I am actually kind of curious. I think he uses his body really well, but I could see him being much less effective in the 90s dominant big men were the corner stone of just about every good team. The court vision is obviously still gonna be there, but I think needing to go up against guys like Shaq or David Robinson would make his finishing and rebounding go down a good bit.
@@jaketerpening3284 watch game refs always let Jok get beat up and when it comes to mass and physical strength Jokić is really athletic in those aspects
Jokic is the main reason I even still watch the NBA. He is a TRUE 1 of 1 generational talent that I may never see again in my lifetime. The term "makes his teammates better" is something that gets thrown around a lot but is actually only true with a few players in history. Jokic is clearcut the best I've seen to embody that statement.
so tru man. Maybe iven i dont apriciate JOkić graitne ither. I didnt watch nugetts game this year. But what you wrote , i think this will change my mined. I need to wach graitnes. From Slovenia, Luka country.
It’s insane how much better Jokic is than everyone else. He should have 4 MVPs and is on pace to win what should be his 5th but they won’t give it to him because it’d be “unfair”
Nikola Jokić is something amazing to watch. I enjoy watching this guy play. He is so exciting. He has overtaken Giannis as my favorite player in the game. People need to appreciate his game. I am truly grateful for him.
Hes not american, he would never reach that level of starpower. Case in point, does he has a shoe deal with a known brand? The one shoe deql he has as I recall is from a Chinese company.
It's always nice to see you giving proper respect to this men( my countryman btw) , I hope that nuggets will be able to give him better supporting cast in the future.
Russ looking great with the Nuggets right now. I just hope he remains consistent in the playoffs. Just needs 1 or 2 more role players for this team to be champ material.
JOKIĆ is the MOST DISRESPECTED MVP by the REFS. HE GOT SLAUGHTERED everytime snd he only got 6 FT. MEANWHILE SGA IS getting that EMBIID TREATMENT every single time he gets a whistle. NUGGETS were awesome. CB is shooting with more confidence. Russ was amazing. He will not shoot 3s good everytime but for me not turning the ball over and cutting in open space is enough. MURRAY NEEDS to bring his ass in the good condition. Because nuggets are playing so good with faster pace. He is the one that slows down everyone. He needs to get back physicaly. He should watch this game from Russ and learn a thing or two. THE MOST important he needs to beat his guards off the dribble he needs to drive to the basket more, keep the defense on his heels like Russ. That and shooting. But for that he needs to be in top shape. He owes that to teammates especially Jokić and this organization that gave him 50 mil per year for NO ALL STAR APPEARANCE and 0 ALL NBA SELECTIONS.
@joshahlstrom2764 I dont need numbers i watch the Game. If that Is less God lord he Is worse free throw merchant than Embiid. I dont like players who baits for fouls constantly. And the league who lets them do this
@jnulmtd Also, if Kobe came back to life and lost 19 straight games in the Finals, he would still have a better Finals record than LeHairline. Let that sink in. 23-14 vs. 22-33 in the Finals.
These are the stat lines Jokic needs to EVER AGAIN be considered by the MVP voters who are biased against him. Plus the Nuggets will have to be a Top 3 seed, which his "all-star caliber" teammates will make sure never happens. Because Jamal Murray is straight 😬ASS. 😬
Give Westbrook his credit, you cook him when he struggles. 29 6 and 6 last night and the nuggets are undefeated with Russ as a starter. Cmon man we know how great Jokic is but it was a team effort last night
I fully expect Russ is going to suck one game out of four, to play really well one game out of four and to have two other average games. That would be way better than anythimg Denver had in non Jokić mins
He's the obvious MVP pick this year too, but they won't give it to him cause they just sit around and decide based on what the narrative is and on how they feel about it.
