Absolutely agree! Nikola Jokic's skills on the court are nothing short of genius. His court vision, passing ability, and versatility make him a standout player. It's a joy to watch him play, and the way he elevates the game is truly remarkable. One of the most unique and talented players in the league. 🔥🏀
At this point in NBA history. Nikola Jokic is the best offensive player who ever lived. There has never been a player before him, not Magic, not Bird, Lebron, Kobe, Durant nor Jordan who mastered so many dimensions offensively like Jokic. He is the best passer ever, better than Nash or Magic. The variety of passes, the variety of positions from which he passes exceeds both of them. He passes from rebounds in his own half, running the point on fast breaks, from the high post, low post, cross court passes behind the 3 point line that find the shooting pocket of the man in the opposite corner, manipulating the defense with misdrection plays, etc. He adds height and his scoring ability from low/high post, midrange and 3point, which gives him passing options that neither Nash or Magic had. Low post he is as versatile, creative and efficient as Olajuwon or McHale, his midrange is at least as good as Nowitzkis and his 3 point shot is reliably good. He is like one of these absud looking Swiss army knives that has 100 different tools and blades integrated. What makes him so absurdly special is his ability to deploy any option perfectly in any given moment. With so many options decision making can become really difficult but he is a genius. How often does he opt for the best but most simple solution. A pass to a player who has mismatch, a handoff a quick touch pass. To round up his offensive dominance, he is also one of the best screen setters in the NBA and offensive reboiunders.
@@soulergy1soulrgy1 when one looks at their entire career i kind agree.. but the 2023 season is probably the best offensive season any body ever had... i think only Lebron maybe in 2009 comes close... everybody else is no where to be found.
I am looking at the stats and they paint a very clear picture. He produces numbers we have never seen before. There has not been a scorer, rebounder, playmaker with those numbers. Not even close. Jordan scored more, but his rebounds and assists don't compare. Magic has higher assist numbers but is not equal in rebounds and scoring. Then there is Bird, the closest thing to Jokic. Look at the playoff stats at his absolute peak in 85/86, prime Bird: 25.9pts; 9.3 rbs, 8,2 apg. 51,7 % from the field, 41,1% 3pts, 92,7% fts. Those are staggering numbers. That was Bird playing in God-mode. The most balanced offense numbers of the greats, better than Jordan or Magic. And here is Jokic playing 2 minutes less per game: 30ppg, 13,5 rpg, 9,5 apg, 54,8 % fg%, 46,1% 3pts, 79,9% fts. Except for free throws that is better in ever single statistical category. And the eye test confirms it. These are the most freakish numbers we have ever seen in the play-offs. It is inconceivable that your best rebounder is also your best play-maker is also your best scorer. We are talking offense here. I rate Jordan higher since he is the much better defensive player. But as far as offense goes, Jokic is the gold standard. Freakish volume with freakish efficiency, that is unprecedented. Lebron James in his second Cleveland stint hat comparable numbers but not the same efficiency. @@soulergy1soulrgy1
Jokic is born anime character with the leading role: 1. Emperors Eye (power to see and analyse all possibilities on the court, and to take best action). 2. Right of postpone (he can change direction of the pass with one hand in last second). 3. Misdirection dance of Nuggets (passes that manipulate defence and to find best open teammate). 4. Devil's luck (in clutch moments and for brief time he activates the devil's luck, and upon activation ball will find the net no matter what). 5. I am five - Nuggets lore of synergy ( power that comes from trust and selfishness. This last power will become legacy for the future Nuggets leaders to respect and follow. By preserving the legacy, Nuggets basketball school and future will continue be secured).
Jokic might be the best NBA player I have ever seen. He can do it all. He doesn't showboat and try to put up huge numbers but he does it anyway by being a team player. He's as good as a point guard at passing, as good as a forward at shooting and a great center. How can that be stopped? On top of that he rarely even jumps so his odds of getting hurt are small.
THIS is for all those mumbling Jokic/Denver are boring to watch, Jokic is slow, Jokic doesn't play defense... So creative, so unselfish, team oriented, beautiful basketball. Denver are champions in most beautiful way and Nikola is by far best basketball player (this is not 1on1 sport) on the planet!!
It's a disgrace how much referees are willing to look the other way when Jokic is on the court. This guy was beaten so much I felt sorry more than once. And despite that still finals MVP and Nuggets are champions
Just a reminder the man spent the off season watching horses race and dancing like a goofball. You wouldn't know it with the level of play already. Magnificent.
Man I haven’t watched this many videos of a player since Larry and Magic. Great shooters come and go but truly great players make their teammates better. That’s why players like Kevin Durant aren’t even in my top 10.
I been watching since Bird's first season when he saved the NBA from obscurity. Magic said, there will never be another Larry Bird, he was right, Jokic is even better !!! I mean I fully expect a score, pass or shoot, every time he gets the ball.
Nobody gonna stop the joker, he and his team are the bomb. And nikola jokic is so domi ant he is the modern day wilt chamberlain, bill russell, oscar robertson all in one.
He's definitely going to repeat. The question is, how long until Wembanyama steals his thunder? We'll get and idea of that when these two finally match up.
Der Mann heißt JokiC. Könnte man wissen bei einem 2fachen MVP & Finals MVP. Falls ihr bei NBA Europe jemanden braucht, der die Namen richtig schreibt, meldet euch 😁😉
im looking for carmelo anthony's #15 is in denver...!!?😂😂😂😂 this is a perfect example of hype vs reality...hype is for the poor carmelo that is only for the $$$$..just like kd in the wolves...😂😂😂😂now look at this guy,he isnt even recognized by the so called legends/analysts..but when they won their ring with jokic as a leader,they now recognize him.A perfect example that NBA IS JUST FOR THE $$$$...
C'mon. This guy is going to do an average triple double this year and 32 points per game 😂 That's the strenght of this team. Nobody want to be the star and they do the best they can to win a game.
He was the reason I started to watch NBA games. Absolute pleasure to watch Nikola Jokic and this Denver Nuggets team play.
exactly same here
Nah, he's boring, the ''experts'' say! 😂🤣
in my mind if you like basketbal the sport, than you love Jokic, if you only watch for highlights than you dislike his calm behavior

