And about mentalities, Bird, Duncan was more like Joker, and I prefered humbles and intelligents guys. It's more because NBA doesn't accept him and his supremacy that he was disrespected by medias . He stays a better example for young People than Lebron or all of other players. And if some Europeans and Internationals players have more succes with fans now, it's because of their game, their mentalities and qualities. There's a big difference betwenn what the NBA's system expected to make monney, whith the help of medias, and what supporters like..
this hate towards joker just proves that everybody will always find a reason to hate on anybody lol you could be the most nonchalant guy in the world and someone will still be like, " yeah, i dont like that".
I'm 80 years old. I remember the first time I saw Jim Brown run with a football. I remember the first time I saw Charles Barkley do a breakaway layup with his left hand . i remember the first time I ever saw Rafa Nadal. I knew the instant I saw those guys that they were generational players. Nikola Jokic is just such a talent.
Media want someone who cry when he won the championship. Say "I always dreamed of this since my childhood" on an NBA trophy. Someone who worship NBA and shape his mentality and body for it. Media needs this narrative because they feed on this. They don't want people to think on how they are making millions just by commenting/overeacting on other hoopers games. It's like politics. Jokic represents everthink they hate. No athletic body, no alfa dog actions, no tears for trophies, no drama and no worshipping but still winning all the trophies. So they create a drama on him... For Luka it's something else...
Yeah because millions of people wish they were in his shoes. He's making millions playing a game that people have dreamt of playing at his level, reached the pinnacle of it, and he loses the trophy. How does that read to you?
its simple... he is not athletic, he is not a show off, he is not from a big market and he is not BLACK..... before you call me racist lets see another GOAT and i mean GOAT top 5 of all time Tim duncan - not athletic, not a show off, not from a big market, not from main land USA, No one gave any respect to him despite winning a majority of all his games in his entire career. he is the most successfull player ever and no respect... please the NBA is woke and stupid
You are wrong on some facts. 1) Duncan is great-but his twin tower was even greater-check advanced stats/sabermetrics, I mean the underrated David Robinson. And others were even better than The Admiral. 2) Duncan is not the most successful by any measure-although may be top 10, definitely close...And if defined (idiotically, since a team overall ability does not define individual prowess), others have more championships, Bill Russel more than TWICE as many. 3) No reason to inject politics, "woke" there, as if right-wing propaganda. And it is UNwoke to be racist. And The Buddha means "one who is awake". That the movement has some excesses does not mean it is not overwhelmingly good. That would be like cherry-picking white mass-0murderers & claiming Caucasians are "bad". 😏
I just find the idea of hating on Jokic really funny because he will legitimately not care. Like bro is just here to play good basketball and then raise horses and hasn't been on social media publicly since 2021 lol
@@thetwiggamingchannel9578i'm not sure he doesn't care, I think he uses humour to respond to this hate and his magic on the court.. And it's the reason why medias are always trying to find new critisize but it's always more ridiculous and obvious.
I believe that sometimes is the aspect and playstyle for example he got eliminated in game 7 but he only lost by 8 and made 34 pts and 14 rebound oh but it is a failure,meanwhile anthony edwards in game 7 dropped 16 pts on 6/24 fg and 2/8 3 point shooting but its mj's son
@@logomarkz thats what im talking about,spurs solid franchise during his 18 year career and he never lost a playoff NEVER he also made till game 6 to semifinals in his last season
@@logomarkz There is also a ton of irrational hatred for Lebron. ANYONE playing as many post-season games as LeBron, far more than say MJ, will have bad games. But he & Jordan are EASILY the most accomplished individual performers in the post-season. Use advanced stats to add up all a player does to create value, & subtract demerits such as missed shots/% & turnovers.
Jokic is just a regular guy clocking in/out on time. On his day off, he focuses on his hobbies and does not think about work. His teammates like him because he does his job well. Even so, he keeps getting the Employee of the Year award. HR and Admin hate him.
