- Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets have sustained first place for quite a while this season in the Western Conference. Throughout the NBA season, NBA Legends such as Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Shaq and Charles Barkley have had their opinions on the Joker and why he has dominated the league. Jokic has maintained his play and has been noted as the best center in the league with only Joel Embiid at that position to contest that praise.
Watch here: Nikola Jokic Will Win His 3rd Consecutive MVP Award...

Shaq was all about physical dominance: it was an individual play. Jokic is all about leadership: it is all about pulling the team together, making his teammates the best versions of themselves. I think Jokic is a more complete package than Shaq ever was.
Absolutely
totally
But shaq dun need to have the whole package. He is too unstoppable. That’s no purpose.
I haven't played Basketball, but Handball (Olympic, not American) on the highest youth level in Germany. I can only tell from my anecdotal experience, but ego has no place in these teams.
When a point is scored, it is considered a team effort - who ever lands the score, it's for the team.
So this idea of 'go give the shot to the person best in place to take it'-mentality was very much baked into us from the get go.
Even if we scored a goal and a mate was in a better position, our coach would give us shit.
I would take Shaq over any players, including Jordan. He's so Dominance.
Hes not an ego-maniac, ball-hogging player. He assists all his teammmates. Thats why that team is in the finals. They are the definition of teamwork. Great Job.
It’s refreshing in the modern nba. You just don’t see players like him anymore
Humility...it disarms American players who are so filled with ego. But he is sincere and genuine, that goes a long way in this world today! The fact that he really, truly doesn't care about the MVP makes him the best bet for it. These other guys are amazing (Joel, Giannis, Jayson) but no one makes his team mates better than Jokic. I think he has set his sights on the MVP of the finals!
Thank you
well said, thank you from Serbia.
That's because most American players come from the hood, where all you have is ego.
@@nenadzivic2457 I love Serbia. Most beautiful polite, ass kickin people on this planet.
Luka doncic is filled with ego and he’s not American.
Jokic amazes me every single night more than anyone in the league, his passing has highlight reels every game. Nuggets are 3-5 without Jokic, Sixers are 9-4 without Embiid. Bucks are 9-6 without Giannis. Those teams don't need them to be competitive, Nuggets fall apart without Jokic. By definition he's the MVP again...
I’m a Nuggets fan but the Bucks and Sixers both need their best players to be a legitimate contender
Lost to spurs with your MVP on the floor 😂
@@comp5092 that happened only then,but haters gonna hate.
Bro has to be one of the greatest leaders in history
@@comp5092 tee hee hee... one game is not and edict on a team.
Yoke's biggest talent is upsetting Nick Wrong and the ESPN angry brigade. Basketball is a collective sport and he has mastered it.
Don't forget Mr. Trippin On Perks. They were praying he would fall last night just to casually outperform Giannis and Embiid. Probably had to scrap their pre-written scripts bashing Jokic
@@JSauer21 So true.
I think he bring unity to Nuggets bcs teams spirit & brotherhood is well know tradition of serbian national team for the past 40 years
Joker's best skill is being pure basketball player first rather than an athlete.
Focus and calmness; he never gets too up or too down. He's the Zen master of professional basketball. But you better not give him a cheap shot.
I know right. He won’t back down
Kobe, Curry, Jok.
When a guy is that unselfish, and makes everyone else look better, it creates a cohesion and a spirit that makes it hard to lose.
A "Dynasty Builder" in the making, if All buy in....
Joker special for sure
I think the best way to put it is, he’s very skilled and high IQ.
@@hoopersln for sure
Happened before. So it's not crazy. If he deserves he should get it 3rd, and I think he deserves it.
@@DavidNovakovic He definitely deserves it
You’re right, Shaq and Jokic are quite different. Jokic can make free throws.
I think you described his most important skill. Because of his height and shooting skills you might want two guys on him. Because of his passing skills, he punishes this. He leaves you no choice.
