"Have you ever seen a player get a reluctant 41 points?"
That really is the perfect way to describe Jokic.
*53 points
Feels like me when I am playing/coaching a kids team and trying to get them to play good basketball. I am constantly looking to pass to an open player, the kids start to figure it out and stop guarding me so I just take the easy basket to force them back to playing good D. Somehow Jokic is doing this against one of the playoffs most hard working defensive teams.
Lillard lol
If he were selfish, I really think he could average 40 ppg, but that would not be best for the team.
@@teholdsedare no lillard has to work for it, jokic just straight
up does it
This man was stolen of a 3 time MVP and is letting the entire league know of their mistake. We are truly witnessing greatness 😢
Yeah no shot anyone could tell me this dude is not the best player in the league rn
It's amazing how great players react differently to the same thing. Jordan would have taken it personally and destroyed everyone to prove a point. Jokic seems unbothered by it with a "been there done that" attitude and is focused on the real prize.
And you can't even say anything about his defense. Cuz he's actually locking down the paint pretty damn good and his steals have been good too
@@rishirajbose2444 maybe he was bothered and not just showing it, and now his proving his point and destroying the competition.
@@rishirajbose2444 he was bothered by the stat padding comments but he has enough class to not make a big deal about it. That’s why Michael Malone did it for him.
Jokic with 55.7 offensive points generated in a single playoff run EVER is heads and shoulders above anyone else. Utterly amazing!
I wonder where Embid would rank on the last table
@@povilaschor5440 under the table, i guess…
@@povilaschor5440DNP - Conference Finals
I remember seing the Croatian team of Vlade Divac vs the All Star Dream Tam of team USA 1996 in atlanta...
Is jokic a young croatiaN WHO WAS A FAN OF Divac ??? And now is among the elite of NBA playoffs history ?????
@@WithScienceAsMySheperd your bait is weak, ad some traktors
I´ve had always heard that Jokic is a boring player and stuff, and when I first saw his game at Game 1 Finals, I was just blown away about how people nowadays view basketball. I thought it was amazing, the flow and the way he´s dictating pace, he makes it look so smooth and easy. The way he plays is just beautiful.
Exactly. Denver basketball is beautiful to watch. Much better to watch than driving to the basket to draw fouls or just shooting 3s.
I don't get how anyone can say that! Sure, he may never do a double pump reverse dunk. But his passes alone make him must-watch.
@@andyramos3493 because people are monkeys “oo oo ah ah big man dunk basketball woo..me like”
People used to thoroughly enjoy great passing & ball movement, Magic & Bird ruled 80s NBA and their games were primarily about making their teammates better. After that, the Jordan era came to fruition during the 90s and everyone's interest suddenly shifted to 1v1 highlight plays, which was followed up by the rise of AND1 & Allen Iverson who "anklebroke" their way into dominating the basketball market. It's really nice that people are appreciating great passing & ball movement again as of late thanks to Steph Curry & the Warriors (even though haters would simply dismiss them as just jacking up threes all day), but then again it's kinda weird when people say the Nuggets are boring in comparison because they also have a great offensive flow to their game.
People who think he's boring either don't play basketball or don't watch any of the games. When the only things you know about basketball come from social media, you're bound to be blind to true greatness because Jokic doesn't care about showboating, drama or advertisements.
Jokic is a true team player. The man doesn't demand the spotlight, he raises the entire team up, and his strategic mind is superb. What an incredible athlete
Thats how they teach European Basketball . The ones that emulate nba playing over here, never make it over there
Euro Tim Duncan (team mentality wise)
Mans the god of stat padding but I feel you he is great. He will probably be in the hof
@@Derek2k Yeah true, he is stat padding by making lots of his 3's, free throws and offensive rebounds. What a bum smh (stat padding is a synonym of inefficient play, Jokic is one of the most efficient players of all time)
Is Jokic the only one who doesn't demand the spotlight?
"He makes it difficult for his teammates to even make a bad play" Very well put.
The only time they made a bad play was when going iso and didn't pass it to Joker.
I bet grandpa LeBron *FLOPPED* right where he was standing when heard that statement !!
@@chadkinman327nice one chad, u got him !!!!!
His ability to make tough long 3s at the end of the shot clock is what really opened my eyes this postseason. He truly is unguardable from every spot on the floor.
Anthony Davis was in shock after a couple of those hit nothing but net.
Fr tho when he mouthed Lebron and AD in the same game Ik the series was over no hope for the lakers
I love how unbiased Jimmy is. Everytime he sees good basketball you can bet there'll be a complex breakdown, no matter the player, no matter the team.
Yes exactly. Respect is paid wheres it s due.
facts. i remember him saying his favourite player is LeBron but he asserts that MJ is #1 through the proof he presents
If love basket ball there shouldn't be any basis, sad some ppl r, but if u love the game u can appreciate everything about it
Jimmy butler?
he kinda loves celtics tatum brown xd nah imma messin' he is non bias and he is i think the top hoop channel? hands down...keep goin tho
Jokić is so good he got Jimmy to upload twice in three days.
underrated feat
Absolute facts
@@expungebad Bro you having a stroke? I'm worried...
@@expungebad wrong timeline
@@expungebad wrong universe
This guy is skyrocketing up the all-time list, what an unbelievable player. We will never see a player like this again
I wouldn't say "never", but possibly need to wait for some years...
I mean he's like a super-Sabonis. These guys do come along. Very fun to watch though, that's for sure.
Funny.. Jokic proofs the exact opposit.
They'll be training the big guys like mad now... Knowing the benefit of tall guys who can shoot and pass.
