      He’s as consistent as a horse. He will get you a minimum of 25/10/5 every single game no matter what.

      Don't want to be all "well akshually" on you but just to be clear, cause the Sombor shuffle is a really fucking weird and cool move, it's when he jumps off the wrong foot, i.e. the right foot. Those two shots over AD weren't that but they're still really cold af for sure.

    • @truthhurts837
      @truthhurts837 Рік тому +1

      True, they were all ice cold, step back fallaways. But not Sombor Shuffles. One was off the left foot like Dirk, the other two were off two feet. The Shuffle is when he does a Dirk but off the other foot.

    I’ve been a basketball fan since 1965. Never seen anyone with all of his offensive skills. Best touch around the basket along with everything else. And my favorite thing of all is the way he doesn’t show off after making yet another spectacular play. The arena erupts and he just runs down to the other end and plays defense. I’m embarrassed for all of the chest-thumping, yelling, look-at-me egotists I’m forced to see when watching the great game of basketball. This man plays the game straight up and he’s a team player.

    Jokic is the reason why I started watching the NBA again. Just because he's putting up numbers I've/we've never seen before. It's not even close. He's by far the best player in the NBA right now and I thought that even before this playoff run. It's shocking that this hasn't been the general census. And those analyst clowns who judge play based almost entirely on rings are just that clowns. Up until this point... it wasn't even possible for Jokic to compete for the championship, because the team was building and last year key guys on the Nuggets were injured. This was the first year that Jokic had a chance to win a ring... and even if the Nuggets came up short in the playoffs.. he would still be the best in the league. It's not even close. Giannis is another excellent player, but Jokic is another degree better, because of his highly versatile game, where he doesn't have any notable holes or bad games for that matter. Defense is probably the weaker part of his game, but that's because everything else is on another level... but it's certainly not a hole in his game or a liability.

    Pure confidence in himself and his team mates. Has a clear picture of the court and absolutely knows what to do. Extremely precise. I hope he continues to play at this level for a while. Definitely not the greatest but he is top ten all time for now with room for advancement for sure.

    Reminiscent of Shaq and Kobe. Impeccable two-man game. If Murray stays healthy, this can be a dynasty. It has even higher hopes to be great that their stars have no ego. It ain't how you act when you're trying to be great. It's how you act when you know you're great and still have the where with all to recognize you can't do it alone. One of the best runs in NBA history. As a laker fan, knowing we've beaten them 3 times in the WCF before comforted me. But it was easy to see that no team was even close to their level. Much deserved, best of luck to this team that has the potential to destroy history

      Jokic’s 2023 playoff run has been more statistically dominant than any Shaq playoff run. He’s scoring and rebounding just as much with higher efficiency and 6 more assist per game, while also leading comfortably in advanced stats.

      @@stephenwu1524 Jokic just put up the most dominant playoff run by a center in history of NBA.
      His performance was more dominant than Shaq's, especially as Jokic shot 47% from 3PT and 80% from free throw, while averaging 30 - 13.5 - 9.5 on 57% - 47% - 80% splits and PER of 32.1
      The second highest PER in playoffs was Booker at 28.6.

      Shaq is more dominant at scoring and defense but not all around in jokic. In terms of today’s game, you need to be good all around to take a team to a championship. You need one of those guys, so yes, I believe jokic is more dominant.

    I was rooting for Denver due to Jokic. It is funny to me that people question if someone saw that he had this in him when he was drafted. I was watching him being great for 3 years straight and I was still surprised by how good he was during this playoff run. This was OTHERWORLDLY. I am truly proud of him
