While I agree to a certain extent you'd need to put curry in the conversation as well. Man is gone for 1 year and the media thinks he washed up and his entire legacy is in question
@@savabozanic6037 no I agree that Nikola won the mvp fair and square. As much as I love curry his team didn't Make the playoffs so I already knew he wasn't getting it
Reasons the NBA arrogant clowns dislike The Joker are numerous: 1- not American 2- not African American 3- Serbian 4- doesn't give a *hit about selling stupid overpriced plastic shoes made in China 5- soooo good he makes them look bad 6- humble 7- intelligent 8- sense of humor The whole world is watching and beginning to smell the BS. The more they ignore him the sweeter and more amazing his legendary career will be. True sports phenomenon.History will be veeeeery kind to The Joker.
One thing the video misses: unlike Harden and Westbrook, Jokic drops triple-doubles with relatively MUCH LOWER usage rates. And he's wildly, wildly efficient, with some of the highest PER in the league. He's a superstar who doesn't need the ball for most of the game. I don't think that's very normal. I also think it's amazing.
A small market, unmarketable foreign player that so happens to be one of the best players in the world is like ESPNs worst nightmare lol, I love Jokic and hope he continues to destroy the league for years
One of the most efficient player i've ever seen. Doesn't matter if he becomes mvp or not. He'll be part of history considering his stats and ridiculous consistancy
He’s setting a new standard for the traditional big. Traditional bigs have been getting phased out for some time, but Jokic’s impact on winning may be building a new archetype for what future centers will be.
put my money on what you said... its similar to ZBO.. He wasnt super athletic but let me tell you once that man went to work very few players where able to stop MR. Randolph...
@Willie Gordon I'd say he is already, in the last 3 years they've been a 2 seed and back to back 3 seed. Melo was great but not as complete, and Fat Lever was only part of what Jokic does
In 20 years, Jokic will be recognized as someone who has transformed the way players play in the center/power forward position, something similar to what Steph Curry did with a three-point shot. First of all, I mean the higher participation of "Big's" in the organization of the game and more assists on average. Examples are: Bam Adebayo (increased from 2.2 to 5.4 assists) Domantas Sabonis (increase from 2.9 to 6.7 assists) Julius Randle (increased from 3.1 to 6 assists)
Well we all have seen the passes (including the one handed pass to start an attack), 3 point scoring and the IQ, and the name of the center was Arvydas Sabonis. Of course he tells his own son to work more on footwork and pass more. NB I dont deny that Nikola is exceptional. All the respect to Denver scouts, analysts and decision makers.
@@unikaluspaveldas5644 Players are limited by what their coaches allow them to do. Nikola's example will lead to more big players being allowed to play that way.
2:20 Going ham in Serbia is no joke. Serbia, Greece, and Croatia are slept on often despite their history of ballers in any sport; Tennis, NBA, they got crazy good Athletes in southern Europe.
@@dylandoesbasketball What do you think it would be like if Nikola Jokic got traded to the Dallas Mavericks and Kristap Porzingiz got traded to the Denver Nuggets 🤔
never going to happen their franchise players maybe at the end of jokic Career but that a big if .those calibre of players usaully retire with the teams that drafted them
That is America for you. Man in Europe every comentator you watch, even italians who are notorious for no knowing languages, will mostly pronounce everyone correctly. That is just lack of preparation and arogance.
I said a couple years ago he was the best big man people laughed I’m sayin today he is the best in the nba people laugh but I’ve watched Jok for years he dominates his competition
What can I say, serbian school. Though I was crying when we lost in 2016 in finals Serbia vs USA, back then we had so much good players, but you guys have them now.
Put any 4 decent players on the court with jokic and you not only make the playoffs but win a series. Look at the blazers. Facu, rivers, mpj, and Gordon were his starting lineup and mpj played pretty bad because he had a back tweak.
I think even with his career thus far, he's got to be the greatest draft steal of all time. Sure you've got Kobe who got picked 13th and Steve Nash at 15th but 40th?
every time i see Niko play it's like i'm seeing a tall man playing among children that can jump good the way he is so fast. i've only seen Zydrunas Illgauskas do similar things but he never had the same speed.
At the time of this post (all-star break 21-22), the Nuggets are 33-25 (sixth seed), despite being without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter for essentially the whole season. It's 90% Joker, who's averaging 26 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists. Basketball-Ref attributes 10.6 wins to him (the next closest is Ante with 9.8), and he has a VORP (value over replacement player) of 7.0 - the next closest is, again, Ante with 5.4; that's right, Jokic is 30% ahead of Ante. Once you get past the top 6 (rounded out by Embiid, LBJ, Curry and Doncic - no small names there), his VORP is at least double anyone else. I absolutely love Ante and the way he plays - but make no mistake, Jokic is almost surely the best player in the league. The main thing that might stop him from winning MVP this year is the fact the Nuggets are barely above the 50% line. Edit: ha, just got to the bit where he got 16 triples last season. He's up to 15 so far this season... with 24 games to go.
I think how strong the nuggets have stayed with the absence of Jamal is truly remarkable. Jokic has turned an 5’10, 29 year old Argentinian rookie and washed up Austin rivers into starting caliber guards. Also, people trying to discredit the nuggets bubble performance last year has become a flopped narrative now that they’re the only team who made it to their conference finals still in the play offs this year lol
He really does not care. At the end of the day, numbers speak for itself, and his stats and numbers by the end of his career will be in top 5 all time. I mean rebounds, assists, pts, few rings. Joker is for sure MVP, and I like that he can care less about stupid NBA journalists.
Here's what I'm seeing with Jokic and Doncic. Jokic breaks into the NBA and people questioned whether he really deserved to be there, he more than proved that he did, now people are starting to realise he not only deserves to be there but that he's excelling. Doncic blows into the scene after Jokic paved the way and he kind of overshadowed Jokic, and not that he wasn't playing good, either, but now people are starting to watch Jokic, too. People want to trash these guys because their play is slower and they can't jump, yet they can't stop them either. They're showing gaps in the armor of other players and they're not taking kindly to it.
This just proved that the NBA has one of the worst fanbases in professional sports. It's got some pretty chill and sensible ones, but it is overrun with casuals and clout-chasers. The smaller markets also get little to no respect. As a Pelicans fan, I am tired of seeing the monthly article saying Zion should leave when we are clearly in a rebuild and making strides. The media in general is the absolute worst when it comes to this sport.