3 mvps 1 fmvp and 1 Chip in the last 4 years nikola can guve a fuck what the Media thinks about him he avrraiged 26 pog 12 and 9 durring the last 4 seasin so media 🖕
I saw lot of interviews with current and former NBA players. Some of them thought SGA was MVP some of them went for Embiid or Luka. When asked about who with would they like to play, every single one of them said "Joker" instantly, without hesitation. True basketball fan does appreciate Jokic. But for NBA, the game is just a vehicle to make money. They need a "show". Needless to say, Joker sucks in it, ha ha
Thanks for the comparison. As far as I'm concerned: If you hate Jokic, you hate great basketball. He is clearly the best player on the court every time I see him. Nobody's perfect. The Joker and the Nuggets had a bad series and couldn't repeat. No bench. Maybe the word 'hate' gets thrown around a bit too lightly.
There's always been terrible narratives and agendas in the NBA media. As a Rocket's fan, James Harden got plenty of this same disrespect, but for different arbitrary reasons. Harden was flashy, marketable, and had plenty of talent, but he was a 'diva' who (seemingly) didn't have to work hard to be at the top of the league. He would rather be at the club than at practice, but he'd show up the next day and be the best player on the floor. Predictably, the media called him lazy and discredited his success because they wanted to prop up someone else instead. While I'm not saying Harden is directly comparable to Jokic (Jokic has actually won in the playoffs), the NBA media loves to find excuses to make someone the next big thing at the expense of someone who deserves praise for what they're doing now.
I'm pretty big into both sports and gaming and what's happening to Nikola Jokic reminds me of a Super Smash Bros Melee player by the name of Hungrybox. Hungrybox is considered one of the "Five Gods" of Melee because of their sheer dominance over an entire era where nobody but those five won any tournaments where any one or more of them attended. Hungrybox was incredibly efficient and during his prime was a literal mountain that you could not climb. The problem was, the way everyone else played the game was hyper aggressive and constantly trying to stunt on their opponents. Hungrybox's play was defensive and punished opponents for their hyper aggressive play. Because of this, he was dubbed boring by a large chunk of the community and started getting immense amounts of hate; especially when he started destroying everyone during his three year period as #1 in the world. Haters are gonna hate the top no matter what and that hate gets multiplied if you aren't entertaining enough.
Jealousy. Sometimes racism. Sometimes because people only see his vertical and his speed. Jokic is a beast! The great players that play against him know.
3X mvp, 1st and only player to leade post season in points, rebounds, and assists, 1x champ, 1x FMVP, greatest passing big man, #1 PER, 4th all time triple double leader (soon to be 3rd). Definitely hall of fame.
the uronic part is that his game is actually interesting and entertaining, the way he shoots deep 3s over good defenders, or how great his footwork is in the paint, it's all interesting to watch
@@HawkThunder907nigga the average american doesn’t care if he’s a serb or not. you think shaq is hating on jokic because he’s serbian? he could be croatian and it wouldn’t make a difference.
Why do you think people would hate on him for being a Serb, Most Americans don’t really know we’re that is and just consider him European, the biggest reason is people want to see an American win, just to prove we’re the best, the racism and family man stuff is just wrong.
@@HawkThunder907 most Americans don’t even know Yugoslavia was a thing, most Serb hate is just from the Balkans or stuck up Europeans that care about that.
Put yourself in the mind of an american, you were told all your life that you are the best of the entire multiverse in basketball, with a lot of player that act like they are some sort of demi god, and now you see that your "dominance" doesn't exist anymore and that europeans are dominating, MVP is serbian and the second on the list is from slovania, DPOY is french, ROTY and also the one who many see as having the potential of becoming a real legend is french, and for the second time in a row, 1st draft pick is french. New europeans legend appears every year meanwhile most of american one are retiring one by one. For a country with such a fragile ego, thats harsh to swallow
The treatment Jokic gets from ESPN is a big part of why I don't waste time watching ESPN anymore. They openly sell their biases as truths and retcon history. Long live LeKing...
The man has less help and it's sad to see that the Paul Georges and Klays of the world don't want to play with him but rather with players who aren't as good as him.
Question: If the MVP is decided by a 'panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada', aka the media, how come he's won 3 MVPs? I honestly don't understand, can someone explain?
