The most impressive part of this video is that we take pride in guessing correctly whilst slowing it down and pausing from a bird's eye view, but Jokic is doing it in real time and from the ground, with a bunch of bodies obscuring his view. Truly generational playmaking abilities from The Joker.

“If only i was a 6’11” serbian man i would be in the league too” 😭😭😭

takeaway from the video: Aaron Gordon retires a happy man with great stats with the best trade that could have ever happened to him

A Thinking Basketball/ Kenny collab would be so dope

Must be awesome to be a teammate of Jokic. Just be in the right spot ready to score

Thinking Basketball is my favorite channel on basketball period. Always did find finesse, IQ and passing more alluring than power, elevation and crazy handles.

I think Jokic is the MOST entertaining player in the NBA and it isn't even close. The stuff that dude does is just mind blowing.

6:56"If only I was 6'11 Serbian man, I would be in the league too" 😂😂😂

"If only I was a 6'11" Serbian man I could be in the league too!" Gold, can’t stop laughing for some reason.

The fact that you can guess most of his passes just shows how great of a passer he is. Doesn’t matter where the man with the best look is, Jokic finding that mf

6:29 FIRE THE EDITOR 😂😂😂 thanks for the content ken you the Mvp

Ain’t nobody can guard jokic 😂😂😂

8:58 1000% this is the stuff that makes me miss coaching. When you see someone do these things is just beautiful

Aaron Gordon just knows where to be.

I mean, anyone can do it from a Birds Eye view with time frozen. What makes it incredible is he’s doing it at full game speed while the greatest Athletes in the sport try desperately to stop him.

11:24 Man, this one is crazy. So simple but I didn't think that'd be the best option until Jokic threw it.

AYE BRO DO THIS MORE THIS WAS MAD ENTERTAINING NGL

As soon as I saw that thinking basketball released this video I knew this vid would come

Watching jokic is genuinely so enjoyable

It's amazing just how well Aaron Gordon fits with Jokic. Orlando spent a very high pick on him and tried to force him in to doing too much and it wasn't the right role for him. Denver trades for him and he's been the 3rd best player on a championship team and fits like a glove with Jokic. GM's around the league should try and learn from this situation and try to put their players in the best position for them to succeed rather than forcing them to do too much and hope they just magically figure it out. It's the sunk cost fallacy where teams draft a guy very high in the draft and to put them in a role that doesn't live up to that draft position seems to just not be acceptable to them. They'd rather see the player fail at running an offense/becoming a #1 option and great defender than accept that they aren't built for that role in the NBA (Very few guys are) and adjust their role to what they would excel in to maximize their success as well as the team's success. Andrew Wiggins, Aaron Gordon, Iguodala, all guys that were critical to their teams winning championships after being forced in to roles they weren't suited for on the team that drafted them. I hope GM's start seeing this and putting guys in better positions to succeed regardless of draft position. It's better for the player and for the team.

It gotta be hard for guys like Bron, Jokic, and Luka to not think most of the league are just idiot pawns they can manipulate rather easily. Like I use to pride myself in passing too, I remember reading how Jason Williams would go to a gym at night and practice nothing but passes so I started doing that too. And in pickup games nobody moves or does nothing but that wouldn’t stop me from doing things like faking a pass behind the defender because I knew nobody was there but the defender didn’t. Another trick is to stare down the player you are not going to pass too because the defense starts to anticipate a steal they see you staring somebody down only for the ball to go an entire other place. Even simply shxt like calling plays in a pickup game when you don’t have plays but the other team may think you are running a play, these are all the mental aspects of the game that are easy to do and really effective.

Thank you kb for giving us great content all the time it truly is a blessing❤️❤️

FIRE VID🔥🔥

Love you bro

8:47 "Omg Daniel House, get that guy a map, where you going?" lmao was that a Chris Smoove reference!!?? he a legend

that was very engaging!

great video concept. clicked immediately.

THINKING BASKETBALL 🏀💡 🤔

i was at that kings/nuggets game so im glad i remembered the exact play that was shown

This was fun. I watch a lot of denver and mke and got the first half right just knowing each players best shots and habits

you ever see the new kenny vid and just know it’s gonna be a heater? yeah I’m FIRED UP

Best passer of all time

Yooo kennyy!!

Subbed

Joker my goat🃏❤️

To me there is no comparison between Jokic and Joel, Jokic is playing chess while other players are playing basketball. We are so spoiled as Nuggets fans 😊

Glad ur shouting out channels like Thinking Basketball. People need to learn more about channels tht do content like his and not just hot takes or overplayed narratives. Ppl who actually want to learn the game should watch him hes awesome.

Thinking basketball is amazing

Kenny when are you going to do a league like the nets one last year

Need more of these, maybe a collab?

