He’s the greatest floor raiser in NBA history. Nobody is able to raise the floor of a team as much as Jokic. He’s as consistent as a horse. He will get you a minimum of 25/10/5 every single game no matter what. Goat shit
AD's look when the buzzer beater in his face went in says it all: all that can be done in the face of such absurd greatness is smile and shake your head in awe and utter disbelief
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.
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.
Those were impressive, but just like Jokic, those guys were always called 'boring' by the media and still they are some of the most successful players of all time.
Indeed, and in LBJ case it is total opposite thing, guy chokes in clutch but is goated by nike and NBA to be next MJ aka cash cow for the league, fixing himself to be in best teams yet failed 60% of finals.
If he continues on this legendary trajectory, Jokic will finish Top 10 all time, if not Top 5. A 7 foot center who passes like Magic, shoots like Bird, and has the postgame of Hakeem.
Jokic’s peak is pretty much as good as anyone in NBA history, he’s Jordan and Lebron level. If he continues his dominance for 5-7 more years and wins 2-3 more rings, there is zero question. Jokic will be top 5
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. Thanks for posting a great highlight video.
I was born 1993, I basically said everything you did. You witnessed much more than I, and it makes me happy and proud to read the same thoughts from someone much older than me. Respect and greetings from Serbia!
I’m a warriors fan and only started watching nuggets to see Lakers get shit on in the conference finals but I quickly became a Jokic and Murray fan. Everytime Jokic has the ball you just know that something special is about to happen
Not only did he make Adumb his son, he also exposed LeBum as the greatest CHOKE artist of all time. It was hilarious to watch GOATkic just having fun while toying with the overrated, clown-infested rubbish fakers team.
@@samantharay6098 you do realize youre talking about a #1 draft pick in AD? # 1 in Ayton as well..both who got dominated by a guy who was drafted during a taco bell commercial
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.
It's funny how most people try to compare Jokic to some legendary player of the past, yet everyone comes up with a different player. Duncan, Bird, Feet work like Olajawon, shooting like Dirk, etc, etc, but once you become as good as jokic has become... he plays like Jokic... there's no one like him.
It's certainly possible. We need to see more, but... After this season he looks like a top 3 all time player in terms of performance, whether you put that 1, 2 or 3.
it's like god distilled Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon (offensively) and KevinMcHale down into the same player. Amazing. I see Larry most though... off the charts hand-eye coordination and court vision/basketball IQ combined with low athleticism (but great conditioning and a relentless motor). Unicorn, yes, but I also think about that time Magic told Larry, "Larry, you told us a lie. You said there would be another Larry Bird. And there will never, ever, ever be another Larry Bird." Guess Larry was right - kind of.
I love how calm, collected and respectfull he is after some incredible plays. I think he overgrown nickname the joker and deserve something different. Like the master or sensei.
I got to admit, im a suns fan, rooted for lakers and rooted for miami. All these jokic plays are heartbreaking. All those sombor shuffles are daggers and those assists are head scratchers (like how did he found them?!). All amazing.
So you are a loser who doesn't like good basketball? Suns, Lakers, and Heat played garbage ball compared to Denver, stop cheering for laundry, and appreciate ball, Suns are trash, ain't going nowhere, traded it all for KD when jok out here doin it as a 41st pick, hope you enjoy rooting for losers, Suns not winning in the Booker era period
That play starting at 5:42 vs. the Twolves is so cold. 🥶 He had 2 of their best players jumping into each other for the pump fake, beautifully lays it in, and just smiles after. 😂 not to mention in the clutch too
It feels great! Honestly! Nuggets deserved it with their hard work! I am super happy for AAron(it feels right that Gordon got NBA ring after he got screwed on 2 dunk competitions), Mr. Green, Murray and Jokic (love him)! Great job!
Infinite admiration to this guy! Not only efficient and a difference maker, but also basketball with high level of beauty and intelligence. I have never seen the same!
After curry, jokic is my favorite player, it's impressive to watch him play, it seems to me that he always knows what's going to happen and that he already has a plan in his head
Granted he probably needs a few more championships to be considered one of the greatest centers of all time, I certainly think he’s on his way there, Go big Jok!
@@phil5280 yea but he cried about it a lot. " I dont know what else I should do to get it" other guys have won a couple of them and won nothing, why the pressure should be on me bla bla and he gets it... couple months later Joker is champion and fmvp
The whole momentum shifted in that play & reaction of the whole team! They got their 1st lead of the game & were deadly after that! Even the refs couldn't stop them!
He's the best player I've ever seen and I've been watching since the 80s. It will take time but he will eventually be recognized as the greatest to ever play.
This man hand's touch everytime he shoots and manipulate the ball is so smooth and delicate and so much mastered that it reminds me of a Roger Federer and Zidane of his own.
Live in the UK, played high school east prep school hoops in the USA, have been obsessed with the NBA since 1984... This gentleman is truly plays one of the most beautiful and elegant versions of this amazing sport that I have ever seen and I absolutely LOVE THIS GAME ❤ps I haven't seen this many uncalled fouls since MJ and Shaq it's a joke [pun intended]
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.
His "Sombor Shuffle" 3-pointer at 0:52 was incredible and what made it even more special was the reaction of awe from the Lakers crowd. They've seen some pretty special things in that arena over the years and that shot is up there with them.
I actually only watched the NBA because of Dennis Schröder. Because I'm from Germany. But after the Lakers played Denver, I wanted to see more of Jokic
Impossible to guard. Jokic never really has a bad game. The most consistent superstar in the league right now.
You just described the qualities of a GOAT.
He’s the greatest floor raiser in NBA history.
Nobody is able to raise the floor of a team as much as Jokic.
He’s as consistent as a horse. He will get you a minimum of 25/10/5 every single game no matter what.
Goat shit
@@steviechampagneidk man, the nuggets legit had zero holes
@@babyforestwhitaker71143pt % , and Porter
💯 percent he is the goat in NBA history nicola jokic
Jokic's 2 threes over AD are the coldest I've ever seen. 2 legendary Sombor Shuffles
Iconic shot
AD's look when the buzzer beater in his face went in says it all: all that can be done in the face of such absurd greatness is smile and shake your head in awe and utter disbelief
He does over bron as well, and he never missed that shot, he did it over and over and still got people saying it was a lucky shot. SMH!
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.

