Jokic this season so far : 3rd in scoring, 30 points a game. 1st in rebounds, 14.0 a game, 2nd in assists, 11.5 a game, 1st in 3 point percentage. This is historic.
@officerricky3230 did you take the small bus I said top 5 and only Westbrook won, but then they figured out he was padding his stats so he never won again. Kind of like what jokic is doing now.
Jokić sat out the fourth quarter needing one assist for a triple double because the Nuggets were winning by more than 20 points. saying he’s a stat padder is just absurd…

Let me say this: Nobody has done more with less than Jokic has these past few years. Hasn’t ever had a teammate make an all star team playing with him and still dominated on his way to a ring and 3 MVPs.
Only person i can think of recently is Hakeem, he had the least help from everyone recently, Nikola is right there in worst supporting cast to win a chip alongside Dirk

The Jokic hate is so ridiculous. This man is having an historic year and theres still some sort of disrespect go his way. He shouldve had 4 already but yall literally begged for Embiid and how hilarious does that look now?
Is it any surprise? Just look what Caitlin went through her first season? She and Jokic should compare the welts they’ve had received without a foul called? 😂
Who is y’all? Nobody voted for that free throw merchant, Embiid lost 2 years in a row then started to cry and beg his way to the MVP award. Along with ESPN and Perkins trying to push the racism allegations in favor for Embiid.
How? He shouldn't have even won 3... Why would Jokic have won that award when his team fared worse than others and other players seeded higher with less established teams were playing both ends? You all just have a weird affinity for the man, but he's missing an entire 1/2 of his game.
He dropped 33/17/10 as soon as he returned from his leave of absence, despite not getting the foul calls he deserved, and despite his team's scoring option shooting 4/16. He certainly should be favored to win the MVP at this point.
I believe Jokic and Giannis should be the two front runners, Giannis bout to have the two ONLY season with 30 ppg with 60% from the field and Jokic wanna drop a 30 point triple double and 50% from three 😭
@@alexisrobledoperez1376 Certainly. Giannis is almost on Jokic's level. He's an all-time great, and he's being overlooked in favor of Tatum, which is funny. Apparently, riding the coattails of a superteam makes you better than Giannis.
@@ZZZ-pu4yw Jokic isn't the one who was tasked with guarding the rim. Admittedly, it's not his forte, so he usually just guards the space between the perimeter and the rim, and he's quite good at that. Usually, Aaron Gordon is tasked with guarding the rim, but he's sidelined with an injury right now. Also, Jokic's on/off defense numbers have been #1 or #2 in the league for years, so his defensive impact is undeniable.
@@NoahLinden buddy is playing wit 3 starters at all times malone does this on purpose to bost his numbers or you explain to me why murray always plays with 4 bench players because if you look at the on off in the playoffs since 2020to 2023 they are better by 0.7 when he is on the floor
Jokic is literally S tier skill wise in damn near every aspect of his game but people keep refusing to give him credit cuz “he’s boring” or he doesn’t have enough “aura”
if he was black/lightskin with a taper fade or dreads, this man would be the most liked player itl. Its jus bc hes a chubby average looking european that people say ts
Bro jokic has more aura than any other player in the league. Nothing exudes aura more than being a man’s man, not giving an ef and providing for his family.
@@denisl2760 I'm saying, we're watching him put up 29/18/16 and he looks bored. I fully believe that if Adam Silver replaced the Larry O'Brian with a silver Arabian racehorse we would watch in terror as Jokic breaks every record in the sport.
notice how they only complain when a white dude (don't matter the country) win an mvp. Nash, bird (for getting 3 in a row), dirk, and jokic. Those are the only mvps that the players CONSISTENTLY complain about in the open. What a coincidence
What a shocker that the We Wuz Kangs people hate another great ball player cause of his skin color. Yet they continually race bait, play the victim card , and are clearly xenophobic. GIANNIS AND Jokic are the best players in the world. Much better and much more dominate then any player from the states. On god!
Tbh a portion of the black community is very racist against white people and they view basketball as a "black sport". So they don't want to see white people soar to greatness in that sport. I think its a feeling of "you whites have so much. Let us have basketball".