He’s too skilled, especially for his height and IQ.
Nikola's best attribute is his heart giving him his best skill which is unselfishness.
when i watched the joker play i cant stop myself from smiling.
He is my favorite center in todays game .. a big man that he can score rebound and assist not only that but he did that in double digits , a triple double center .. he had changed the game indeed and it’s so fun to be watched ..
Jokic is a once in a lifetime basketball player who demonstrates the highest level of skills combined with amazing leadership ability as well as basketball IQ. No one like him
Jokic interferes with the opponent's defense in an unusual way. Like a foal in a field of dandelions 💮🐎💮. A whole new sensibility in the game 🥰
He's all about the game, loving it. That means he's not selfish in any aspect, he does what need's to be done, posting passing scoring taking a break, whatever, he has the skill to do so, so that his team stays up front. And he's evolving. Although his scoring is less then last seasons, it feels like his impact is stronger. He's peripheral vision and depth perception of the field is just incredible, as well as the awareness of the movement of his mates.(I guess thats what they call IQ). Really Amazing every game. Who the f... cares if his MVP this season or not, Basketball fans are in for a treat every time he's on the court.
What a pleasure to watch this remarkable player. Have we seen a player like this? Touch, footwork, vision, IQ. Based on all his abilities, he has to be the best player in the game ATM. Hard to argue this with his numbers, and now leading a team to the promise land. Best part is, we get to see more of him and his game will highly influence future players.
Thanks Nikola - you are a pleasure to watch- a totally unselfish superstar.
I just have to shake my head and say WOW..After a long time disconnected I got a peek at the playoff and when I saw this guy from Denver I was immediately stunned.. He is AMAZING on all fronts..
Welcome back! Hopefully our content can reconnect you with basketball!
Jokic makes his team better than anyone else in the league. He is the MVP again but in this current society and culture he may be snubbed/cheated.
Jokić is a great mix of the few great basketball players ever (It is left to us. which players we have to mix to get a cocktail named Jokić). But as a center, he is greatest ever especially for assistances!!!!
He is also a good man ready for joke at any time! HE IS A GOAT!!!!
Mr. TRUE MVP!!!!
GO NUGGETS!!! GOOOO!!!
I dont watch much nba and never watched jokic until recently but wow he is something else. He is probably the only player that reminds me of Bird. His basketball IQ is off the charts and he doesnt look athletic or fast but he has his own style and is super efficient. Some of his passes are insane. Jokic is definetly the best passsing bigman ever no doubt about it. He makes everyone better and nearly averaged a damn triple double and now hes finals mvp with a ring. Jokic is amazing and already a legend.
His humbleness is what is Nikola Jokić's greatest attribute. He doesn't care about winning individual awards. He doesn't care about building a "brand" through social media. He only cares about winning and will do whatever it takes to get it accomplished. With his multitude of abilities that he has and how he's able to integrate them with his teammates, the Denver Nuggets, still being a relatively young team, will be vying for championships for quite some time still.
Great video. I'm a Denver Nuggets fan. No matter how they end up, it's just a honor and privilege to see the unselfish effort every night.!
🙏🏽 Thank you!
Jokic reminds me a young Arvydas Sabonis!!! I'm surprise nobody mention that!!!
He has a fantastic ability to see his team players location on floor so he can give them a clean pass and that what his amaxing.
It's Jokic's teamwork talent that makes him MVP in addition to his skills and BB IQ.
Jokic Most Important Skill is his *Generosity* with the whole Team!!!!!!!!!
No Ego, no trash talk, no bullshit, only Generosity with your Team Colleagues!!!
