Impossible to guard. Jokic never really has a bad game. The most consistent superstar in the league right now.
You just described the qualities of a GOAT.
He’s the greatest floor raiser in NBA history.
Nobody is able to raise the floor of a team as much as Jokic.
He’s as consistent as a horse. He will get you a minimum of 25/10/5 every single game no matter what.
Goat shit
@@steviechampagneidk man, the nuggets legit had zero holes
@@babyforestwhitaker71143pt % , and Porter
💯 percent he is the goat in NBA history nicola jokic
Jokic's 2 threes over AD are the coldest I've ever seen. 2 legendary Sombor Shuffles
Iconic shot
AD's look when the buzzer beater in his face went in says it all: all that can be done in the face of such absurd greatness is smile and shake your head in awe and utter disbelief
He does over bron as well, and he never missed that shot, he did it over and over and still got people saying it was a lucky shot. SMH!
Don't want to be all "well akshually" on you but just to be clear, cause the Sombor shuffle is a really fucking weird and cool move, it's when he jumps off the wrong foot, i.e. the right foot. Those two shots over AD weren't that but they're still really cold af for sure.
True, they were all ice cold, step back fallaways. But not Sombor Shuffles. One was off the left foot like Dirk, the other two were off two feet. The Shuffle is when he does a Dirk but off the other foot.
JOKIC led playoffs in points, assists, AND rebounds. The GOAT.
Haters will say otherwise but facts are facts.
Jokic the best to ever do it, the 3x MVP and more to come, the undisputed GOAT.
Please stop. One playoffs run doesn’t make someone a goat.
@@firstnamelastname1566 please stop. Y’all jump on any white guy so fast.
Nah
LBJ GOAT
Even tho I love Jokic`s game... Yall throw The Greatest Of All Time at anything.
This is my favorite playoff run since 2003 Duncan and 2011 Dirk.
Those were impressive, but just like Jokic, those guys were always called 'boring' by the media and still they are some of the most successful players of all time.
@@TheRatedOniChannel A lot of people have shitty taste 🤷
2011 Dirk was legendary. 40 plus Ft straight
Why because the best team won?
no one can ever top 2011 Dirks
This highlights reel is probably better then most of the guys career highlights. just impressive, historic and legendary
If you can produce such a playoff highlight reel from a while career, you are already a great player.
🃏👑🏆
I always was a hard Michael Jordan fan, but if you see this genius...I´m speechless...
he makes this game so eazy
Half an hour of breath-taking plays, and it only took him twenty games to do it.
In Denver's 4 losses this postseason, Jokic averaged 42 points, 11 rebounds, and 9.5 assists on 60/51/82 splits
Easy when you're a stat padder
@@user-zb9zn1zz7dlmao, you don’t know ball
@@davidkrueger2299he is joking
@@tafadzwamanzini5463 do you know him?
@@davidkrueger2299 I was obviously joking, I thought the whole "stat padding" claim became a meme after Denver won... Even Mike Malone referenced it
I've never seen a player like him. Like seriously. Dude is like a Point Center. All around beast.
It's funny how most people try to compare Jokic to some legendary player of the past, yet everyone comes up with a different player. Duncan, Bird, Feet work like Olajawon, shooting like Dirk, etc, etc, but once you become as good as jokic has become... he plays like Jokic... there's no one like him.
I don’t think people realize how good this team was in clutch situations. Hidden narrative no one is talking about 😮
Indeed, and in LBJ case it is total opposite thing, guy chokes in clutch but is goated by nike and NBA to be next MJ aka cash cow for the league, fixing himself to be in best teams yet failed 60% of finals.
If he continues on this legendary trajectory, Jokic will finish Top 10 all time, if not Top 5. A 7 foot center who passes like Magic, shoots like Bird, and has the postgame of Hakeem.
Top five he is becoming the GOAT
Jokic’s peak is pretty much as good as anyone in NBA history, he’s Jordan and Lebron level. If he continues his dominance for 5-7 more years and wins 2-3 more rings, there is zero question. Jokic will be top 5
..and the disposition of Tim Dunkin
@@stephenwu1524 i hope he does but i doubt he plays too long, he doesnt love the game enough i dont think
@@Andrew-ir7yf Why do you say that?
Best series was against Lakers, he made Davis look like a rookie, he got COMPLETELY OWNED! 💪
i think that's unfair to AD. AD looked like a too-small allstar 4.5 against an era-defining potential GOAT center. it's not his fault lol
Not only did he make Adumb his son, he also exposed LeBum as the greatest CHOKE artist of all time.
It was hilarious to watch GOATkic just having fun while toying with the overrated, clown-infested rubbish fakers team.