@@John-yp2hothat's like saying America is a predominantly white country. So it makes sense that the whites complain about the other races. That makes no sense. Racism is just racism.
Wow man, that was good. As a writer, I really appreciate it when someone uses regular language, combined with passion and pointed facts, to make a strong argument. Kudos brother. That was excellent.
It’s principle for me to not give racists or ignorant people the time of day. If Gilbert Arenas or any other former player wants to stand on this belief of “I played professionally and you didn’t, so my take is superior”, while attempting to tear down or spew hate towards a player for no reason other than their background and heritage, then I just tune them out and keep it moving.
There's literally a logical fallacy called appeal to authority that states someone being an expert doesn't make them right. However, their expertise can be used to provide insight and nuance to things that a layperson might not be able to provide. The difference there is that they are relying on the actual contents of the argument to persuade you, not simply saying, "I'm and expert so I'm right".
@darkstarmedia imagine playing the race card for a foul merchant like Jokic he stole the mvp last year from Shai and Jokic got exposed by Naz Reid .Jokic os the worst winner since steve nash
Honestly, as a Black dude, I think it’s necessary. It’s literally racism and being xenophobic. We should call out if the races were switched, due to some wouldn’t have a problem with it if this was LeBron or Ant for example. Jokic is already an all time great, however, having four MVPS would make his already insane career even better. If he deserves the reward he should get it. It shouldn’t matter because this is a whole new season with an almost different roster. His right hand is very inconsistent and him doing this with the other players should have him as the front runner. I’m fairly confident he most if not all of the MVPs have gone to the right person, you could argue Steve Nash’s second one, and maybe the James Harden vs Russel Westbrook one, but other than that, I feel like it went to the right person. If they end up giving it to someone else due to “voter fatigue”, a new rule needs to be introduced, saying that should be allowed. Give the MVP to the player that deserves it. Also, so many other people shouldn’t even have a vote, Kendrick, Stephen A for example. Tim Legler should have one (if he doesn’t) and I wouldn’t mind some NBA RUclipsrs getting a vote because a lot of them know the game better than the media.
Jamal Murray has really made me appreciate Jokic even more (especially this season) The supposed “2nd star” is too inconsistent to be relied upon and the bench unit still has no backup big. meanwhile jokic drops 30/12/14 like its nothing😒
Jokic is having a 92 Jordan 2013 Bron 2001 Shaq 03 Duncan 67 wilt 62 Russell 72 Kareem type of season, he’s in that goat tier and it needs to be recognized.
@@Oly1y What's the argument then? What's the context? Wilt had the context of facing the most one-sided dynasty of his era that won 11 rings in 13 years. Is that Wilt's fault? What about team achievement? INDIVIDUALLY there is no argument based on output, the guy who was averaging 40ppg-25rebs-14blks
Jokic winning 4 mvps in 5 years would be pretty big for Jokic legacy, but it would be a VERY good depiction of the incompetency of the nuggets. You got the undisputed best player for that long and you can't win more than one?
I've been watching every game of the Nuggets ever since the 2018 season and I've watched the unbelievable stretch of Lebron's dominance from the very beginning; honestly I've never seen a player who is more unselfish and dominant as Jokic. His shot making round the basket, his court vision, the much improved 3 point shooting all these things we all see, are second to none, but the things we overlook in my opinion what makes him so dominant, is his constant screening and involvement even without having the basketball. Another thing that gets overlooked is his defensive awareness. He reads defenses very well, but his rim protection is the only weakness in his game, but that doesn't make someone necessarily a bad defender. Also he never talks down to his teammates and shows great trust even when guys are playing poorly or making critical mistakes. He does sometimes complain a bit too much about refereeing (which I think is logical seeing how physical they allow defenders to be against him, but hey I'm a bit biased perhaps) but that has improved tremendously this season. I never post anything on a media platform normally, just wanted to give my 2 cents in an honest conversation on his greatness.
Russ and harden killed themselves to get those triple doubles on teams where they had the GREEN LIGHT to do whatever they wanted. Jokic game is so effortless and he doesn’t try harder than the other two, that is out there is greatness when you take something so difficult and make it look so easy to the point where people get upset at you for it.