Fabulous upload just passed Wilt for most playoff triple doubles AMAZING
My hometown team, the Denver Nuggets, have just swept the Lakers on their way to The Finals for the first time eve! This town is going to go ape-shit when and if we win it all. Frankly, I don't think The Heat has a chance. I'm so proud of this team. All awesome guys - 🏀🏀🏀
#Serbia #Jokic
*This is our year Nuggets Nation!!!*
Nuggets gave Jokić a loving home, millions of hearts united in support. I thank you for that. From Serbia with love ❤
@@a_l_e_k_sandra Thank you for making Jokic ♥️
Nicola shooting style reminds me a little of Dirk Novinski and that’s a compliment. Fluid moves with the ball and the release for the shot.
The bottom line for Jokic is, being center comes is just a consequence of his height. He wasn't always the tallest so he got to do other roles and likes all of them. This is how he got to be keen in other roles.
Idemooo breeee🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Jokic is the MVP it’s obvious how his team thrives when he is on the court. When he isn’t you can barely recognize the team!
Kudos for properly pronouncing Nikola name... I mean, how hard is it for all the other pundits
When I look Jokic playing, it's like an adult who play with children. He doesn't make an effort. It's pretty easy for him.
Jokic "I'm just here to do my job"
He's not just a "white Shaq", he's also a white Magic Johnson and a 7 footer Steve Nash; a center who plays like a point guard! He's a complete package and should have been the MVP!
Jokic reminds me of both Magic and Bird always getting their teammates the ball and can't be stopped when he shoots. Congratulations to Denver for winning their first championship last night 6/13/23 Jokic kept them going down the stretch against Miami 4-1 and the last game 94 to 89 for the title 😀.
I agree he has great basketball IQ. But his vision is really what makes him special, he sees things that very few see and he anticipates extremely well. A very special player
I watched Peyton for years as he racked up MVPs. I think he deserved it the most for the season his missed with neck surgery as the Colts without him ended up with the worst record that year. The key to most valuable player is making your teammates better. I can’t think of anyone in any sport who does that better than Joker
Nikola: game looks like poetry. Smooth and effortless.
Anything but 3*MVP will be a theft of unprecedented proportions and a shame for the NBA league!
3x MVP but no finals appearance yet? Why isn’t Jokic held to the standard that Giannis had to go through?
@@frniuu2061 He is. It's a regular season award. Take both players off the their teams. 76ers have a winning record and Nuggets have a losing record. Simple
he has so much fun , and is pressure FREE, extraordinary vison of the entire court, a soft stroke, accompanied by the most accurate passes..What can you say? Denver will be around a while........
He's a mix of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. That's a very very scary mix to have to deal with for the opposing team
Jokic MVP ❤ 🇷🇸 !!!
Jokic most important skill is him being slow. He makes the quickest defender look slower than him
Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić are very similar with that in mind.
Embid sits half a season and gets MVP jokic plays every game and killing it every night and they robbed that men for his 3rd straight MVP
when you think faster you don't have to be quicker.
True basketball players understand how rare and amazing Joker is. Then you have Kendrick Perkins.
It's nice to see TEAM BASKETBALL is still more valuable than the individual 3-pointer.
His most important skill/trait is being humble.
Being as humble as jokic never hurt anyone
He deserves a ring.
Not that the humble jokic would care but if he keeps playing like this he will be in the goat conversation.
My top 3 are Joker, Giannis (close tie) and Luka(definitely 3rd because he hasn't managed to build his team around him). Any 2 playing together would be unstoppable IMO as a team. Joker has the ability to do this for an entire game - That's one reason why he's my MVP. The other is that he's proven he can lead his team all the way to the trophy.
He’s about to lead the nuggs to their first championship! 🏆
great video !
Too much pressure is on this guy, i hope he doesn't losses it...
When I look at how he plays, his vision and understanding of momentum and angles must be extraordinary! 😂
With all due respect Shaq, he's not you, he's Nikola Jokic.
Shaq with jocic mentality is unstoppable.. but Shaq comparing to jocic?I pick jocic because of his passing ability
Enjoy watching him, and his personality seems nice
Samo napred buraz!
We just witnessed the NEXT STEP! 🏀🏆
Please balance the audio on your inserted interviews so we can hear the comments of the experts you're talking about.
