The Nuggets starting five are like the NBA's rejects. The Lakers let KCP go. Magic let Gordon go plus he got robbed in that dunk contest. MPJ was supposed to be a #1 pick but dropped to 14th after Clippers doctors said he would never play and several teams passed on him. Murray is a beast in clutch time and of course, in the playoffs but may never be an All-Star. And then there's the Joker. The super second-round pick was criticized and scrutinized, judged harshly by people that never even seen him play a full game until he won it all, and then everyone finally saw what Nuggets fans have known for years. They each won individually in the lower levels of basketball, but to win in the NBA they must join together to form the unstoppable robotic juggernaut force known as... Nuggetron! Joker is the head. Murray and MPJ are the arms. KCP and Gordon are the legs
Thats a great way to put it.
Seen this somewhere
Be honest bro how long you had this in the vault lol.
But the other 3 are drafted in Denver. How can they be rejects?
Dont foget the joker and taco bell need to have a sponsorship!
The craziest thing of all? Dude gets no whistles, the NBA wants him to fail and it's still not enough, he dominates anyway.
Big facts!
Imagine if he got the all the pissy calls that Embiid gets every game
Yes, I can't believe he didn't get enough free throw opportunities.
He would if he would flop like James or just about everyone but Joker never flops.
Refs have been hateful towards Eastern European players since they first came into the game around 89-90
Jokic's most devastating power is always making the right decision. Even when you watch in slow-mo you just can't find a better plan than the one he chose.
Exactly! If you put 20 experts, none of them would say the Joker did not make the right play.
I think that the way he realises that the play has changed before anyone else and gets back is the key to him being able to keep playing so hard, sometimes he doesn't even cross halfcourt
He's also doing subtle things to influence what is happening around him. A true maestro.
@@oberynredviper7828 RIght. He doesn't just have the quickest perception and most reliable decision making. He's also great at throwing off opponents perceptions. It's not just the no-look passes. His fakery is next level in general. Both in offense and defense he does constant "micro fakery" that plays into the opponents expectations.
The fact that Joker is figuring things in split-seconds and executing perfectly, while it takes slow-mos for us peasents to just grasp what happened and how on earth did he see that.
Mamba mentality
The greatest quarterback doesn’t play in the NFL but the NBA.
Brady IQ so disrespected
No disrespect to Magic Johnson, but Jokic is the best passer of all time..
I can see that. Because he's much taller than Magic, he can see over the defense allot better. But Magic is still one of the greatest and exciting passers.
@@MarkDarnellmagic was never goat past. Rogers Pete Bird Nash all better. Stock and Paul too. Maybe even rondo
@@rockysalvatore435 Can you READ. I said one of the all-time greats I never said he was the best. And no, Rondo was not a better passer than Magic. You might wanna crack the top ten before you just put names out there.
Not yet. Maybe after he finishes his career
Y'all tripping. Jason Williams takes that crown 11/10 times. Come on now.
Joker is getting better and better in defence every season .
And he's already great on defense
It really bugs me when people say he isn’t athletic. You can’t be that good without being extremely athletic.
They mean compared to his contemporary, but yeah you right, you can't be in the NBA if you're not athletic period
Don't let it bug you. Just enjoy the fact that he's still somehow under the radar. It works in his favor big time
@@tsvina No they only judge 2 things as athletic. Joker has the best hands in the league. He has the best footwork. Great balance.
Great vision and anticipation. He does not jump high. Big deal. He is also extremely strong. Remember Morris? .
People don’t know the true definition of “athletic” no normal person can do what jokic does or even any nba star
People always try to compare him contemporaneously to Greek or Embiid, in terms of athleticism. Obviously Jok is not the same. But he has other facets of athleticism that make him elite.
Nuggets fan here. We are not worthy of Nikola Jokic. Im just trying to be grateful I get to witness his greatness.
Same. I keep telling people to appreciate this man while we have him, because he is Denver's Michael Jordan. We'll never see another type of player in this franchise. Ever. (unless Luka signs some day...😆)
@@RS-ol8orI really wish to see Joker and Luka on the same team man, their chemistry would a million percent be on point, but it seems they're both the same mentality, stay loyal to the team that drafted you
@@mort996 well…Jok was asked and yeah, he said he loves Denver & wouldn’t leave….but I just saw the clip today when someone asked Luka if he’d ever want to play with Jok and he smiled and said “never say never”.