Because lots of the voters are true basketball fans and nerds, and simply going by the stats/math, Jokic is always on top. He literally leads every advanced stat in the game for the past 5 seasons!
Think it’s just weird when he had a better, championship proven roster, minus one player leaving, didn’t lead his team to the 1 seed, didn’t have better stats than Shai, and wins MVP over him, especially when Shai was leading the youngest number 1 seed ever, with no rebounders on the roster. Just doesn’t make sense. You can’t perform worse and then be rewarded for it.
I mean tbh doncic should have won at least one of those. Dudes already 5 time first team all nba. Thats more than Steph or Westbrook. It makes some of these black players sick to their stomach to see white boys tearing it up. They will always hate jokic and doncic
Jokic is playing together with 55 rated nobodies compared to the mvp compatition, and still delivers those stats. yeah, he might not win the games, but he is delivering stats, better than any of the others teams or his teams stats. hence mvp. not hard to figure out this one.
From a non-american it seems to be that the US ethos is so geared towards capital that they cannot fathom someone not being interested in fame, shoes deals, marketing onself as a personality and brand. Fulfilment without commercialism does not compute to the average american
I agree that Jokic was robbed in 2023, should have been MVP. In 2024, the race was close between Shai and Jokic and even Luka at the end. Both Jokic and Shai deserved it, if Luka had a better seed, it would have been his. So i actually agree with everything here but you've made a big and stupid mistake. Not once did you talk about Luka's, and most importantly, Shai's numbers. In order to figure out wether a Candidate deserved the MVP award or not, we have to see what the other Candidates numbers are like. By not showing Shai's and Luka's numbers as well as the seed of the teams, your video essay doesn't come close to proving Jokic deserved MVP. I can already see the incoming replies. "Well obviously we already know the numbers". Listen, the video is trying to convince you Jokic was fully deserving of his MVP title in 2024. If it wants to be taken seriously, it needs to show what Shai's numbers were like. He went out of his way to show Shaq's numbers and Hakeem's numbers, but he can't for Shai ?
2:10 That's really not fair, and I'm not a Jokic hater at all. It's not even about era, it's about the fact that it's just counting stats. Hakeem's stats are great, but his D? Unreal, held Ewing to like 32% shooting over like 7 games, which is insane.
First ever basketball match ive seen... USA vs Serbia on the Olympics... Jokic stood out... I didnt know who he was and was like yup im rooting for Serbia now or well this dude! Then I found out abt his personality and achievements and lemme tell u... I am a fan of Nikola Jokic!
This year was obviously Jokic, so was last year. I don't think he should've gotten the award in 2021/22 season due to being in the sixth seed, that one should've been Giannis, but Jokic should still have 3 mvp as he was better than Embiid, and I think part of him winning was being scammed last year. I think he's probably won his last one but he's been tremendously good the last 4 years, and definitely deserved mvp over Shai and Luka. It'll likely be Shai or Luka next year, but Luka was the fifth seed and Shai just wasn't as good as Jokic this year.
Damn, Jokic is like a real life MP. Plays better than anyone in his position in the entire league sometime consecutive years after years and they still pretend like he's averaging 7.8pts 0 reb and 1 ast a night...just like during some of those 2K MP story lines😆 all because he's not obnoxious or narcissistic.
If Nikola was an American or he happened to be black the narrative would be different. He is the complete opposite of what the most recent NBA stars have been , thus the media and former players attack him because they are threatened by him in a manner of speaking.
Jokic is an ordinary white chubby guy.. no athlete-chamberlain-Shack style..no swag-no bs-no afair-no brag ..just whooping ass on the court with high IQ play-crazy passes and alien shots.. he is just doing his job.... after working.. going home to horses-doesn't care of the stats and titles debate best big guy, mvp,goat debates,interviews ...Duncan style ..most underated player..Nothing to make money of for the media..thats why he is special.
I love it when people say “statistically, he’s one of the weakest MVPs of all time,” when the statistics literally say the exact opposite.

I love shaq but you really can't listen to his takes on the nba.
