. They'll watch the Lakers, maybe Boston or the Knicks, but they don't watch anything else... they just read the box scores and know little about the games.
It's almost criminal that Luka didn't win MVP, but it most definitely is criminal that he got one single vote. You have to go back a full decade to find season average numbers better than what Luka put up this season.
What's really up for debate is the "why" behind a person's opinion. When you ask somebody why they're voting somebody over Jokic and they give a weak emotional argument that has nothing to do with "most value", that's where the debate really starts.
@jordanjenkins1671 value believe it or not Is somwwhat subjective. If we measuring value them defense counts. Joker status as an average at best defender should hurt his mvp case. SGA is a very good defender in addition to his scoring and relatively younger team that got 1st seed in the west. The last week for me might have hurt his case because he slipped a bit but his team is less talented and younger too. They so far haven't done a co mvp as of yet and as little as 3 weeks ago would have given SGA mvp but his last week or so he dropped a little bit. Then again if defender mattered more Joker, magic, Bird, Curry, Nash etc would have less mvp. The league is in good shape going forward. A guy like wemby will be in mvp talks in 2-3 years on defense alone . 25-12 and 4 blocks will have him In the convo once that team gets better. He likely will have Hakeem or David Robinson type of mvp seasons .
I agree cause just a week ago, all these so-called TV sports show analysts were saying no one should want to play the Lakers. So if the Lakers are such a threat, why will the Laker be ducking any opponent. I mean, every opponent they play will be playing them at a disadvantage cause most of everyone knows the officiating will make sure the Lakers shoot at least 15 -20 free throws more than their opponents. So yea, their opponents will be competing against two opponents, the Lakers and the officiating.
Today's analysts on ESPN and Fox can't be taken seriously about who should be the MVP. Despite Joker's overall performance this season, Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A. Smith poorly analyze who should be the MVP.
It's so easy to be a Jokic fan. He is gonna deliver every single time. He is not gonna fade in important moments. He's like Verstappen or Messi of NBA.
"Jokic's game is bland, & he doesn't impose his will onto the opponent." Something tells me that some of the talking heads at the Every Story Politicized Network are put out because Jokic doesn't have enough melanin to suit them.
Honestly this is so rich seeing the biggest clowns are the only ones who aren’t voting for Jokic. All you Luka stans please realize the company you’re in
"His game is bland, but effective" You mean like Kareem's skyhook? Who knew we should have been ignoring the most effective dominant playing of the greatest players ever because it was merely "bland" and constant.
The MVP needs to be taken away from these media members. Many of em don't watch any games and don't know a damn thing about basketball. A narrative gets crafted by someone at ESPN in January and most of these media members ride with the narrative. The narrative crafting happens in January of every single season.
Keyshawn should ask Bron, Durant, and Jimmy Butler if Jokic imposes his will on games. Playoffs is all about setting up in your spots and forcing your opponent off of theirs and Denver dominated in that aspect of the game in the playoffs last year because of Jokic.
They hate because Jokic plays the game the right way

2 people that should not even have a vote. Reason I never turn ESPN on.
Keyshon comments are nullified by the fact that he was a slow boring possession receiver
Jokic and Luka made NBA watchable again.
too bad this combo will never happen: Pop coaching Joker, no arena would be big enough to contain their combined basketball IQ.
Jokic is a beast. If anyone would not pick him to be on their team as the first pick, then they don't know basketball.
I wonder why they fear Luka and 🃏 and Bird so much. It's not like they have anything in common
How does Perkins even get a vote? Who tf is he even ?
Not only did lebalco ruin the NBA he also ruined ESPN. I don’t know who has less brain cells between lebaby Perkins and sharpe
It’s a shame to see JJ reddick become more of a lebron shill everyday
@@landonforan8879 I never respected him, now I know my instincts were right. His actions towards LeBron are really showing what kind of man he is and it ain’t much of one. Simpin for a guy that can barely read, pathetic
Averages damn near a triple double and he doesn't "impose his will"???
RUFKM????
I have watched the NBA for 50 years and I have never seen a point center until Joker , to call him bland is crazy
NBA lets Perk and STephen A vote on the MVP. All that talk about fighting racism and they are nothing but Hypocrites.
But this isn't anything new. Pretty much the whole System reflects this Hateful Hypocrisy.
When it comes to Uncut Hoops videos, they always start with “when it comes to” lol. Jk good content keep it up
You basically made every point I would have made. Well done. It's mind blowing that Perkins picked SGA this year...after last year's debacle you'd think he would have learned his lesson.
Some people shouldn t vote, Perkins for sure, we already saw what he did last year... The NBA should do something about this. Everyone sees that Jokic is the best player and the most valuable too. Probably the best steal of the draft ever. 10 years later and he still exposes every other team!!
I do not understand how you can vote for any besides Jokic man has been consistent throughout the season plus HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD and it’s not even close. Should be his 4th straight MVP in all honesty… you think they are voting off race ? ( I’m a black man) I’m just curious
What about Luka with his bum team?
