Sad shaq staring out the window rn
Some1 should ask him "Whats it like to be the member of the big man alliance?" Cuz he sure aint no president :D
Noticed Shaq was absent from his TV show last night.
@@Dave--gp1qx Him and Barkley didnt show up for work 🤣🤣🤣
He knows that Jokic is coming for his ass and that’s why he’s pissed of 😂
Jokic is already the greatest center of my lifetime and boy its amazing
This is an honest question without snark-- who are better *players* than Jokic in your lifetime?
@@matthewvaldez6046 I was born in 1998, following the league since 2014, the only ones with a argument would be LeBron, Curry ad KD when it comes to domination on the court, without narratives. But to be honest Jokic might be the best, I'm fascinated with his game
@@walidsbiri2855 I think Jokić, Curry, & LeBron are in a different tier than KD tbh, I'm not a KD hater but he's closer to Giannis & Kawhi in impact
Jokic could be a prolific scorer if he wanted to be. What’s crazy is that he can be that but he does what’s necessary to win. He generated 70 points last night when you factor his points and assists. And 0 turnovers.
He doesn’t get to the line as much as an Embiid or a Shia Gilgeous Alexander, but if he really focused on scoring and drawing more fouls he would be 35+ average points easily
@@KnoxWheelerJr in terms of legacy a agree, but when it comes to skill I cannot consider KD outside the tier
One of the many crazy stats from Joker last night is that he had 16 in the third quarter, but he didn't score until the 6:32 mark. All of that came in a little over six minutes.
At that pace if he plays 40 minutes then he can break Wilts 100 point record!
Jokic out here whoopin feet 👣👣
Wop wop wop
Someone make a Shaq crying Jordan meme.
I've been watching this game since bird and magic and I have not seen a center SO DOMINANT offensively in an important playoff game in my life.
(Yes, that's a direct shot at Shaq.)
that's ridiculous. Shaq dominated plenty of important playoff games like this.
@@blueconversechucksShaq also played with Kobe , who is a top 5 player of all time .
Jokic is yet to play with an official all star .
whatever. you can't pretend like shaq didn't dominate as much as jokic.
@@blueconversechucks Like this? Shaq was able to playmake, have 13 assists on 0 TO's, shoot the ball with this kind of percentage(not dunk-shoot), hit almost 100% FT's, successfully guard "small guys" good as Ant...?!?!? When was that?
p.s. I wan't even talk about 130 triple doubles...and all of that for a guy who just turned 29!
@@VLAD_P_ Exactly! Upravo tako!
Even in Serbia when Jokic started playing the big teams didn't know who he was they just noticed a guy from a smaller club putting up crazy stats .
Joker said "It can be like this every night if i wanted to. Do you really want it like this?"
Best offensive player of all time and best big man of all time. Just looking purely on what this man does on the court (and its everything), no1 is close to the Joker and its been like this for last few years.
LMAO
@@bonganimkhwanazi2081 name another player that can shoot from all over the floor, shoot 3s, have those kind of post moves, shoot fadeaways, hooks, layups, dunks, left hand, right hand. Have that kind of vision, those kind of passes, read the game that way, be that unpredictable. Make your teammates that much better, not force anything, not be a ballhog, play a beautiful team brand of bball and be so humble.
Thank you Shaq e all the other talking heads
10 years from now we will talk about this moment
👌
Joker was cooking up a master class session on the wolves , and gobert
When was jokic ever gonna face a 4 time DPOY in with a defensive system built around him making it the best defense in 10 years IN THE PLAYOFFS ever again? It was a statement game.
@@samuelsamano3777 He's a Freak of nature, so...Greetings from Motherland Serbia!
Denver nuggets vs Portland trail blazers 4th overtime game(2O22) was epic that was Jokic best game in my opinion ..
Yes, jok played like a cold blood killer murdering Damian in the most brutal way.
The one we lost? Lol
It was epic and built the legacy but the Jokić nuggets of right now is really peak basketball.
The greatest thing about his performance in that game was his superhuman stamina. He played 65 minutes while putting up 33-18-14. Still even after that game most fans and talking heads around the country were still stuck on the 'he's overweight and out of shape' nonsense.