Pozdrav from Serbia ❤

Thinking Basketball and BBALBreakdown channel are the best NBA channels

W idea, w Kenny

looks real easy with that camera angle

One of the best basketball channels reacting to a quiz created by one of the best basketball channels

I did not score well... even with a freeze frame and sitting here on a comfy chair at home. Man! He really is a "point/centre".

crazy this is a vid bro jus had a triple 15 on 100% fg

Yessirrrr

This is probably a test video based on his X’s and O’s comment on his podcast

So everybody can be a Jokic if they have 10 seconds to think before every decision, perfect view of the court, and ability to throw the ball to any place with great precision. I scored 11/15 in the quiz. I think I have got the IQ to qualify for Jokic’s role.

I miss Thinking Basketballs annual top 10 player list at the end of each season

The height advantage is one of the keys to making those passes to Aaron Gordon.

TBH this one is a lot easier than the CP one. The most obvious choices are taken most of the time in this video. Kenny (and myself) tend to overthink sometimes.

Pausing video, thinking it through, rewinding, etc isn't the same thing. Jok does it real time. Don't underestimate what this man does! 🙄

I played the video and yes, yes I can apparently

Damn you glazing Jokic

React to Larry Birds Ultimate Mix Tape!!

Joker out here using Aaron Gordon the way Brady used Wes Welker.

Those assists to bench by jokić..i bet he is doing it on purpose..to subtly show teammates they are at wrong place

In essence, it's all about persistence and the final outcome, we don't give up easily... 80% of Serbs simply live by that principle, nothing comes easily to us, we are taught from childhood to fight for ourselves and our goals. Our parents slapped us when we made mistakes and complimented us only when we really deserved it. We don't need therapy, we heal ourselves with persistence. With faith in Jesus we move forward 🙏💙

What happened to the franchise episodes?

Jokic is so easy to read honestly, if Gordon is an option, 9/10 it’s gonna be Gordon😂😂

Yay

If you just guessed Gordon every time you're right more often than not.

they should do this with jalen green

What is that cut at 6:32

3 minutes inn, and I'm certain you first watched the video, and then made this one. Three dollar bill.

Wow Aaron Gordon really is a perfect fit to Jokic

aye thats not kcp thats justin holiday lmfaoooo

Jokicccc💪🇷🇸💪🇷🇸💪🇷🇸💪

i can

I watched this video and made a different pass on every play. Guess I'm not an elite playmaker 😂😂😂

This video test is kind of ddd. It’s assuming that Jokic made the right decision every time. For example Jokic didn’t shoot a wide open 3. There are multiple options and several times he didn’t take the easiest option.

yoo big bro try react some msl game a small indian league 😅all star game, final whatever you want, you will get a lot of audience from India fo sure

i hope they do one with luka because some of luka'S reads and passes make no sense. man just throws the ball backwards

In conclusion Aaron Gordon is the greatest basketball player of all time

Watching this made me think about how Jokic has similarities to my favourite player of all time - Ben Simmons Ben also has a good read for passes … but joker can shoot the ball too!!!!! It is amazing how being able to shoot the ball increases a basketball players value on the court. When Ben has the ball in a stagnant half court possession the opponents sag off him. He won’t shoot so 5 opponents begin to guard 4 players who Ben can pass to. Ben still does well to often find someone. But joker - wow - with a deadly shoot he has opponents running in circles with no good options…..I predict joker is going to be a really really good player. Thanks for vid.

If we are playing against jokic we dont have time to think like this. So yeah jokic is the best

Mastermind! 🃏👑

I missed four

Here you can clearly see why Aaron Gordon travel every Summer to Serbia :)

No. Why would you even ask this?

@KennyToo what do you think about LeBrons non existing defense for past 2-3 years?

prolly not

prewatch

It’s completely different when you are on the court you don’t have the same perspective you usually just see the next player. But as a spectator you see every player. The title itself is an absolute joke

So what you’re telling me is Aaron Gordon is the best player of all time

I was the playmaker of my crew. We see the open spaces. We are calculating which open space will our teammate get to. Which open space will the D take away. We use our looks, and pass fakes to manipulate the open spaces. And if you have teammates that like to get the ball, they will learn to get to the open spaces.

Dont you EVER disrespect Anfernee Simons like that again Kenny smh

No. You can't. 🤷‍♀️

JJJ was a blockfest, he’s averaging 1.5 per game this year. Guy really misses playing next to Adams.

It’s hard because everyone is wide open, an illiterate person could read these weak off ball defenses.

I see a lot of bad defense.

This comment won’t get 2 likes

am i going insane bro this shit is not abnormally impressive most of this is just practiced actions

😮When are you gonna call out that racist 🦝 SAS? Stop being complicit. You know damn well Luka should be top 3 in the MVP race. Don't get @ me talking about Luka's defense fuck dat. Luka destoys SGA he's just too big.