He also probably destroyed Ayton's career lol.
@@samantharay6098 you do realize youre talking about a #1 draft pick in AD? # 1 in Ayton as well..both who got dominated by a guy who was drafted during a taco bell commercial
@@BadTV1993 Still, it is unfair take. No one could imagine he would become this good.
im sure Embiid is somewhere watching this video and crying with his trophy under the pillow!!
Yup. The ultimate vindication is winning and that's where Joker and the Nuggets have the last word.
I'm a huge Nuggets fan and I get it, I think MVP should've been the Joker, but Embiid didn't vote so we really shouldn't knock him for it
@@phil5280 yea but he cried about it a lot. " I dont know what else I should do to get it" other guys have won a couple of them and won nothing, why the pressure should be on me bla bla and he gets it... couple months later Joker is champion and fmvp
It's Nikola's world, we're all just living in it
This guy is one of the best basketball players I have ever seen
That eye contact with AD like "-c'mon man you can't score that
-yeah I know, sorry 🤷♂️"
Jokic being Jokic 🤣🤣🤣
What a display of Skill, Patience, Touch, Leadership and Dominance. There is nobody like the Joker!
25:57 That was just filthy. Hop step into a reverse spin. Jokic is a magician, man. Incredible footwork to pull that off.
Having that good footwork at 7 feet tall is wild
I’ve been a basketball fan since 1965. Never seen anyone with all of his offensive skills. Best touch around the basket along with everything else. And my favorite thing of all is the way he doesn’t show off after making yet another spectacular play. The arena erupts and he just runs down to the other end and plays defense. I’m embarrassed for all of the chest-thumping, yelling, look-at-me egotists I’m forced to see when watching the great game of basketball. This man plays the game straight up and he’s a team player. Thanks for posting a great highlight video.
No thank you for the comment old timer! Can’t imagine many can say they watched ball before you did. Pretty awesome
I was born 1993, I basically said everything you did. You witnessed much more than I, and it makes me happy and proud to read the same thoughts from someone much older than me. Respect and greetings from Serbia!
Jokic beat the media
I’m a warriors fan and only started watching nuggets to see Lakers get shit on in the conference finals but I quickly became a Jokic and Murray fan. Everytime Jokic has the ball you just know that something special is about to happen
No other like him. Unique.
Maybe the greatest championship run ever. Pure dominance
Man of value, man of greatness, man of true values. Proud to be born in same country as this fella!
Me too
Dont forget we Are Champions in Street Basketball too brother !!!
Hope they figured out more about uss
What U.S. was 100 years ago before the leftists took over. Don't let it happen to you.
Why only Serbs love these guys ,why west hates them
@@kingnole4237 🤦🏽♂️
Basketball, tennis, you guys just produce legends over there! I hope one day to visit your beautiful country. 💛
Historical performance that will be remembered for years to come
I Been Watching You On TV Bender You're So Handsome 😎
people don't realize how dominant this playoff run was. just look at the teams the nuggets eliminated. and with such an ease.
They beat 85 all star appearances combined between the players/teams they beat. Most in NBA history.
It’s crazy watching a center shoot a 3 and feel like it’s going to go in! Jokic the real MVP!!
Can’t stop watching these highlights. Poetry.
Jokic is the reason why I started watching the NBA again. Just because he's putting up numbers I've/we've never seen before. It's not even close. He's by far the best player in the NBA right now and I thought that even before this playoff run. It's shocking that this hasn't been the general census. And those analyst clowns who judge play based almost entirely on rings are just that clowns. Up until this point... it wasn't even possible for Jokic to compete for the championship, because the team was building and last year key guys on the Nuggets were injured. This was the first year that Jokic had a chance to win a ring... and even if the Nuggets came up short in the playoffs.. he would still be the best in the league. It's not even close. Giannis is another excellent player, but Jokic is another degree better, because of his highly versatile game, where he doesn't have any notable holes or bad games for that matter. Defense is probably the weaker part of his game, but that's because everything else is on another level... but it's certainly not a hole in his game or a liability.
GOAT Nikola 🔥🔥🔥
FAX!
GOATkic the best to ever do it, no one comes close ever.
He has some sky hooks like Kareem and foot work like Hakeem
And jump shot like dirk
He did it effortlessly 😂
He's just Nikola
"Of course that went in" pretty much sums up how he balled out. Legendary.
God what assists.😮
What a technique of handling the ball in attack.
