@@kjjr3270 They also didn't have AG, who one could argue had been their second best player till he got hurt. Nobody claimed the Nuggets can be an elite team without Jokic - of course his impact is absurd, and how unorthodox he is is also part of the reason they need to learn to play without him, because you can't reproduce what you do with him on the court. But I find that the narrative the team is trash without him, at least this season, is premature - there are a lot of young guys that are improving as we watch - I'd venture the team will be playing much better, even without Jokic, by the end of the season, as all the new pieces get integrated and new roles assimilated.
@@nighthiker It is still too early to give grades. This is essentially a new team that needs a little time to get to know each other better and get used to it. The fact that at this stage some of the main players are occasionally absent can be of great benefit for the later stage of the competition. Give it some time, and let's leave the analysis of this team for later
If he gets his 4th MVP in 5 years, he joins Bill Russell and Bron in that exclusive club as the only players to do it. He already has the highest career PER (over MJ and Bron), although on a much smaller number of seasons. But he looks like he'll improve his average this year!
SPOILER: Voters' fadigue does not exist, litterally only heard of for NBA MVP award to justify bookies not paying for an obvious MVP on early seson bets
Fans of the previous NBA eras criticize his defense while ignoring his great post moves and rebounding, which they think modern big men are lacking. As a fan of Wilt Chamberlain and Artis Gilmore, we shouldn't be biased towards other players just because they played in a different era.
I think that if the Nuggets don't finish in the top 3 AND Jokic doesn't average at least a 25 point triple double, someone else will get the MVP this year.
To be real ,contenders are 2+ big stars ,heck even celtics cavs got 3+ in top spots..carry job by Jokić in ring run was epic but hardly it can be repeat..if jokić opps did it again this year with shotty play by teammates that would be miracle..not sure wtf denver is doing with managing team instead to go all in and grab players and win ring or two more..idiocy
Can we stop talking about how not winning the MVP is “unfair.” Life isn’t fair, let alone voting for an NBA award. I think he’s MVP but he’s also played 10 games this season…
Who Stops Jokic from Winning MVP again?
Embiid 😂
Nothing and no one only injury.
Racist Journalists
Somebody crying.
ESPN
Only Jokic can break Jokic’s historical records…
Best waterpolo player in the history of basketball
@@Zemlja_je_ravnahe fcking tapped the ball for a full court 3 point shot with 0.3 seconds remaining. Mad man.
Way too early but definitely the most impactful superstar right now... Nuggets are pure bums without Jokic
They finally looked decent without him today(at least giving a good sign of improvement).
@@timholland2129 against a Ja less Grizzlys and Bane who couldn't hit shi. You know things are bad if your expectations are so low

facts! his current PER is on pace to break his previous set PER last season
The Nuggets have the all time best rated offense when Joker is on the floor and the all time worse when he is not this season.
Spot on. Just incredible.
1:14 wilt chamberlain lead in assist and rebounds in 1967-1968. 24.3 pts, 23.8 reb, 8.6 assist.
He’s talking about people averaging a triple double. Wilt didn’t average more than 10 assists in that season.
@ ohhh i heard, no one has lead the league in assists and rebounds, my fault
Dude. Seriously. How is he so freaking good like that?
1. most of it is genetics 🤷♂️
2. talent
3. intelligence
4. hard work
5. roots
6. calm character
7. not greedy
8. not selfish
He has the personality of a polar bear.😮💨 Even though he looks cute, he can turn into a monster within a second.
God created people for something, him for basketball
Workaholism, selflessness, highest basketball IQ in league history.
@@neko1533that sums it all up.

Love how you talk about his defense and his offensive rebounding

@@psalmerperena4120funny how they never criticized Steph but kept moving him up all time
Yet ppl somehow think prime Steph was more valuable lol. They ignore rosters not that joker needs that context
Can you make a video comparing prime curry's rosters to jokers and who had to carry way more. Compare top down
that's interesting. thanks for the idea!
Clearly the best player in the world.
That pass at 4:35 was absolutely insane
Another ring and he is a top 10 lock.
JOKIC IS THE GOAT.
voting fatigue? more like Americans hates him lol
Nah he the goat if he get to 4 rings some how
GOATić

yeah for sure. also depends on how good the other candidates will play towards the end of the year
Tatum, AD and Jokic. Its between them imo. OKC is really struggling with no Center. AD bouta go for 50 against them.
Do you expect the same for AD and Tatum too?
Think when he come back from whatever things will drop off and nuggets look like a 500 club with him.
isnt he missing games because he and his wife just had a baby? doubt hed come back looking worse because of that lol

Nobody wanna see that fluky ass shit…he has the ball like a point guard…obviously he’s going to have numbers
just like all the other point guards? his usage rate is lower than most others....
only Shai can stop this man from winning mvp
Shai? 🤣🤣
@robertomugabe11 yeahh Shai Gil-Goat Alexander
@@chuckcheesy88 sure buddy sure
@@chuckcheesy88 defo not after getting dunked on buddy
@kjjr3270 he at least challenged KJ though
Ai
he being overused by Mike Malone thats why he needs rest
No, his wife giving birth to his second child, that is why he not playing, guy have priorities 😊