@@tompratt7125and the best part about jokic is that he take the responsibility for that lose. He actually said the lost because he was out of gas, after playing 60+ minutes...
Great job on all the breakdowns and then showing it in full motion to see how fast Jokic is seeing the game.
On the night he received his MVP. Coincidence ? I think not. He wanted to show the world how he can dominate anyone anytime anywhere. DPOY? BBQed. Super Slo-mo analyses
I mean he had 53 points and 11 assists in the second round last year on about the same efficiency
Also 6 TO’s and an L
Also only 1 STK. This was a much better game
I think just with the series starting in the Timberwolves favor 2-0 how everybody had turned on him and started doubting him again the night he gets his MVP 40 13 and 7 zero turnovers two steals and a block on 75% shooting. The number is in the Phoenix game are better. This was a better play game with higher stakes.
Shaq made mvp about himself, bad look. Joker just took it to another level.
This game by Jokic, in particular 3rd quarter, must be studied and taught at all levels of basketball, from elementary school to NBA level. This was what basketball should look like.
Joker is averaging 29, 13, and 10 this postseason. Once again his postseason numbers are better than his ridiculous regular season numbers. And he's done it v AD and Gobert and in this series the best D in the league. He's played 74 career playoff games and he's top 10 all time in playoff ppg and true shooting and is top 15 all time in rebounds and assists per playoff game. One of the greatest playoff performers in league history. Was this his greatest game ever? Not sure about that. He had 41-15-15 v the Suns on Christmas Day a couple of years ago and a 49-14-10 game v the Clippers too. But this one is definitely up there and given the importance of the game may be his best.
The stakes of those games were essentially meaningless, the stakes of this series are legacy defining.
@@Masoch1st No the stakes here aren't legacy defining. This is a second round series v a team that's never done a thing. I could have mentioned many amazing games from last year's WC finals and the actual Finals.
@@tompratt7125 What? A team that has the best defense and beat them in Denver's home court twice in a row isn't high stakes? Honestly, I would put this Minnesota team in front of any of Denver's opponents last year. Yes, they haven't achieved anything yet but they are not easy to handle. Suns just got swept pretty convincingly.
I have watched every minute of Denver's playoff run last year. This game was more impressive than all of those games even though Jokic was still so great in the whole run. People keep saying Jokic got zero turnover but I think he didn't make a single "basketball mistake". He didn't waste any possession.
@@berryesseen I agree!
Can you even imagine what hes gonna do when hes NOT going up against solid center defenders?? He hasnt had a series against a soft center in 2 years. He is going to DECIMATE the okc or mavs front court if they get past this series. Playoff Jokic is an animal, and hes only faced the better center defenders for a long time now.
Great job Jason! Always enjoy the breakdowns. The thing about Jokic is how he makes it look easy but dont forget that this is the best defensive team he is doing it against.
If the refs didn’t basically allow handchecking in the first two games, this series would be over
Exactly!
His best game imo was 3rd game against suns last year 30/17/17 it was basically 1v9
17 assists says it was not, in fact, a 1v9
Love all your analyses!
a really detailed look at Jokic - thank you Jason for showing us the clips which helps us to appreciate Jokic's great court vision and skills, offensively and defensively.
you explain things so well! thank you. really enjoy your channel.
Jason starting to be a big Jokic fan and how can you not the man is one of a kind ! Great video
I was my son’s age in 1988. We both started playing in 3rd grade… now he’s finishing 6th. I tell him and his older sister every single game that this is once in a lifetime greatness that they’re watching. I doubt they realize fully yet but I’m saving this video to show them later. A Nuggets repeat this year will cement Joker as the greatest… assuming more accolades will come.
A better storyline couldn’t have been written with the MVP snub last year, chip+ finals mvp, then down 0-2 to the next Michael Jordan… then greatness released. The opening screen on Edwards in game 3 was the turning point on the court. But the MVP announcement disrespect is what woke the sleeping giant.
Nuggets in 6… gangster sweep 🧹 😎
Jason thanks for the detail on Nikola's game. The footwork analysis was fascinating! As i was watching the game i was thinking wow he's really playing to win tonight! Glad to learn you thought it was his best game so far ...