I would argue he works just as hard as those guys, its just that the stats come from him not chasing them, rather he works within the system and just does what comes natural to him.
that stat dont hold much weight unless u know the volume he shoot threes at because u can use that stat to say hes a better shooter than curry now which isnt true because of volume.. i mean if a guy is shooting 2 open 3s a night and hits 1 everytime hes already shooting 50% from 3... but hes still an insane player btw...
@@lestonclark2398 Funny that the NBA had to do away with the 3 point fg % stat (way harder to find than it used to be) once they realized their most marketable 3 point shooter wasn't in the top 15 in 3 point shooting %...
Bruh who cares what the No Rings/No Awards podcast has to say? Gils only award is Most Improved Player, which goes do dudes whos team didn't believe in them the year before or were injured and now ball out.
If y'all don't want Jokic to win another MVP, one simple solution: Stop Him. Same way Curry and KD stopped Bron from winning more during their glory days. Your only hope is Giannis, Shai, and Luka because Embiid is a bum.
Bro not going to lie you’re my favorite RUclipsr to watch videos about NBA you are hitting points from every angle and calling people out on their bull**** and this is only my second video I’ve ever seen of yours. Keep doing what you’re doing I’m going to continue to watch moving forward. Mad respect to you!
He’s not even trying to win the award, he’s just playing. He’s said multiple times he doesn’t care about MVP and his reaction when he wins it proves that’s likely true. He’s just playing, if he was chasing awards the stats would be even crazier he’d just lose some efficiency.
They're trying to protect legacies... It's an image based league. Giving 3x mvps to Jokic consecutively tarnishes a lot of the former great's images...
LBJ was robbed of MVPs, MJ was robbed of MVPs, Shaq was robbed of MVPs etc. Hey, Jokic could get another MVP...NO!!! WE CAN'T LET HIM GET IT, IT'S UNFAIR!!! These Jokic haters are pathetic.
Shit, I think he’s gonna do it. The problem with Jokic is that his style of basketball will automatically generate him crazy stats, so he’s gonna pretty much be in the mvp convo in every season he plays. The issue comes from how you argue against him, because it turns into pettiness, instead of actually analyzing the value his numbers bring (ie. 10 assist from Jokic are worth more than 10 assist from Westbrook, the same way that a Curry 3 is worth more than a Harden 3; it’s about how they do it, that sort of thing.)
I dont watch basketball so I dont understand what you're saying. Why is a 3 from Steph Curry worth more than a 3 from James Harden? The only time I've seen basketball is the finals every year. So at most 7 games a year.
@@tgs5725 because steph curry makes 3's at a higher percentage meaning, less 3's have to be taken to get the same result. So he means that westbrook has to attempt more passes (therefore worse quality) passes to get as many assists as jokic.
No stats are automatic the hell you talking about? He earns all that and his play style doesn't mean automatic shit. If that was the case all the bigs would copy his style since it's automatic crazy stats as you say 😂.
@@JakeKoenigwow, you're stupid. There's no way you watched a video talking about the MVP, then went to a comment section under said video about MVPs, saw someone comment under that video about the MVP, and thought to yourself, "he's definitely talking about rings"
I'm surprised no one mentions how healthy he is for his size. At this point in a 5s career they have at least 1-2 month long injuries. He's incredibly durable.
2:03 acting like Russ's triple double mvp yr he wasnt impactful is crazy. Their 2nd best player was Victor olidipo and they would have been a bottom of the conference team. Also his PER numbers were insane that yr
3:45 thats a fact and for the past 6 years or so, the two players that consistently been playing at an MVP level every year are Jokic and Giannis. And they are the two best players in the league. Neither one of them gonna win a chip this year because they have to do to much right now which means they teams are not good enough to win. But the fact that they both putting up video game numbers dang near every night this season and have been doing this for the past 5 or 6 years is crazy (yeah Jokic started putting up his video game numbers later but he is by far the most constant besides Giannis in the league FOR YEARS)
Jokic vs Giannis vs AD could be one for the ages. If Jokic keeps this up I don't really think he loses as long as he gets a high seed. I think his numbers will come down a bit which could open up the door for AD and Giannis.
