      Facts anyone that played gets hyped up by the right play, casuals get hyped up for something flashy. How can jokic be boring and then people mention Steph, sorry but to me Steph just shooting is kinda boring. He can't do anything else on floor, can't pass, can't defend just shoot.

    Obviously hindsight is 20/20 looking back but I honestly have no clue how he went 41st overall. Before being drafted he was already one of the best players in his league (had teams from 6 different countries) with amazing efficiency. He had one of the the basketball IQs in the draft, quick decision maker, by far the best passer for someone even close to his size (in years!), could shoot, amazing touch around the rim, all at 7 feet tall. Only thing that was a red flag was if his speed and conditioning could hold at an NBA level. With scouting today he would have certainly been a 1st round pick, probably in the late teens like Sengun, his closest comp IMO. Either way, ecstatic he’s in Denver and hopefully he can win us 4 more games 🤞

      Don't get me wrong, Nuggets attendance was horrendous back then, but that game was particularly empty because of a blizzard. I had tickets and didn't feel it was safe to drive that night. Which sucked because the Nuggets won on an insane buzzer beater.

    Kinda feels weird that NBA is pumping Jokic content on the year he didn't win the MVP... 😂😂

    Jokic became a Superstar player after his Back to Back NBA MVP Seasons and now a NBA Champion and Finals MVP

    It's crazy to see these highligts looking more athletic than today. But he basically does the same things today, he's just bigger and stronger and can force so much of this in defanse's face. Incredible.

      He looks more athletic now than this, just looks leaner as a rookie

    The facts that Denver let a 2nd round, 41st draft pick wear a number 15 jersey in his rookie season tells me that Denver had no plans to retire Melo's 15, and after the 2023 Finals, there's even more reason for them not to.

    The only thing stopping Jokic from becoming the biggest player in the league right now is him not dunking. If he had even a few posters then he'd be a leading vote getter at All star weekend