Beautiful breakdown. I read just the other day the modus operandi for Jokic, which came from one of his basketball coaches when he was a kid. His coach told him, “Assists make 2 people happy, points just make 1 person happy.” This advice, given to Jokic as an impressionable kid, has been his driving philosophy ever since. That is why he humbly eschews awards and statistical accolades and emphasizes the cohesion of his teammates at every opportunity. This is why I admire his play so much: based on his interviews and his playing style it is evident that he prefers the nights where his points:assist ratio favors assists more than points.
What makes this playoff run even more impressive is that he's gone up against Gobert, Davis, and Bam who are all elite defensive bigs and he's still dominating.
No such thing as an elite defender/ defence. Either you put an effort to stop someone, on your end, or you don't give a phuck. Most of today's players fill that latter category. The ones that are playing D get called elite defenders, just cause they bother to actually do it.
You can't be named an elite in anything if the other guy mops the floor with you. You can be a defender, even a decent one, but that's all.
@@xWrongButtonx not true. Amazing offense will always beat amazing defense because defense is largely reaction and guessing based. So your always half a step behind. Elite defenders can be sliced and diced by the best players. But you are correct that defense ability always depends on effort as well.
@WrongButton82 that makes no sense. So what is Gary payton not an elite defender because jordan cooked him?
Holy moley thank you what is he being Wrong button even saying .. There is elite and specialty player with great specific skillset in all sports
@@lunaaryal8745not only Payton, but every defender of that era according to this logic ahahh
The problem isn't just that Jokic does everything great, it's that he also knows WHEN and HOW to do everything great. He's so clutch and so incredibly smart in his play. Unselfish, describing himself as a "passer first" in the past and just constantly accumulating more and more into his skillset.
He's possibly the most complete player in all aspects. As Jxmmy said, it's pick your poison. Joker is patient and deadly. Nugs in 6 at most.
lol why is that a problem
@@blitz0156 I mean as in the problem for other teams. I figured that was pretty obvious but if you don't understand, i'm trying to iterate the hurdle other teams have to overcome in trying to figure out Jokic.
@@sanjayr oh i see. Sorry english is not my first language. Now i get what you are saying. Tnx :)
@@blitz0156 No problem brother, sorry i didn't realise.
Not to mention worst case scenario he chucks the ball up from behind his head and being that tall its near impossible to block. How many shot clock beating shots has he made.
I thought I saw the greatest basketball had to offer with Bird and Magic. After 40 years I I see them again, in ONE person!! JOKIC!!
Totaly agree,I'm old and now my son let me to watch you tube. Nikola Jokic is like Bird...
@@user-sv2os1pb6jyour son let's you watch RUclips? Lucky
Coming from someone that didn’t have a real interest in this game, the hype around this season for my hometown team couldn’t be avoided if you tried. I am glad that was the case because it made me interested….even excited about the game, which I really never thought I would say. Watching this man play, with ZERO ego, and a sincere and obvious desire to make sure his teammates have opportunities is a true testament of his character. He doesn’t seem to care about the spotlight and in fact, it would seem the opposite. He is simply happy to be part of his team. Just so happens, his selflessness and pure talent puts him in the GOAT category and your video does an excellent job of showing this. This man deserves all the credit he is getting (even though reluctantly on his end), and it is so refreshing to see someone so worthy of being looked up to by everyone, especially young people. His character and morals are worthy!
It’s so fulfilling to see Jokic getting the respect he deserves
Unfortunately there are some media and other dudes till this day, refuse to except that fact, I don't know why?... But they only making foolls out of them self's.
He should've won MVP. Passed off for a has-been that can't even take their team to the conference finals.
reminder he didn't get mvp because he was white
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj that too. Remember when they made a big stink about too many white coaches in the NBA?
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj that’s not true at all ☠️
The fact that he is such a team-first player but still dropping 30-40 points is incredible. You can't guard him 1 on 1, you can't leave him open, and you can't double him. He is doing everything at the highest level and proving to be one of the most versatile and dominant players of all time. The dude is also under 30 years old... Joker is gonna have the league in a chokehold for years to come.
I think we all know who finna be face of the league now
Video of jordan saying jokic is better than Lebron: ruclips.net/video/L4O3qJcmX3E/видео.html
@@bandupzay what u gonna do if i dislike the video for being misleading?
Even if he does hit 30 his playstyle doesnt demand too much athleticism, i can see him age like curry, not exactly slowing down much at all as time goes
Jokic is the best but booker is chump KD is cupcake and fragile cp3 is washed and dry Anthony Davis is cupcake and fragile lebron is old and washed Austin reeves is only one trying and is the best laker most games, the heat are legit and hard workers but they are way behind talent and skill wise compared to Denver.
One thing that doesn't get talked about is that Jokic has a bad whistle and they don't give him as many FTs as other all time great centers. His FT rate in the POs is 0.28, Embiid's is 0.56, Shaq's 0.64, Hakeem's 0.36 and KAJ's 0.32. Jordan's is 0.39 and Lebron's 0.42. If he gets a similar wistle to other all time bigs we would actually be talking about Jokic being the GOAT
I feel like I was yelling about this all season when the argument for Embiid was the scoring title, but he averaged 12 FT per game
What are the factors in the FT rate numbers you cite?
@@lajohnson1ly The amount of free throw attempts you get per field goal attempt. Other way to look at its career FTA (since most superstars have similar FGA). Jokic in the POs averages 5.6 FTA, Jordan 9.9, Lebron 8.7, Embiid 9.3, Shaq 9.3, Giannis 9.4 and KAJ for example is similar with 6. You can clearly see the different treatment that Jokic gets comparing to other superstars. If Jokic would get the same amount of free throws he would average 30ppg while being the most efficient player in NBA history
@@MikelOstolaza Thanks for the explanation.
to be fair though, i think Jokic gets a lot more open looks and is generally fouled less compared to those other stars you mentioned. I haven't seen a single whislte worthy 3 point shot made by Jokic during this entire play off run on top of the fact that Jokic is open a lot of the times running the pick and roll with Jamal. The other plays you mentioned tend to be more physically contested ( Shaq tends to get fouled a lot because of Hack a shaq tactics . he's more than likely to miss at the line so i don't think he should be mentioned in this type of comparison)
People said Petrovich was the motzart of basketball cause he played it like a piece of art and that’s how I feel watching Jokic the guy is truly one of the most phenomenal people to ever touch a basketball
Jokic is the Michelangelo of the NBA.
