Not only is Jokic the best player in the league and insanely fun to watch, as somebody whose pet peeves are big egos and showing off, he's a breath of fresh air in a league full of attention seeking stars. I pretty much hate 95% of NBA stars because of this, and the day Jokic retires is probably the day I stop following the NBA.
Genuine basketball. Or melo solo ball😂
The Joker is one of the best basketball minds to ever play the sport. 🃏💯 Congratulations, champ and to the Denver Nuggets for winning their first title in franchise history. 🏆
Embiid's MVP will always be remembered as the MVP stolen from Jokic because of one certain Kendrick stupid Perkins
That dumb ass really brought up racism 💀
No lies detected
Yeagg they disrespected jokic when he fell off in the playoff while he miss all of his backup starter and win mvp. While curry and lebron miss playoff cuz ad hurt thompson hurt? Is that excuses? Bruh bring gleauge to the playoff expect him go deep? And when warriors win championsip they gave them all the credit while nuggets still get disteapected. HAHAHA BRUH REALLY?
Nikola Jokic is beloved in Serbia and Denver. I’m happier the Nuggets became first time NBA champions as he average a triple double in the playoffs with points, rebounds and assists. We watched his whole family came to Denver just to watch him play.
Nikola Jovic is Miami Heat player
Yeah, we all wish he success with the Denver Nuggets and I think the people love him there. If he was to ever play for the Miami Heat, he gonna be the same player that he was before he got there.
@@blakebrown84 Nikola JoVić is Miami Heat player, Nikola JoKić is Denver Nuggets player, 2x MVP, NBA champ. Google Nikola JoVić
I must misspelled his last name. It’s really Jokic.
I love this lad so much. Beautiful beautiful game, I couldn't care less if he's not explosive or athletic or can't jump 6 inches. Every sport has a few chosen ones who the sport slows down for - and basketball slows down for him. It is surreal to behold.
The only complaint I have is that he didn't win regular season MVP. Last season would have been a perfect season if he had, but hey Embid whined his way to the MVP, and whined his way out of the playoffs.
The best big man in the national basketball association
no doubt.
Best player in the world
Best of any size
Jokic is the epitome of what your coaches were telling you growing up about the game being “90% mental.”
I mean he’s also 7 feet tall with ludicrous hand-eye.
@@claydouglas2526being 7ft and a good hand eye won't cut it in this league
@@claydouglas2526 being 7ft is nothing special in the NBA. There are tons of 7 footers out there who aren't even good enough to get into a G-League team.
@@suzunome47 it’s more than special in the context of the original comment - “what your coaches were telling you growing up”
@@claydouglas2526don’t forget insanely soft hands and all time brilliant touch. Jokic is athletic, he’s just not the big traditional athleticisms. (Aka hops, lateral quickness, etc.)
I wonder how many star athletes envy Jokic for being a face of the league but still being lowkey enough that he can just do normal everyday stuff without being mobbed on the street or needing security.
Probably not many. Most star athletes are divas and attention seekers so they likely enjoy being mobbed, it feeds their egos
This was really well done, love Jokic’s story.
At least the Jokic vs Embiid debate is over and if Embiid did not cry to the media then Jokic would have been a 3 time MVP.
This series gets me hyped cause of the intro music alone
Thanks for posting this about the Joker 🃏- Go Nuggets 😄👍🏀🏆
Nikola Jokic & Denver Nuggets start DYNASTY NOW 💪🔥💪
The best player in the world ❤️
Be like Water 💧 be A 🏆 Joker MVP 🃏 Proved every buddy wrong about Him
Imagine the best player in the world getting selected last in the all-star draft?
This is the best video on Jokic I've seen to date. Great work!
This what happen when you take your job seriously, some of the guys think their rockstars or superstars just because they make it in the nba.
Great vid! Def one of my fav players in the nba
People will always hate on Jokic cause of his alleged glaring lack of "atheletcism" and "defense"
Of course they'll do, cause if they admit Jokic's anomalous existence, it'll impliedly make them say players who have less to no defense and athleticism can thrive in sports.
This somehow begs the argument tho. While Jokic's physical attributes may not live up to their standards, he has, by his own right, been in peak shape and less of a defensive liability he projectedly is supposed to be.
For if jokic really was unathletic, he couldn't have capped off playing the almost whole 48mins of every game, he couldn't even last overtime, or suit up for most of the season's games. More so, he shouldn't be able to post-up the way he does against "athletic" players..