Lmao😂😂😂😂 it's not even a debate. Literally Luka is hall of famer, not Jokic... Jokic is already too 15 player of all time. With another title we should argue wether or not he is greater than Hakeem eho is one of the greatest players and center who ever lived. If he somehow wins 3 rings with 3 finals MVPs... With those 3 rings he is already greater basketball player than both Steph Curry and Tim Duncan who are easily in top 10 because if somehow Jokic wins 3 championshipsx that would be easily the most insanee prime in NBA history, more dominant prime even than Shaq because since Jordan retired, nobody has surpassed him in per and box +/-. Jokic surpassed him in both of those categories and he is not even a 39 years old😂😂😂😂 he still isn't veteran. That's crazy. If he somehow wins 3 championships, nobody should debate between him and Lebron who is greater because answer is obvious and with 4 titles without a single all star player he would be my some people the greatest player of all time. I don't think he has a chance to win mire than 4 titles because simply he hasn't teammates in his career like Lebron, Jordan, Curry, Magic, Bird, Duncan had when they won their titles, but... Hipotetically, if he has 5 titles... There would be no debate that he is clearly the greatest basketball player of all time.

@HPLov3craft I don't think they have to be 1st seed. If Jokic continues with this crazy statline, if he averages triple double for entire season on 40+% from 3 point range and let's say Denver finish as top 2 or even top 3 in conference (because OKC will probably finish first, but if Shai continues to plsy like this, he will not win MVP despite OKC being first in the west because his level dropped a little hit from previous season) snd I think Jokic eill have statisticly the greatest season of his life and because of that he will win MVP. Or maybe they would give it to Tatum because Boston would most likely finish first in the east and I'm not gonna lie, Tatum is playing great basketball right now.
Westbrook was a huge factor in this game too. It wasn't just Jokic, although it's true that Jokic set the tone for this game and had a historic stat line.
@@jokada6 Kobe is a much better defender and 3 point shooter than Jokic. Also free throws Kobe has too. Kobe is a better volume scorer and midrange it’s comparable. Jokic is a better passer and rebounder and more efficient. Kobe is a better scorer and better defender. Kobe has 2 finals mvps despite only 1 mvp . Jokic has 3 MVPs and 1 finals mvp. Kobe has made first team all defence and won scoring title I think. Kobe is top 10 all time but Jokic is top 15 now
Still averages extremely poor 38% from the field. It means all previous games not only that it felt like he isn't on the court, but it felt like he played against his team 😂😂😂 that's how horrible he was. His per was 9 which is... I can't explain how horrible it is. But yeah, if there is something possitive, it is that last 2 games he is playing solid and hopefully he will be more consistent which I definitely doubt that...
@@hristijandimitrovski8664Russ plays better with the starters than he does the bench. He worked so well with Steven Adams in OKC, and now you have a big with the same skillset who’s 1000x better. I would start him over Jamal, his athleticism is far superior at this point and Jamal’s shot has fallen off too.
@joshahlstrom2764 I don't know. I still question his consistency. Even when he was in his prime, even his MVP season is a little bit overrated for me because he averaged 42% from the field that season. From 50% to somewhere between 46-47% that's good, those are dolid efficiency, if you are averaging that FG% you can say that toi are an efficient player. 45% is nah... Not really, 5% below 50 and there are many players in this league eho average even much better % than 50. And below 45% is just horrible. Russ was always the guy eho maybe will be on fire one or 2 games in a row at best and than... He will have 3-4 games in a row trash. It was the same story in Washington, it was the sane story in Lakers before he was benched, he was mediocre for Lakers, it was the same story last year for Clippers soo for me Russ was never consistent as a player. He will have good games and many bad games, simply he is that kind of a player. I jist hope that when it matters most, when Denver will play some of the most important games of this season in play offs, he will be great in those games. But he will easily have many bad games, simply he is inefficient player.
@joshahlstrom2764 and btw Murray is mediocre right now, but I think he will return to his form before all star and I still believe he will find his range in play offs.
Amazing video skap watching your videos while eating food keep up the great work most of the media never truly talks about jokics greatness just Bronny and Lebron 😂
Took a while, but Russ has found a rhythm in the past few games. I really, really hope he can sustain it. Also they need these young guys like strawther and watson who overerformed last night to somehow keep it up.
If Jokic averages an actual triple double making him the first ever as a Center and he’s top 4-5 in the west and wins his 4th mvp in a 5 year span… idc he’s TOP 12 all time AT LEAST… he’d be joining Lebron , MJ and Kareem only players with 4 or more.