Great Analysis Jason. Would add three small things: 1. The shoulder shimmy in the post was pioneered by MJ, with Olajuwon following closely after, not KG. KG himself said he used it as he wanted to be power-forward version of MJ. 2. The move Jokic does on the baseline is called a Smitty, after Steve Smith and his pioneering of it in the 90s. 3. The so-called step through gather he takes is a clear travel before this new (B.S.) rule that allows a step through from a picked up dribble, That was a clear travel before the last few years when the NBA quietly changed the rule. Which is why guys like Lebron and Chris Paul never would've done that earlier in their careers as it was simply illegal. To allow a gather step following a pivot and not from a live dribble is complete hogwash but nowadays they allow it. What makes it more egregious that as usual it's clear without that 'newly allowed step' he wouldn't have been able to even get the shot off let alone hit it. The 'Sombor Shuffle' is effectively the same thing - allowing a step after a pivot, which again helps him get off a shot where previously he would've been stuffed. Really ridiculous which is why so many fans instinctively react to it as a travel but that's just the Modern NBA.
Level of focus for Jokic in the game is off the chart, like everybody is saying, Jokic received the MVP award tonight and he took it personal and BBQ Gobert.
I really love the video section where Jason breaks down and dissects the game play by play for us. Super knowledgeable! We are custom to see so-called Super Stars beat ppl with superior skill set & athleticism in iso, but basketball is never a 1 on 1 sport. Why risk every shot with higher missing chance when u can smartly get easy buckets.
PS: the pivot foot work near the basket was best done by Kobe: he is amazing at that.
As a Denver fan I kindly ask you to not speak about Boston yet. I've knocked on wood and taking the jinx off of it. One team at a time. This thing is probably going to seven and we're not counting our victories until we get them done. Everybody knows that Ant could come out with a 50-point game and they could take game 6. If I were a betting man I would bet on Minnesota in game 6. But as a Nuggets fan I really hope we find a way to pull it out. If not I'm pretty confident about game 7 but it's always better to wrap it up early if you can. No way that it's going to be easy. I think Minnesota is the closest team to Denver of all the remaining playoff teams. Boston's right there but we have a lot of work to do before we get to see them, if we get to see them. Go nuggets!!!🎉🎉🎉
The footwork is insane but the touch that he has makes him unguardable. That step through is an insanely difficult shot I reckon 90% of the league don't make against outstretched Gobert.
Of course it was a fantastic night, but that first move is a travel. He lifts the pivot foot.
Jason you've officially become my fav youtube sports related💯
This was super interesting. Bravo!
10/10 breakdowns, love the content it is truly elite
devoured this content!!! you are my favorite NBA YT channel
4:00 I love how you explain that.
was waiting for this one
This, like all of your content is incredible Jason, I'm a casual basketball fan from Manila hi! You're my go to after every game coz you break things down so well it enriches anyone's understanding of the many many elements that go into basketball. Have you ever considered doing breakdowns of the greatest plays in NBA history? Like Magic's baby sky hook against the Celtics, Bird's steal on Isaiah, MJ's Cleveland, Utah game winners, etc...that would be a thrill!
More power! Thank you for such great content! 🏀
That was one of the greatest performances I’ve seen in recent memory. It’s just crazy you can be on the court on one of the biggest stages in a must win game coming back from down 0-2 in the post season and still you could visibly see Jokic is just so much better than everyone else on the court and it’s not even close. From start to finish that entire game was dictated by Joker and it’s like nothing anyone could do would be able to overturn it… I haven’t seen dominance like that since 2018 LeBron James
Thanks Jason. An impeccable breakdown.
COMPUTER mind + unmatched TOUCH = MV3 and BEST basketball player on the planet!
Thank you Jason, great video. You should be on esp as analyst. Awseome job man 💪
Nikola was just playing for the win and scoring insurance baskets. Not personal, no choking, just another level.
Small details like Jokic noticing Goberts foot was out of place on that deep post and hooking Naz’s hand are why I love Jokic and this channel. Keep up the good work man love watching these
At 21:38 where you said its like a swim move, it's actually a move used in water polo to initiate a drive!! So cool
Those syncronised steps by Gordon and Jokic at 24:15 😂
Good catch😂
The NBA has been doing the step thru since the 1950’s
It's all Shaq's fault. When Shaq dissed Joker in the MVP award presentation, he woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, shot himself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, wrote a check he couldn't cover, leaped before looking, painted himself into a corner, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put his foot in his mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, boarded the USS Titanic, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.
