Reacting to My Dumbest NBA Take Ever

- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2023
- I've made some bold predictions on RUclips but have never been more wrong about Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Twitter went insane bashing me so it's time to react to this awful take.

Casey you’re one of the few that owns up to his takes. Mad respect bro!! We all make mistakes. Time to keep moving forward.
It wasn’t merely a mistake. It was quite hateful & demeaning.
The tone showed Casey’s dislike for Nuggets & Jokic.
He was hoping to see them fail & get humiliated!
Any self-respecting “analyst” ought to leave their biases & preferences out of their assessments.
@@tropickmango cry harder
You learn more from your losses than your wins. Great video
As a Nuggets fan, I would like to have a Nikola Jokic problem for another decade
As a Warriors fan, I would like to have a Jokić problem.
nuggets championship is a fluke lol
The thing with Jokic is that, you can beat him in a 100m dash, but you can't beat him in a mile run.
I don’t know, he’s pretty big. I reckon I’m probably more likely to beat him running a mile.
AD ran after him the length of the court and never gained an inch so he's as fast as Davis on 28m... who I don't think makes it to 100m.
@@SimonLYW When a 7-footer with world-class conditioning get's going, it's like a horse galloping.
@SimonLYW I doubt it dude you'll get gassed quick. Jokic runs almost 3 miles a game basically stpeh curry level when he's off ball. Dude looks slow but he knows how to hit the gas.
This analogy reminds me of a show back in the day where there's a competition between a militia and the Marines. The militia won in airsoft match while the Marines won in the stamina match.
Without a doubt, you're one of the real ones to step up to the plate and admit you were wrong. #RESPECT✊🏿
Actually Joker has quite good defensive instincts - that is the best part of his defense. Also, he knows his limits and he clearly doesn't try the things he knows he can't do.
Exactly, Jokić has excellent defensive instincts. He just doesn’t have great lateral or vertical movement. However, his instincts have allowed him to get many game winning blocks.
👏👍
As a Nuggets fan, i have no issue with that take. People will forever disrespect Jokic. His defense even was great in the playoffs. No one should ever doubt the Joker. Still love the vids👌👌
Lebrun clearly just abused him in the point
That video wasn’t merely a mistake, it was hateful & used misinformation to push a demeaning narrative.
He talked about “early exits”, as a way to diminish Jokic’s achievements, but failed to recognize the impact of serious injuries to their 2nd & 3rd best players.
@tropickman dam, Nuggets fans really crying 😢😢😢, it is a fucking sport take
His defence is extremely underrated.
@@FactFusers so he's not allowed to criticize a take because it's about sports? imshi ya walad
Us Nuggets fans been dealing with disrespect for too long😂on twitter we've been going crazy on receipts
The trolling is definitely well-deserved and I respect how you own up to it and accept how ridiculous the takes were in hindsight. As a youtuber, you definitely need more bold takes as that confidence is part of the charisma, and more often than not you'll probably be right. Keep at it!
You're a real one man, for putting up a video on your bad takes and admitting them. Not much RUclipsrs do that, mad respect for ya👍🏻
That was Casey's "IMA MAKE EM BOFF" equivalent
The 2 major things wrong with what you said at the time:
1. Calling him a bad or average at best defender, you can maybe say that about being a rim protector but too many people only focus on blocks when there is much more to defense than that. Jokic is one of the best defensive rebounders and usually leads all big men in steals. Jokic has quick hands and his understanding of the game allows him and his teammates to be in the right place, plus he usually can deter players with his size and presence alone. You can't argue with results, and they show he had a better defensive rating than Embiid and Giannis last year and this year was only a 1pt difference from Embiid's despite people acting as if they were miles apart.
2. Saying he is only a regular season player is also a trash take because it means you don't actually look at what he does in the playoffs, only his team's results. A regular season player is someone who plays great in the regular season but doesn't live up to that level in the playoffs (cough* Embiid). A player can be the best performer in the playoffs and still lose due to lack of help or health on their team or just simply who they run into. Even before this year, Jokic had the best playoff numbers of any current player besides Giannis, Jokic is someone who every year has elevated his playoff numbers past what they were in the regular season, and when he goes out he goes out swinging and losing only to the best teams. The 3 previous teams that eliminated him all went to the finals and 2 of them won the whole thing, it's not like he had lost to an inferior team and is never the reason why they lost.
Thank You.
👏👍
I need a point number 3
Players shot under 35% when guarded by Jokic in the playoffs
I'm still a huge believer in MPJ. If that dude can ever get that brace off his leg, it's not impossible for him to be the teams lead scorer, even with Jamal and Jokic on the team.
The fact that you made this video is why I keep coming back to your channel. Love the fact that you own up to your mistakes!
