Joker is something we've never seen before. From a Nuggets fan I am very grateful to have him on my team. And can't tha k him and the rest of the guys enough for bringing us our 1st Chip...
People always talk about Jokic not being athletic or fast, but he is actually pretty quick. He routinely leaves defenders defending air as he goes to the basket. I think his slow pace fools defenders and when he steps on the gas, it's already too late to guard him.
The best video I watched about Jokić earning respect from NBA legends were I think 2023. some playoffs game.Denver won,Jokić was brilliant and Shaq with Barkly had their show on court.There was also some former NBA players with them sitting but could not remember exactly.Shaq called Jokić to sit with them, Charles also called him come sit with us bro.Jokić thaught they want to do some game recap, he didn't know what they want him to sit with them so bad.He was confused what is going on, interview or?They called him, not for interview but to show him respect and love as equal.It was like they adopted him as their younger brother, they invited him to their family.This warmed my ❤
The mark of a great player is how he makes the entire team better. I'll bet if you ask Jokics teammates if they would want to play with another team they would say why and hell no. His teammates love him. And they have his back !! That is greatness. Enjoy him while we have him !❤
NBA MVP is a political award. They didn't want to give it to him 3 years in a row because they didn't want him mentioned with the NBA all time greats. Ironically the year Jokic didn't win MVP was his BEST year up to that point lol.
@@gloopdogg1145 that's why you have ex NBA players and coaches complaining about American pros saying they don't know the basics of basketball or how to run a play tactic
Then he says I used to think about them giving jokic his number but I don’t anymore. Well obviously you do think about it still otherwise you wouldn’t have brought it up.
Ajde ,ljudi bez ljubomornih scena ,naj bolji je Nikola .On se ne pravi vazan ,posle svakog kosa ,kao naprimer , drugi.Tacka,naj veci Nikola ,skroman iznad svega