I hope he does this again.
Jokic turned Gobert half Serbian last night.
Because he's his daddy now? 🤣🤣🤣
hi Jason, love the show and the content, the only thing that could make it better is if the quality of the videos was a bit better, I know RUclips says 1080p but somehow the image is still pretty bad, please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just saying now that you're breaking down film this could be important, thanks for all your hard work
Shaq no show along with barakly on TNT nuggets game after picking against the nuggets and Shaq telling JOKIC in his MVP interview that he doesn’t deserve it is a big NO NO to say during a congratulations interview
Jokic out here performing Cirque de Soleil in his ballerina shoes
MAILBAG: Hi Jason! Jokic made me fall back in love with professional basketball again, and your great analysis has quickly brought me up to speed with the modern game. I loved this breakdown of Jokics post moves, so my question is. In the off season can you do breakdowns of other legendary players legendary moves? Like the pivot moves you showed in this video that Ant and Jok like to do, the step back Larry Bird popularized, or Iversons cuts/handles?
The funniest part about that inverse screen into the two handed slam from Jokic was that it's essentially Giannis' pet play going down the lane. Jokic running a Giannis play sounds so outlandish but it worked so well lol
I wonder if there's a tracker out there paying attention to the number of two-handed dunks Jokic has compared to Winning %... By my count, 100%. His Airless showing off the six inch vertical two-handed transition jam. Beautiful.
Great video. Perfect game from Joker
Joker is the most sublime player I think I've ever seen him. He is literally what Larry Bird would be playing in this era.
Definitely what Shaq said he took personal and that's something that Nikola will remember
This is basketball nerdery at the highest level. JT is the Jokic of basketball nerdness 🐐
Kareem was doing sky hooks off that pivot back in the day. That shot, like that pivot, is fundamental and non-sexy basketball but damn effective at all levels.
Jesus Christ I had to have two ads from the guy and an ad from RUclips itself so I have to fast forward 10 minutes for gods sake
freak of nature...
Awesome analysis of a consummate baller
A big thing that you fail to comment about Jokic's game is IQ and speed of decision making with the game. Sure, you can teach players all the fundamentals, and you make it sound like it's only impeccable fundamentals that makes Jokic great. But, what makes Jokic great is how his mind can slow the game down. What looks like frenetic chaos to other players, the game looks slow and simple to Jokic. That's something you can't teach. You are either born with that processing ability or you aren't.
You are allowed to lift your pivot foot off the ground if you shoot or pass the ball before landing your pivot foot back on the ground. This is explicitly allowed by the NBA rulebook and it has been so for at least the last 40 years (you can see Bodiroga doing this to team USA in Olympics final in 1996).
Check out NBA rulebook, rule no 10 section 13. Lifting your pivot foot and shooting or passing before landing your pivot foot back on the ground is explicitly allowed.
I have seen some morons say that it is illegal because their coach or referee said it was illegal. It is irrlevant what your coaches or referees say, the NBA rulebook decides what is legal and what is illegal and the NBA rulebook is crystal clear on this front. There is no room for intepretation here.
The Spotify audio its lower
Has anyone checked to see if Shaq is alright?
I learned that step through in like 2004 from a legendary MN Gopher women's ball player. Would have refs call me for travels 10 or 15% of the time.
Peace! I had to step in a tip my Yankee Fitted 🧢 to Arthur Fleck! He was magnificent and is the best player in the Game; along with a healthy Embid. Joker is also A CLASS ACT…definitely the best Basketball player on the court ..
Mailbag question:
If you could pick from ANY team in NBA history, which team do you think would have the best chance at guarding Jokic and the Jokic-Murray Pick n Roll?
Thanks for the great content!
I think the 2017 Warriors.
game over for Wolves when Gordon is Main Ball Handler to bring ball to the front so murray can do two man game with Jokic
there is no answer for wolves defense coz if that happen (Two Man game) the others player will be back to their role n back to be Functioned
35:25 I just want to see jokic play a 7v7 football game. how nasty would he be as a qb!!