A true savant, an unrepeatable talent. All we can do is enjoy the show he puts on as he writes his name DEEP into NBA history.
Petrovic would've crushed Jordan, kobe and o'neal in pieces.
"A reluctant 41 points" is such a wild yet accurate phrase. Honestly, when it comes to impact on the court offensively, Jokic reminds me of Tim Duncan purely due to his insane fundamentals. When Timmy played you didn't notice his 35 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, a steal and 3 blocks because he wasn't flashy. Jokic is a lot like Tim in that Silent but deadly manner.
yeah thats the only reasonable comparison. tim was an incredible passer his whole career but people finally saw how good in 2014. but even as a spurs homer (i have a spurs tattoo on my shoulder) jokic is somethning even beyond tim offensively. theres never been a more complete big man ever skillset wise. if he was an elite defender, hed be in convo for best player ever.
@@Cristian-vm1bg I don't necessarily like comparing the two because Jokic was a more elite passer and Duncan an elite defender, but because they're both so fundamentally sound it's hard NOT to make the comparison.
@@slackerofhell For me Jokic's best comparison are peak Larry Bird, peak Bill Walton & peak Arvydas Sabonis.
Both sides of the same coin: Tim was great on offense and elite on defense. Jokic is good defensively and off-the-chart on offense.
That's what makes him unique, instead of striving to be elite on only one aspect he is above average to many aspects which makes their team difficult to beat and for him to outsmart his guard.
And THAT is true offensive impact, it's not just points and assists. It's the way Joker completely changes the behaviour of both his teammates (constantly running) and opponents (drawn into stop him). This is the definition of a guy who makes his teammates better
Explained so perfectly how the mind-numbing isolation tactics of the NBA make both the fans AND the other players on the court just want to give up and go home. Denver are destroying that model and it's beautiful to watch. I'm sure there are plenty of fans who for some reason or another don't want them to win, but for the vast majority of basketball fans it's so refreshing and makes the game kind of new and exciting again. This whole finals series, including Miami's absurd run from #8, has shown us what the game can be like again.
Uhm jokic saw 3 different styles of basketball. From lebron heat small ball to spurs most beautiful ball movement to gsw small ball/ 3pt ball movement. He just incorporated it to his style and he is 7ft tall talk about lebron if 7ft and with tim duncan attitude and with steph curry 3pt accuracy
Jokić is a past first team player yet still puts up 40/10/10. Absolute legend.
Jokic is so unguardable that he switched his Deodorant to Axe brand. He was using "Right Guard" but it failed!
Video of jordan saying jokic is better than Lebron: ruclips.net/video/L4O3qJcmX3E/видео.html
@Craig Wheeler Axe over right guard? Pffft is obviously someone who's never worked a 15-hour shift. Right guard is King
Wish y’all appreciated lebron and other great players when they balled out

Did yall notice that Jokic's passing is almost contagious. It seems like everybody on that Nuggets team is starting to hit dimes. It's like they're learning to see passing lanes after being on the receiving end of so many. I'm expecting this Denevr swuad to win more chips in the future.
In one of Aaron Gordon’s interviews, he actually spoke on exactly that. He said watching Jokic and his passing ability helped him with his own. It really shows too in these playoffs. Not just being able to pass, but also receiving passes before they have been thrown. You anticipate where you should be at the most perfect time
@@traywaters1575the nuggets ball movement is amazing to watch, they rarely run any iso or selfish plays, constantly moving the ball until they find the best shot
yeah thats the trick, not only do you have to stress about jokic diming all night, but when his teammates are passing well too it gets very challenging, lol who do you double? Just jokic or the whole team from assisting 🫣
DUDE YESS I LITERALLY SAW GORDON DROP A DIME IN GAME 4 YESTERDAY AND WAS LIKE WTF
MPJ 🤔
What makes Jokic even more special is the fact that he's always available. Should he continue to stay healthy and play for extended years, he could destroy every NBA record before he retires.
He’s not even peak jokic yet the game of basketball Isn’t important to him, he plays like it’s a pickup game against 6th graders
-available- *inevitable*
@@vibesandchaos6470 , the best defence is offence.
@@vibesandchaos6470 I mean, sure, but it's not like he's especially bad on the defensive end, honestly. This season has really been a step up for Jokic in that regard.
The most important ability is always availability.
My favorite part is being missed and I think important. Due to his versatility I believe that he is less prone to injury and can sustain this type of game play for a long time. Think of how long Duncan and Nowitzki both played on dominant teams for 20 years. Jokic has like 12 more years to expand his game and I’m excited to see his future and hope with everything he stays as a nugget!
Even as a Heat fan, I got to say: what Jokic is doing is amazing. Unparallel. Historic. This man deserves a title.
NBA "team" fans baffle me. Wouldn't be caught dead saying that in most sports.
@@JT-km6th nah you're just a simpleton
I’m a Heat fan as well & I completely agree

@@JT-km6th what on earth are you talking about? Literally everyone that watches a sport is a fan of a team. Fights break out among fans, in any sports. It's called tribalism. It's deeply ingrained in us.
been a huge murray fan since the bubble. his level of play has never dipped, and i think he just needed the opportunity to show what he’s really made out of. really excited to see what he’ll end up accomplishing with jokic
Murray is just so fun to watch in my opinion the way he plays. He’s got a really nice post/midrange game as well as being a good shooter off the dribble and great around the basket. Just an elite 3 level scorer who’s game is aesthetically pleasing
@Don't Read My Profile Picture your imaginary girlfriend won't........ 😂
@@Treyball67 watching his play after his freak injury is truly inspirational that man wants to win it all so bad
@@Treyball67 he is a playoff magician, ultimate sidekick like Kyrie Irving 2015-17 (but with better longevity). U don't expect him to play like that in the 82-game regular season, but dude just transforms into an all-NBA level superstar in the playoffs. And Jokic is just changing his all-NBA second team and MVP runner-up status. He should be the center of ALL NBA first team + the MVP.