Already one of the greatest players of all time. Bro is a savant with the rock. The 303 loves you Jokara!
Jokić is the best thing that happened to AG 😎
Jokic will 4-Peat MVP this year 🃏
Facts embid is classless
Jokic is a real class act
The reason why I went back to watching the NBA after so many years.

yes that season run he had to win the chip is probably the best offensive run in NBA history... hopefully he can win more chips... at least 2 more
You can't say better than bird, magic or Jordan, let's wait and see, hold your horses! Buddy...

The men and the team who made me fall in love whit the sport again after years...
man is the best player ive ever seen
Denver native here... Love how the team is looking right now.
Mighty!
Should have kept Bruce brown

He's as good as a point guard at passing, as good as a forward at shooting and a great center. How can that be stopped? On top of that he rarely even jumps so his odds of getting hurt are small.
I would say that average of near triple double on almost 68 true shooting is big numbers
Hopefully he doesn’t hurt himself pouring concrete for his mama
Best player in the world and it's not close. Been the best for 3 years in a row.
even more than 3 years but before he had really trash teammates
Jokic best passer in the nba rn
Real MVP
The best player in NBA! Most valuable for his team.
Truly one of a kind!
THIS is for all those mumbling Jokic/Denver are boring to watch, Jokic is slow, Jokic doesn't play defense... So creative, so unselfish, team oriented, beautiful basketball. Denver are champions in most beautiful way and Nikola is by far best basketball player (this is not 1on1 sport) on the planet!!
The real MVP!we all witness history here
How does he make it look so easy lol. Cant wait till this season starts.
Ο καλύτερος παίκτης του NBA την παρούσα στιγμή ...🎉🎉🎉
Nikola jedan i jedini.
He built the team around him. As you watch on tv and RUclips you barely see the targets he passes to.
It's a disgrace how much referees are willing to look the other way when Jokic is on the court. This guy was beaten so much I felt sorry more than once. And despite that still finals MVP and Nuggets are champions
7:57 bro didnt realize or simply did not care that he gor a buzzer beater gane winner, lol. Love watching him play.
Magicni Jokic! ❤
Nikola je srpski Bog. Čovek sa takvim pregledom igre, se rađa jednom u sto godina !!!
2:09 I had this on repeat for 20 minutes.
We are witnessing MEGA GOAT that will never repeat!Embrace THAT!
😂
Headband Jokic
@1:35 that pass thru 4 players... man....
like a rocket!
Just a reminder the man spent the off season watching horses race and dancing like a goofball. You wouldn't know it with the level of play already. Magnificent.
Man I haven’t watched this many videos of a player since Larry and Magic. Great shooters come and go but truly great players make their teammates better. That’s why players like Kevin Durant aren’t even in my top 10.
La NBA ya me aburría hasta que vi jugar a Nikola Jokic.. Ahora espero ver a los Denver Nuggets.
Joker is the unathletic looking created player with 99 in all stats
When have you ever seen a big man whose best highlights are his amazing passes?
I been watching since Bird's first season when he saved the NBA from obscurity. Magic said, there will never be another Larry Bird, he was right, Jokic is even better !!! I mean I fully expect a score, pass or shoot, every time he gets the ball.
Jokic and Doncic are teaching the NBA the new level of passing.
13:32 that's master class move
The best basketball player that ever ran the courts of this planet
Jokara voli te tvoja Srbija!❣❣❣💯
He's great but also his teammates are really good.
The freegen guy sgot eyes behind his head!!
Magnificent artist on the court. I miss Bruce Brown and auncle Jeff 😪😪
12:05 that pass with 1.8 sec left
Nobody gonna stop the joker, he and his team are the bomb. And nikola jokic is so domi ant he is the modern day wilt chamberlain, bill russell, oscar robertson all in one.
Jokic = bucket.
This guy is amazing….
Joke to Gordon:I am your L.A.up father😂
M V P ❤❤❤
Jokic is as dominant as Shaq in a total oposit way.
He's definitely going to repeat. The question is, how long until Wembanyama steals his thunder? We'll get and idea of that when these two finally match up.

Crowd going defencee is the most cringe thing ever