They are hating on Jokic because they aren’t personal with him, they don’t hang out with him… because Giannis Jokic came out of nowhere, Luka still came out of seas, the NBA wasn’t ready for this type of era…
There are so many haters in these NBA/WNBA circles and it makes me so sad. It is just wild to me how people can't see how fun the stars of today are to watch. Instead of propping these players up and appreciating what they can do, everyone is instead obsessed with tearing them down because they don't meet this preconceived ideal of what they should be, who they should be, or how the game should be played. It's basketball, it is a kid's game, have fun and enjoy the game. edit: spelling
Brown rn is arguably as good as Tatum or better. On top or 3 other all star level players as their 3-4-5. “Holiday’Kristaps’white. No one in the league could average jokic numbers on that efficiency. Nor could carry a team like that with no other all stars. Jokic won’t get that respect but he is literally already top 12 ever. YES HES OVER KD. He can be your best passer scorer and rebounder all at an all time great level. His defense is average. No part of his game has a negative. Just like a prime lebron. This is an American born sport. But we gotta start putting respect on these foreign players names. AAU circuit destroyed our advantage we had. Players overseas work on skill. Notice most the Europeans may not be as athletic but rely on their skill. We are outskilled at the game now. That’s where it needs to start. Jokic been the best in the league the last 5-6 years.
He's was bad last year too. At this point, the guy just sucks 4 out of every 5 nights. Then pulls some crazy game and everyone forgets how bad he is most of the time.
Nick Young is a joke tho 😂 he’s a yap artist so idk why people take his opinions too serious. He sounds like the kid that spams “no” at opposing arguments.
The jokic MVP stuff is trash because for the last 5 years you pretended defense doesn't matter and Giannis doesn't exist. Particularly egregious was 23 where the media and ppl like you pretended the BUCKS had the best record in the East only and not in THE ENTIRE LEAGUE while Giannis missed key teammates the entire season. They acted like embiid and Jokic were the only ones in the race and gifted an MVP to a TERRIBLE example of a ball player who didn't even have the best record in his conference.
You have to play 65 games to win MVP. Giannis only played 63 in the 22-23 season. The fact that Jokic and Embiid played more games was the factor. Tell the whole story next time.
@@evandupree6085He's talking about the year Embiid won MVP. Celtics were the best team in the east last season. Embiid would have won MVP last season without that rule, not Giannis or Jokic.
@@allenmk138 yeah, the year Embiid won mvp Giannis only played 63 games. Embiid didn’t win last year because he didn’t play 65 games. Jokic wins mvps because he plays 65 games every single year.
@@evandupree6085 That 65 game rule started last season, which is why it was such a big topic last year. Giannis could have won that year with less than 65 games played.
@@allenmk138no player on Jokic’s team has ever made an all star team, it’s fact not opinion. Also there were other players not there such as Michael Porter JR, Caldwell pope, Bruce Brown. Murray is not an all star caliber player. He’s a 20 and 6 guy that can get very hot. Jokic starting lineup vs GSW was Gordon, Will Barton, Monte Morris and Jeff green😂. He had 3 10-20 minute rotation guys playing 30-40 minutes. If jokic had real help and real star teammates he’d have a lot more than 1 ring.
I mean he’s the definition of an MVP. Any team would be happy to have him. Denver would be close to a lottery team without him. Dude deserves the accolades for sure. If Denver wins another championship, he could be a top 10 all time player.
Russ is the most egregious example that's why. Theres a reason why Russ holds the #1 highest Usage rate season in NBA history, #1 and #5. Not to mention he is not nearly efficient enough to be having the game go through him like that
Gianni’s defense is ridiculous this year his numbers are almost as nuts as Jokic while his defense is way better way fucking better and will never get praise
I'm not sure who you're watching because Giannis' defense has definitely not been "ridiculous" by his standards. This is probably his weakest defensive year since he became a superstar.
@@shepardice3775 Giannis has been great as of late...and he's really carried that team to some recent wins...but his stans always underrate Jokic's defense (and he is a bad rim protector) and overrate Giannis'.