Saying that Jokic isn't the sexiest player and that he doesn't win in a sexy way and using that as an argument against him and his game is the shallowest thing I've ever heard.
this the predominant culture in the NBA...it doesn't have a talent problem, it has a culture bias that is not team oriented (amongst other sub par attributes)
You think he cares? lol And I agree it is shallow. Your game is all that should matter and I honestly don't get what wasn't isn't sexy about his game it's poetry to me . But The sad fact is most people believe sexy and flashy is the only thing that sells tickets and gets people to watch. BUtI think Jokic brings a whole other group of people to watch and it's even better because it's skillful and fundemental.
I love how Jokic doesn't do the things that get an athlete in trouble. He's a family man yes, who sets a good example of how to keep your career safe. He doesn't mess around.
Well I saw recently where Bird did comment about joker. He said his favorite team to watch used to be the Golden State Warriors but he switched over to Denver. For him Joker is the most entertaining player in the league to watch at this point.
The intelligent high IQ multidimensional smooth easy basketball Nikola Jokic is playing, making the opposite team players not knowing what move he's going to put on them or what to do next because he could do everything and anything at any moment on the court, is the sexiest and the most attractive basketball to watch and play. He's poetry in motion and hands down the greatest basketball player of all time along with Larry Bird.
Folks from USA do not understand one thing. Here in Balkans you have numbers on player jerseys 4-15 because the tables at the gym were not full digital. You had these numbers only and you could not take any other number. 4-11 were in high demand but who wants 12-15. So basically Jokic as a chubby kid got 15 and it kind of stayed with him lmao. Carmelo just mad af
Screw Melo. I've been a Nuggets fan my whole life and the fact is that Melo never delivered any success to Denver. Then he asked to be traded. Jokic has delivered.
Nice to see a humble, genuine , NBA Savant , that isnt all tattted up , no record , no drama and no wild hair-do'''' and isnt chasing twitter followers ,if it wasnt for the European players, nobody would be watching, The NBA has turned into a Rap video, playground pickup game , fashion show..
lol...Rodman still smarting from Bird roasting him on the regular back in the day; Melo, they gave Joker number 15 on day 1....he was a second round pick.....safe to say, no one thought he'd be anything but a role player riding the bench....
I disagree, I think it has more to do with the fact that he’s not flashy, on or off the court. Think about Tim Duncan or David Robinson they were phenomenal and I feel they didn’t get as much attention or press because they weren’t flashy they were humble team players, and didn’t draw attention off the court either.
Remember what he did immediately after Denver won the championship? The first thing he did was to go thank the opposing team. You cant teach class. You either have it or you don't 😅
Yes Carmelo, they gave a dude picked in mid 2nd round in the draft your number, knowing that he will become one of the greatest player ever and his number will hang in the rafters...
Jokic's biggest haters in the media 1 Stephen E. Smith 2 Skip Bayless 3 Stephen Jackson 4 Gilbert Arenas 5 Shaquille O'Neal 6 Keyshawn Johnson 7 Kendrick Perkins 8 Dan Patrick 9 Max Kallerman 10 Jay Williams Some of them are now praising Jokic, but they are doing so insincerely. Imagine how much these people hate Jokic when there was no place in the top 10 for Nick Wright who declared that Jokic is the worst MVP in NBA history. Xenophobia and racism reign in the media.
Most of these guys are paid to generate and support narratives within the media circus, i don't think anyone of them hate Jokić. Mark Jackson on the other hand hates Malone.
Definitely a great of this generation and we’ll see what resume he can build. I’ve been a fan since Magic and I appreciate that he’s good at everything on the court. Great Iq and vicious 1st step off spin.
Beautiful collage here of true NBA greats sharing well-deserved, updated / current kudos for Jokić, i.e., sans C. Anthony, please! One of a kind star, even if he does sometimes seems like a lumbering, awkward monster making memorable, fantastic plays … all the while setting in stone more and more triples and victories in his résumé. He may not be as flashy and 'sexy' as other super stars in the NBA, past or present, but all he cares about is Winning without a being a big mouth. Excellent role model for kids too, BTW. Thank you, Nikola!
If Jokic three peats or wins 4. Id consider him #2 because hes doing it with no all stars or top players. He's truly making his teammates better and not trading for better teammates!
Shaq = a Force (a massive force knowing what he does)! I loved watching Shaq play! And I love Jokić play! Especially when he goes for the points, it's hard for the defense to get him under control (a human tank) Kareem too, another icon of Basketball you only could enjoy to watch (even if he destroyed your team)!
Somebody tell Melo that Jokic was 2nd round 41th pick. Aint nobody knew he gonna be that good, Even without that if he could some search he would know that he was wearing number 15 in his hometown.
He actually IS flashy - look at his passes. Some of them are VERY flashy (and efficient/effective). Also, his post moves are hilarious sometimes. Faking guys out badly and doing all kinds of amazing body-balanced shots.
As a Nugget fan we will always love Mello, but he should have done some research first. Joker has worn the number 15 his whole life in basketball since he was in a young kid. Mello sounded petty with that comment, and a little bit jealous, since he was never able to take the Nuggets to a championship, and it's not like the Nuggets just traded him away, he asked to be traded.
Nikola on #15: “In my hometown, I was wearing 15,” Jokic said when asked how he chose the number. So sorry Melo, nobody would have thought of you in Denver anyway...
You can’t compare today’s nuke powered with the conventional power of the past. Different class of battleships. Your units have to first be the same before you proceed with any observations. It’s like saying color tv is better than black and white
@@rickteasley2237 understandable, I’m talking about Basketball IQ in reading situations… Bird did what he did in a different context. He got reputation and in the 80s Boston was A Team… Cedrick Maxwell, Tiny Archibald, Dennis Johnson, Bill Walton, Robert Parish, McHale, KC Jones, Danny Ainge, Carr, Pistol Pete……. To name some player that play in his team… Jokic did in a different way… no trash taking, 0 intimidating, no ego, he play smart and makes everybody better.. so solid
His game is not flashy, but oh man its fun to watch, i think he surpassed dirk as the best euro since winning a title, arguably hes better than Dirk as of now
I just hope Jokic will win more NBA rings . The way he playing he definitely deserve to get few more rings. Denver should look for 1 more ALL STAR player for their squad . Personaly i would like to see Antony Davis in Denver and ofc Luka Doncic .
This league and its echo chamber have made it a point not to rain in the negative comments that seem to be constantly made about this young man… And just like them disrespecting the greats of the past today they’re doing nothing but pushing fans away…. I’m a prime example of that.
Just his measurable productive NBA stats as an over-all basketball player, Jokic has no weaknesses in any basketball statistical categories. So to you Jokic haters, the presentation of his measurable statistics would warrant him to be the BEST current over-all basketball player in the NBA, However, to you Jokic lovers, he is currently is still playing his basketball career, although he is the best player at this time, he cannot be among the all-time NBA greats, because does not have longevity on his resume.
Joker is an anomaly. He will be special until the next anomaly comes around. All the best players are now European. It can not be denied (Luka,Joker, Giannis, Wemby,etc….).
American basketball has a heavy emphasis on raw athleticism. European has an emphasis on basketball IQ and team play. Guys like Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Nikola, Luca, Sabonis, Giannis, Pau Gasol, even Wemby (freak of nature) are all great athletes in their own respect. It is their European roots, however, that adds so much to the American teams they play on. The comparisons in the video fall short, in my opinion, because they focus only on his ability for raw output. Nikola is what he is, because he plays European style basketball - AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE. He may bare resemblance to American players from the past, but, with just a little examination, you'll see that he bears way more resemblance to Luca, Wemby, and Pau than he does to Bird or Magic.

