Jokic is shutting up all the haters with this performance! 40 points, but the most impressive thing, no turnovers!

40 points 7 rebounds 13 assists 0 turnovers with 68% FG, this guy is just different

You know he took it personal when he starts dunking and turning on another gear. It's crazy he has another gear 🤯

Not going to lie here. As an old-school Bulls fan living in Utah all my life, I have to say I really like watching the Nuggets play. Can't stand Denver, but hey, it's not their fault. Also, I'm biased toward Jokic only because I lived in Eastern Europe for a while, but he's the epitome of their culture. Humble and hard-working. Dude is awesome.

Perkins 2023: " Embiid > Jokic " Shaq 2024: " SGA > Jokic " Jokic: " Hold my horses "

The MVP against the DPOY - 40/7/13 with 80% shooting and no turnovers. Excuse me but that was one of the greatest performances in the NBA's history.

Joker is officially my favorite player in the league. He has that old school toughness that is hard to overcome. Quiet, professional and straight to the point. These playoffs have been amazing.

Was fan of nba for years until I found out that guy awaken beerus riggs all these gamees. How could he otherwise possibly know the results before the game. screw this…

MVP 💪 F Shaq, F Perkins, F Arenas, F Wright, F ESPN as a company, sports network and media conglomerate

When Joker dunks bench and crowd went crazy like a hell. When he felt down immediately, 6 hand helped him. This shows how teammates and fans love him respect

Underated gordon. Just wow! Amazing performance from him. Good at offense and defense.👏👏

Shaq will scream in his pillow before sleeping tonight

Thank you Shaq for saying SGA should’ve won MVP in front of Jokic.

When JOKER dunks twice, you know it’s over

Jokic cooking 3 big guys and one of them is the DPOY! Inside, outside, Gobert had no answer. He would probably have nightmares for a while. The most impressive thing about Jokic is how he makes his teammates play better. His teammates are really thriving well under his leadership. Porter jrs, shot selection and positioning got better. Jmurray an above average player now an elite player, Braun as well improving each game. Gordon was an average player before, but now under Jokic guidance is heading towards becoming a great player. Now that’s a hallmark of a true MVP!

40 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, and 0 turnovers. Jokic is the first player in NBA playoff history to achieve this line in a game, per Basketball Reference's StatHead.

Jokić Deserved MVP. End of story

When Jokic dunks in a game, he actually means business

The media always gets on Jokic’s back when he chooses not to take a lot of shots. This game, he (once again) showed what happens when he decides to aggressively score. Unstoppable low-post scorer.

Between the 5:45 and 6:03, Jokic scores on the top 3 bigs of the Minnesota

40p , 13a , 7r , 2s , 1b and most of all 0 turnovers . Masterpiece

Jokic winning an MVP is not a fluke,a historical performance. Denver does a huge adjustments not only on defending Anthony Edwards also on offensive end.

This is Aaron Gordon's extra performance. He helps Jokic more than Murray in this serie.

Jokic: Oh yeah, just an efficient 40-point game with 13 assists and no turnovers... This man is on another level Good defense Gobert!!!11 Keep going bro

Amazing passes by Jokic. The full court pass to Murray is just gold.❤5:30

Gobert- I got him. I got him Jokic- brother I have 40😂

The Joker was aggressive and it showed why he deserved the MVP. Ppl need to stop their prejudices against this fella and appreciate what he is brining to the sport and for the resurgence of the big man role.

Welp, this is pretty much over, the wolves might have a chance in the upcoming years, but for now is Jokic Era, this guy is really really special

As one of the people who counted out the nuggets after game 2, I humbly apologize to all nuggets fans. These guys r legit, and joker simply can not be figured out, he’s truly a magician on the court

Jokic is only 29. When all the dust has settled and barring injury he will be remembered as the greatest center of all time. His game is phenomenal.

Biggest compliment I can give jokic is he makes it look so easy. He puts on a master class every time he’s on the court. He can do it all at the highest level. Shoots like dirk, passes like bird, dominates paint on offense like Duncan. He is the best in the NBA and if they win back to back to rings?

FreeDawkins youre a goat came a long way from your start

thank you to Shaq and the crew for pissing off Jokic saying he don't deserve to be the MVP. Jokic took that personal and now Timberwolves are taking the heat for it

This game was a love letter from Nikola Jokic to Shaquille O’Neal.

Jokic is turning a 4x DPOY into a Defensive Liability 😂. Most skilled big man of all time!