You mean if he stays like this because they are currently 4th in the west Jok is leading league in rebounds and assists with 13,5/11 per game And is 5th in points per game While also being top 30 in steals 20 in blocka and 10 in deflections per game
Since Lebron is still occupying my Lakers I've gotten into watching Denver right now rooting for Russ and watching Jokic truly making teammates better. Their bench is developing an identity and what's more impressive with Jokic vs LeBron is everyone is allowed to shine or can shine. Ironically Jokic isn't playing for numbers which allows there to be team flow not being disrupted by making sure he gets his stats.
He ist statistically the MOSTR EFFICIENT volume scorer OAT, and he does that by creating his own shot. Let that sink in... Ppl be talking about his passing but his ALL TIME GREAT SCORING is even more important IMO, bc that open up his playmaking
@skap attack, are you implying that in the era of the best super athletes, the guy who doesn’t jump the highest or run the fastest is the best player in the NBA? I concur
Jokic in the East would get to the finals every year (like some clown used to do a decade ago). Only 2 teams are over 0.500 in that conference, 9 teams in the West. They should reduce the Eastern playoffs to only the 4 best teams, because the 1st round there will be a joke.
Jokic is absolutely the best Center we've seen since Shaq. Watching Jokic is part of the reason I still watch NBA Basketball. Adding Russell Westbrick was a mistake. Dude's locker room cancer.
Actually, he was fine with Slippers which is where he first got over the idea of not being a starter. And in Denver so far he had really took his leadership role especially with the kids to heart. I was against the idea but if Jokić thiks its worth it, I'm not arrogant enough to disagree. I thought for years that Vince Carter was the biggest prima donna mememe player in league. A quitter and a one trick pony. Turns out he wasn't a dumbass his whole career and ended up being known as a great veteran leader. Zach Randolph was very similar in the early part of his career but ended up a respected veteran who helped young players. Maybe he has smarted up in the exact same way and is realizing that this kinda situation is pretty unique, to play with an unselfish superstar eith zerp agenda or drama.
By the time his career is up I'm going to have Jokic top 10. Winning is the most important thing & it is a real shame he will retire with just 1 ring which you can't just ignore. However, ranking by rings implies at least some sort of title window. It's very helpful when sorting out Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Steph & the fake "King" because all those guys had several chances to compete for titles and so how many they cashed in should be a primary factor when evaluating their legacies. Jokic had none of that and so ultimately when ranking how GOOD he was in comparison to others you just can't say he wasn't good enough to win rings. This also applies a great deal to Hakeem too, but even he spent a couple years early on with an elite Ralph Sampson & eventually got Clyde Drexler.
Jokic has been carrying the Nuggets for a few years. They had OK role players during the 2022-23 season but thats all If anyone says number 15 should be retired for Melo and not Jokic I will be certain I am talking to someone who makes no sense
Yo Skap, what do you think bout adding Zach LaVine (for MPjr) on the Denver roster. Would it make a substantial impact or nah, this team is cooked with that impotent bench????
I was waiting for this. Thank you! The Denver win after you presented the mind-blowing Thunder stats highlighted Jokic's greatness. But the win is a fluke since Westbrook hit multiple threes 😂. Though he is supposed to.
So, no mention of Russ having a great game and being part of the reason they won, and poor analysis on your part on comparing AD with Murray. Murray had an ACL tear, which takes considerably longer to recover from than other injuries. AD got injured trying to play his way into shape after the bubble, and has had numerous untimely injuries during the season to get to his total. Comparing that to and ACL tear is ridiculous- and ACL tear takes a minimum of 1 season to recover from
The season has yet to begin. The 3rd best team in the East record is 4-4. That's the Lakers and Clippers at 8 and 9th respectively. All the analytical merchants man. Just enjoy the game.
It would’ve been great to see him against Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, KG, Kareem, or Shaq in their primes. I believe he could’ve held his ground against them. It would make for great basketball, better than the nonsense they play now.
Your edit's are SPOT ON!!! My ass can't take this crap from ESPN m o r o n s ... like he still say to us Embiid is better... wtf " He not even plays in PO or back-to-back" - MY words edit When I see Jokic dunking between his legs, I know that the league is over... or windmill dunk and the best think about Jokic is NBA carrer for him is a side mission. He likes horses more :) To be honest I'm rly like this MAN. He don't give a shit about media, fame etc... he is a normal guy doing his F job.