Of course it was a fantastic night, but that first move is a travel. He lifts the pivot foot.
Jordan would be the 2nd best player in a series with Jokic
Nuggets fans IQ needs to be studied
Nevermind😂😂
Mailbag: there seems to still be many individuals who dislike Jokic. Much of the dislike used to stem from his unorthodox and “boring” style of play. Do you feel that is still the case or is it because he’s entering the level of inevitability that steph and the warriors carried which naturally divides fans?
I would say the lakers series of 2023 was better, he smoked AD and hit clutch shots against AD and Bron
Great offense will beat great defense in NBA, just like 2001 final Shaq cooking Mutombo, don't want to overblame Gobert, in fact Gobert still have the best plus-minus in the Timberwolves.
wasnt the series done after 2 games? lol
Shout out to the league for their decision to switch up the ref style when we went down 0-2 to MN, to make MN back off on defense. That was a smart move for many reasons:
1. People want offense style basketball, not boring defense ball. We want to see these amazing athletes score!
2. MN has a tiny fanbase so if they win the series that's bad for NBA's future. Ratings will go down.
3. Denver are the defending champs with 3 time MVP (should be 4 time) so there's serious legacies at stake, here. And that's serious $ down the line too.
4. The only people complaining is MN fans who know the history that playoffs have always been reffed more physical to allow D, so switching to soft reffing in the playoffs mid-series is unfair and unprecedented. But there are so few of them that this is really a decision that's about benefiting the most people possible.
5. And even for MN, their players make more money if the league succeeds. So if they stop to think about it, it's even better for them financially in the long run.
And more...
Get salty timberpups fanboi 😂😂
@bgdgdgdf4488 Huh? No I'm saying i *AGREE WITH* the decision to change up the ref style! It's a good thing for us I'm a Denver fan
@bgdgdgdf4488 I'm kinda mad they switched back for Game 6 but I think they're just doing that to extend it out to Game 7. Cuz the NBA don't allow small market team like MN to win that would be a huge financial loss.
@bgdgdgdf4488 Actually it was smart for them to script the huge win for MN before they lose in Game 7 on Sunday. Cuz MN fans would probably stop tolerating this after two decades of not being competitive and then all that. So it gives them some happiness before we knock em outta the playoffs on Sunday and go on to win the trophy 🏆
Gotta do something to keep the MN fans
@@Elipsis- dude nuggets lost by like 40+. I'm a huge nuggets fan, but this has nothing to do witth "scripting". Nuggets just sucked tonight.
And they say he is a bad defensive player
Mailbag Question: you've been talking a lot about adversity recently, and specifically how it brings out the best in specifically star players. The only adversity Boston has faced was the 2022 finals, and immediately after Ime was fired and ppl were traded. Do you think Boston would have at least made the finals last year and show better basketball character through this year if Ime was still the coach instead of Joe?
That lefty hook was off his left foot. I’m pretty sure that he took a similar right handed hook off his right foot. Kareem is probably rolling in his grave.
Wait…
Kendrick Perkins is wearing off on him. Just a little annual MVP racism.
Please someone explain to me how Gobert is the defensive player of the year when AD was literally the entire Lakers defense for the last 3 years….
And where did the Lakers and their defense rank for the season?
Gobert was the anchor and best defender on the league's best defense for the whole season.
Jokic was not playing at this level in the Lakers series and averaged, what, 26-13-9? This Jokic would pulverize AD.
Simply put, the way he's playing now, noone can defend him 1-on-1. And, as usual, He cannot be doubled anyways.
@@felixmalcherek2919 your comment was interesting and made sense until the last part. So Jokic was worse when he played the lakers but against the wolves he’s the MVP GOAT…
Yes this totally supports your argument.
The Wolves have plus defenders down the roster and especially on the perimeter. Now compare that to the lakers. Who have Vando, AD and Lebron. Using the teams defensive metric to support a dude that can’t defend outside of 5 feet is hilarious.
@@cheflev9884 Jokic was not playing with this level of aggressiveness against the Lakers. The two losses in this series were a wakeup call and the whole Nuggets squad played significantly better since.
In those 2 losses Jokic played like he did vs LA and was mostly contained by Minnesota. That Jokic (the one contained in those losses) was averaging 26-13-9 against LA.
