As a Laker fan since 1990s, Jokic and Co are so tough to root against that I don’t mind if they continue to stomp LAL for the next few years. Mad respect to the Joker. Dude is no frills and class on and off the court. Got that serbian Larry Bird swag
How can someone so dominant so unselfish and that amazing a passer playing straight up he will cooks you with 60% shooting if you send help he will pick you apart every single time he is like Hakeem with Jason Kidd’s passing he is just unbelievable Nuggets 🏆
Definitely top seven I can’t put him over Robinson wilt Hakeem Shaq Kareem or bill Russell yet but he’s still early in his career he has time to move up but top five already is kinda crazy considering his prime really started like three years ago
His brain seems to always know what pass can be made at all times, like light bulbs turning on and off. The fact he looks so deadpan when he does it is so entertaining.
His chemistry with Jokic is incredible. Best I've ever seen from someone not named Jamal Murray (Jamal and Jokic are like the Borg or Vulcan mind meld or something, just completely interconnected)
A sports commentator during the NBA finals earlier this year said this: "Jokic isn't playing against 5-Heat players. He's playing vs Spoelstra." There's something scary going on when a big as talented as him, is also 100% reading the game on the level of a great coach while being on the floor.
The people in the media that were trashing on this man calling him boring and saying he didn’t deserve his mvps should be ashamed of themselves. Nick Wright in particular should not have a job how can anyone take that man seriously after the nonsense he’s spewed trashing on Joker.
It’s so good I can’t learn from watching this. He’s tall so he can see everything, he's got long flimsy arms so his passing pockets are just different and finally he has the touch paired up with creativity to make a bad pass look beautiful
His decision making just so on point on time on target the ball never sticks in his hands the processing speed of his mind is insane.I remember hearing a ESPN analyst said he is the most " decisive " player he ever seen I think it’s a perfect description of Joker just unfazed with any defensive coverage you throws at him make the right play in split seconds just beautiful basketball it’s a treat to watch him play.
@@FinnMMA best stats all time rn dont mean much in this era lol he is best now with luka ,but in 90s he would avg 25 7 7 at best,now its easier to score than ever,u cant rly play real defense without hand checking+3def sec in paint dont work rly good in this zone lol,paint is wide open
thats what you think but you can never know also in general every sport usually gets way better with age cause of treatments, new forms of training and more, ah and ofc steroids cuz LeBron been on them his entire career lol American Sports are full with steroid users lmao@@ziginaigra
kudos to Jokic's team mates for constantly moving for easy shots. it would be so tempting to just stand back in awe when he is working. "sharing is caring" applies here very nicely. when role players share in the successes as much as the stars, it emboldens them to continue their efforts even further.
3:03 Jokic last sees Barton from where his team mate made the pass. 1 and a half secs later, Jokic totally trusts Barton has moved towards the basket and gives an absurd no look pass. So subtle.
Watching the Nuggets brings back memories of the play of the 80's Boston Celtics and LA Lakers. None of the other teams play complimentary basketball like this.
It’s amazing what just an extra couple tenths of a second for the offense can lead to. With the way Jokic can frame or mask or fake what he’s actually about to do, now all the shooters are a little more open. All the cutters have a little easier layup finishes. All the lobs are just a bit more uncontested. All the fast breaks are just a little more unpredictable. And he’s just amazing at it.
The weird part is that his movement being slow actually helps because he literally has more time to hold the defense in limbo as he decides what to do.
@@domskillet5744 for real. That adds another 1 or 2 tenths of a second. Also, he can regularly do things that are even better than all these examples we’ve said. Right at the beginning of the vid: The through the legs pass probly bought Brown an entire second for a cleaner finish. And 0:31, I mean KCP isn’t even that open, but adding a half-second to the Ds reaction with that pass made that possession go from like okay to awesome in terms of shot quality.
You know they used to say defense wins championships, but unstoppable offense already shows that it can win championships. If you have somebody like Nikola running it they can’t be stopped offensively he shoots lights out, and his teammate is getting dunks or wide-open threes, plus he rebounds like Dennis Rodman, in my opinion, is the best thing to happen to the NBA in 20 years
What is interesting though is that he very, very seldom cheers about anything. I've noticed he more frequently cheers about his mates point or plays. That is a most rare trait. Usually that's a trademark of people that profoundly know their field. Maybe he is indeed a genius or a savant like many speculate.
He's a f animal..Playing as a pointer and center at the same time, plus finding teammates like that...He is my countryman but I love him more because of his play style
Jokic is the best thing that can happen to a player. Look at Will Barton - nobody at Raptors even close to Jokic to play with😊 I would rather take veteran’s minumum to play with Jokic than millions to be a non-factor.
For anyone who thinks Larry Bird wouldn't dominate in today's game, I simply respond with "The Joker". The only difference, Joker (Nikola Jokić) is 1 inch taller, 60 lbs more, and slower. Both have a high IQ of the game on the floor and both are greater shooters, but giving the nod to Bird though. Joker wing span seems longer than Bird to make him more effective in the paint as a post up player.
Nuggets with Jokits has exposed that defense is an after thought in modern NBA. NBA needs players and teams that are able to defend! NBA needs players that know basketball, not just play basketball!
Its insane... Every time he gets the ball, the rest of his teammates are like: - Gordon: Throw me the ball, now its my turn to score - Jamal: No, you scored the last drive, its my turn now - Porter Jr: But the next drive is for me, I want to show you all my new move Like a grown up man playing with kids in the backyard, entertaining them, sharing the ball to everybody so they are happy for a couple of hours.
It's truly incredible, having the opportunity to watch one of the smartest players to ever play the game on my home team. For so long the Nuggets were an after thought in the conversation and now we're world champions 🏆. As young as Jokic is he has a good chance to be in the conversation for top five all-time. Or better.
0:56 i love this play every time i see it. i consider kawhi one of the best defenders probably to have ever played and he just got bodied here by ag bc of the craftiness of the nuggets team. kawhi definitely out of position there but AG doesnt get enough credit for what he does both defensively and offensively for this team.
Lots of great passes, how many of them are the result of “don’t double Jokic”? Didn’t watch more than a minute as I’ve seen all these plays before but this video is not a compilation of Jokic passing out of double teams as the title suggests.
Here Jokic be like "I don't wanna run, I don't wanna jump, I don't wanna shoot. You take it." My favorite thing is that sometimes after he makes his pass, he looks like he just loses interest in the point and starts moseying back to his defensive position. That's how sure he is that his teammate will convert.
Jokic, curry, and magic are my top picks for most fun players to play with all time. Jokic and magic because when you make a cut or find some space, you're getting the ball. Curry because half the time you set a screen for him, both defenders follow him and you're walking into a wide open layup.
Jokic does in basketball what Wayne Gretzky did in hockey. Their styles are very much alike. Great knowledge and sense of where their teammates will be. Will be- not where they are now.
In Nuggets team everybody is expected to receive the ball at any milisecond, because if you are free and open Jokic will find you even if it looks he cant see you, he will find you and that's a fact, and all you need to do is score the point and that's it, everybody happy.
4:37 my abs funniest one imo is when GS gets excited about making a 2 only being one behind with 14secs left in the 4Q and Jokic immediately drops a dime to match that 😂😂😂
I`ve been watching basketball 50+ years and can`t remember anyone better
How can you not love the man? He plays just the right way. Always.
Never ever let Jokic-Gordon be split. Their chemistry is just so insane.
He and AG are so good together, 80% of these clips involve Gordon, and I love it
Jokic is the best thing that happened to Gordon
so easy for him to score, cut dunk, cut dunk, back cut dunk, run on fast break dunk
@@japiro14or Gordon will post up while Jokic isn't even facing him and he will no look it to the only spot gordon can catch it. 😂