The fact you said mpj and murray are the 2nd and 3rd best players behind jokic means you don't actually watch nuggets basketball. AAROM GORDON IS OUR SECOND BEST PLAYER.
Man i really wish steph curry would leave golden state and take a pay cut and say fck it i wanna win some more rings . And join denver. Okc for kd poetic iriony , maimi heat or kings. Just to get one more official ring * lebron cough* to tie kobe for 5 rings. Cause it wont sit well with me if . Klay ends up with 5 or 6 and steph stays with 4
Get rid of Zeke the brick, Watson who is terrible shooter, Tyson and Cancar, get Jordan Clarkson and a good shooter wing and the chip is back in Colorado
Don't get it why deflections are not counting as steals? He had 8 deflections and 2 steals, which should in reality count as 10 steals as every interruption of opponents game should be counted as a steal.
Jokić having rings held against him in all-time debate should be considered a hate crime, his bum ASS teammates are too heavy to carry and my man is still putting them in a backpack
lol this FN SKAP has tricked all u racist haters in yo falling for the same playbook the media ran for LeBron. LeBron wins he gets all the credit, LeBron loses he needs more help.

Hakeem peak is comparable to Jokic when you factor in defence and offence altogether
westbrook has been playing good past few games
NJ is on another level
think if he had a great supporting cast
Still averages extremely poor 38% from the field. It means all previous games not only that it felt like he isn't on the court, but it felt like he played against his team 😂😂😂 that's how horrible he was. His per was 9 which is... I can't explain how horrible it is. But yeah, if there is something possitive, it is that last 2 games he is playing solid and hopefully he will be more consistent which I definitely doubt that...
@@hristijandimitrovski8664Russ plays better with the starters than he does the bench. He worked so well with Steven Adams in OKC, and now you have a big with the same skillset who’s 1000x better. I would start him over Jamal, his athleticism is far superior at this point and Jamal’s shot has fallen off too.
@joshahlstrom2764 I don't know. I still question his consistency. Even when he was in his prime, even his MVP season is a little bit overrated for me because he averaged 42% from the field that season. From 50% to somewhere between 46-47% that's good, those are dolid efficiency, if you are averaging that FG% you can say that toi are an efficient player. 45% is nah... Not really, 5% below 50 and there are many players in this league eho average even much better % than 50. And below 45% is just horrible. Russ was always the guy eho maybe will be on fire one or 2 games in a row at best and than... He will have 3-4 games in a row trash. It was the same story in Washington, it was the sane story in Lakers before he was benched, he was mediocre for Lakers, it was the same story last year for Clippers soo for me Russ was never consistent as a player. He will have good games and many bad games, simply he is that kind of a player. I jist hope that when it matters most, when Denver will play some of the most important games of this season in play offs, he will be great in those games. But he will easily have many bad games, simply he is inefficient player.
@joshahlstrom2764 and btw Murray is mediocre right now, but I think he will return to his form before all star and I still believe he will find his range in play offs.
You have to make a video on bronny going to the g leauge and being a tool for his fathers ego.
Been there done that
I laughed out loud at that +39.
Amazing video skap watching your videos while eating food keep up the great work most of the media never truly talks about jokics greatness just Bronny and Lebron 😂
me too, I mostly eat watching his videos, and in each one of them there's this 1:49 😄
Mythical isnt the right term. Legendary Status!
Took a while, but Russ has found a rhythm in the past few games. I really, really hope he can sustain it. Also they need these young guys like strawther and watson who overerformed last night to somehow keep it up.
Jokic is one bad man i don't know why someone would question this mans skills .
Man, this is gonna be 06 Kobe all over again. This team is ass outside of the best player. Remove the joker and this team only wins 15 games.
It's horrible to watch. They should have traded Murray away ages ago
The goat.
Won't be surprised if Jokic wins his 4th MVP this season
And the refs were a disgrace, they let OKC get away with so many fouls. Lebron would have gotten at least 10 FTs more in his situation.
Like that Braun push off they didn't call
If Jokic averages an actual triple double making him the first ever as a Center and he’s top 4-5 in the west and wins his 4th mvp in a 5 year span… idc he’s TOP 12 all time AT LEAST… he’d be joining Lebron , MJ and Kareem only players with 4 or more.
