It's wild that so many basketball fans still don't know how good Nikola Jokic is. He's arguably the best player in the world and has been the best player in these playoffs by a wide margin.
Embiid won the mvp, there are people who are sure that Embiid is better , lol I mean you can have a debate about it , but I think joker is way more better than embiid than fans, analyst would admit
Is this a conflation of the Dallas game in 2020 and the Jan 5th 2023 game? I'm having a bit of difficulty finding the "down by 50 at the half" game in Denver...
hea talking abt denver so its the one on the 5th he was probably just exaggerating a bit but they were down 34 by halftime and 43 by the 3rd so it probably was close to 50 at some point in that game
PG such a good dude..man you just feel his vibes. Humble, kind, driven, genuine...can't wait till this dude get his flowers n the level RESPECT he deserves as one of the greats of this generation
Jokic really has a lot of fans overseas like A LOT, especially in Asia like Taiwan, and Japan. I am super surprised about that when I traveled to Asia and saw him everywhere on their big TVs at the central stations
Yes very true. I lived in Singapore for many years and they all love Jokic. They are smart fans and don’t watch all the ESPN rubbish. And, they love their fantasy leagues where Jokic is king.
I wish, but he's taking so much sh.t lately, and not by his fault! Not a LAC fan, but Kawhi is the best American player when healthy, and it isn't that close.
I was actually at that “worst game” PG talked about. It was the first NBA game I ever went to, I was super hyped to see PG and Kawhi and obviously my home-town team in the Nuggets. I remember both PG and Kawhi got listed as questionable because PG had a leg injury and Kawhi was sick, but they both came out and played with a back-to-back on the road. That was a super cool experience, big fan of PG since the Pacers days and obviously was happy my Nuggets won. Love watching the show!
Jokic is so good but even “analysts” don’t give him credit cuz they don’t watch Nugget games. Like to accuse him of stat padding means you only watch highlights, not the whole game.
Jokic is a gifted scorer/passer as a big man - in his unconventional way. He will make mid-range and 3-point baskets with his high-arcing shot. Averaged 30.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game on 55/47/80 shooting splits in a postseason that is going down as one of the greatest of all time - is showing us that what he's got might just be unprecedented. Best C in the league and arguably best player in the world right now.
As a Denver native, what they’re saying is accurate. Hooping in Denver is miserable especially in the winter time. On the flip side, hooping in other places like the LA area is a breeze.
Something that not talked about as much because of how great he is in reb passing ect is his endurance. The man plays in mile high and never seems to get wear down and never gets hurt .
Not sure if he really has it but the feeling is that Jokic hits 100% of desperation 3s. It should be very demoralizing to see them go in. He isn’t Curry or Lillard.
@@JohnStockton7459 Giannis is better than Jokic? Down 1, game on the line, who do you give the ball to? The guy who's scared of going to the free throw line or the guy that will make the best play everytime? The choice is easy.
@@davide4725you recency bias gremlins are so funny go back and watch Giannis finals performance and watch jokics. I’m taking a player who plays like a prime shaq on both ends of the floor rather then a guy who’s a fake version of bron/magic
Another great interview. Shout out to JJJ and the Grizzlies (despite the multiple mouth breathers hating), and Paul George who was once my favorite player. Never really paid much attention to Jokic before this year but pleasantly surprised at the level of player he is.
Nuggets players have to re-adjust constantly as well, their Lungs shrink back down to typical capacity very shortly after leaving. They're just way more fit from Training there constantly. There's a reason endurance athletes train at High Elevations. It doesn't mean they don't also feel the affects of it.
This is straight up false. Your lungs don't shrink or grow when you go to and from altitude. Your body compensates by producing more erythropoietin (which in turn creates more red blood cells). The whole compensatory mechanism is a greater amount of RBCs increasing your oxygen carrying capacity. Source: med school.
Jokic is a more evolved big man. Duncan just does the fundamentals really well but doesn’t break trends. Jokic broke the trends that centers aren’t supposed to handle the ball, be the primary playmaker, and score from the outside.
i would like to see jokic more playing vs other great centers in 90...if he play than he wouldnt play as pg and shoot 3s,cupcake era fits him better lol
@@ziginaigraman you 90s dik riders DRASTICALLY overestimate those players from back then. Let me guess you think lebron wouldn’t last in 90s expansion era either? Clown
The most surprising thing about Jokic is that he was far from al that when he got drafted in the 2nd round, but he worked on his game and improved and improved and improved. How many recent Rookie of the Year winners have improved even a little bit? Some even degrade rapidly.
The man nikola jokic is so humble...he appreciates his teammates n give them a credit not like d others, d self proclaim king who gives all the credit for himself and blame his teammates when they lost...😁😂😂😂😅😅😅....
Yo, this is so random but I’ll be playing 2K while listening to this podcast, and literally almost every time you guys start talking about someone who I am actively playing with lol. last time was JJ redick, and Ja, and this time it’s AG lol 😅
Pretty sure I was at that game, it was January clippers had all their starters out and they shot 1/8 from 3 I think 2nd half none of the starters played and Jok had 25 11 & 12 🤣
It amazed me how many doofuses on the internet were like “The altitude isn’t an advantage because Denver has no championships”. That’s like saying Charles Barkley isn’t better than KCP because he has no rings…
Sad to see them cram gambling down out throats. Not how I would want my money, tricking Americans into the gambling world. The additions are coming, just hope all you that need there advertising money can live with the addictions that are around the corner. You are part of that pushing the product on us. Other then that not a bad show - the advertising of gambling.
i cant seem to rremember clippers down by 50 at half time againsts the nuggets, but the mavericks they have during the bubble it was 77-27. Luka didnt even go off that game, they were just missing lots of shots
I’m convinced all the people who attempt to discredit jokic have never actually watched a nuggets game up until this playoff run. Mainstream media shows literally have just been talking out of their asses.
@@Abbad1579 right so who’s finals was better jokics boring finals or Giannis 50 point game against the suns? I’ll take Giannis anyday who’s better offensively and a better defender then that cone
It's wild that so many basketball fans still don't know how good Nikola Jokic is. He's arguably the best player in the world and has been the best player in these playoffs by a wide margin.
Wait, who doesn’t know? This is a fake narrative lol. Everyone is worried about him. He is the best as of today.
Embiid won the mvp, there are people who are sure that Embiid is better , lol
I mean you can have a debate about it , but I think joker is way more better than embiid than fans, analyst would admit
2 time.MVP.and people still don't know him is pretty weitd
Because they are casuals and overvalue athletic / flashy play
I disagree with that narrative. If basketball fans don't know how good Joker is are they really basketball fans ?
JJJ's face when P said they were down by 50 at the half. Love the show fellas!
Nobody had 20 points or more, or even played 30 minutes in that game and they still lost by 31 points.
Is this a conflation of the Dallas game in 2020 and the Jan 5th 2023 game? I'm having a bit of difficulty finding the "down by 50 at the half" game in Denver...
Shoot memphis caught the same treatment when they came thru