@@SageHeru I love Luka I do but, it’s time for him to show me something in the playoffs. He still has been to a conference finals. Still a top 5 player in my opinion easily
Yea. Back when I played basketball, when I’d start cooking a black dude they’d clown the dude like I’m deficient or something. Many dudes see playing fundamental and non athletic as playing white and I feel many times they lack respect for it. It’s like when they say a black quarterback can’t make the mental decisions a white qb can but it’s just it’s not impressive cause he isn’t crossing someone up or dunking on them
@@tylerd132 I respect that take my friend. I think playing with fundamentals is smart and can last over time vs being a highlight reel. Jokic is a great of example of this and so was Tim Duncan as well.
@@papimarv4422 I agree that he needs to step it up in the playoffs but I can't hold that against him for a season award.
Kendrick Perkins and SAS 😂
That is the bottomline: these pundits don't watch the games. They'll watch the Lakers, maybe Boston or the Knicks, but they don't watch anything else... they just read the box scores and know little about the games.
Congrats on 100K subs! Completely deserved, best of luck!
It's almost criminal that Luka didn't win MVP, but it most definitely is criminal that he got one single vote. You have to go back a full decade to find season average numbers better than what Luka put up this season.
I have no issue with anyone voting for SGA. Joker is the mvp but it shouldn't be unanimous
What's really up for debate is the "why" behind a person's opinion. When you ask somebody why they're voting somebody over Jokic and they give a weak emotional argument that has nothing to do with "most value", that's where the debate really starts.
@jordanjenkins1671 value believe it or not Is somwwhat subjective. If we measuring value them defense counts. Joker status as an average at best defender should hurt his mvp case. SGA is a very good defender in addition to his scoring and relatively younger team that got 1st seed in the west. The last week for me might have hurt his case because he slipped a bit but his team is less talented and younger too. They so far haven't done a co mvp as of yet and as little as 3 weeks ago would have given SGA mvp but his last week or so he dropped a little bit. Then again if defender mattered more Joker, magic, Bird, Curry, Nash etc would have less mvp. The league is in good shape going forward. A guy like wemby will be in mvp talks in 2-3 years on defense alone . 25-12 and 4 blocks will have him In the convo once that team gets better. He likely will have Hakeem or David Robinson type of mvp seasons .
I agree cause just a week ago, all these so-called TV sports show analysts were saying no one should want to play the Lakers. So if the Lakers are such a threat, why will the Laker be ducking any opponent. I mean, every opponent they play will be playing them at a disadvantage cause most of everyone knows the officiating will make sure the Lakers shoot at least 15 -20 free throws more than their opponents. So yea, their opponents will be competing against two opponents, the Lakers and the officiating.
They don’t like seeing Euros coming in and destroying the country club league players like Lebron, Durant and James Harden created.
Today's analysts on ESPN and Fox can't be taken seriously about who should be the MVP. Despite Joker's overall performance this season, Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A. Smith poorly analyze who should be the MVP.
Hey ChatGPT, can you do my homework?
Spot on! One note though: Bucher did say on Colin Cowherd's show that this year Jokic gets his #1 vote for MVP. So at least he has come around.
It's so easy to be a Jokic fan. He is gonna deliver every single time. He is not gonna fade in important moments. He's like Verstappen or Messi of NBA.
Like Kobe once said: "Excuse me? I ain't ducking shit!"
That's the mentality you should have.
ESPN bet wrong. You can’t control Jokic. He is better than the 10-20 points a night somehow swung to the “marketable” stars
They fear the Joker 🃏, they want to tank!!!😂
"Jokic's game is bland, & he doesn't impose his will onto the opponent."
Something tells me that some of the talking heads at the Every Story Politicized Network are put out because Jokic doesn't have enough melanin to suit them.
Why is everyone so afraid of calling out racism when it is so apparent. It is call racism.
They'd rather give MVP to nobody than to the Joker...
Honestly this is so rich seeing the biggest clowns are the only ones who aren’t voting for Jokic. All you Luka stans please realize the company you’re in
You must mean SGA stans cause thats who the clowns are voting for.
Jokic is absolutely not bland, he brought me back to back to back to basketball, I find him fascinating to watch
No real competitor would attempt to lose. Period.
"His game is bland, but effective" You mean like Kareem's skyhook? Who knew we should have been ignoring the most effective dominant playing of the greatest players ever because it was merely "bland" and constant.
Yeah, I remember that one year Jordan was like, "Yo, we gotta tank a game or two so we don't face the Pistons!" Oh wait, NEVER HAPPENED!!!
0:53 That pass has 2 angles recorded and it’s the pass of the year - in an arena with hundreds of cameras!!
The MVP needs to be taken away from these media members. Many of em don't watch any games and don't know a damn thing about basketball. A narrative gets crafted by someone at ESPN in January and most of these media members ride with the narrative. The narrative crafting happens in January of every single season.
it's crazy how none of these people actually watch basketball but are paid millions of dollars to speak on it
He is from the wrong country and looks wrong for them. Sad.
Congrats on the 100k, well deserved!
Keyshawn should ask Bron, Durant, and Jimmy Butler if Jokic imposes his will on games. Playoffs is all about setting up in your spots and forcing your opponent off of theirs and Denver dominated in that aspect of the game in the playoffs last year because of Jokic.