As for MVP, his team is going to have to get to winning record first....even Jokic isn't going to win it if the Nuggets took a turn under .500.
bro your argument makes no sense, "when oscar did it we gave him the mvp when russ did it they gave him mvp so if jokic does it they have to give him mvp" if that was the case russ would be a 4 time mvp
@@tom97009 stat padding arguments in 2024 is so crazy, either every single nba player statpads or none of them do, you cant just pick and chose to suit your argument. I remember when Giannis intentionally shot the ball of the backboard of his teams OWN basket just so he could get a rebound for a triple double, not to mention shit like Wilt averaging 50 points a game one season, you think his team needed that to win? or when Jordan averaged 37 and his team went sub .500 and he got bounced in the first round? Maybe if he passed the ball more instead of hogging it his team woulda won more games. Even yall supposed goats are statpadders
I hope Jokic keeps winning more and more MVPs so it forces bigs to learn how to play their position how it’s supposed to and try to get better like him.
Jokic first mvp should of been Gianni’s the only reason they didn’t give it to giannis is because they didn’t want him to win 3 in a row Gianni’s would of won 3 and Jokic should of had 2 but also embiid year was robbed from Jokic so it should be 3 and 3
If Jokic continues to put up numbers like this, and at the end of the season he does not win another MVP, at the end of his career he should retire with an * asterisks next to his name. * ( Wikipedia might say in the future : Jokic PROLLY ( you see what I did there ?) did not get his fourth MVP award because he was a white dude from Europe.

The only reason you’re saying Jokic is going to be top 15 or 10 is because he’s potentially going to have 4 or 5 mvps. The reason people have a problem with Jokic winning 3 or more MVPs, is because number 1 his narrative changes every year so that he is in the best position to win MVP while he still has only 1 Championship. Also if he ends up being the 6th seed this year he will be the only Player in history to win 2 mvps as the 6th seed or lower. The MVP is losing its Value.
Brodie.. MVP is a regular season award and a chip is a chip.. what you talking about 😂 stop trying to dramatize the game and just enjoy a great player being great 🤦🏾♂️ it’s not supposed to be this deep. It’s ball
I agree with what you said about the narrative changing every year. It does for him especially. He would have won it the Embiid year too but at the literal last couple weeks of the season, voters changed their minds. So for about 4 years straight everything was framed for him to win the award. It should have been either SGA or Luka last year.
If Westbrook averages a triple double and barely winning it’s stat patting but if it’s jokic it’s cause he’s the best?? come on now Low stop with the double standards 😂
Don’t forget they’re 29th in paint defense and he is the worse defensive center to win an mvp. Bro loves one side of the ball he only makes these videos for joker and Luka. Him acknowledging that they robbed other players of mvp because they got “voters fatigued”
Jokic does this on elite efficiency. Russ in his MVP year did it on mediocre efficiency. People don’t call Russ a statpadder just to hate😂. If you’ve watched him, you recognised all the laughable stuff he does to get his stats up.
Jokic is great but MVPs dnt matter, they’re just awards given by empty suit media members. That being said I hope he gets more tittles to make haters mad.
@@Intr0verticalI’m not even that big of Tatum fan but I’m tired of this take. Brown barely sees double teams, is flawed as a playmaker and passer, with a improved handle that is still weak, and he’s been shooting like shit this season and know one says anything but if it was Tatum shooting like shit it would be brought up quicker than the flash showing up at your doorstep. Brown wasn’t great in the finals either.
One thing I hate about the "I'm a former player, so I know better" archetype in media is becoming too funny. There's only a few of these archetypes that aren't arrogant as shit
But Oscar didn't win the MVP when he had his triple double season. That was the same season Wilt averaged 50.4 ppg. Neither one of them got the MVP. that season. It went to Bill Russell.

If the game was more physical like it was in the 90s 2000s it would make things different for a lot of these players cuz they can’t get the same numbers they usually get
Jokic's game translates effortlessly to the 90s: Dominant post game, strong rebounding and more than enough physical toughness to trade shots with the Oakleys, Davises and Masons of the era.
Jokic this season so far : 3rd in scoring, 30 points a game. 1st in rebounds, 14.0 a game, 2nd in assists, 11.5 a game, 1st in 3 point percentage. This is historic.
And doing it with a washed second scoring option. If Murray played like he did last year, Jokic would be averaging 14 assists per game.