Absolutely love seeing Jokic flip the switch and go berserk on offense. Never seen him so hyped before.

Jokic: - 10th in PPG - 13th in Steals - 1st in deflections - 3rd in APG - 4th in RPG - 1st in PER - 1st in Winshares - 1st in Winshares per 48 min - 1st in player impact estimate - 1st in box plus minus - 1st in on/off BPM - 1st in Value Over Replacement - 3rd in offensive rating - 5th in net rating - 2nd in amount of triple-doubles - 2nd in amount of double-doubles - 2nd in FG% within players that average over 25ppg (almost 60% from 10-14 feet away from basket!) - Epic game winner vs. Golden State - Tied for best record in the West - No all-stars in his team - No Jamal Murray for 23 games - 1st in amount of regular season games played among players who averaged over 25ppg - Almost average a triple-double Shai: - 1st in PPG - 2nd in Steals - 10th in APG - 20th in RPG - 6th in PER - 2nd in Win Shares (behind Jokic) - 2nd in Win Shares per 48 (behind..you guessed it...Jokic) - 4th in Value Over Replacement - 4th in Box Plus Minus - 8th in Player Impact Estimate - 23rd in Offensive Rating - 35th in Net Rating - 73rd In Double-Doubles - 0 triple-doubles - 2 triple-doubles in his whole career! As you can see Shai only beats Jokic in Steals and PPG. Jokic decimates him in mostly every other stat category under the sun. There's levels to this and Shai wasn't even close. Jokic was so far ahead in the MVP convo that they had to try and make it interesting by including Shai and making it look like he has a chance.

Jokic is historical player.. he does everything on the court

I'm actually interested in the NBA again some great players at the moment a really exciting time for basketball. Jokic is a special player, it's a real treat to watch

The most efficient Center in history! 8:46 , LMFAO

"You were good Jok, but Shai deserved it more than you did" *Famous last words*

KCP running over to give Jokic no turnovers was pure class.

Jokic can shoot 3s, midrange, freethrows, dunk, layup, assist, block - basically, everything - without having to showboat!

Incredible. Just incredible. Shaq and the world provided them with the little bit of extra motivation they were lacking to gear themselves up for a repeat. Now we're seeing a whole new level to this team and Jokic in particular! And no, it's not that Minnesota is shrinking under pressure because they're not! The MVP and best player in the world has just tapped into another gear as we're all witnessing. Make them respect you! Literally. 💪🃏

Jokic locking in and playing serious is SCARY. He completly took over. Literally was everywhere doing everything.

When jokic received his 3rd mvp after just down 0-2 vs timberwolves I wanted to see his response to the series and also the doubts from some people of him winning his 3rd mvp. And damn he responded like an mvp .

Denver looked unstoppable they continue to keep playing like this they are going to win it all again

Jokic is crazy good. No disrespect to other centers, but this guy has a very well rounded play compared to others. If you were to build a center player, this guy is the foundation. Go win them titles Mr Jokic 💪👏

40 points , 13 assists, no turnovers... Give this man his respect

Jokic dunking two games in a roll? Yeah he mad mad 😂

Genuinely the best few year run in history from Jokic he’s actually my goat

Jokic is proof old-scool legends like Bird would THRIVE!

Shaq: Jokic is not mvp. Jokic: And I took that personally.

Braun and KCP were incredible especially when they had to double team Ant. Ant was struggling. Joker is special

Goddam some of those Jokic passes... He is creating a new position, "Point Center."

Jokic a fait l’amour à Gobert dans toutes les positions!!! Il n a pas vole son titre de MVP!!! Quelle prestation!!!🔥🔥

It's just amazing how easily Nikola Jokic turns a DPOY level player into a North Korean championship level player

40 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, and 0 turnovers. Jokic is the first player in NBA playoff history to achieve this line in a game, per Basketball Reference's StatHead. 🍗🍗👨‍🍳

I remember some people saying Reid was "the Jokic stopper"😂

Most crucial game of the year so far. Denver fans can thank Shaq who poke the bear

What NJ did here is simply one of the greatest performances a center has ever made in the history of NBA. Not just because of the 40 points, but also how he assisted his team mates and how he solved complicates situations all over the court. Jokic is basketball!

Jokic out there just toying with everybody. This is a grown up monster in a kids game… simply unstoppable🤙🏻🔥

Your sound editing/mixing in these highlight packages is impeccable. Appreciate your work Dawkins.