You mean if he stays like this because they are currently 4th in the west
Jok is leading league in rebounds and assists with 13,5/11 per game
And is 5th in points per game
While also being top 30 in steals 20 in blocka and 10 in deflections per game
Since Lebron is still occupying my Lakers I've gotten into watching Denver right now rooting for Russ and watching Jokic truly making teammates better. Their bench is developing an identity and what's more impressive with Jokic vs LeBron is everyone is allowed to shine or can shine. Ironically Jokic isn't playing for numbers which allows there to be team flow not being disrupted by making sure he gets his stats.
He ist statistically the MOSTR EFFICIENT volume scorer OAT, and he does that by creating his own shot. Let that sink in... Ppl be talking about his passing but his ALL TIME GREAT SCORING is even more important IMO, bc that open up his playmaking
The setting the money on fire clip I’m dead lmfao
Jokic now >>> LeBron ever has been
Jokic > Lebron Jordan.
So wrong
@@Pablo-gn7fmlmao
Christian Braun has replaced KCP very well but besides Jokic, obviously, the team is still lacking so much
A generational talent ✨
Jokic got God given talent.
If Jokic gets Wetbrick a ring he's the greatest of all time in any sport ever.
The Murray stuff compared to Davis is a bit dumb mate, Murray's ACL is in that period.
@skap attack, are you implying that in the era of the best super athletes, the guy who doesn’t jump the highest or run the fastest is the best player in the NBA? I concur
Jokic in the East would get to the finals every year (like some clown used to do a decade ago). Only 2 teams are over 0.500 in that conference, 9 teams in the West.
They should reduce the Eastern playoffs to only the 4 best teams, because the 1st round there will be a joke.
Eastern conference is absolute garbage,the last time it was a good conference was the 1990s.
They should get rid of conferences. There is no need, and just seed all teams based on record.
You’re so wrong
Jokic is absolutely the best Center we've seen since Shaq. Watching Jokic is part of the reason I still watch NBA Basketball. Adding Russell Westbrick was a mistake. Dude's locker room cancer.
Actually, he was fine with Slippers which is where he first got over the idea of not being a starter. And in Denver so far he had really took his leadership role especially with the kids to heart. I was against the idea but if Jokić thiks its worth it, I'm not arrogant enough to disagree. I thought for years that Vince Carter was the biggest prima donna mememe player in league. A quitter and a one trick pony. Turns out he wasn't a dumbass his whole career and ended up being known as a great veteran leader. Zach Randolph was very similar in the early part of his career but ended up a respected veteran who helped young players. Maybe he has smarted up in the exact same way and is realizing that this kinda situation is pretty unique, to play with an unselfish superstar eith zerp agenda or drama.
Skap makes a boring NBA fun. Great video 😂😂😂
By the time his career is up I'm going to have Jokic top 10.
Winning is the most important thing & it is a real shame he will retire with just 1 ring which you can't just ignore. However, ranking by rings implies at least some sort of title window. It's very helpful when sorting out Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Steph & the fake "King" because all those guys had several chances to compete for titles and so how many they cashed in should be a primary factor when evaluating their legacies.
Jokic had none of that and so ultimately when ranking how GOOD he was in comparison to others you just can't say he wasn't good enough to win rings. This also applies a great deal to Hakeem too, but even he spent a couple years early on with an elite Ralph Sampson & eventually got Clyde Drexler.
Hey racist Westbrook Lead the team in scoring when they beat his old team
Aww man! I was waiting for "heinous ASS" when talking about the bench.
Give him the mvp at this point, best player in the league
Skap I'm wit u but jokic defense has to be better even though nobody plays defense nowadays I'm wit u though
Jokic has been carrying the Nuggets for a few years.
They had OK role players during the 2022-23 season but thats all
If anyone says number 15 should be retired for Melo and not Jokic I will be certain I am talking to someone who makes no sense
AG got a hamstring injury, 7 games into the season, he ain't play ball in 5 months wtf
I wonder how many games has Lebron played in that six season stretch? 😂
Yo Skap, what do you think bout adding Zach LaVine (for MPjr) on the Denver roster. Would it make a substantial impact or nah, this team is cooked with that impotent bench????
All that matters is that he plays and wins gold at the upcoming European Championships!
I was waiting for this. Thank you!
The Denver win after you presented the mind-blowing Thunder stats highlighted Jokic's greatness.