@@kowaikokoro yeah cause an injury like that that keeps you out for basically 2 seasons could have lasting effects on his mentality. We’ve seen young players get hurt and never reach the same level after. It’s awesome to see him come back even better
This is the singular best break down of the value of the Joker I have seen anywhere. I learned a lot from your break down of his impact on keeping his team mates in the play because of his vision and passing prowess. The stat at the end of total points generated really put in perspective the relative value of the hand full of players always included in the GOAT conversation. I'm not ready to put the Joker as the head of that group, yet. But a few more play off runs with these kinds of stats and it will be hard for anyone to deny his place at the top of the list of Greatest of all Time.
Excellent job on this video.
Certainly the greatest performance in playoffs of all time. Never a player was so valuable to his team during all playoffs. He makes all his team mates becoming way better than they truely are.
Jokic is one of the best examples of athleticism not mattering that much. Dude moves like a car through snow yet is still unguardable.
A car through snow lmao
he is snow plower. slow but steady and also make sure the job done
Lmao he is still very atheltic...
Saying non athletic about one of the most coordinated players in the league is crazy
Well being 7ft helps not having to be as athletic
Thank you for making this. People have been sleeping on this dude for way too long. Got less respect for his 2 MVPs than Nash did, and he got robbed of his 3rd this year.

@@matthewkolakowski3701 it’s not that though it’s cause even though he’s an amazing player he’s boring
@@Zeroclub0If you like basketball Jokic is far from boring. If you like the all star game and the dunk contest, I can see how you might think that Jokic is boring.
Man if you watch Soccer (European football), you can tell that Jokic is a soccer player playing basketball. The fluidity of his game and how that enables non stop movement on the court is very similar to how elite soccer is played. The joker is the Messi of the NBA
Those bounce pass in transition that he oftens does are a good example on how he is cleary emulating other sports into basketball. Like those amazing water polo passes he has been dishing.
Ok buddy. Whatever you say.
You were kind of making a little bit of sense until you blew it by mentioning messi, messi is all about messi, whereas Jokic is all about the team.
@@cupiddstuntmessi draws opposing defenders to himself and opens the team. part of his longevity arises from his ability to incorporate others. hence when Ronaldo went through a rough patch Messi could thrive as his game isn't dependent on goals. if Messi was a one man demolition machine PSG wouldn't have suffered. however I agree Jokic is more like Pirlo or Xavi.
@@murabula2092 So that is where you and I differ, you see a parallel between Jokic and messi and I see almost complete opposites.
Jokic would rather pass than score whereas messi would rather score than pass.
Jokic appears to be almost devoid of ego whereas messi is very much ego.
If messi’s game was about helping his teammates he would never have amassed the scoring record he has. I do agree though Jokic is far more of an Iniesta, Xabi, Pirlo type of player than a messi type.
On the point of why PSG did not do as well as people expected with that squad was messi was used to having the whole team centre around him, but PSG had far too many egos in the squad and that was counter productive.
And on messi’s longevity, I think it’s because he does little running, tracking back and defending than other players, his game input is centred on the least amount of effort for goals. He is like so many other goal scorers they only know how to run one way.
Call me crazy, but I think he's already the greatest offensive player in league history. Looking at Denver's lineup, I'm not even sure that lineup would be in the playoffs if you take Jokic out of the equation, and he even led em all the way to the chip. That man is a basketball maestro of the highest order.
Yup, you are crazy. Better yet, you aint crazy, you are straight up delusional. Im a MJ fundamentalist, and even i can say, with all the butthurt that comes with it for me, Bron is a better offensive player in league history than Jokic
Yeah, without Jokić this is a play in team
I literally got chills at the ending Jokic is unbelievable sometimes I almost can’t believe what I’m seeing
You’re watching history lol. The type of thing people will be reminiscing on in 20 years time. Definitely goosebump/chills worthy😂
@@kdburner7356 love this answer, as a Denver native and Denver nuggets life long fan I could literally not be more in awe of what we’ve seen this post season
@@kdburner7356 crazy thing is dude is still young and improving. he will most likely dominate all the charts when its said and done. the last chart of point generated, I can see him averaging 50+ for the next 10 years
The chills are there but that graph was a little bit inflated on the difference between LBJ and jokic
That last Jokic stat - Jokic has created more offense than any player in any playoffs in any season - brought a tear to my eye. Leave it to JxmyHighroller to demonstrate the facts to the world. Yes, it's okay, basketball world, to mention Jokic as the best big man ever. With a title or two, maybe we'll let our tongues utter those words.
Let’s calm down man. We’ve seen players that had all time potential lose it after a couple seasons, or the league adjusts and starts shutting them down. Ex being Harden. Dude used to be putting up crazy numbers and look at him now. Let’s just wait and let him cook
@@shawnseagraves1070 I don’t think they are talking about longevity. I think they mean so far he is the most offensively talented big man we have ever seen so far. You can’t take this away from him just because of time.