Nobody who sits in front of a camera talking into a mic is going to be infallible. Respect homie.
As a Serbian, I couldn't have asked for a better offseason. Nuggets won a chip, Jokić broke every false narrative around him, Embiid choked and lost to Celtics again. Perfect.
5:51 5:51 youre wrong on your take. He played a 3x DPOY in the 1st round, CP3 got injured I think in game 2 and they played better without him, Ayton was called the Jokic stopper when they swept them a few years ago, everyone was saying AD was the best defender in the playoffs, and Bam was 2nd team all defense this year. You can't say he had an easy run
Ayton was really thought of as a 'Jokic stopper'😂😂😂
@jimmywalker8354 looking back now ppl realize how CRAZY that narrative was.
you're right and the others team considered best "contender" wern't good enought
You're the first american in human history to take accountability for something, and you did it smartly and with lots of self irony. Respect
Trump used to take accountability all the time.
@@mcNuggetMuncherHeavy on the used to
Without the bad takes there won’t be good takes. Hot takes are what makes sports interesting. Keep doing you man. Love your videos.
Nuggets had 4th best defence in playoffs, a huge improvement over regular season.
Jokic & MPJ improved their defensive effort astronomically to lead the team to the title.
Of course, he has some defensive limitations, but the Nuggets solved those issues by intelligent & well executed defensive schemes.
Even Booker came out saying that Jokic is actually a hell of a defender, after their series.
Jokic averaged over 40 min/game vs Lakers and clamped down on AD. Then clamped down Bam. One can argue that Jokic played better defence against AD than the other way around.
I’m a big fan of your detailed, well illustrated and up to date nba videos Casey. Especially love your series on nba player stories!
It take a real man to made bold predictions even when you may be wrong and an even bigger man to own up to a mistake.
We all live and learn brother. Keep it up :)
I felt so validated this year because I've been telling people since 2021 they didn't have murray, this year they do. People still don't think murray is great but I'm telling you, he gets that look in eye like kobe and Jordan did. That locked in killer look. He hits big shots in big moments, he plays better under brighter lights. Them winning a ring his first year back is the best I told you so to all those nuggets haters. Here's my next prediction, Braun could possibly be the next ginobli. High energy, tenacious defense, the ability to drive through traffic and get a shot or find an open man, fringe guy that could be a starter, but would also be willing to be the 6th man. He just needs to improve his 3 and he could have a borderline hall of fame career
Are we going to talk about how Embiid was targeted in the Pick n Roll
Fair play for owning up,ur a real one for doing this type of video
I’m a Warriors fan and I knew this was a bad take at the time haha. Keep the takes coming! Just make them reasonable AND spicy. Keep up the great work Casey
Still great content. Gotta be wrong a few times to make the kind of content you do. Love watching each video, even if the outcomes are other than predicted.
Casey you just redeemed yourself to me so much, thank you man
Love that u doing a vid like this keep going crazy A.M. 🔥🔥
Predictions are just hard to make! Respect how you responded to your mistakes. Fuck the haters and keep producing high quality videos like you always do mate💪🏻
Great video. Being wrong happens.
In my opinion the video resurfacing means that there was that one (or more) fan that was confident and remembered.
Huge props for the quick reaction video, Casey. Not being a dick, but if Nugs Twitter had seen your video at the moment instead of it getting retweeted just recently, we'd have been allll over your case then too, but that was the first time i've ever seen ya! >< And you're on our radar now, especially since you've shown the capability to own it, so look out!
Haha!! Thanks for the comment brotha 🙏🏼
"When they lose...." That was the point when you burried yourself 😅
Rare humility man, I'll definitely keep following you now
When I saw the first video I was like wtf...horrible. But you have my respect now, not many people would put themselves on blast.
We love your videos on both channels
Problem is, many of you see defense only by rim protect efficiency and it's much more, protecting the space, rebounding, deflections, steals, he was also great in PNR so i would say he is very good defender
It's ok to be wrong, as long as you don't double down on it ...😂
dont ever let that slow you down. i love this channel since day one.
We all make bad predictions. It is amazing that you can see that you were wrong, and can admit it. Thanks for being grown up about it!
Respect man. I bet against the nuggets even though I felt like they were gonna win hahaha. Jimmy was on fire I thought he might slay the beast but I was wrong too. This is what makes NBA basketball so fun and interesting you never truly know what is going to happen
If you actually watched anytime Heat play Nuggets the last few years you knew exactly what was going to happen. Going into their playoff series the Heat had only won 1 out of 10 and had lost 6 straight in their head to head matchups. Jimmy seems to never show up against Denver.