Everything seems so easy.. 🎉🏀
It’s crazy these Joker playoff moments are basically just Nuggets highlights lol .. they’re a well oiled machine, this run was insane 🏆
They aren't done
Such a good point, specially Aaron Gordon who's benefited the most IMHO
Hakeem called this dude "the one" for good reason
One word UNICORN
it's like god distilled Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon (offensively) and KevinMcHale down into the same player. Amazing. I see Larry most though... off the charts hand-eye coordination and court vision/basketball IQ combined with low athleticism (but great conditioning and a relentless motor). Unicorn, yes, but I also think about that time Magic told Larry, "Larry, you told us a lie. You said there would be another Larry Bird. And there will never, ever, ever be another Larry Bird."
Guess Larry was right - kind of.
@@samantharay6098 excellent summary
Dude is just straight up built different, impossible to defend and impossible to replicate
Ill never get tired of watching jokic
Complete domination of the playoffs, from start to finish. This highlight reel is ridiculous 🔥🥵
I don't even watch basketball, how have I found myself watching a 30 minute video on this guy? It's mesmerizing!
The goat
It's certainly possible. We need to see more, but... After this season he looks like a top 3 all time player in terms of performance, whether you put that 1, 2 or 3.
best Center for sure.
The quickness & athleticism they play with is crazyyyyy. I never seen passes like this. Like one big brain they have.
Lol at the people who said Jokic game is boring. He just produced a half-hour spectacular highlights mixtape IN A SINGLE PLAYOFF RUN!
Best player in the league🫡
The best individual playoff performance ever completed with a championship.
I am so glad i am a Serbian...Novak and Jokic are just unbelievable players and more important amazing human beings ❤
Why are you glad that you're Serbian?
Serbia is an awful place
Joki knows all. Even a very natural understanding of a basketball and the balls control.
Natural killer
That play starting at 5:42 vs. the Twolves is so cold. 🥶 He had 2 of their best players jumping into each other for the pump fake, beautifully lays it in, and just smiles after. 😂 not to mention in the clutch too
I got to admit, im a suns fan, rooted for lakers and rooted for miami. All these jokic plays are heartbreaking. All those sombor shuffles are daggers and those assists are head scratchers (like how did he found them?!). All amazing.
So you are a loser who doesn't like good basketball? Suns, Lakers, and Heat played garbage ball compared to Denver, stop cheering for laundry, and appreciate ball, Suns are trash, ain't going nowhere, traded it all for KD when jok out here doin it as a 41st pick, hope you enjoy rooting for losers, Suns not winning in the Booker era period
What has KD done since leaving the Warriors? Suns are losers, Paul is a loser, KD is a loser, good luck 😂
What a great play-off run by Jokic. It seemed like he broke a record every game. And I loved seeing Mr. 50 getting the ball in the paint.
I love how calm, collected and respectfull he is after some incredible plays. I think he overgrown nickname the joker and deserve something different. Like the master or sensei.
Jody Master🙏
Watching an entire game he is very reliable and consistent. Great player.
BEST INDIVIDUAL PLAYOFF RUN EVER
What impressed me the most this run was his handle. He didn't push that hard in transition in the regular season, his handle is secure af.
true gem teamplayer...constantly assists teammates and scores beautifully
25:57 That hesitation and spin move, and the crowd's reaction, gives me chills. So good!
After curry, jokic is my favorite player, it's impressive to watch him play, it seems to me that he always knows what's going to happen and that he already has a plan in his head
I actually only watched the NBA because of Dennis Schröder. Because I'm from Germany. But after the Lakers played Denver, I wanted to see more of Jokic
He's not a real German
Glad this man is getting the repeat he deserves. The ja morants of the game are flashy, but not my kinda player. Love this, the silent assassin.
Elegance.
Jokic is the king 👑 of the basketball 🏀 and G.O. A.T! Bravo 👏 🇷🇸 ❤️
I was one of the nay-sayers who thought he didn't deserve to always be on the MVP charts, but boy was was i wrong.
This brother is fr fr.
Jokic is amazing but so is the whole team, esp Murray and AG
It feels great! Honestly! Nuggets deserved it with their hard work! I am super happy for AAron(it feels right that Gordon got NBA ring after he got screwed on 2 dunk competitions), Mr. Green, Murray and Jokic (love him)! Great job!
Funniest thing about these "Playoff" highlights is that they could have pulled footage from ANY regular season game over the last 5 years! Jokic has been the real deal for YEARS, but he plays on a small market team and doesn't get recognition...which is EXACTLY how he wants it!
I love it when small market teams win the NBA title. It makes the league even more interesting. Hope Jokic wins another ring
Let’s be honest, we haven’t seen someone this dominant and unstoppable since Shaq.
Jokic’s 2023 playoff run has been more statistically dominant than any Shaq playoff run. He’s scoring and rebounding just as much with higher efficiency and 6 more assist per game, while also leading comfortably in advanced stats.