@Pile of sticks I kind of disagree with Jimmy here. Simply because there is no metric that can measure how steph breaks down defences with him moving off the ball. You can only use your eyes for that. Steph is the best offensive player ever ( in my eyes at least ). I mean even when he played with KD one of the biggest offensive threats ever, teams would double curry and would rather KD drive and Dunk than let steph shoot. Steph was double teamed just over 7 TIMES AS MUCH AS KD WAS in their 17 and 18 Finals win 🤯
However we got to give Jokic credit. I've been watching basketball for decades and to be very honest he's already the best playmaker EVER. yes he's a better playmaker than Magic
@@shawnseagraves1070 altough Harden was always and had been always a stats machine, and a big choker when the ball really matters. in terms of numbers top 40 all time, in terms of achievements not even in the top 100
Still taking Hakeem over Jokic but Jokic is up there.
It felt like the media was rooting against Jokic and the Nuggets because of their false narratives and lies about the MVP race. The more Jokic posted up triple-doubles and lead his team to another win, the more the media were sweating and shaking in their boots. The more they won, the more the media got exposed. In the West finals, Nuggets swept their beloved Lakers yet they barely talked about it. When they finally won the finals and Jokic won MVP, they all ate crow and it was beautiful. Im not even a Nuggets fan but Jokic, Murray and thei Nuggets totally won me over by proving all the media haters wrong. Karma is a b1tch.
This video needs to be seen by everyone. What Nikola is doing is incredible
I'm glad people are starting to realize how great Jokic is! So underappreciated and now getting recognition.
Only the media... real fans know he's been great for years already. Haven't had a lot of luck in the postseason recently but's it's turning around.
What do you mean? He is a back to back MVP, should have been 3 time. I think people know how great he is. This Jokic is underappreciated, I just don't get.

The thing is, Jokic has been that dude. He just like the video said very quietly, dominating the game. He isn't flashy, loud, full of ego. He's truly the definition of what a coach wants his players to be. Team first, family, no ego, don't care about stats, and can carry his team if need be. He has made me a fan this year. Him and Gordon turned me into the bandwagon fan fr

It’s crazy how you have to make good playoff runs to get any recognition at all
As a lifetime nuggets fan, Welcome.
He is actually a Tim Duncan 2.0 based on your description. 😂
@@allainangcao28 Except Duncan was world class on defense
I love Jimmy’s videos. He’s so unbiased and pretty much speaks straight facts all the time. He always finds the numbers and shows how they prove his point. This video shows just how good Jokić is. He was robbed of an MVP, and is underrated. I think these finals are finally getting him some of the recognition he deserves though. He is truly one of the best offensive player of all time, and I personally think that after this ring, he will be a top 5 center. He is easily the best basketball player in the world right now. He’s truly incredible.
Thanks JXMY for the content and seeing Jokic’s greatness. Respect !
Seeing Nikola Jokic play is a breath of fresh air in the era of 3 points shots after 3 point shots and ball domination isolation players
his jokesonyou3's are brutal tho , he shoots better then anyone in the playoffs probably lol
but like isn't Jokic second in three point shooting percentage. He is just a bigger curry that doesn't like to shoot the three too much cause he is humble.
@@promis21198 he's 3 point percentage is high because he only shoots 3 when he has to or he needs to. The 3 points are the bonus his game is not dependent on the 3 point shot. There's so many players and teams who live and die by the 3 point shot. Miami Heat have been amazing these playoffs but they don't win if their 3 pointers are not falling
@@paramtageja6891 that makes it eve more impressive that his 3pt percentage is high.
He's sort of this era's Duncan.
Isn't flashy but their the best
Sports media refuses to give this man his flowers. We are witnessing the most talented big man in NBA history. Thank you Jxmy
I think it is because there is no crazy narrative like there usually is no comebacks no super difficult opponents they just win. The only kind of good narrative is 8th seed vs 1st seed but that's only if heat win which they wont
What are you talking about sports media say he's a top 10 center right now
@@roxjaw2895 even that's disrespectful tho he was a clearer mvp than embiid and had the last 2 mvps and is now in the finals bout to get fmvp he is best center in the league
Still taking a Prime Hakeem over Jokic but Jokic is up there.
Ever???Hakeem and Kareem would’ve ate this guys food. U must’ve been born in 2004.
Great job as always! My favorite channel on RUclips. Jokic has always played the game the right way. Glad more people are watching him play on the biggest stage.
This is just beautiful.... Everything you put on this channel is just clean. Never confusing,and extremely entertaining. The best part about your page is EVERYTHING ON YOUR PAGE ARE STRAIGHT UP FACTS! 💯 Thank you for all the work you put in to make this happen.
After Embiid threw his teammates under the bus, I, a Sixer fan, feel safe and free to say Jokic was robbed the mvp this year. Im a huge fan of his such a great guy and selfless player
Hard to believe you’re a Sixers fan. Embiid absolutely dominated Jokic in their last game or did you forget? Embiid had a string of 50 point performances while the Nuggets went on a losing streak; yet, people are saying Jokic deserved to win the MVP. Puzzling 🤔
@@TeeceeMoody ahh leadership; player efficiency rating; team ranking. Ik playoffs dont reflect regular season mvp but thats clearly what Embiid cared about not winning a chip. Philly likes winners with heart. This guy settled for himself I aint gonna be biased towards that

@@pulsebear LOL!
@@EaglesMeth7 I thought he was hurt, though. It looked like he could barely walk during the playoffs.
I grew up in Denver and have been watching the nuggets since we drafted Melo in 03, I was 7 at that time. I’ve seen the highs and lows, and man I can’t tell you how refreshing the entire Jokic era has been. Him and Murray are humble superstars, and it’s been so good to watch. Never in my life did I think the Nuggets would be this close to a title and nobody deserves it more than this man
I’m not a Nuggets fan, but they are slowly becoming a team I am rooting for.
no one deserves a title, if that was the case the 08 Celtics should never have won a title and neither should have any of the non dynasty teams
They're the perfect stars for the market they play in
Great to have a season for Denver where everyone was finally healthy. The best part is everybody got to see Nikola in a long playoff run all the way to the championship.
i have seen so many jokic highlight videos that i swear i have seen every play this man has ever made, but i will never tire of it
What a special time to be a nuggets fan. Thanks Jokic. Denver legend forever
He'll end up as the greatest Nugget ever...