3 back to back MVP’s is crazy
Basketball IQ, he knows where all his teammates will be and who will be open.
im a hard core bulls fan . reggie Miller a battleship gunner i respect miller and the old nba guys . this guy is a dangerous guy jokers are usually very dangerous
He thoroughly understand the game
2019-23 and will continue obviously but those years of jokic has been nothing short of amazing. He’s truly a top 25 player and climbing
Next Year All Star Game i dont wanna see no more Team LeBron vs Team Giannis
Its gotta be Team Joker vs Team Embiid
Watching game 2 against Lakers I noticed something.. Jokic runs his ass off getting back on 'D'. 7 ft tall
nearly 300 lbs. And running his ass off in the 4th qtr. Fucking special kind of player.
He is humble and smart.
Best big guy I've seen in a long time
He has an extra eye that no one can see which is why he can make so many good passes, the only other center who could do that was Arvydas Sabonis, which the Americans never saw in his peak. ANd if he doens't have an extra eye, he can see a second in the future so he knows where people are going to be. Or both.
if he aint MVP X3 its fixed
HUMILITY, and BEING GENUINE!!❤
Shaq never passed nor did he raise his teammate’s skill level. The difference between a bully and a ninja would be an appropriate comparison
Shaq's game is like 1/3 of what Jokic brings.
Denver & Jokic Chip Nr.1 droppin in..
He should have won the MVP again
Wait for Sundays video! We will try to debunk the debate! But he should’ve won for sure.
Well I think he’s talented in attributes and what he brings to the game speaks for itself he likes his play do the talking Nikolai doesn’t tell you shows you !
Shaq didn't say that. It's not true. Jokic is a top of the key passing center. Shaq was a post up player who didn't shoot three's and couldn't make a free throw to save his life. The two are tall and they played basketball. That's about all they have in common. I remember "Hack-a-Shaq". There is no "Hack-a-Joker."
HVALA za analizu i za komentare👍👏🇷🇸
The best passing big ever.is done and over the only question is "has he passed Magic for the best passer ever?" Yet
Magic & Nikola are both great players and men of character … wouldn’t want to choose who is better
Of course only Legends can recognize Legends.
As a 75 yo man who's first basketball memory is watching Jerry West play at University of Richmond, Jokic is just a wonder to watch!! A person is born with bone structure to jump high. Nothing great there. But to work the basketball court like a Chess Master is far more interesting and satisfying. A beautiful, perfectly placed pass to a streaking teammate is far more interesting to see than a jump shot. The great point guards are always the most interesting player on the court. Jokic ranks with great point guards and he 7'1" and weighs 300 pounds!!!
ESPN turned it into a race award. Joel embiid as MVP is embarassing. I said it before jokic won
I like this guy he's the new kid in town 😊😊😊
Talent and guts
💪 DOMINATE TALENTED BASKETBALL TEAM LEADER ❣️
Watching this afther he won championship is gold :D
His ball-handling finesse shooting and looking for the open man
Jokic possess two of the most important skills a basketball player needs. Availability, he misses very few games. And his intellect, each game he's probably the most intelligent guy on the floor which allows him to do the things he wants. Atm his only weakness if any is his blocking ability. Apart from that all his other skills are superb.
His modesty
Job Done and Well Done Joker
Now he will be a Finals MVP which is the Real MVP he wanted. Jokic will have his 💍 in 5. Like Naughty by Nature, but they cant yoke the Joker. Legend.
This video has aged gracefully
Thank you Shaq and Barkley, you know a true legend when you see one.
People make comments about the fact that Jockic having no definition or athleticism but they're missing the point. Jokic played water polo and he has the build of a swimmer. His passing skills came from that sport. He's translated those skills into basketball and he's plenty athletic but he's not athletic with a typical basketball players build or style. Yet he's super strong. Just watch him bull right through defenders and his different kind of athleticism is perplexing to American basketball fans.