@@ranchosdelnorte yeah your right and deep down I knew Denver was gonna win, but whenever I see those +280 or higher odds on FanDuel or Sportsbook I get these dumbas$ ideas in my head and think "what if jimmy pulls some Kobe or MJ sh*t that can happen" and ultimately lose my money 🤣. This kinda thing happens to me weekly, I'm not real smart lol.
I appreciate the grace in which you are taking this massive L.
Basically I was pretty confident the Nuggets were going to be good, but people would just always say they will lose in the playoffs, so I basically just went, ok fuck it, I will see you all in the playoffs, and didn't talk shit for a while, but I remembered all the comments I saw as people were confident the Nuggets would lose.
And ya, I think you have the right take away, which is to be less overconfident. Some doubts are a very good thing, especially when predicting the future.
Its obvious you go super extra with a lot of takes for entertainment purposes one way or the other and it works cause your still my favorite basketball youtube channel.
Way to be humble bro, keep making your content- love your takes! 🙏🙏
Jokic played good solid defense in the playoffs.
Bro u give me hope thank u for sharing ur story ❤
Love watching your content. Everyone make mistakes. You are honest, I respect that.
You are the MAN bro, for admitting your mistake. I watch every video you put out, and this one, makes me want more from you! Congrats 🎉❤
I don't understand the Jokic is a bad defender narrative. He's a net positive defender.
You are my favorite NBA RUclipsr! Keep doing your thing; nobody is perfect!
Respect the honesty but I learned a while ago you’re a factory for these types of takes
I remember that video but I forgot that Nick take. Just wow 😂 So many people slept on Denver because they didn't actually watch any games to understand how will they play team defense. Btw Jokić has great vision in defense, acceleration is what he lacks of 😂
Suns are going to Molly wop them next year. We actually have a bench now and managed to take 2 games without a bench and a monty who time after time crumbled in playoffs
@@coltonthompson5679 nobody spoke or asked opinion about any other team in this video or in my comment. But still here you are...
@@milosruss aww sorry I hurt your feelings . Y’all will miss Bruce brown
@@coltonthompson5679 my feelings hurt? Ha. We are champs and you can't do anything about it 😃😃😃
@@milosruss except win next year which we will. Get your bets in now
This sounds more like an apology video then a reaction vid
I really liked and agreed with most of your takes in this video. But Jokic faced Kat/Gobert, Ayton and AD before facing Bam in the finals.
Big respect on facing the music.
Everyone else always remembers the biggest loss not the biggest win
Hey @Casey Keirnan, it's nice that you are owning to your mistakes and making a video out of it, which is kinda cool.
I was going to clown on you so hard but with this video, no need for that anymore lol. Everyone has bad takes every now and then haha.
Owning up a mistake is better than not acknowledging it.
I don't think it was a dumb take. Jokic has not won a ring until this year when they finally had a complete team. This is not as bad as Perkins declaring Steph won't win another ring ever.
I mean no it was a dumb take
That's fine and it happens
But it was a dumb take
It was a dumb take or is he supposed to win a chip when the last few season his 2nd and 3rd options were injured.. you casuals love to ignore context
It happens man 😂. Much love
Respect man. Take like a man. Shout frim Brazil
This was one of the most fun videos you've made.
One of your first subscribers and left 2 or 3 months ago due to the change of your content. Predictions with the emphasis you put on them are hard for me to stomach. Just being honest. Good job overall tho. Great channel Casey
Bro I appreciate that you stood on your 10s but you make a good point
Even your voice likes different 😂 good work and congratulions
This was one of those videos where I could just visualise the haymakers hit you one after the other. It was quite painful to watch. I respect the confidence in your predictions, but yeah... Sometimes the cookie crumbles in ways where you can't recover anything but a single crumb (the MPJ trade prediction was fair enough, like you said).
good man for facing this head on... in being humble your voice changed to more relaxed... I like your regular voice better, (as opposed to your "camera voice" should do it more often... you have a great natural voice.. thanks for your insights that you do get right...
Dang man’s voice is deeper than I thought
Keep making awesome content
Dont feel bad we all got bad take’s sometimes
all good Casey . . . . your videos are entertaining . . . .
Respect man. The thing is with with media is that they have inside source. The take you delivered was not actually accurately though because of the eye test. It really shows how they move.
Nikola's defense has really evolved over the last season and a half or so, where he recognizes his weaknesses on defense and adapted his game to account for them in order to improve his defense overall. He isn't remotely fast enough or light enough on his feed to react and shift position including in the post without fouling, he does have a fouling issue, and he's overall not great defensively, and can easily get exploited because of it. He also likes to play both sides very physically, which modern day rules make into a detriment, much to my strong peeve. So what does he do? He see these things, and adapts to where he sets the record for the most kick ball violations in single season history for a single player. In the playoffs, that helped him and the entire team defensively to a ridiculous extent.