Jokic is one of the greatest ever. People are finally waking up to his brilliance. He is absolutely incredible.
Facts
Everybody switching up now.
Im glad Jokic showed this kind of playstyle because my favorite team in OKC plays simular to this kind of style, SGA drives to the rim are lethal along with his deadly mid range attracting the defensive gravity making his teammates open while JDub is a absolute menace as a slashing cutter finding different ways to get his guy slacking to slither to the basket while Giddey is their playmaking wizard, the orchestrator of the offense he controls the game by his passing like hos teammates said he'll you the ball you just gotta be ready then you got Isaiah joe is a sniper as their movement shooter while Poku & Dort can catch and shoot to knocking down corner triples lastly Chet is their wildcard since the dude very dynamic plus can score on all 3 levels.
Jokic the foundation of modern basketball also the blueprint on how it should be played in this era.
I gotta say, I'm not that big of a NBA fan , but I can appreciate the way you put this together. Respect
It's crazy that it took these playoffs for a lot of us to realize how crazy his game is. His floor awareness is crazy and i'm always shocked at the passes he decides to make.
Yeah only the real fans and us fans of Denver knew how great of a player he is
This man's really making Kendrick Perkins look even sillier than he normally does.
If Joker continues this he's gonna be top 2 all time.
I just started getting into basketball and I’m trying to learn more about the NBA and it’s players and I just wanted to thank you for helping not only me, but probably a lot of the viewers and newer fans, discover what this beautiful sport has to offer, keep up the work man! Subscribed 😁👍
The way Jxmmy narrates and presents his findings is A1. His videos never miss.
His videos are top tier
@@ElysiumEntropy No lies told.
Storytelling at its finest.
the best thing about what jokic is doing is that it is not forced. it just comes to him and he makes adjustments along the way. and even if he got a sprained ankle, he still got his numbers. no fancy moves. no highlight dunks. just beautiful, intelligent and efficient basketball. and his teammates compliments his playstyle. another nice vid jimmy! :)

That man got a ring now
Watching Jokic feels like watching one of the greatest things to ever happen in basketball
What we're witnessing this playoff run is nothing short of amazing, seriously. I'd NEVER would have guessed this year is gonna be so special, full of all time performances and powerful narratives. What Jokic is doing for the entirety of these playoffs seems like a fever dream. Ofc gotta give flowers to the whole Denver squad too, Murray is a playoff flamethrower once again, and both the Nuggets and the Heat play full on team basketball, not as star centric as some teams that got eliminated earlier
How is that D riding
Heat have been so amazing and have had an incredible run but the nuggets run is just another playoff. What jokic is doing is insane and groundbreaking proving he is the best player in the world. But in terms of greatest runs by a team they have gone through 8th seed, 4th seed, 7th seed, 8th seed. Not super impressive and nuggets squad is really good
@@alexanderhillier3831 you have to remember that the 4th seeded suns and 7th seeded lakers are far better than their ranking. Both of those teams made mid season trades that improved their rosters. Half of the season the suns and lakers were playing worse basketball.
@@LOLsinang yeah I'll give u that with the lakers but with the suns KD only played 10 games with them so they didn't have the best chemistry and CP0rings was injured. U right tho these lakers would have been top 5 seed if this was there roster in November
One of the most intelligent, in-depth, analysis of single player. Perfect!
Your analysis at 6:09 on iso ball is spot on! One of the key differences between Jokic's success and say James Hardin's struggles
One of the most impressive aspects of Jokic is that genuinely doesn’t care about stats. He breaks records just playing his game and taking what is given to him. He only takes over games when he knows that’s what his team needs to win.

Jordan dunks on Shaq 😵 - ruclips.net/video/JBv8vTxef-o/видео.html
Jokic really is just on another level compared to everyone else right now and arguably has been for the last three years. This playoff run will be remembered forever as one of the greatest in NBA history and has elevated him to where he will be talked about next to Hakeem, Wilt, and Shaq and he did it by making his teammates better.
I agree, he has clearly been the best in the league this year and last year, and arguably 2021 as well (I think Steph has an argument though)
Umm no. If Jimmy won, that would be the greatest run ever. Jokic beat two 8th seeds, a 4 seed that just traded all if its defensive talent + injuries, and a 7 seed (that was a good team).
While the stats are historic, they had one of the easiest paths in years. Only 1 of the teams they beat had any realistic chance of being a champion.
If you wanna argue the greatest statistical run, then yeah maybe so. What m&j are doing is insane.
Having Shaq like comparison, at this stage of Jokic's game is really an insult to Jokic.
Shaq never did anything that Jokic does, so I really can't see on which parameters we can compare the two of 'em. Shaq had a more successful career, which still holds true, but Jokic ain't finished. Only thing where Shaq had an upper hand was a better roaster, he was always surrounded by great teammates (to mention some: Penny Hardaway, Kobe, Wade etc) which only diminish his value, in my eyes. Hakeem, on the other hand is someone Jokic could or probably already has modeled some of his game after. Better offensive player than Shaq, better defensive player than Shaq (talking about The Dream) and also had his share of assists. If Jokic manages to win it all, this year, he will be the second center to do it without an all star teammate. Hakeem was the first one to do it, back at '94. So yeah, Shaq isn't even close to Jokic, in my eyes, in the skill department, offensively Jokic is better, defensively- we could argue which had better D, Shaq was a force which meant only crazy dudes were going at him, so yeah, just having him at the paint made a huge diff, whether he was actively involved or not is a different conversation. Jokic does smart D, intercepting, stealing, forcing opponents to their weaker side, when taking shots etc. Not as good at rim protecting as Shaq was, not even close, but better at every other part of defense. Overall, Jokic is a better player than Shaq ever was, but that's just my opinion, as someone who's been watching it since the 80's, and was playing bball for 10years in Serbian league.