@@stephenwu1524 Jokic just put up the most dominant playoff run by a center in history of NBA.
His performance was more dominant than Shaq's, especially as Jokic shot 47% from 3PT and 80% from free throw, while averaging 30 - 13.5 - 9.5 on 57% - 47% - 80% splits and PER of 32.1
The second highest PER in playoffs was Booker at 28.6.
@@tropickman yeah…that’s what I said lol
Shaq is more dominant at scoring and defense but not all around in jokic. In terms of today’s game, you need to be good all around to take a team to a championship. You need one of those guys, so yes, I believe jokic is more dominant.
@@theoneabovethou9601
Shaq wasn't a great defender. He was a great scorer and rebounder.
He is so humble with great skill👍👍👍❤️🤜🤛👏👏👏
Jokic - A perfect blend of old school and new school. I appreciate his game so much because you can tell he loves the game.
Master class. Legendary.
Congratulations big boy I told all my friends you would win!
Infinite admiration to this guy! Not only efficient and a difference maker, but also basketball with high level of beauty and intelligence. I have never seen the same!
They play beautiful team basketball around the force of nature that is Nikola Jokic.
Now everyone can see what Jokić had to do to go home and enjoy the horses. Really amazing! 😂
0:55 Man is magical 🔥👏🏻🍻
can’t believe people will see these clips and think he isn’t the best player in the world rn
he's so deceptively goofy that nobody would understand what he's gonna do next . and he always has the right move at the right time . legend
Best big man in history of the NBA, this video is the proof! 🔥🔥🔥
Most skilled big man of all time
Granted he probably needs a few more championships to be considered one of the greatest centers of all time, I certainly think he’s on his way there, Go big Jok!
I just cried at greatness my girl will never understand
How he destroy Lakers LOVE THAT!!!
2:55 the most emotion ive seen from him in game
The whole momentum shifted in that play & reaction of the whole team!
They got their 1st lead of the game & were deadly after that!
Even the refs couldn't stop them!
Might sound stupid but his arms/hands are mesmerizing to watch (above the dribble handles?) with the touch, grace and coordination he has.
"Don't bet against the fat boy"-Nikola Jokic.
there's beauty in simplicity
When a highlight of a player is 30 minutes long, you know you're seeing something special.
I catch myself giggling he's so damn good....Big Honey just doin that voodoo that he do so well.
me right now
i am very impressed with nikola. he's a great teammate, leader and player.
Jokic IQ almost never gets talked about. It’s his main weapon. He’s playing chess, while everyone else…
@joedibs7921 ... while everyone else jumping around :)
26:50 a bird flies across the screen. That’s a message in itself. We got a legend on our hands.
is a bat lol
@@mariano4519 then he’s scaring off Batman!!!
He scored some big baskets at crunch time. he killed comebacks. He hit really important shots down the stretch of multiple games.
Pure gold! Etched in history 🎉
This is highlights for 2 seasons of a good player
Mozart at work
That is absolutely briliant. I mean I watched 1 min of Jokic, with 1 min of unskippable ads.
Live in the UK, played high school east prep school hoops in the USA, have been obsessed with the NBA since 1984... This gentleman is truly plays one of the most beautiful and elegant versions of this amazing sport that I have ever seen and I absolutely LOVE THIS GAME ❤ps I haven't seen this many uncalled fouls since MJ and Shaq it's a joke [pun intended]
The speed his brain calculates is taken for granted. He looks deceptively slow but it's the opposite, his brain, eye and body coordination is off the charts.
Reminiscent of Shaq and Kobe. Impeccable two-man game. If Murray stays healthy, this can be a dynasty. It has even higher hopes to be great that their stars have no ego. It ain't how you act when you're trying to be great. It's how you act when you know you're great and still have the where with all to recognize you can't do it alone. One of the best runs in NBA history. As a laker fan, knowing we've beaten them 3 times in the WCF before comforted me. But it was easy to see that no team was even close to their level. Much deserved, best of luck to this team that has the potential to destroy history
His "Sombor Shuffle" 3-pointer at 0:52 was incredible and what made it even more special was the reaction of awe from the Lakers crowd. They've seen some pretty special things in that arena over the years and that shot is up there with them.
What a journey made by Denver!
Every players was extremely important to the team. LET'S GO NUGGETS!
I mean he’s not flashy or showboating he plays as fundamentally sound basketball as anyone and straight dominates. He’s something to behold for sure
like the dude scores game wining matches and his celebrations are smug smiles 5:47 xD
He’s def flashy when he wants to be. I’ve seen some Magic-esque no look or behind the head passes that are insanely flashy.