But the team is barely in the top 10. I believe that would be called stat padding. No player from not a top 5 team should ever win an mvp.

@@ZZZ-pu4yw Jokic isn't the one who was tasked with guarding the rim. Admittedly, it's not his forte, so he usually just guards the space between the perimeter and the rim, and he's quite good at that. Usually, Aaron Gordon is tasked with guarding the rim, but he's sidelined with an injury right now. Also, Jokic's on/off defense numbers have been #1 or #2 in the league for years, so his defensive impact is undeniable.

Translation - he’s white.
notice how they only complain when a white dude (don't matter the country) win an mvp. Nash, bird (for getting 3 in a row), dirk, and jokic. Those are the only mvps that the players CONSISTENTLY complain about in the open. What a coincidence
What a shocker that the We Wuz Kangs people hate another great ball player cause of his skin color. Yet they continually race bait, play the victim card , and are clearly xenophobic. GIANNIS AND Jokic are the best players in the world. Much better and much more dominate then any player from the states. On god!

There's literally a logical fallacy called appeal to authority that states someone being an expert doesn't make them right. However, their expertise can be used to provide insight and nuance to things that a layperson might not be able to provide. The difference there is that they are relying on the actual contents of the argument to persuade you, not simply saying, "I'm and expert so I'm right".
It gets annoying and typical to even say it but, "imagine if the races were reversed" dot, dot, dot.

Honestly, as a Black dude, I think it’s necessary. It’s literally racism and being xenophobic. We should call out if the races were switched, due to some wouldn’t have a problem with it if this was LeBron or Ant for example.
Jokic is already an all time great, however, having four MVPS would make his already insane career even better. If he deserves the reward he should get it. It shouldn’t matter because this is a whole new season with an almost different roster. His right hand is very inconsistent and him doing this with the other players should have him as the front runner. I’m fairly confident he most if not all of the MVPs have gone to the right person, you could argue Steve Nash’s second one, and maybe the James Harden vs Russel Westbrook one, but other than that, I feel like it went to the right person.
If they end up giving it to someone else due to “voter fatigue”, a new rule needs to be introduced, saying that should be allowed. Give the MVP to the player that deserves it. Also, so many other people shouldn’t even have a vote, Kendrick, Stephen A for example. Tim Legler should have one (if he doesn’t) and I wouldn’t mind some NBA RUclipsrs getting a vote because a lot of them know the game better than the media.
Jamal Murray has really made me appreciate Jokic even more (especially this season) The supposed “2nd star” is too inconsistent to be relied upon and the bench unit still has no backup big. meanwhile jokic drops 30/12/14 like its nothing😒

I've been watching every game of the Nuggets ever since the 2018 season and I've watched the unbelievable stretch of Lebron's dominance from the very beginning; honestly I've never seen a player who is more unselfish and dominant as Jokic. His shot making round the basket, his court vision, the much improved 3 point shooting all these things we all see, are second to none, but the things we overlook in my opinion what makes him so dominant, is his constant screening and involvement even without having the basketball. Another thing that gets overlooked is his defensive awareness. He reads defenses very well, but his rim protection is the only weakness in his game, but that doesn't make someone necessarily a bad defender. Also he never talks down to his teammates and shows great trust even when guys are playing poorly or making critical mistakes. He does sometimes complain a bit too much about refereeing (which I think is logical seeing how physical they allow defenders to be against him, but hey I'm a bit biased perhaps) but that has improved tremendously this season. I never post anything on a media platform normally, just wanted to give my 2 cents in an honest conversation on his greatness.
Bravo
Russ and harden killed themselves to get those triple doubles on teams where they had the GREEN LIGHT to do whatever they wanted. Jokic game is so effortless and he doesn’t try harder than the other two, that is out there is greatness when you take something so difficult and make it look so easy to the point where people get upset at you for it.
I would argue he works just as hard as those guys, its just that the stats come from him not chasing them, rather he works within the system and just does what comes natural to him.