@@Masoch1st Ok so first round Edwards , KAT and Gober were "easiest" team to beat of all, next round u have KD , Cp3 ( for 2 games tho, but won both games with him) and Booker who was averaging 35p on like 70 % shooting, then he played Lebron and AD and swept them and then in the finals Heat who beat Bucks and Boston as both of them were contenders for championship. Not that easy when u look at who they played against , and not the seed they were.
Yes, this is a great statistical season and Jokic will be one of the greatest center of all time, I can agree wirh that. But this is far away from the greatest run ever. Wolves were a weak and easy 8th seed opponent. The 4th seed Suns had some chance but no depth and injuries hurting them and an 7th seed Lakers who were okay but overachieved with that core because that's a fluke conference finals appearance, they were not a good team. Same with the 8th seed Heat. I love the Heat but they don't have a championship team. This is still a great story for them but this is also once if a lifetime chance to go to the NBA finals as an 8th seed with this ,,okay" roster which is truly not that great.
So Denver is a great team, they earned their place and will deserve the Championship but this is very far from the greatest run of all time.
If the Heat wins with some miracle, then we can talk about that.
I love this new upload schedule, there is no other stats loving analyst like you
I know this video is a celebration of Nikola's dominance, and I'm 100% here for it, but my even bigger takeaway was being reminded how much of a monster a healthy Kawhi Leonard is in the post season. Easy to forget he was the probably the best player in the league for a very brief moment.
Healthy Kawhi is easily top 3 in the league during playoffs, his only weakness is injuries
2019 he was the best in the league.
@@kevinmagron9032to me it just further emphasizes the value of Jokic....
Even the best player in the NBA has no value when injured.
Thats why Nikola is so insanely valuable, like Lebron was.
When you're great, and you're a walking injury report, like Zion for example, whats the point. And when you're great, and you're always around, thats when you become immortalized.
Jokic reminds me of those old school hoopers. Those 60's/70's players that may not be the most athletic or flashy but play efficiently and is a bit odd/awkward. With today's league that loves to showcase the flashy and "entertainment" aspect of players, Jokic shows a raw form of how basketball is played.

As a Dubs fan, I've loved Jokic's game since a few years back around the time he was playing at an MVP level. I'm glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves as well as him somehow getting even better and putting up even more insane numbers. One of my favorite players and even though he's not very "entertaining" his skill level at his position always leaves me in awe. Not to mention his humbleness and humility.
Yeah, he just ain't playing at an MVP level anymore. He is probably in the twilight of his career. It will be nice to see him win a ring before he retires or gets traded.
Bro he is still playing at an MVP level. He could've gotten the MVP this season if not for some media propaganda involving a certain demographic.
Perfectly said. Especially the "entertaining" part. If you REALLY like basketball, dude is one of the most entertaining players in the league. If the only thing that entertains you are dunks and crazy 3s, well, there's a whole day dedicated to that in the all-star break 😉
@@YossGold it’s so crazy to see people say they don’t like watching him play
He has not nowdays flashy circus tiktok etc. mentality, but for true basketball lovers he is very entertaining to watch, makes unimaginable passes, sick shots while making everything to look easy. Also has all great values, as a person, but also as a teamplayer and just wanna help his team to win.
Jokic seriously gotta be looked at as best human to touch a rock In his prime category
Jimmy you’ve done it again. Tears in my eyes. A masterful video finally capturing the greatness of Joker

@@FA71H Yeah I was confused by that too.
@@nikolanonkovic4110 it also misrepresents the data in a malicious way, and is terrible practice for someone who presents their points as backed by logic and numbers
@@DonFranciscoUSFWhat's not misrepresented in a malicious way these days, specially about Joker lets say only before finals started or with all that bullsh*t MVP talk..
I think a lot of credit should also go to the Nuggets organization. They assembled a perfect system and players to go around Jokic and they were patient and stayed with Coach Malone to allow consistency over the years.
When I watch the Nuggets execute offensively it points out all the flaws of my Cleveland Cavs. We have a ball dominant pg and two bigs that lumber around waiting for their shots. It's an offensive (like many in the current NBA) that resembles more of a three point shooting contest where you no longer have to look at the final score to see who won the game as it just comes down to which team hits more threes. The Nuggets have something special and are a breath of fresh air for a league that needed it as we hopefully move on from Lebron sometime soon.
Aaron gordon is the one they leave open. Hes a 4th draft pick. Nuggets gm is mvp
He's the most frustrating player to play against. Everyone who has played enough basketball knows that feeling, the person that your team can't guard. It sucks away all the fun of planning strategies to come out with a win. All you're left is false hope and desperation. Is the kind of player you just have to watch cause you can't stop him. It's horrible.
I loved his playoff run, was amazing to watch. But as a player, for a moment I just sit and said: 'Ain't nothing they can do'. I felt so bad for the others teams
You gotta outscore them or ggs. I think that's why the Suns got the most games out of the Nuggets
Fact is Jokic plays fundamentally perfect basketball. He takes what the game gives him, his teammates understand that all the double and triple teams Joker gets leads to a lot of open looks for cutters who can find the voids in the lane…or get open looks on threes due to the slowed defensive rotations.
Jokic is so impossibly good and somehow there are still ppl who don’t have him on their current top 5 nba players list. Just to show how underrated this man is.
I love the breakdowns that you give, bro. It really puts into perspective how special these performances Jokic (and other players that you have covered) really are.
i truly believe we are witnessing a potential goat in jokic. i think he could go down as maybe top 3
I see it too
If he won't improve his defense, I don't see him cracking top 5. He must be collecting a lot of (and I mean A LOT) of accollades to compensate and be considered in the top 3.