He's just a black racist
Jokic played 3 play-in teams and lost in the 2nd round the next season n yall say the nuggets are a "dyansty" and an amazing team. Gtfoh, he arguably had the easier run to the finals of all time.
@@TheDiesel408played against the 3 best rim defenders and averaged damn near triple double
@@v-li6491 when did I talk abt individual performance??? You jokic glazers have no argument. Gobert AD and Bam weren’t even dpoy finalists in 2023 how were they the best rim protectors? Yall gotta wake up this was the most hyped “dynasty” of all time
@@TheDiesel408 I'm just stating the facts bruh not even glazing. And ur right they got an easier run but is it really their fault that the Celtics couldn't beat an 8th seeded Miami heats to reach the finals..?
A big part of the hate is cuz he is from Serbia too same thing is happening to Novak Djokovic
Djokovic actually has reasons outside the sport as to why he's disliked, particularly his stance on vaccination.
@user-pq4dq6bj2u wow, you are probably one of the most braindead "people" I've seen. Ðoković is building schools in serbia, he is building hospitals, and you want to tell me, he deserves hate for not being vaccinated? You are ridiculous 😂
@@user-pq4dq6bj2u We all feel about vaccination the same way here and share the same opinion. There's no reason to take something you're being forced to take if you are just fine and healthy without it. I guess the West is fine with taking whatever their government tells them to take. It doesn't work like that here.
@@petarmaras6807 There was a reason why vaccination was forced, and it was to reduce the rate of mortality for the greater population. It's not about whether you are fine and healthy as an individual. It's about how you affect others that aren't.
@@user-pq4dq6bj2u That too! 100%
He's playing basketball while the rest want to be in media spotlight
Everyone disrespects him, cause they know he doesnt give af and respond.
@@kjjr3270 he could with sarcatics allusions when he responds to journalists. It's a reason why I love his Itw.
And it's not the reason why they disrespected him but because of jalousy and racism.. Some legacies are in danger with Joker and they don't accept that.
Well that's the answer. NBA is driven by the fans. If you disrespect the fans or you aren't engaged, you won't get respected. Remember that it was the Superstars (Magic and MJ) who made NBA what it is today. He earns the disrespect he gets.
As much as NBA is a competition. It is also a business. And Jokic is bad for business.
@@daveviloria3602 perrhaps is it time to change NBA's and WNBA's mentalities and the trashing and flashing players whith big egos and no intelligence, who are the reason why lot of people deserted NBA durind the 15 last years are no more attractive.
And about mentalities, Bird, Duncan was more like Joker, and I prefered humbles and intelligents guys.
It's more because NBA doesn't accept him and his supremacy that he was disrespected by medias . He stays a better example for young People than Lebron or all of other players. And if some Europeans and Internationals players have more succes with fans now, it's because of their game, their mentalities and qualities. There's a big difference betwenn what the NBA's system expected to make monney, whith the help of medias, and what supporters like..
Good not being engaged in social media won’t be distracted by nonsense like this
We Serbs are used to it (hate & media lies)!
true
this hate towards joker just proves that everybody will always find a reason to hate on anybody lol you could be the most nonchalant guy in the world and someone will still be like, " yeah, i dont like that".
lets be honest, if jokic is black, he would get the respect he deserves, its racism from the blacks, jealousy from players, idiocy from media
You know what they say: "white men can't jump"
You know absolutely nothing
Yup😅
Of course a CHOKIC fan is racist 😂😂
true.shaqić,perkinsić,arenasić are racist mf
I'm 80 years old. I remember the first time I saw Jim Brown run with a football. I remember the first time I saw Charles Barkley do a breakaway layup with his left hand . i remember the first time I ever saw Rafa Nadal. I knew the instant I saw those guys that they were generational players. Nikola Jokic is just such a talent.
Media want someone who cry when he won the championship. Say "I always dreamed of this since my childhood" on an NBA trophy. Someone who worship NBA and shape his mentality and body for it.
Media needs this narrative because they feed on this. They don't want people to think on how they are making millions just by commenting/overeacting on other hoopers games. It's like politics.