Despite his "non-chiselled" "fat" physique, he has taken best care of his health in the 8 seasons he's been in the league, and might still even not reached his peak.
Despite his lack of explosiveness, he has been able to hold his ground in defense - exploiting the supposed schemes to expose him being a liability.
Won't forget that analysts were laughing the Suns just gonna pick and roll switch spam against joker, or that Gobert/Ayton/AD just gonna bulldoze their way against him...
If anything, jokic be the one most aware of his flaws and weaknesses, that he is able to turn these exploits to his advantage and ultimately for the team's benefit. This may show, and prove, how crazy Jokic as a superstar player is.
Still, if you stay hate jokic. You're free to express so. Consequently, hope we also be given the right to express respecting and admiring Jokic the player he is and the impact he has given to the game.

Great narrative btw. TheScore has handled the story most if not all, can appreciate 😊
Great content, Joker is every coach's dream player, worthy if better than Sabonis
It’s about damn time he had a video like this made of him.
Best Taco Bell draft pick ever.
As a Lakers fan, this year's playoffs made me respect Jokic so much more. I was in awe watching this man play plus, it hits different when he's doing it against your team lmao 🤣. BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD 💯
Love this one! Jokic is great. Thank you theScore, please never stop making these videos!
Great video. Nicely done
👍👍👍👍👍thumbs up
Dude is a real life anime protagonist.
-He was gassed and fell short playing against the Blazers during the 2018 semis so he worked hard to get fit, improving his stamina and conditioning.
-He was outmuscled by two centers in McGee and Dwight Howard during the 2019 West Confenrece finals against the Lakers so he becomes more assertive and aggressive in the paint the following seasons.
Nikola Jokic ❤❤❤
Kristaps Porzingis your next video theScore 💪💪💪
goat stuff
Everyone Loves Nikola Jokic
No, no, I need to go home 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice.
Jokic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2:52 man watching his old highlights he was always a great teammate
Nikola Jokic Is The Best Player Ever
Jokic > KG
They diffrent🇷🇸❤️
You should do The Story Behind Joel Embid after ! 💯
We don't do losers in this channel sorry,
I played basketball in Yugoslavia while in the US Navy. 6'11" is the average height there.
Taco bell should name the product after Jok
That tacoo bell comercial is what west done to Serbia many many times just in diffrent shapes.
Sweep the Lakeshow😂
Probably will not see the play which Joker handled the ball outside the court to opponent(7:30) as a high light anymore,because it was a referee mistake! It should not rule a Denver ball,unless opponents has any part of his body was inside the court.
And he's a quarterback needed by the Denver Bronchos to win superbowl. Hehehe
I really thought that Nurkic would have been the better player 😂😂😂. I thought that Jokic could only become a specialist who is a liability in the playoffs 😂😂😂
His name is Jokic
Yok itch
You saying it like Jo vic
For him, basketball is just so basic.
8:22 "Damian Lillard Blazers". You gottat excuse me but... CJ hard carried those Blazers into the win. Him and Evan Turner. Dame was atrocious that whole series
9:24 extremely rare footage of Embitch playing at DEN. The last time he ever visited the Nuggets. Since them he only play games at PHI.
Jokic can retire tomorrow and he's a 1st ballot HoF easy
Sad that the NBA could not let a white man win the MVP three times back to back to back. He is arguably the GOAT at his position!! I have him number 1
First
Congrats
@@NikolaJokerMVP15 thanks
@@martinvanlalhlimpuia thank you. It was an honor.
Jokic got hated on for his playoffs without porter and Jamal BUT Embiid gets passes and I wonder why
White players have to go thru stuff blck plueda dont
Embiid trash jokic In playoffs even tho before he won a mvp jokic had more playoff success then Embiid
Lost all respect for Embiid after he talked smacked and then sat out the game right after
He a coward
all these stats but the mvp is still embiid.
Cool. He still can't get out of the 2nd Round tho.
@@TheMarslMcFly 😂
Pity mvp, biggest playoff dropper of all time.
What a troll
All these mvp voters but the NBA Champ and Finals MVP is still Jokic
The peoples MVP
Mega is not by any standard a powerhouse
More competitive than wemby's french league🫣
@@rkabcdefg thats not in question here
The greatest Hungarian player of all time!
TALK DOWN ON NUGGETS FOR YEARS.....BACK TO BACK MVP STILL TALK DOWN.. WHY TALK UP NUGGETS NOW. .HYPOCRITE
I'm surprised Taco Bell hasn't reached Jokic for an advertisement deal with him after winning the championship.