Long story short, you were never entirely wrong in this take.
Die hard Nuggets fan and Jokic stan here: It happens. It's ok. The worst is what you said, the confidence. There were HIGHLY paid analysts who said far worse things and undercut the Nuggets far worse than you did in that video. Hell, you even pointed out that against the Warriors, Jokic had no shot. Many of those same analysts I'm talking about said "It wouldn't have mattered if he had Murray and Porter, they still suck"
You took the L with class. I liked and subscribed. All the best going forward.
Mad respect. Takes a lot more courage to admit you were wrong than to make a hot take
I love this channel. Do what you think is right but I’ll be watching regardless
You need to have the Joker end up on your channel and laugh in your face for an episode. Every second of begging and groveling to the Joker for forgiveness would be one of the most enjoyable things in most people's lives.
Love the humbleness
Being fair, I still think you have some things wrong. Jokic has great defensive instincts. It is basketball IQ. He knows what is going to happen. He does not hgave lateral quickness to prevent some of those things, and he opts not to contest at the rim to avoid foul trouble.
And as for who Jokic went against... C'mon now. Rudy Gobert. Deandre Ayton (and "injured" Suns? KD, Booker and Ayton were playing). Anthony Davis! Bam Adebayo! That is one of the toughest possible runs at C. Look at ALL the takes before the series, and everyone was saying "they solved Jokic", "AD will stop him", "Gobert will be a problem" (and, don't be mistaken, as Bruce Brown said, the TWolves was our toughest series!), etc.
With all that said, kudos for doing this video, even if it means you did it for the engagement! After all, I'm the one here typing.
You’re still my favorite NBA channel, have been for years. Saw what was going on on Twitter, they’re just trolls and we’re being way too harsh. Bad call but far from the worst
so you are implying that there is a worse take from Casey, or that there are worse takes in general?
@@reaper_is_unavailable yes
You are already way way way better than those from main stream media who say one thing today and forget about what he ever said the next day
I'm a nuggets fan at the time I remember leaving a comment or a dislike but you were not the only one
“He might not have the best defensive instincts”
Literally among the league leaders in steals and deflections at the center position.
Basketball is a game where you win by scoring more points than your opponent if you were unstoppable, even if they were unstoppable and at the end of the game, do you have more points you still win?
Great lowkey video. I like this self-referential stuff
Hindsight is 20/20. Just remember this for your future takes on NBA stars or NBA teams. Because this should be a very humbling experience for you.
I watch a lot of nba basketball and predicted the finals as nuggets vs celtics before the season started. I didnt know who would win but i believed in the nuggets the entire time, im a heat fan btw and i am pretty sad but ready for next season
Own it like a man haha. Well done. As much as the original video was wrong, that much this video is a breath of fresh air on RUclips. You are one rare emotionally healthy dude. ✌ Peace out
back to uploading on this channel?
Congrats buddy on owning your own words. You're a true champ!
Good takes. You are the man, you own your own mistakes.
Great vid! I’d argue that jokic actually does have a very good defensive IQ and positioning, just slow feet and athleticism to make him an outstanding defender. His lack of athleticism contributes to his longevity/endurance, so it helps his game more than it hurts it
For the first bad take, no one really anticipated that. And since defensive plays outside of blocks and steals are not really "highlighs", we rarely see Jokic's defensive impact only until we're actually given the numbers and find that he's apparently a positive on the defensive end.
Hindsight-wise, given Jokic's high IQ and godly court vision, it becomes less and less suprising how well Jokic's defense is in pick coverage and help defense. With his size and strength too.
Yeah Nick and you are a couple of geniuses 4 shure
Jokic doesn't play defense on some plays but he makes a lot of defensive game changing plays when it counts most. His advanced defensive stats are quite good.
"Worst MVP since Dave Cowens"???
NOT Westbrick's stat padding pity party??
NOT Steve Nash's 2nd???
Or others that won MVP but not the ring in that same year??
Not even David Robinson getting cooked by Hakeem for "stealing" his MVP.?!?
😂
Respect this video a lot, but also you don’t deserve the hate. How many of us have had bad takes, but none are recorded. Big up yourself, forget the haters ❤
In the future you will see more and more how stupid that take is.
Keep it going bro
We all have bad takes! Good to see you can laugh about it!
Respect for owning the bad take. 👊🤘
Bro! I though this was a main channel vid that I forgot to watch. You need to upload more of these videos where you are kind of just talking unscripted to the camera on this channel. Bad take lol but keep up the work (I had the same take a year ago dont tell anyone)