Jokic represents everthink they hate. No athletic body, no alfa dog actions, no tears for trophies, no drama and no worshipping but still winning all the trophies. So they create a drama on him...
For Luka it's something else...
When Serbia won Bronze there were almost tears in his eyes on the balcony in Belgrade.😂🇷🇸
Yeah because millions of people wish they were in his shoes. He's making millions playing a game that people have dreamt of playing at his level, reached the pinnacle of it, and he loses the trophy. How does that read to you?
its simple... he is not athletic, he is not a show off, he is not from a big market and he is not BLACK.....
before you call me racist lets see another GOAT and i mean GOAT top 5 of all time
Tim duncan - not athletic, not a show off, not from a big market, not from main land USA, No one gave any respect to him despite winning a majority of all his games in his entire career. he is the most successfull player ever and no respect... please the NBA is woke and stupid
Couldn't have said it better
You are wrong on some facts.
1) Duncan is great-but his twin tower was even greater-check advanced stats/sabermetrics, I mean the underrated David Robinson. And others were even better than The Admiral.
2) Duncan is not the most successful by any measure-although may be top 10, definitely close...And if defined (idiotically, since a team overall ability does not define individual prowess), others have more championships, Bill Russel more than TWICE as many.
3) No reason to inject politics, "woke" there, as if right-wing propaganda.
And it is UNwoke to be racist.
And The Buddha means "one who is awake".
That the movement has some excesses does not mean it is not overwhelmingly good.
That would be like cherry-picking white mass-0murderers & claiming Caucasians are "bad". 😏
I just find the idea of hating on Jokic really funny because he will legitimately not care. Like bro is just here to play good basketball and then raise horses and hasn't been on social media publicly since 2021 lol
@@thetwiggamingchannel9578i'm not sure he doesn't care, I think he uses humour to respond to this hate and his magic on the court.. And it's the reason why medias are always trying to find new critisize but it's always more ridiculous and obvious.
I believe that sometimes is the aspect and playstyle for example he got eliminated in game 7 but he only lost by 8 and made 34 pts and 14 rebound oh but it is a failure,meanwhile anthony edwards in game 7 dropped 16 pts on 6/24 fg and 2/8 3 point shooting but its mj's son
Factos
Tim Duncan destroying everyone and winning 5 rings, but playstyle not flashy: Forgotten
LeChoke: seen as a second coming of God.
@@logomarkz thats what im talking about,spurs solid franchise during his 18 year career and he never lost a playoff NEVER he also made till game 6 to semifinals in his last season
@@logomarkz There is also a ton of irrational hatred for Lebron. ANYONE playing as many post-season games as LeBron, far more than say MJ, will have bad games. But he & Jordan are EASILY the most accomplished individual performers in the post-season. Use advanced stats to add up all a player does to create value, & subtract demerits such as missed shots/% & turnovers.
A lot of people in the NBA feel threatened that a white European is the clear best player.
Ironic that Shakh, a player who never learned to shoot a free throw is critizising jovic so heavily
He's just a racist bully with to much money
They be disrespecting my Serbian neighbour too much man...
Black racism
Doesn’t exist
Regardless of who your favorite player is, you have to admit... Nikola Jokic is better.
What if your favorite player is Jokic? Is Jokic better than Jokic? :D
@@NoahLinden depends on the day.
Gladly, Jokic is my favorite player🇷🇸
Giannis clears
tbf, luka deserved it this season. jokic should’ve won last year, not this one.
Racism/Jealousy pure and simple just like Caitlin Clark.
He's been the best player on the planet for nearly half a decade now
Decade???
I always liked Nikola's "I don't give a shit" attitude
Jokic is just a regular guy clocking in/out on time.
On his day off, he focuses on his hobbies and does not think about work.
His teammates like him because he does his job well.
Even so, he keeps getting the Employee of the Year award.
HR and Admin hate him.
3 mvps 1 fmvp and 1 Chip in the last 4 years nikola can guve a fuck what the Media thinks about him he avrraiged 26 pog 12 and 9 durring the last 4 seasin so media 🖕
All that with craaaazy efficiency, historic level!