Let’s see what happens when Luka’s contract is expires in 2 yrs.
Fuck you dude, we love Jokic and he loves Denver.
calm down hes not a god
That trio of Jokic, Murray, and Gordon is tough to guard. You have to stop Murray on the perimeter and then put some bodies down on Jokic which always ends up with a baseline alley pop dunk to Aaron Gordon.
Imagine adding Bogdan Bogdanović to this trio. He would fit current Nuggets perfectly in every aspect.
@@acanskimyeah bogdan will fit bruce brown role perfectly
Draymond fouled the hell out of him on that first layup too and of course there was no call… because he’s not Joel “McFloppenstein” Embiid
Glad others see what a fouling merchant Dray is. If Jokic "defended" the same way he'd be fouled out by the 2nd quarter.
Mate we’ve known for years. The day he kicked my boy Adams in the nuts I knew what he was all about
@RS-ol8or there are some players in the NBA the league and media deem "good, physical defenders", and if you get that tag you're allowed to foul people when everyone else cant.
@@RS-ol8oryeah this why gs overrated. They never were that good. They just played illegal d and o. They sold tickets globally tho just like chiefs
@@daddyfuse50any of curry teammates on o get to illegal screen
Many unjust things from refs to Jokic, many fouls non called on him, like he isn't NBA superstar...
Happens to LeBron and curry recently only 6 fta per game for those guys like Jokic. It’s happening not only to jokic but
@@dewman7477 mate did u seriously say lebron. Cury maybe but lebron hell no. Their leadingthe nba in free throws three years in a row
@@dutchGZ LeBron himself averaging 6 free throw attempts a game and lives near the paint area lol 😂 so to say he gets calls is a lie. Maybe his team as a whole gets calls but not LeBron considering his physical play
@@dewman7477cause he sucks so they give the 25 other free throws to AD, Rui and Reaves
I've seen jokic walk out of games looking like he faught a grizzly bear and only getting 3 whistles
Jokic is the prime example of being so good and such a great team player that you can elevate players to higher levels
I literally couldn’t care less what topic you’re making a video on, I see you upload and I’m watching immediately, keep up the good work bro
I really appreciate that a lot man, I'll definitely try to keep upping the quality the best I can. Thank you bro
Me too.😊
I’ve been to two Nuggets games now (I live fairly close to Denver) and not only was Jokić playing both games, which can’t be said for most other stars, he consistently was trying to win. He always plays to win, and that’s remarkable I think because of how many players nowadays just coast or let the loss come to them. He’s my favorite player of all time, and it’s crazy because now whenever he has an “off” night, I expect more from him even though it’s still a solid stat line for almost everyone else in the league. I’m glad to see more people are realizing how solid his defense is, and he is 100% a deterrent in the paint. He doesn’t go for crazy blocks, but he has insanely quick hands and it seems like players now instinctively back down from making some weird moves or passes around the rim now because he’s there and able to read the play.
i know his family from Sombor. they was humble and great people like always
Hes not slow! He is mythological..... huge difference. Minimal speed, intelligent. Every move has a purpose.
He is proving everyone that it's not about speed, but timing. Same with Luka as well.
methodical?
@@loganbradley1184hahahahaha ...I think so
The word you are looking for is methodical but yeah he's pretty mythological as well. It's all good though man sometimes I use big words to make myself sound more photosynthesis as well.
Funnily enough... mythological seems to be the right word.
i pray he is able to continue. healthy and happy. we are witnessing true greatness in their prime. jokic is MJ level talent WITH that dawg in him. just look at jokics reactions to game winning passes. even if he dosnt make the assist. he is ALL IN every single game. he 100% understands legacy. and the best part. he is able to seperate himself from basketball completely and refresh whenever he needs to. just dont mistake his love for horses as a lack of passion. he clearly studies film as much as anybody in the history of the game. his on court IQ is off the charts. IMO, smartest player to EVER play.
Draymond called out Jokic's defense on national TV and ever since then Nikola has improved immensely on defense.
If he can play like this for the next 4-5 seasons and they win 2-3 more championships he will be in a GOAT conversation
this team will win at least 3 and they have the young core to develop into a very dominant team for the next 5 years
Joker also doesn't rely on physical athleticism as much as good decision making, precise passing, and shooting. Those are skills you can use well into your 30's so he's going to be a top player for 10 more years. Even a bad injury won't wreck his game because it's not based on one or two superhuman physical abilities, just peak fundamentals.