yeah...he never do podcast/interview
Kawhi did Serge's show I think he might do Podcast P
We need russ more
He can't even play for his own team...😊
I wish, but he's taking so much sh.t lately, and not by his fault!
Not a LAC fan, but Kawhi is the best American player when healthy, and it isn't that close.
That’s such good insight for Joker’s offensive rebounds!! I don’t think I’ve heard someone explain it like JJJ just did!! 1:35
Regardless of how great Jokic is.... the Media and the casuals still dont know how great Jokic is
Right now he is the best player in the NBA

Nah its Giannis

I think the game PG is referring to was on 1/5/23 and they were down 66-32 at the half.
I was there that day. The next game nuggets were up by 30 against phx also 🤣
I was there that game it definitely had to be that one
y'all done

Great content like always PG, one of the best out there.
I remember being at basic training there was this chubby dude from Colorado and he was cooking people during PT runs.
If anybody is curious, Jan 5 2023 is the game PG is referencing when they lost to Denver.
Jokic best player in the league BY A FAR
Nah, Giannis. Recency bias
@@JohnStockton7459yeah, gotta be the guy who cant shoot the basketball in a sport called basketball :) lol
@@JohnStockton7459 Giannis can’t shoot the ball to save his life. His horrific shooting is more of a liability than jokers defense.

Would love to see a Jokic vs Duncan matchup. Wonder how that would go if they played during the same period
Jokic is a more evolved big man. Duncan just does the fundamentals really well but doesn’t break trends. Jokic broke the trends that centers aren’t supposed to handle the ball, be the primary playmaker, and score from the outside.
Timmy is guarding ag. The center gaurds the center.

This gotta be the funniest basketball podcast
I was there on that Denver vs clipper game…we got out at 3rd quarter cause it was boring. Denver whooped their ass😂😂
Solid clip!

Jokic is by far the best.
Nikola is the best 👏🏀🔥
He called him Jalen 🤣
"Jokic, Jokic, Jokic" - Coach Pop
My prediction: Aaron Gordon sacrificed TWO slam dunk wins for a ring.
losing by 50 in the first half is NASTY 😂😂
At this point it’s borderline racist to say he’s not the best player in the NBA.
You mayonnaise people are so delusional
As a Denver Nuggets fan I’m so dam happy we have The Joker
I live in Denver but why they act like we in Mount Everest hahahaha
45 seconds in and I'm on the floor😅