Shit, I think he’s gonna do it. The problem with Jokic is that his style of basketball will automatically generate him crazy stats, so he’s gonna pretty much be in the mvp convo in every season he plays. The issue comes from how you argue against him, because it turns into pettiness, instead of actually analyzing the value his numbers bring (ie. 10 assist from Jokic are worth more than 10 assist from Westbrook, the same way that a Curry 3 is worth more than a Harden 3; it’s about how they do it, that sort of thing.)
I dont watch basketball so I dont understand what you're saying. Why is a 3 from Steph Curry worth more than a 3 from James Harden?
The only time I've seen basketball is the finals every year. So at most 7 games a year.
@@tgs5725 because steph curry makes 3's at a higher percentage meaning, less 3's have to be taken to get the same result. So he means that westbrook has to attempt more passes (therefore worse quality) passes to get as many assists as jokic.

3:45 thats a fact and for the past 6 years or so, the two players that consistently been playing at an MVP level every year are Jokic and Giannis. And they are the two best players in the league. Neither one of them gonna win a chip this year because they have to do to much right now which means they teams are not good enough to win. But the fact that they both putting up video game numbers dang near every night this season and have been doing this for the past 5 or 6 years is crazy (yeah Jokic started putting up his video game numbers later but he is by far the most constant besides Giannis in the league FOR YEARS)

When your debating on Jokic getting an MVP, don’t discredit what Russ has done. That is mad disrespect man.
It’s hard not to compare the two cuz they prolly gonna be the last two players to average a triple double and they play together
Jokić vs Gianni’s at this point for MVP (MAYBE AD) but yeah
Jokic vs Giannis vs AD could be one for the ages. If Jokic keeps this up I don't really think he loses as long as he gets a high seed. I think his numbers will come down a bit which could open up the door for AD and Giannis.
I had Giannis winning it last year up until the Bucks started selling
AD is great but he's not even close to their greatness tbh
They are hating on Jokic because they aren’t personal with him, they don’t hang out with him… because Giannis Jokic came out of nowhere, Luka still came out of seas, the NBA wasn’t ready for this type of era…
There are so many haters in these NBA/WNBA circles and it makes me so sad. It is just wild to me how people can't see how fun the stars of today are to watch. Instead of propping these players up and appreciating what they can do, everyone is instead obsessed with tearing them down because they don't meet this preconceived ideal of what they should be, who they should be, or how the game should be played. It's basketball, it is a kid's game, have fun and enjoy the game.

* ( Wikipedia might say in the future : Jokic PROLLY ( you see what I did there ?) did not get his fourth MVP award because he was a white dude from Europe.
the fact jokic dont even care about basketball is what makes this wild
He obviously cares
I wouldnt say he does care moreso that he doesnt let it fully dictate his life
if anthony edwards has a hobby of acting and goes back to atlanta every fucking week to fuck hoes, he growing his image and is a georgia boy
if scottie barnes has a hobby of streaming and goes back to the us every other week, he growing his image and is a true american patriot
if stephen curry has a hobby of golfing, hes just competitive and addicted to winning
but god forbid if jokic has a competitive hobby of racing horses and prefers to be in his HOME COUNTRY better than COLORADO
If he didn’t care I doubt he would have gotten so animated at that ref last night js
The fact this stupid take is still a thing is wild
Yes, media can ingore him as long as it like, but brother... Jokic is inevitable
The only reason you’re saying Jokic is going to be top 15 or 10 is because he’s potentially going to have 4 or 5 mvps. The reason people have a problem with Jokic winning 3 or more MVPs, is because number 1 his narrative changes every year so that he is in the best position to win MVP while he still has only 1 Championship. Also if he ends up being the 6th seed this year he will be the only Player in history to win 2 mvps as the 6th seed or lower. The MVP is losing its Value.
Low doesn’t even care abt accolades when ranking players 😂
@ He was speaking as if it was going to be fact or popular opinion not just his own.
what does his championship count has to do with his MVPs? you just talking narratives rn
Brodie.. MVP is a regular season award and a chip is a chip.. what you talking about 😂 stop trying to dramatize the game and just enjoy a great player being great 🤦🏾♂️ it’s not supposed to be this deep. It’s ball
I agree with what you said about the narrative changing every year. It does for him especially. He would have won it the Embiid year too but at the literal last couple weeks of the season, voters changed their minds. So for about 4 years straight everything was framed for him to win the award. It should have been either SGA or Luka last year.