@@BR-re7oz I agree but I don’t see him playing past 35-36 I think he will retire around that age
GOAT conversation is overrated imho. I would be perfectly satisfied for him to be best player of this generation.
@@SasaM26 and probably not because he's not elite anymore, but because he'd rather go horserace.
don't mess with the horse whisperer
As a Serbian, I (somewhat strangely) really appreciate and give kudos to people who actually know how to pronounce his name.
It is a strange pet peeve of mine, and it's not like it's a huge deal, but I've been listening to people from the media for years now constantly mispronouncing the Nik*O*la part and it's driving me crazy.
Firstly, to a Serb, it just sounds kind of weird and wrong phonetically, but more importantly - I'm upset due to the fact that these people couldn't learn (or change) the way they pronounce his name, and the guy is literally an animal and, hands down - a basketball god. Like, that's the least you can do. One could even argue it's slightly disrespectful.
Anyway, long-time sub here, I love you content, keep it up!
Regards from Serbia
Best player I’ve ever seen
that playoff stat line from jokic is insane
He is the guy at the gym who looks like he never even seen a basketball and gets picked last and then he just goes in and dominates everyone
Bro if there are any 7 footers at my gym they sure as shit getting picked first hahaha.
I get exactly what you mean though, his demeanour doesn’t make you think he’s the best player in the world
@izzy031096 lol someone gets what I'm spitting lol
in last year's all star "game" he WAS picked last by the team "captains"!!!
He's 7 feet 285 pounds, no one with a working braincell is picking that man last for anything basketball
Unstoppable force. Future 3rd MVP and 2nd FMVP...
Jokic is top 10 best players of all time right now
People are underestimating how strong he is. I think he's top 3 or 4 strongest players in the league.
Ig not the strongest, i saw how he bounced Stiven Adams to the basket ...and we all know how strong adams is
Nah, he's definitely top 2 at least
true NBA fans know Joker is no joke. Its the utter disrespect that he gets from the media, which is baffling.
I would state some facts but if I do I’ll just be called a racist. 🫤
racism..not baffling
the all star game break was really needed to recover some energies. a rested Joker is a deadly Joker
Being a warriors and Losing to jokic and the nuggets after being up by 16 and lose by 16 hurts but jokic is just him, he's overpowered
A huge reason for jokers endurance is his efficiency, it seems like every movement he does is with intent, not to be flashy, just to get where he needs to go and do what needs to be done.
Said at the beginning of the season they will go on to 3peat and I will stand by that.
And the best about Nicola is one thing, he doesn’t give a s…t about fame and being in the center of any attention, he loves his game, he loves his teammates and most of all he knows what is true value in his life. NBA is transition to his financial freedom.
And thanks for your hard work, it took lots of work to edit so much material, keep on and thanks again.
6Man, keep doing what you are doing dude. Subscribed in the summer during the playoffs and I've been watching your vids ever since then. I really think that next year you will have double the subscribers. Stay safe, lots of respect from Serbia 🤟
Jokic is able to just use his talents to the absolute max. Not a lot of players can do that.
Only LeBron I can think of
Yes LeBron is great at flopping. Credit his max ability to flop . Wade was better example of using his skills to the max than LeBron. Kawhi, luka, bird, and even Russell Westbrook(was) are better than LeBron at maxing their abilities. LeBron has always just been a better athlete than almost everyone.
@@dewman7477 go away black boy
Great editing...good enough to make believers out of doubters.
espn people should go to jail for ignoring him
ESPN are run by BLM… what do you expect
they don't like & disrespect to Euro players .
Jokic strong endurance is because he uses horse power and has many reserves back in his hometown
He simply is that good.. PUT IT IN ANY CONTEXT YOU WANT.. He is good
I'm truly sick of hearing the "zero defense" and "unathletic" narratives, obviously coming from people who don't actually watch the game. He's fitter than most of the people who label him that. Beast on Joker 🤙🏿
He is more fitter than 99,9% of human race.
Thats professional athlete under supermax contract 😂
watched this high and now i’m picturing jokic reading passing lanes on defense. i think he is good on defense because of his ability to visualize plays on offense. he thinks so fast
I think Minnesota this year really could give the Nuggets trouble. That starting five is perfectly designed to beat Denver in a 7 game series. Of course they play each other three more times before the playoffs but I’m fascinated by that matchup now that Minnesota is healthy and has chemistry.