@@andrejm77 true
It should be 4 MVPs, and Jamal Murray ruined Jokic's postseason this year, so it should actually be two titles.
@@NoahLinden yeah agree with you
@@NoahLinden NGL I agree with ya, and include MPJ in there and the Front Office's horrendous Bench
I saw lot of interviews with current and former NBA players. Some of them thought SGA was MVP some of them went for Embiid or Luka.
When asked about who with would they like to play, every single one of them said "Joker" instantly, without hesitation.
True basketball fan does appreciate Jokic. But for NBA, the game is just a vehicle to make money. They need a "show". Needless to say, Joker sucks in it, ha ha
I can never hate him as a young fan who recently got into NBA he’s easily my favorite player
What's not to love? I don't know anyone who "hates" Jokic. It's just the LeMedia who takes issue with him.
Thanks for the comparison. As far as I'm concerned: If you hate Jokic, you hate great basketball. He is clearly the best player on the court every time I see him. Nobody's perfect. The Joker and the Nuggets had a bad series and couldn't repeat. No bench.
Maybe the word 'hate' gets thrown around a bit too lightly.
They did the same with the tennis GOAT Novak Djokovic who is on his way to become the greatest athlete of all time!
Bottom line is talent should be admired, not one’s personality. But NBA Media doesn’t make money that way
There's always been terrible narratives and agendas in the NBA media. As a Rocket's fan, James Harden got plenty of this same disrespect, but for different arbitrary reasons. Harden was flashy, marketable, and had plenty of talent, but he was a 'diva' who (seemingly) didn't have to work hard to be at the top of the league. He would rather be at the club than at practice, but he'd show up the next day and be the best player on the floor. Predictably, the media called him lazy and discredited his success because they wanted to prop up someone else instead. While I'm not saying Harden is directly comparable to Jokic (Jokic has actually won in the playoffs), the NBA media loves to find excuses to make someone the next big thing at the expense of someone who deserves praise for what they're doing now.
Jokic pissing off the NBA media is the cherry on top of his greatness for me!
Jokic is underrated
It's not racist hatred. It's his nationality.
If he was American, everybody would be talking about the Big Bird.....
The blacks are just jealous
It’s definitely race, Bird played back in the 80s. Currently in America the most hated demographic is the white male
I'm pretty big into both sports and gaming and what's happening to Nikola Jokic reminds me of a Super Smash Bros Melee player by the name of Hungrybox. Hungrybox is considered one of the "Five Gods" of Melee because of their sheer dominance over an entire era where nobody but those five won any tournaments where any one or more of them attended.
Hungrybox was incredibly efficient and during his prime was a literal mountain that you could not climb. The problem was, the way everyone else played the game was hyper aggressive and constantly trying to stunt on their opponents. Hungrybox's play was defensive and punished opponents for their hyper aggressive play. Because of this, he was dubbed boring by a large chunk of the community and started getting immense amounts of hate; especially when he started destroying everyone during his three year period as #1 in the world.
Haters are gonna hate the top no matter what and that hate gets multiplied if you aren't entertaining enough.
Jokic 🐐.
American analysts feeling intimidated by the fact a sport invented in their own country is garnering better players elsewhere.
Jealousy. Sometimes racism. Sometimes because people only see his vertical and his speed. Jokic is a beast! The great players that play against him know.
3X mvp, 1st and only player to leade post season in points, rebounds, and assists, 1x champ, 1x FMVP, greatest passing big man, #1 PER, 4th all time triple double leader (soon to be 3rd). Definitely hall of fame.
Top 5 passer all time
They just mad he’s ACTUALLY good😂
He surpassed "one of the best centers" way back hes in conversation of "one of the best players!!!
Best thing about this is that he doesn't even care about awards.
the uronic part is that his game is actually interesting and entertaining, the way he shoots deep 3s over good defenders, or how great his footwork is in the paint, it's all interesting to watch
He brings a team together like no other
They hate him, cause they ain’t him
It’s systematic racism in NBA, seriously hypocritical
The reasons why he's hated on:
▫️ He's not from Murica
▫️ He's white
▫️ He's a family man
▫️ He's a Serb
Spot on, and the last especially after 1999.