I think AG an Joker are the untouchable duo for Denver
yeah, when AG went to denver I knew it was just a matter of everyone getting healthy to win a ring.
His chemistry with Jokic is incredible. Best I've ever seen from someone not named Jamal Murray (Jamal and Jokic are like the Borg or Vulcan mind meld or something, just completely interconnected)
AG improved so much last season!

His unselfish play is a big part of what makes the Nuggets so good. And he fits those passes into small windows
Jokic - Gordon combo is sick!
Greatest passing big of all time.
With Gordon and Joker being so close proud momma Jokic now has four boys!

they kinda remind me of nash and his teamates on the suns.
He's a f animal..Playing as a pointer and center at the same time, plus finding teammates like that...He is my countryman but I love him more because of his play style
"He just took, what the game gives him!" Amazing.
The pass on 1:13 was the best one for me. Even MPJ and KCP was faked by that pass to Gordon inside the wall of defenders.
He does EVERYTHING offensively like Bill Russell did EVERYTHING defensively
Jokic literally looks like a pro player smurfing in a rookie elo, chilling but killing
😂😂 so accurate and while not even trying to play good just as you were playing laid back eating Chips meanwhile lmaoooo
This guy is like video game, perfect
Hands down the best NBA highlights RUclips channel
Thanks you for the hard work 🙏you are amazing 👏

4:31 is just amazing. No one expected this ridiculous pass 🔥
Learning that Joker played water polo really made some of this make sense.
First pass. That was nasty!!!
Truly one of a kind!
Imagine if he had the same passion for basketball that he has for horses
He does, just not for NBA, media circus, constant travel etc.
Jokic > AG is such an underrated pairing. They are perfect for each other
More than half the video is Jokic-Gordon dunk. 😂
Gordon is going to name his first born "Nicola"
It-s ok, you can say he is a better passer than Magic and Bron without getting yelled at
this is how to play the game, period.
Apparently, Jokic didn`t have to cry to get his MVP award.
Outstanding. Best player on the planet.
As a slasher / cutter I would love to have a guy loke that on every team. It look like so much fun.

cant guard as 1 on 1 but we must not go double team.its insane nad unfair
Doubling jokic is the worst thing you can do as a basketball player
Jokic and Gordon are out there playing football lol.
Exactly!
His passing is out of this world, especially for a center.
his IQ , offensive awareness + passing

Im gonna miss bruce brown :(
Brown was a one year wonder and will be nothing without Jokic and then you'll see he's way overrated
I'm a minute in. I haven't see a single double.
it has to be the sharp passing angles combined with incredible anticipation of motion; before it was LBJ but now the joker is the new prototype