Dude you are just mad xD cuz Curry is not MVP its sad.

Giannis is by far the most disrespected player in the league by both media and players ( and many fans )
This aged beautifully
Reasons the NBA arrogant clowns dislike The Joker are numerous:
1- not American
2- not African American
3- Serbian
4- doesn't give a *hit about selling stupid overpriced plastic shoes made in China
5- soooo good he makes them look bad
6- humble
7- intelligent

True
So true 👍
they love luka what are you talking about, nikola is just not as in your face great unless you pay attention to him
As far as I understand American fans love Jokic. Media does not.
One thing the video misses: unlike Harden and Westbrook, Jokic drops triple-doubles with relatively MUCH LOWER usage rates. And he's wildly, wildly efficient, with some of the highest PER in the league.
He's a superstar who doesn't need the ball for most of the game. I don't think that's very normal. I also think it's amazing.
I think he's number one at PER right now.
And also he doesn’t stat pad
actually highest PIR in NBA history..

He’s setting a new standard for the traditional big. Traditional bigs have been getting phased out for some time, but Jokic’s impact on winning may be building a new archetype for what future centers will be.
well, he is back-to-back MVP)))
He’s kind of got the Tim Duncan effect. Not flashy or athletic. Doesn’t make him popular to the casual fan.
His passing is pretty flashy imo.
put my money on what you said... its similar to ZBO.. He wasnt super athletic but let me tell you once that man went to work very few players where able to stop MR. Randolph...
They hated on him too, even 5 titles later.
Not flashy? No nuance lol