This is my favorite playoff run since 2003 Duncan and 2011 Dirk.
Those were impressive, but just like Jokic, those guys were always called 'boring' by the media and still they are some of the most successful players of all time.
@@TheRatedOniChannel A lot of people have shitty taste 🤷
2011 Dirk was legendary. 40 plus Ft straight
Why because the best team won?
no one can ever top 2011 Dirks
This highlights reel is probably better then most of the guys career highlights. just impressive, historic and legendary
If you can produce such a playoff highlight reel from a while career, you are already a great player.
🃏👑🏆
I always was a hard Michael Jordan fan, but if you see this genius...I´m speechless...
he makes this game so eazy
Half an hour of breath-taking plays, and it only took him twenty games to do it.
I've never seen a player like him. Like seriously. Dude is like a Point Center. All around beast.
JOKIC led playoffs in points, assists, AND rebounds. The GOAT.
Haters will say otherwise but facts are facts.
Jokic the best to ever do it, the 3x MVP and more to come, the undisputed GOAT.
Please stop. One playoffs run doesn’t make someone a goat.
@@firstnamelastname1566 please stop. Y’all jump on any white guy so fast.
Nah

Even tho I love Jokic`s game... Yall throw The Greatest Of All Time at anything.
This guy is one of the best basketball players I have ever seen
I don’t think people realize how good this team was in clutch situations. Hidden narrative no one is talking about 😮
Indeed, and in LBJ case it is total opposite thing, guy chokes in clutch but is goated by nike and NBA to be next MJ aka cash cow for the league, fixing himself to be in best teams yet failed 60% of finals.

No thank you for the comment old timer! Can’t imagine many can say they watched ball before you did. Pretty awesome
I was born 1993, I basically said everything you did. You witnessed much more than I, and it makes me happy and proud to read the same thoughts from someone much older than me. Respect and greetings from Serbia!
God what assists.😮
What a technique of handling the ball in attack.
Everything seems so easy.. 🎉🏀
I’m a warriors fan and only started watching nuggets to see Lakers get shit on in the conference finals but I quickly became a Jokic and Murray fan. Everytime Jokic has the ball you just know that something special is about to happen
Best series was against Lakers, he made Davis look like a rookie, he got COMPLETELY OWNED! 💪
i think that's unfair to AD. AD looked like a too-small allstar 4.5 against an era-defining potential GOAT center. it's not his fault lol
Not only did he make Adumb his son, he also exposed LeBum as the greatest CHOKE artist of all time.
It was hilarious to watch GOATkic just having fun while toying with the overrated, clown-infested rubbish fakers team.
He also probably destroyed Ayton's career lol.