But the win is a fluke since Westbrook hit multiple threes 😂. Though he is supposed to.
So, no mention of Russ having a great game and being part of the reason they won, and poor analysis on your part on comparing AD with Murray. Murray had an ACL tear, which takes considerably longer to recover from than other injuries. AD got injured trying to play his way into shape after the bubble, and has had numerous untimely injuries during the season to get to his total. Comparing that to and ACL tear is ridiculous- and ACL tear takes a minimum of 1 season to recover from
Jokic is the greatest center of all time behind Hakeem Bill Russel Wilt Chamberlain and Shaq
almost +40 on/off is absolutely nuts
Funny how you didn't make a video about the warriors beating the Celtics team you love so much
Didn’t Russ have a 20-20-20 game a back in OKC?
Wow my boy skap really changing on us, no acknowledge of the play of westbrook man😔, make skap great again
Also that’s not fair Jamal Murray tore his ACL. AD has never just straight up missed an entire season
Even Shaq is acknowledging- that says it all
great video
If the Nuggets get more 3 pointers and solid role players they are hard to beat because of the Joker
The season has yet to begin.
The 3rd best team in the East record is 4-4.
That's the Lakers and Clippers at 8 and 9th respectively.
All the analytical merchants man. Just enjoy the game.
Russ actually had a good game last night and fun fact: nuggets are undefeated with russ starting
It would’ve been great to see him against Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, KG, Kareem, or Shaq in their primes. I believe he could’ve held his ground against them. It would make for great basketball, better than the nonsense they play now.
Your edit's are SPOT ON!!! My ass can't take this crap from ESPN m o r o n s ... like he still say to us Embiid is better... wtf " He not even plays in PO or back-to-back" - MY words
edit
When I see Jokic dunking between his legs, I know that the league is over... or windmill dunk
and the best think about Jokic is NBA carrer for him is a side mission. He likes horses more :)
To be honest I'm rly like this MAN. He don't give a shit about media, fame etc... he is a normal guy doing his F job.
The fact you said mpj and murray are the 2nd and 3rd best players behind jokic means you don't actually watch nuggets basketball. AAROM GORDON IS OUR SECOND BEST PLAYER.
Jokic is so amazing he can turn Bronny into a decent NBA player.
Jokic is on pace to be the 2nd greatest center of all time next to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Perkins will say that he's Padding his stats
Man i really wish steph curry would leave golden state and take a pay cut and say fck it i wanna win some more rings . And join denver. Okc for kd poetic iriony , maimi heat or kings. Just to get one more official ring * lebron cough* to tie kobe for 5 rings. Cause it wont sit well with me if . Klay ends up with 5 or 6 and steph stays with 4
I wish the Nuggets could get Bruce Brown back or a Tyrese Maxey or Jarrett Allen.
Get rid of Zeke the brick, Watson who is terrible shooter, Tyson and Cancar, get Jordan Clarkson and a good shooter wing and the chip is back in Colorado
Thats crazy. Jokic is my fav player. And hes the best playmaker by far way better than lebron.
I hate how Jamal is so inconsistent tho. This is so sad for Jokic.
Nikola jokic is so OP Devs need to nerf his teammates...
The fact that you didn’t mention Westbrooks contribution is disgusting
Don't get it why deflections are not counting as steals? He had 8 deflections and 2 steals, which should in reality count as 10 steals as every interruption of opponents game should be counted as a steal.
Because not all deflections result in getting possession of the ball and the opponent can still retain possession. So your stat isn’t right
Our Glorious King LeGoat James!!!!!!!!!
Russ might just be better as a starter alongside Jokic than Murray right now
Joker is not a joke
Jokić having rings held against him in all-time debate should be considered a hate crime, his bum ASS teammates are too heavy to carry and my man is still putting them in a backpack
@@mort996 facts
lol this FN SKAP has tricked all u racist haters in yo falling for the same playbook the media ran for LeBron. LeBron wins he gets all the credit, LeBron loses he needs more help. Which most of the time that was BS. And since y'all hate black people so much infuriated y'all.
Now SKAP is doing the same thing with joker lol. Joker loses its everybody else's fault, he needs more help. Joker wins give him all the credit mythical status lol. This is a complete crap 🤣