I agree. Minesota will be the toughest challenge for Denver.
Love the videos bro! Big fan
Appreciate it man!!
I don't know if this is your first sponsor, but congratulations man, you've earned it.
If you ever want to come to Colorado,I can host you. Let's go to a nuggets game .
When it’s all said and done, he’ll be the best to ever do it
The games when he decide he don’t need points
Do you run the 7man channel?
What he cant do?
6man bringing the heat
as a boston fan, its terrifying to face dnvr. i dont want them to repeat and its still diff to find their weakness on offense
jokic is a throwback to the 80s/90s. and with the way the league is, its hard for any player to truly stop him. and with the nuggets being the killers they turned into, we could potentially be looking at a modern dynasty on our hands.
But also basketball ball in his hand stays shorter time than other players. For example Luka Doncic time with ball contact is double.
it just like watching old retired magic/nash/kidd playing with random kids
they may the slowest among them, but their vision gets better than their games against nba player because they can see everything from the top of everyone's head
Jokic would be an amazing nfl quarterback.
Never been anyone this big with this much skill.
He’s absolutely insane. I live in Englewood CO. He’s in my Mount Rushmore of Colorado athletes.
Nikola Jokic for Nuggets
Joe Sakic for the Avalanche
John Elway and Peyton Manning for the Broncos
The entire Nuggets team, not just Jokic is sensational. So fun to watch.
He's the 6'11" Larry Bird that loves his horses more than trash talk
These fools that say he's not athletic have no idea what they're watching. Joker is 7 foot John Stockton ❤
It can be solved if they bring back handchecking and no 3 second rule in the paint. Everyone is so open thats why its easy to pass and read a play.
The talent gap between American and European players is starting to become evident. They play with more strict rules overseas and it shows just how easy they have their way in the NBA.
Comparing Embiid or Giannis passing to Jokic is wild. Whoever tweeted that should stop watching basketball and go do something else. Great video man, you really nailed it, and the level of detail of explaining the wizardry of Jokic is heard and acknowledged.
EDIT: Imagine if Deandre Jordan was to play some minutes with Jokic and 3 shooters. That would be fun.
Magic still the best passer. But I will put Jokic 2nd. Never thought I would be putting a center in the best passer list. Bill Walton would be there if he wasn't injured all the time.
One correction, Steven Adams can throw full court like Jokic.
Adams does it regularly and holds the NBA record for the longest assist.
But when he plays against Jokic, he doesn't know where the ball is. Did you notice that? And he didn't know that Jokic's name was Nikola, the interview was from almost 2 years ago. Did you watch that too?
Jokers and the nuggets are gonna win back to back championships and there's nothing any team can do about it.
3:53 yes we have NEVER EVER seen any player doing such things. Not even Bird, not even Magic, not even MJ
Djdnt expect thr video to end like that
0:55 This is traveling, i.e., 3 steps after gathering, right?
Yep
Love this truth!!! 💪🥳
There's something about Jokic that reminds me of Tim Duncan. He's much better on O and not as good on D, and not as athletic, but he's got that grace and skill and economy of movement. And his look of sort of detachment.
on point
A little fat is actually good over a 82 game season. Makes sure you never run out of energy.
His craziest pass to me is that 3/4 court lob to AG on a dime
Jokic reminds us that basketball IQ is the best skill in offense and defense. When the game slows down, it really boils down to two questions: 1. do you have a solution for them? 2. do they have a solution for you? This is where Jokic shows his real quality.
He's like a dodge caravan with a 3000hp 2jz in it!!!!!!!!
Jokic is like Lemillion from My Hero Academia his weaknesses became his strengths
4:35 was that an alley-oop from an inbound pass from half court? I wonder who holds the record for most assists from an inbound pass? Is that even tracked at all?
Incredible Joker! 🃏
In that best playoff records since 1985 chart, where are the 2001 Lakers? They went 15-1 that year, swept everyone and then lost game 1 of the finals to Philadelphia before winning 4 straight.
Looks like you sorted it by games played instead of by win %. That's not technically then a list of the best playoff records (in order), in fact the more games you play in the playoffs the less good your record will tend to be. Click the W% column it will rank the list by win-loss percentage and give you a more accurate ranking of best playoff records.