@@BadTV1993 Still, it is unfair take. No one could imagine he would become this good.
25:57 That was just filthy. Hop step into a reverse spin. Jokic is a magician, man. Incredible footwork to pull that off.
Having that good footwork at 7 feet tall is wild
No other like him. Unique.
Complete domination of the playoffs, from start to finish. This highlight reel is ridiculous 🔥🥵
I don't even watch basketball, how have I found myself watching a 30 minute video on this guy? It's mesmerizing!
The quickness & athleticism they play with is crazyyyyy. I never seen passes like this. Like one big brain they have.

It’s crazy watching a center shoot a 3 and feel like it’s going to go in! Jokic the real MVP!!
What a great play-off run by Jokic. It seemed like he broke a record every game. And I loved seeing Mr. 50 getting the ball in the paint.
GOAT Nikola 🔥🔥🔥
FAX!
GOATkic the best to ever do it, no one comes close ever.
Lol at the people who said Jokic game is boring. He just produced a half-hour spectacular highlights mixtape IN A SINGLE PLAYOFF RUN!
25:57 That hesitation and spin move, and the crowd's reaction, gives me chills. So good!
Ill never get tired of watching jokic
He has some sky hooks like Kareem and foot work like Hakeem
And jump shot like dirk
He did it effortlessly 😂
He's just Nikola
And passes like Steve Nash
It's funny how most people try to compare Jokic to some legendary player of the past, yet everyone comes up with a different player. Duncan, Bird, Feet work like Olajawon, shooting like Dirk, etc, etc, but once you become as good as jokic has become... he plays like Jokic... there's no one like him.
true gem teamplayer...constantly assists teammates and scores beautifully
Jokic beat the media
Watching an entire game he is very reliable and consistent. Great player.
people don't realize how dominant this playoff run was. just look at the teams the nuggets eliminated. and with such an ease.
They beat 85 all star appearances combined between the players/teams they beat. Most in NBA history.
The goat
It's certainly possible. We need to see more, but... After this season he looks like a top 3 all time player in terms of performance, whether you put that 1, 2 or 3.
best Center for sure.

Jody Master🙏
Jokic - A perfect blend of old school and new school. I appreciate his game so much because you can tell he loves the game.
Dude is just straight up built different, impossible to defend and impossible to replicate
It’s crazy these Joker playoff moments are basically just Nuggets highlights lol .. they’re a well oiled machine, this run was insane 🏆
They aren't done
Such a good point, specially Aaron Gordon who's benefited the most IMHO
Joki knows all. Even a very natural understanding of a basketball and the balls control.
Natural killer
I got to admit, im a suns fan, rooted for lakers and rooted for miami. All these jokic plays are heartbreaking. All those sombor shuffles are daggers and those assists are head scratchers (like how did he found them?!). All amazing.

That play starting at 5:42 vs. the Twolves is so cold. 🥶 He had 2 of their best players jumping into each other for the pump fake, beautifully lays it in, and just smiles after. 😂 not to mention in the clutch too
What impressed me the most this run was his handle. He didn't push that hard in transition in the regular season, his handle is secure af.
That eye contact with AD like "-c'mon man you can't score that
-yeah I know, sorry 🤷♂️"

What a journey made by Denver!
Every players was extremely important to the team. LET'S GO NUGGETS!
This is the greatest playoff run in history. Jokic led the playoffs in points, rebounds and assists. That has NEVER been done in NBA history.
Hakeem called this dude "the one" for good reason
He’s on another level
Most skilled big man of all time
His passes are mesmerizing.
He scored some big baskets at crunch time. he killed comebacks. He hit really important shots down the stretch of multiple games.
That is absolutely briliant. I mean I watched 1 min of Jokic, with 1 min of unskippable ads.
Congratulations big boy I told all my friends you would win!