Carmelo is a great player and actually doesn't seem to be a bad person. I didn't like him much before but he kinda matured well. Jokic is obviously greater as a player and needless to say what he will always be for nugetts franchise. And I'm sure Jokic does not desrespect Carmelo. Carmelo should have just let it go and he would have been celebrated for what he is, a great player. Instead by acting jealous he hurt his reputation. You can't demand '' respect'' who have to get it, it comes naturally. And Carmelo is respected in Denver and in the NBA, there's no need to feel disrespected.
You don't sound like you are from Denver. As a fan from Denver, I HATE mellow. The way he sh*t on thew fans and the town on his way out makes most if not all of use despise this low-level loser. If I had run the Nuggets, I would have given someone the 15 jersey every year.
Melo believing that nuggets gave jokic 15 to discredit his legacy to the team is wild. That man was drafted during taco commercial. They never would have expected jokic to give them a ring and 2 mvps.
I'm tired of people acting like KD is one of the best players ever. He may be very, very skilled, but his resume isn't super impressive compared to many in the league rn and he still hasn't proved he can do much of anything without GS.
Blows my mind how bitter Melo is towards a team that he demanded a trade from and has no part of after retirement. #15 is Jokic's number, deal with it.
And it makes zero sense that they gave a 2nd round draft pick the number to erase Melo. If that was the case they would have given it to their 1st pick.
Well everyone has their own opinion and I truly appreciate both players and when it's comes to air Jordan 2 3peats is extremely difficult to match 10 straight scoring championships didn't get me wrong he was well-rounded in his professional and he's just starting to develop and only time will tell hopefully he proves me wrong I truly hope so and. Congratulations to both
"An intelligent man enjoys Jokic's game" Well said! Says a lot about the Jokic haters out there lol

They can't be more wrong!
I think it’s more accurate to say he’s deceptively quick because most players are quicker they just don’t expect it
@@eihtballjnky He plays at his own pace, slowly but then can accelerate when he catches people off guard
He is not athletic or fast. He relies on his footwork and fakes to get defenders out position and then uses his weight to get to his spots.

Similar to Curry in that regard.
He surely should be MVP last year
4 in a row for just a guy the media would of never let that happen

Also -- the REAL insult was that the first player to get 15 for the Nuggets after Melo left was.... Anthony Randolph.
If only he had the skin tone that the media loves.
so true...pure racism:)
Really? With the possible exception of Kendrick Perkins (who mainly just tries too hard with his "hot takes"), that's really not a thing.

Jokic is the best center of all time. And European all time beats na NBA all time
👑💪🇷🇸
Mvp and goat 🐐
Jokic is a family first,horses second, NBA third type of guy
Melo is such a b*. He was also the reason Jeremy Lin got traded during his prime, just because he wanted to be the star player in New York.
Jeremy lin has always been trash he didn't succeed in Houston, la and not even in Charlotte when he had no competition at the pg spot. Jeremy lin is a trash ass basketball player

Jokic wore 15 before the Nuggets Melo. If you don’t think about it anymore you wouldn’t be talking about it now
Everyone talks about the GOAT but Jokic definitely falls into the category of best all-around player.
Carmelo is a great player and actually doesn't seem to be a bad person. I didn't like him much before but he kinda matured well. Jokic is obviously greater as a player and needless to say what he will always be for nugetts franchise. And I'm sure Jokic does not desrespect Carmelo. Carmelo should have just let it go and he would have been celebrated for what he is, a great player. Instead by acting jealous he hurt his reputation. You can't demand '' respect'' who have to get it, it comes naturally. And Carmelo is respected in Denver and in the NBA, there's no need to feel disrespected.
You don't sound like you are from Denver. As a fan from Denver, I HATE mellow. The way he sh*t on thew fans and the town on his way out makes most if not all of use despise this low-level loser. If I had run the Nuggets, I would have given someone the 15 jersey every year.
hes a Great Black Man and a whyteboy took his number, cant u see the racism! u must be another racist whyteboy!
Melo believing that nuggets gave jokic 15 to discredit his legacy to the team is wild. That man was drafted during taco commercial. They never would have expected jokic to give them a ring and 2 mvps.
I'm tired of people acting like KD is one of the best players ever. He may be very, very skilled, but his resume isn't super impressive compared to many in the league rn and he still hasn't proved he can do much of anything without GS.
KD is a hired gun. That will always be his legacy. He’s out for KD
Brother… whatever u want to say… he won 2 FMVP while playing for warrior … he might not in the conversation of goat but nonetheless a great player .😀
Jokic is simply having fun in NBA. 😅😂
Nikola-Serb Is The Best BasketballPlayer!❤
Blows my mind how bitter Melo is towards a team that he demanded a trade from and has no part of after retirement. #15 is Jokic's number, deal with it.
And it makes zero sense that they gave a 2nd round draft pick the number to erase Melo. If that was the case they would have given it to their 1st pick.
big Ego`s---- and then you have Serbian dude,,,who is changing the game with his humble soul! god bless you Brate Jokicu!
I miss Grant hill. I saved some money when i was a kid to buy his fila 1 black shoes in the 90's
American media want their NBA superstars to be thugs let's be real Jokic is the complete opposite of that.
Well everyone has their own opinion and I truly appreciate both players and when it's comes to air Jordan 2 3peats is extremely difficult to match 10 straight scoring championships didn't get me wrong he was well-rounded in his professional and he's just starting to develop and only time will tell hopefully he proves me wrong I truly hope so and. Congratulations to both