That was one of the greatest performances ive ever watched with my own eyes

MVP performance by the real deserved mvp

40 PTS 13 AST 0 TURNOVER , Unbelievable

Impressive 40 point performance by Jokic❤❤

A little late, but I want to congratulate Nikola Jokic on becoming a grandfather a few days ago. His grandson was born in France

Shaq pissed off the Joker and now he's unraveling

Enjoy Jokic's career we are truly witnessing one of the greatest. This performance was a masterpiece and he is not done yet, this is not his Mona Lisa he just warming up lol.

5:30 look at that iq, as soon as he know that he can secure the ball after he tap it with his left hand, he immediatly turn his head to look for an open men on the other side of the court. That flip of switch from offence to defence is on another level of basketball genuis.

Wow! Jokic is an all-time great. That was a performance for the ages.

Никто как Йокич! Ни блиско! Нагетс демонстрирует настоящий баскетбол, то зачем мы любим эту игру! Волки, честно говоря, выгледили безидейно, наверное понимая что все зря, что бы не делали. Влияние Йокича на игру огромное! Просто, огромное!

This is truly a game that will be watched for the ages. The Timberwolves are great, but these Nuggets were 100% as a team. Not to take anything away from the other players, but Aaron Gordon has been critical to keep the flow going and Nikola, he's the Man on the Pale White Horse. He scared Shaq and Chuck so much they couldn't show their faces.

The Denver Nuggets is a basketball sports team at the edge of space, they travel together with the ball towards the winning gravity of a stellar basket. Simply divines, simply strong, light and at the same time fast as the wind. An eternal and unique spectacle like the sound of the sea and the dancing and sick poetry of human successions and dynasties. Thank you Nuggets for these continuous emotions at the magical heart. Ohh my god.

The Nuggets fr figured out the Wolves. It was 0-2 and now 3-2? That's honestly really impressive

Jokic shows who the true MVP is😂

Jokic msde it personal. He didnt wanna lose

Braun is nice with it too though, we all know Jokic is the man but don't sleep on Braun

TBH THE JOKER SHOULD HAVE 4 MVP'S

I've never seen anything like Jokic. No big man has ever been able to do what he showed here. Ever.

Immediate vision and dime, insane 5:32

Shaq is going crazy 😂😂

Denver a true championship team, well done!

Jokic demonstrating why he's the MVP and putting the kid on the other team in his place 😂👏

I can't even be mad that these guys are beating us, they're so good it's ridiculous 😂

Amazing play by both teams. Interesting to watch. Tnx4sharing. Congrats NUGGETS for winning again. 1more win and its over.

Man, in fact Towns and Gobert played not very bad tonight, but Joker really a monster tonight.

Gobert: Don't double, I got him! Jokic: Brother, I have 40 and 13.

First of all give Joker the credit. True MVP performance. Now I want to take about how you defend him in current NBA. Under the current officiating, Joker is unstoppable, maybe limitable. When he elbows his way to the paint, If you don’t push against with your chest, he bulldoze under the basket and score at will. If you do so, he raises arm and head and the ref blows the whistle. He is too smart. He knows when to use force and when to act like fouled. So It requires a lot of intelligence and physicality to limit(not stop) Joker. The ideal defense is to be physical without fouling, to use body and then back off a little, to anticipate his turns and stay in his way, to try to contest as much as possible. And sometimes you may even try to pull the chair and let him fall, which he does many times against Gobert. However Joker’s IQ is higher than that of KAT and Gobert combined…so, unless Wolves coach figures out something new or the officiating changes and allow more body contact, Game 6 will just be a repeat of G3,4, and 5.

YES! This is the kind of game that we need! Both teams are playing impressively

These playoffs have been fantastic. The wolves/nuggets and knicks/pacers games have been amazing.

Edwards was talking big against Murray last game, but is quieter than ever today. He got humbled.

if this series was your first introduction to Rudy Gobert, you'd be questioning how tf he won DPOTY 😂

Nuggets meteor is about to hit the 2024 finals. Amazing team, amazing effort, go Nuggets go. You well deserve the championship.

When Jokic sees Gobert: 🍗😋

Might be greatest adjustment in Playoff history everyone counted Nuggets out after going down 0-2 at home.. Nuggets are legit Dynasty in the making.. What a 4 year stretch by Jokic..

The scream in Denver is crazy

Thanks for unleashing the beast Shaq

Denver nuggets finally realized that there the Denver nuggets