@@HawkThunder907nigga the average american doesn’t care if he’s a serb or not. you think shaq is hating on jokic because he’s serbian? he could be croatian and it wouldn’t make a difference.
He's not "reginA"
Why do you think people would hate on him for being a Serb, Most Americans don’t really know we’re that is and just consider him European, the biggest reason is people want to see an American win, just to prove we’re the best, the racism and family man stuff is just wrong.
@@HawkThunder907 most Americans don’t even know Yugoslavia was a thing, most Serb hate is just from the Balkans or stuck up Europeans that care about that.
Put yourself in the mind of an american, you were told all your life that you are the best of the entire multiverse in basketball, with a lot of player that act like they are some sort of demi god, and now you see that your "dominance" doesn't exist anymore and that europeans are dominating, MVP is serbian and the second on the list is from slovania, DPOY is french, ROTY and also the one who many see as having the potential of becoming a real legend is french, and for the second time in a row, 1st draft pick is french.
New europeans legend appears every year meanwhile most of american one are retiring one by one.
For a country with such a fragile ego, thats harsh to swallow
The treatment Jokic gets from ESPN is a big part of why I don't waste time watching ESPN anymore. They openly sell their biases as truths and retcon history.
Long live LeKing...
To many racist blacks at ESPN
The man has less help and it's sad to see that the Paul Georges and Klays of the world don't want to play with him but rather with players who aren't as good as him.
If you gave pg or klay the chance to play with him they would do it. Nuggets just dont have the cap space to pay them the money they want.
@@MrCedimaan they have money but they still chose to overpay mpj and muray
@@awesomeninja234 we will see if Georges wouldn't like to play with him... Medias said the same for Irving and Luka.
Good going Jokic .... YOU have my FAIR vote anytime ..... YOU are a.true winner ...Keep it up Champion!
It’s crazy that they hate him because he isn’t “marketable” yet almost the entire NBA fan base loves him and recognizes his greatness at this point.
Oh he absolutely don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of him 😂
disrespecting and ignoring european basketball greatness like luka or jokic is absolutely most narcissistic bs i have ever heard
He isn’t black
Question: If the MVP is decided by a 'panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada', aka the media, how come he's won 3 MVPs? I honestly don't understand, can someone explain?
Because lots of the voters are true basketball fans and nerds, and simply going by the stats/math, Jokic is always on top. He literally leads every advanced stat in the game for the past 5 seasons!
@@nebojsabozic2146 Thank the nerds!
Jokic shots in the postseason that made AD just shrug his shoulders like "What the f*** am I meant to do?"
Think it’s just weird when he had a better, championship proven roster, minus one player leaving, didn’t lead his team to the 1 seed, didn’t have better stats than Shai, and wins MVP over him, especially when Shai was leading the youngest number 1 seed ever, with no rebounders on the roster.
Just doesn’t make sense. You can’t perform worse and then be rewarded for it.
Guy scores and assists like crazy and yet people manage to put him down? Insanity
I mean tbh doncic should have won at least one of those. Dudes already 5 time first team all nba. Thats more than Steph or Westbrook.
It makes some of these black players sick to their stomach to see white boys tearing it up. They will always hate jokic and doncic
thank u for the vid and i hope he destroys the nba media next year.
dude you are extremely underrated. respect from russia, love your videos
He said he didnt liked the media and all that in the NBA, so they exert their revenge the only way they know how
I have a question. what would you think the future of the Denver Nuggets would be if Allen Iverson played at least 3 more years in the NBA?
Jokic is playing together with 55 rated nobodies compared to the mvp compatition, and still delivers those stats. yeah, he might not win the games, but he is delivering stats, better than any of the others teams or his teams stats. hence mvp. not hard to figure out this one.