Tako je brate nas srpski. Everything u say is True, i remmember these matches.
His brain is genius...and video is rockin Dogg
Damn , dude got drafted during a Taco Bell commercial now that's just disrespectful
For me one of Jokić's most memorable play will be the double behind the back dribble for a layup. That's some basketball God type stuff.
never going to happen their franchise players maybe at the end of jokic Career but that a big if .those calibre of players usaully retire with the teams that drafted them
Joker MVP!
Man that "come on bro im sleepin" part is killed me 😂 i can't even imagine that scenario 😂
Got here after he was announced mvp thank god he deserves and it you earned a new sub with this content
now here's a real nba fan.
I honestly already forgot how many crazy performances he already had in the playoff and how he always performs in close games.
This Nuggets team reminds me of the Spurs of old. Just quietly winning games on efficiency and fundamentals
The fact that 90% of “analyst” couldn’t pronounce his name correctly til after he was an all star is just sad
That is America for you. Man in Europe every comentator you watch, even italians who are notorious for no knowing languages, will mostly pronounce everyone correctly. That is just lack of preparation and arogance.
Well done!
I love seeing praise for jokic. Good research great video.
"Most casual fans..." shows the most casual fan. lol 1:10
AND NOW HES IN THE FINALS!! AND GOT DOUBTED THE WHOLE WAY THERE
Even as two time MVP, he’s underrated. 🃏
Wow!! How can you not have more subs?? That was an excellent video man!!! Loved it and watched the whole thing!!
....update::
Now he's won an NBA title.
This is actually a really good video
Thanks for making this video, I wanted to know more about him, one of the reasons being his signature shoot being named after his(and my) hometown.
i am convinced that jokic is dylan's fave player ever
Much respect to the 2020-2021 MVP Nikola Jokic 👏🏿
I said a couple years ago he was the best big man people laughed I’m sayin today he is the best in the nba people laugh but I’ve watched Jok for years he dominates his competition
I say he’s the best player ever. Are you laughing?
When you are sleep when getting drafted you already a legend
FYI Only Kobe knew he is special and challenged him to become MVP.
Its crazy that I was lucky to meet Jokic in my hometown in Serbia.Definitely my favourite player in nba
funny how this got recommended to me as soon as the nuggets got swept. nothing but respect for Jokic!
Holy moly ,, u got only 430 subbscribers how !!! VThe content is exelent ur voice and speaking same .BIg greetings from Serbia !!
Love the video keep it up
Great video
What can I say, serbian school. Though I was crying when we lost in 2016 in finals Serbia vs USA, back then we had so much good players, but you guys have them now.

This aged very. very well !!!
🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏
He is what a young Arvydas Sabonis was. A beast.
jokic is to refined and skilled to be a beast he's a maestro .
This a great video 💯
Jokic’s passing-ability reminds me a lot of Wilt. Same kind of passes. Jokic is like a non-athletic Wilt lol
People sleep on Wilt as one of the Goats
Love seeing Jokic getting more and more recognition the Joker on top
The undeniable MVP
5:05 he accidentally got bonked on his face with what looked like a missed pass but still did an amazing behind the back pass right after it
Great vid
He’s in the FINALS NOW
Bro why are you yelling into the mic
Love that during the most casual fans comment a clip of Perk came up. Immediate like for me haha.
👏👏👏🃏✔MVP!
Nice video! 108k
Nikola Jokic is my absolute favorite player of all time. I’m so fucking happy to be alive right now as a Nuggets fan
"most casual fans don't..." Show Perkins speaking about Chris Paul 😂😂😂
That's my bro 🙌
Jokic is my favorite player since he saids "no homo"
try again bro
nailed it

Remember me when you famous 😂
Best Center in the league...period!!
Him and clarkson is the steal of draft during that time
Called Jokic 2014. People told me I didn't know anything about Basketball. Now those same people won't STFU about how underrated he is.
People who never played game of basketball like these analists can't judge Jokara about his game... That's nonsense..
True MVP.

New born of legendary pistol p maravich
Theres mad disrespect but he will win, he wont be denied... just how he plays
“Nikola was actually sleeping during his draft pick”. Well yes because time zones exist!
Well now the nuggets are nba champions and the joker is the raining defending fmvp
Jokic winning would make 3 seasons in a row without an american player winning MVP, thats why People are pushing for curry
Jokic > Embiid
Embiid is good, can drop 20 any given night, but Jokic is sturdier and he makes any team he’s in better.
Jokic is real. He is humble and an all out baller.
8:12 clean move
Respect bro
Today joker was announced the mvp and they still calling embiid whack name in a cry of "why"

I keep wondering if he will stay for long, better start hoping trotter horses get a lot more expensive.
I cant believe so many ppl think curry deserved mvp over him this year lmfao. For what??
It’s been 5 months and I already forgot he won MVP
Put respect on his NAME!
Don’t ever say that he could be the best big big man to ever do it. Most disrespectful shit I’ve ever heard considering Shaq is a thing