Just look at the Warriors' bench reaction!
Jokić has intelligence. Just like Bird. Phenomenal passer, playmaker, scorer, and all around leader. His other big plus is the clutch. No one better currently playing...
I been telling everyone everywhere that after allstar this team will start getting prepered for another CHIP..... dont get me wrong, they will probabbly have 1 or 2 more blowout losses just to bring in youngsters in rhythm and see who is ready and whos not for playoffs.... everyone says they dont have dept and maybe on papper but they all forget that in playoffs everyone in that squad elevates to another level, and last year was same story and they went for ez run working one for another at harmony.... also there is no adjust for nuggets with jokic on the floor, there is only 1 option "pick a poison".... as always brotha well said and put together!!!
Jokara brat!!!
MVP!!!
3:14 What’s even crazy is that the Nuggets aren’t even a superteam. Yet they managed to get the best playoff record.
His defense has been so underrated because people always think block is the only way to defend. Jokic disrupts offense by clean taps.
His defensive plays against the Warriors were very Draymond like. He guarded multiple guys in the same action. He baited people into doing what he wanted them to do. Kind of incredible to watch.
First 3 clips, 3 uncalled fouls 🤣🤣🤣 Jokic traveled on the first one though
he travelled for sure. ez to see . but he also got fouled and it was really obvious. judges are so bad in the last years. or they get paid to call fouls for certain players/teams
Every Nuggets fan or basketball fan.should watch this video. Great job!
I have been watching BB since the late 70's.
I have never seen anything like Nicola Jokic.
He is an all time great, just hitting his prime.
I can compare Jokic to somebody and that's Stockton. Yes, yes i get it Stockton isn't a big man but hear me out dude was hard to play at and everyone acknowledged it like how do you even defend someone who has alot of ways to score? Jokic is like if you make Stockton taller like dude his passing phenomenal and that reach like bruhhhh and since he's big how do you even stop that? It's not a perfect comparison but that's the best one i can think of for now since the dude is like a whole new breed of CAPTAIN.
The only reason that the gods of baseball gave a 7inch vertical to Jokic is to give the “illusion” of hope to the rest of the players. 😂😂😂
Jokic definitely a ref fav. Extra steps allowed.
Will anyone out there sign a petition for
ESPN to fire
sas (steven a _ _ le smith) and
KP ( kendrick ate to much perkins) and nick wright (nick dudley do wrong).
Nuggets fans wont forget their hate remarks and racist comments about how bad Jokic and Denver were gonna be in last years playoffs.
All Jokic and Denver did was rip through everyone
And for the icing on the cake they swept Labron and the Lakers to win the Finals and Jokic Finals MVP !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jokic doesn't force plays, he is just efficient, not flashy. Even his flashy passes have a reason. He doesn't dunk, even though he can do it easily, he doesn't run faster than he needs. He's just efficient.
NBA players have a lot to learn from him
People should enjoy watching the greatest player at the moment.
The scary thing is, that I believe Jokic still has room to grow. Like, most of the time I think he's playing on ECO mode.
On spot 😊
I stopped watching basketball a long time ago... even before MJ came back... I only recently watch highlights again because of Jokic. He is just too awesome :) ... his mind is just all over basketball, imagine if he ever becomes a coach after playing, he is already the best player/coach out there
The 2020s so far as an era has been the most competitive I seen in my experience watching basketball no team has yet to win twice or even go to back to back finals. I mean heat got two finals appearances in this decade if that counts towards anything.
About the 16-4 comment: only 4 losses is already impressive but the more impressive part is that there was no point during the whole playoffs that they made us think there is a chance for the opponent team. It's not about just winning. Denver also destroyed their opponents' belief in themselves.
Hes the best player to ever play basketball. He is connective, can shoot, makes the right choices, cant be stopped 1 on 1. Hes only neutral on defence is his only real flaw. However his ability to turn defensive boards into instant perfect offence (a dunk) is insane. I would rater have him than curry, Jordan or Lebron. Thats what being the best means. This is all opinion of course.
Many of the things he does he makes it look so easy you think well why doesn't everyone do it. He just plays at a different level
Jokic was in the top 10 of distance covered last playoffs. In the top 10 were 8 guards, one forward and Jokic. That should shut up everyone who talks about Jokic being unathletic.
He's so much better than everybody else that it's hilarious.