From a non-american it seems to be that the US ethos is so geared towards capital that they cannot fathom someone not being interested in fame, shoes deals, marketing onself as a personality and brand. Fulfilment without commercialism does not compute to the average american
Amazing video, seriously, this is great production. I love Nikola Jokić and always will, I don't care. Best player ever in my book
0:57 Where was the shocking part?
This video was amazing and I rate it fr ❤️🔥💯🙌🏾
So glad people(especially from the us) can see the truth and beauty behind this astonishing player and person that Jokîc is
Can you also explained the disrepect of gobert why this modern day era the media hate centers like Jokic, AD, gobert and their not causing any drama
Everybody becomes jealous before talent. Im not a fan but seen his matches and how he regulates his team in play so i can say this much.
I agree that Jokic was robbed in 2023, should have been MVP.
In 2024, the race was close between Shai and Jokic and even Luka at the end. Both Jokic and Shai deserved it, if Luka had a better seed, it would have been his.
So i actually agree with everything here but you've made a big and stupid mistake. Not once did you talk about Luka's, and most importantly, Shai's numbers.
In order to figure out wether a Candidate deserved the MVP award or not, we have to see what the other Candidates numbers are like. By not showing Shai's and Luka's numbers as well as the seed of the teams, your video essay doesn't come close to proving Jokic deserved MVP.
I can already see the incoming replies. "Well obviously we already know the numbers". Listen, the video is trying to convince you Jokic was fully deserving of his MVP title in 2024. If it wants to be taken seriously, it needs to show what Shai's numbers were like. He went out of his way to show Shaq's numbers and Hakeem's numbers, but he can't for Shai ?
He is simply the best.
Jealousy is their problem
The fans love him, and that includes the fans of opposing teams like me.
Nikola broke NBA 😂
those old head would say how amazing Arvydas Sabonis was, until his regen who actually reach his potential came up
Nah, jokic doesn't even like basketball, bro plays it as a job and goes back to horse racing in serbia during the offseason 😂
2:10 That's really not fair, and I'm not a Jokic hater at all. It's not even about era, it's about the fact that it's just counting stats. Hakeem's stats are great, but his D? Unreal, held Ewing to like 32% shooting over like 7 games, which is insane.
People hate, unfortunately. But I respect him as a person and a player.
First ever basketball match ive seen... USA vs Serbia on the Olympics... Jokic stood out... I didnt know who he was and was like yup im rooting for Serbia now or well this dude!
Then I found out abt his personality and achievements and lemme tell u... I am a fan of Nikola Jokic!
He plays fundame tal basketball and is showing the lack of development in said by the flashy American system.
This year was obviously Jokic, so was last year. I don't think he should've gotten the award in 2021/22 season due to being in the sixth seed, that one should've been Giannis, but Jokic should still have 3 mvp as he was better than Embiid, and I think part of him winning was being scammed last year. I think he's probably won his last one but he's been tremendously good the last 4 years, and definitely deserved mvp over Shai and Luka. It'll likely be Shai or Luka next year, but Luka was the fifth seed and Shai just wasn't as good as Jokic this year.
Damn, Jokic is like a real life MP. Plays better than anyone in his position in the entire league sometime consecutive years after years and they still pretend like he's averaging 7.8pts 0 reb and 1 ast a night...just like during some of those 2K MP story lines😆 all because he's not obnoxious or narcissistic.
If Nikola was an American or he happened to be black the narrative would be different. He is the complete opposite of what the most recent NBA stars have been , thus the media and former players attack him because they are threatened by him in a manner of speaking.
If Caitlin Clark is black,
If Manny Pacquiao is black,
If Pang Zhanle is white,
Is Victor Wembenyama is Asian...
We know what's up.
Jokic is an ordinary white chubby guy.. no athlete-chamberlain-Shack style..no swag-no bs-no afair-no brag ..just whooping ass on the court with high IQ play-crazy passes and alien shots.. he is just doing his job.... after working.. going home to horses-doesn't care of the stats and titles debate best big guy, mvp,goat debates,interviews ...Duncan style ..most underated player..Nothing to make money of for the media..thats why he is special.
Amazing how quickly people forget that his number one option was trash that series.
"I hate Nikola Jokic" said no one ever. 👎