What’s funny is jokic spends his offseason with horses, but puts it on ur best team during the nba season is crazy work
If Westbrook averages a triple double and barely winning it’s stat patting but if it’s jokic it’s cause he’s the best?? come on now Low stop with the double standards 😂
Don’t forget they’re 29th in paint defense and he is the worse defensive center to win an mvp.
Bro loves one side of the ball he only makes these videos for joker and Luka.
Him acknowledging that they robbed other players of mvp because they got “voters fatigued”
Jokic does it on .565 from the field and .585 from 3. Just going to casually ignore that as if Russ has ever been efficient in his career.
Russ fanboys are elite at ignoring efficiency stats
Jokic does this on elite efficiency. Russ in his MVP year did it on mediocre efficiency. People don’t call Russ a statpadder just to hate😂. If you’ve watched him, you recognised all the laughable stuff he does to get his stats up.
Jokic is great but MVPs dnt matter, they’re just awards given by empty suit media members. That being said I hope he gets more tittles to make haters mad.
I just want Tatum to win an mvp bro. And also hate jokic fans
Tatum is a Robin
@jonLowryTrade 2024 and people still unironically believe this lmao
@@Intr0verticalI’m not even that big of Tatum fan but I’m tired of this take. Brown barely sees double teams, is flawed as a playmaker and passer, with a improved handle that is still weak, and he’s been shooting like shit this season and know one says anything but if it was Tatum shooting like shit it would be brought up quicker than the flash showing up at your doorstep. Brown wasn’t great in the finals either.
Not gonna happen cry more
@@mathewalvarez8087 he's the championship fav lol who cares better hardware
Damn your videos are good…. Subscribed!!!
Its weird ppl blame lebron for his team not playing well with him off court but Joker gets praised for it
What a lie... LeExcuse never run out for him...
Really?… if you listen to LeBron haters, they usually try to argue that the team is worse with him. (Old lakers LeBron)
love your videos bro!!
One thing I hate about the "I'm a former player, so I know better" archetype in media is becoming too funny. There's only a few of these archetypes that aren't arrogant as shit
Just found the Channel... Glad your unbiased... Earned a sub. Godbless...
The point about measuring how good a player is based on how close they relatively were to MVP per year is a fantastic point
But Oscar didn't win the MVP when he had his triple double season.
That was the same season Wilt averaged 50.4 ppg.
Neither one of them got the MVP. that season. It went to Bill Russell.
I will never forget Nick Young saying he hated the Warriors cause they passed the ball
I’m a Sixers fan but omg. Joker is so good at basketball. He deserves every MVP he’s gonna get
After all AD injuries he finally showing up I hope my dawg can get him one
Let`s keep it real , it`s not about Jokic being foreign.
Why does the camera keep randomly zooming in and out?
Seriously thank you for spittin facts and not giving a f what weak dudes think. Accept reality. It is what it is. The dude is nice. Like really, something different.
I'm feeling the same way I think it was one of the coaches said once he learned English he's going to be hell to pay I mean that's all he needs is to learn English because he's playing his passing his 3-point from any side of the Court that's my thing any side of the Court he can make it another thing this is just unbelievable what I have seen and I see if the administrative don't give him the MVP only way I see him not winning it if he gets injured if he get hurt and have to spend their extensive amount of time off the court other than that this young man is putting out and putting up stuff I have never seen and I'm in my 60s well in my 60s and this young man is doing some of that Wilt Chamberlain stuff Larry Birds stuff even throw in some Tim Duncan and some what's his name Magic Johnson I mean this young man here is just dominating the NBA and for them to say that he don't deserve cuz I can't give it to him y'all going to have a lot of fans upset if y'all if this man doesn't take it all the way and they win championship this year I'm being honest y'all going to lose a lot of damn fans cuz it's infected heat on it not he deserve it he earned it
If the game was more physical like it was in the 90s 2000s it would make things different for a lot of these players cuz they can’t get the same numbers they usually get
Jokic's game translates effortlessly to the 90s: Dominant post game, strong rebounding and more than enough physical toughness to trade shots with the Oakleys, Davises and Masons of the era.