Current Jokic would average 35-15-12 against AD and the Lakers.
Which is what he did Last year.
@@felixmalcherek2919 The point I made about Gobert has nothing to do with Denver. AD is a better defender than Gobert. We can have that conversation if you like.
Saying Gobert is better than AD at defense because Jokic scored more against the wolves and Gobert and therefore he would have done that against the lakers is ridiculous. The logic isn’t there.
Basketball is a 2 way sport. The wolves and lakers are not balanced teams. Lakers were 3rd ranked offense in the nba at the tail end of the season. Wolves were the best defense (down the roster).
Against the lakers Denver actually had to defend, chase and compete. AD and Bron were roasting Jokic and Murray on defense. That took wind away from their offense being forced to compete on both ends.
The Wolves on the other hand can’t score if they aren’t in transition. That makes defense so much easier. Offensively Kat and Gobert have done nothing to force Jokic to work on that end.
Haliburger.
That wasn't traveling? Looks like he picked up his pivot foot on that hook?
You can pick it up, you just can't let it land before you get the shot or pass off.
@@mr.americaneaglepolitics873 Thank you. Yeah I watched it again , love it.
Shaq is jealous and hating
What bettery way to prove Jokic is the MVP, is to destroy the " best" defender in the NBA.😊
Wouldn’t the real gangster sweep be going down 3-0 and then winning 4 in a row? Lol
Every time I hear step through, it makes my stomach hurt. That is a travel every day.
It makes my stomach hurt that people think that move is a travel. It is not a travel and it has never been a travel. You are allowed to lift your pivot foot if you pass or shoot the ball before you land your pivot foot back on the ground. This is explicitly allowed by the NBA rulebook, rule number 10, section 13 d.
If your coaches or referees said that was a travel, they are wrong. NBA rulebook decides what is and what isn't a travel, not coaches, not referees and the NBA rulebook is crystal clear on this front. By the way, FIBA rules and Euroleague rules are also crystal clear on this front and this move isn't travel there either.
Not a travel.
It may be technically allowed in the rule book, but for a long time basketball was taught in a way where that would be considered a travel and that was the impression for a very long time. Can't blame anyone for calling it a travel, even if it is legal.
@@Musso88 Those who taught you this was a travel were wrong. NBA Rulebook decides what is legal and what is illegal and this move has been legal both in the NBA and FIBA for at least 40 years (and you could also see tons of European players do this move 30-40 years ago, Dražen Petrović even did it in the NBA in the early 1990s). Shaq made this move many times too. Professional athletes and especially centers all knew this move was legal, it is casual people on the street who think this move is/was illegal.
Not a very good DPOY... do you think AD did better job defending Jokic than Gobert?
Yes, but Jokic was not playing this way in the Lakers series. No defender can really slow down this version of Jokic.
Shout out to women's basketball in general, it's great...but shut tf up, Harden put that gather step rule under the microscope. Maybe not the step-through aspect...but the rule as a whole.
Who do u really want to watch. Jordon, step, lebron or the joker. To be frank, the joker is not fun to watch, as skilled as he is.
First
These tnt dudes back to work after missing the mvp presentation to watch their “mvp” get cooked by luka ?
Gobert as DPOY is a joke. Jokic made Gobert look amateur.
I really wanted to like Rudy Gobert, but he looked like such a chump last night. Not even because he got rolled by the Serbian tank, everybody does rn. He lost a lot of my respect from all the elbows and shoves in the back he was throwing around. Really amateur stuff.
Jokic really does it to anyone tho. He did it to Bam and Anthony Davis last year, and they are good defensive players. It’s just that Jokic is that much better offensively
Rudy has also been annoying for a while. A lot of people don’t like him 😂 Weird antics and silly plays from him has been a habit for years
Lol. No single player can guard Joker one on one. Up until last night, Rudy had done the best job in the playoffs.
@@AccordingSign32 See, I didn't even know that and one series with him and I'm already out. It's good to know this is kind of a thing with the guy
6 minutes in with two ads? Gtfo
I dont know what the big deal is. He didnt even get a triple double 😜🙃🤣
He said it him self, he is playing against other coaches, players are just chees pieces))))