I'm talking about a minimum of 4 rings, 4 MVPs, 4 FMVPs, top 10 in any stats, winning records, etc.
Those accolades are at least what MJ, Bron, and Kareem accomplished and they are considered by most as the top 3 all-time players right now.
He's far from it for now but it's definitely possible.
The graph at the end 8:40 was AMAZING! Thank you
Jokic has a sluggish style which is a smart strategy, not a limitation. He plays slower to outsmart faster players. It's more about tactics and understanding the game than about his actual speed. He's unpredictable because of this, making him really effective in the NBA.
I'm not saying he's the most athletic player ever, but he's far more athletic than he looks. His size and build makes him LOOK slower than he is. Especially on TV.
Watch when he runs coast to coast, he stays ahead of players that look faster while dribbling the ball. He couldn't do that if he was actually slower. It's just his stride is longer, so he's taking less steps to cover the same distance. Some of his post moves, like his spins, are actually quite quick. There's a reason he gets past 'more athletic' players consistently with it.
@@AAGEnzee one of my favorite things about the Nuggets vs Lakers series was how Jokic played vs AD. Lots of people like KG were saying the way AD needs to play is by being aggressive, initiating contact early, and making Jokic run by pushing the pace up and down the floor. And then what happened, Jokic was the one doing all of that to AD. Jokic’s strength and endurance are elite and so underrated. How many games did we see Embiid look gassed by the 4th quarter. Jokic never appears that way in games where he is pushing the pace up the floor for 40+ minutes.
@@bilbobaggins33 i agree.. though I will give a small correction that Jokic ALWAYS looks gassed, lool. Not that he actually is, but literally the moment the game starts he looks tired. I almost wonder if that's a psychological advantage, causing his opponents to constantly underestimate him.
okay jokic is amazing but that's just cap, he plays fast for his relative agility, especially in the post, most time's he's just running the play not "playing slow"
@@AAGEnzee playing for Denver (altitude) and having the minutes that man has played should be enough for anyone to stop the "he's not in shape" claim. Jokic has more endurance than most, he's not flashy and fast sure, but he's so big that he appears slow on camera. Seeing this guy run in person and the way he moves you most definitely wouldn't call him slow
The comparison with Shaq's 2000 run is mind-boggling. You've obviously done a lot of Finals content lately Jxmy, but I'd love to see a video breaking down Jokic's entire season and how it stacks up with the greatest ones ever. I'm sure it's incredibly high on the list and would be even higher if a certain center from Philadelphia didn't beg people to giving him a particular award... which we all know Jokic deserved.
Video of jordan saying jokic is better than Lebron: ruclips.net/video/L4O3qJcmX3E/видео.html
its mind bioggling bec hes missing context. if you compare the are offensive eras shaq offensively and on the boards actually was significantly better outside of assists. shaqs team that post seasons scored 15 less points per game and he still averaged more than jokic. and more board seven though there were less possessions
@@ForEducationalPurposesOnly
Nah, for every 75 possessions Shaq averages around 28.5 points and 14 rebounds with a 56%TS
Jokic for every 75 possessions he averages 29 points 10 assists and 13 rebounds on 62% true shooting
Even with the amount of possessions adjusted Jokic is better offensively, the only problem is his defence which may keep Shaq above Jokic for now.
The only thing that comes close offensively is 91 Jordan or 2009 Lebron
91 Jordan averaging 32 points 8 assists 60% true shooting for every 75 possession or 09 Lebron averaging 35 points 7 assists 60% true shooting
@@Apwolsopcjrhei sooooo Shaq played more minutes a game and kept that same level? Yea I'll consider that more dominant. 40 minutes of Shaq or 33 minutes or Nikola? I'll take 7 more minutes than with my main guy. And again. In the actual games played he produced a higher percentage of his teammates points and rebounds than Nikola. Again not to disrespect nikola.this is an all time finals performance but Shaq was more dominant. We don't play basketball by 75 possessions or 36 minutes. We play 48 minute full games.and Shaq was more dominant
@@ForEducationalPurposesOnly
Jokic still scores more per 100possesion by 1 point I think around 38 points for Jokic and 37 points for Shaq. Jokic also has like 6 more assists and is more efficient. I think they’re both as even as you can get cause Jokic has defence problems, but I still think Jokic’s offence is still a shit ton better.
I would love to see a video about playoff experience.

This video was a really great one Jimmy. Thank you for the upload!
I love the channel from the stats,to the music, and the way you articulate the game just amazing!!!
"He makes extremely difficult for his teammates to make a bad play". Sounds like a player that is extremely valuable. If they only had some sort of award like the most valuable player.
I’m glad to see this man finally starting to get his props. He’s been slowly grinding year after, getting better and better and now he’s probably the best player in the NBA
The conclusion of the video is amazing! Well done and Jokic finally gets his prize he deserves!
This man is such a monster and while I feel like everybody knows he exists, he's left out of so many discussions when the guy is unstoppable.
He has a valid shot at becoming the greatest of all time. People ALWAYS talk about records of the ''goats'' of today to be unbreakable, but in reality, eventually there are going to be even better and better players who are going to break those records and become greater. And that's what makes the sport so amazing.
Well the thing is the joker does not even have a ring yet i noticed that every single player in 90% peoples top 10 have atleast 3 rings, yes he's one of the best offensive players ready already but he would have to maintain this type of historic pace for a few more years to even be considered a top 10. Joker being the goat wont happen, him being a top 3 big man with shaq,kareem, its somewhat possible but still a little strech
@@jibes2239 you realise mj won his first ring at the same age right
I really dont know about that one. For him to be considered the Goat or even get into that conversation you gotta win atleast 3 or 4 rings at the absolute minimum.
