It’s especially impressive after how well Minnesota defended him in games 1 and 2. Joker had his “Jordan rules” moment and was turning the ball over a lot. Three games later, Jokers not only back on track but putting up 40 and 13 with zero turnovers against the same defense that we thought had a shot. Beyond Minnesota, I don’t think there’s a defense left that can slow him down. Thunder might have took 3 of 4 from Denver but they never bothered Joker

Don't forget the 13 assists😂

WHO

Shit crazy but that won’t happen on Dray

He wanted a speech in that trophy presentation. Just to dedicate it to the dominant big man on TNT

Lmfao Hakeem stomps on both ends 😂😂😂

Its 4x mvp, they gave the Crybaby a mvp that it should be his

Yes. Let's be realllll honest. Smart can shoot. Draymond can pass. Robert just Stands.

He cooked Wemby for 43 earlier this year also. Joker can't be guarded just like MJ couldn't.

@@LaidBack-- Hakeem only made it to the finals twice and only won one MVP lmfao.

Let’s chill on Kareem’s hook. Lol. Joker doesn’t have the sky hook and he doesn’t need to.

MJ's "I took that personally".

Mchale is the post goat, and Jokic is surpassing him.

No. He can't fly like MJ or handle the ball like AI :-)

I guess that you are old because on how you use this LEGENDS on JOKIC's greatness ...

I been watching the NBA since the days of Wilt Chamberlin and could not agree more my friend...LOL

Winning DPOY doesn't mean that you are a good defender against Jokic. Gobert won DPOY because of his defensive brilliance against 29 teams over 82 games. Jokic is just a bad match up for him.

@@berryesseen what's a good match up for jokic...one on one???

​​@@user-oh5yt6gf5dYou remember the big flood?😅

​@user-oh5yt6gf5d No you haven't

When he was down 0-2, it was the "MVP is a regular season award" now that he up again. It's "That's why he clearly the MVP". This is exactly why people don't like him.

​@@Ifreshylactivethat's you are just a poor hater people hate hin just is the best player in the world and he is not american

Its amazing that Jokic is incredibly humble as well. He's never responded to critics, but only plays his heart out and shows why he is the best player in the league.

@@Ifreshylactiveyou were going around hating. Stop playing make believe with yourself and look at the facts.

​@@Ifreshylactive why? do you want the fans to use his bad game in the playoffs to vouch for his mvp? you dum asl. why don't you use this game as proof that ant is the next jordan? you can't. that's how things work lil bro, you take the positive things and use them for arguments. must be your first time on earth.

he does literally all of those things, Jokic is the best player in the league (By far) but a chronic flopper, whiner and instigator as well

And no gangster thug life off the court either

@@mmmmmmmmmmmmfooddo you even watch the games??

@@michaelh8854But I do hear he horses around a lot off the court.

Teamwork win championship

​@@humblejustridepalawan4655that team needed a leader dumbass stop hating, denver would be nothing without Jokic

According to Jokic fans he's the only player to ever go down 0- 2 in the history of the playoffs. The Bucks went down 0-2 twice on their finals run and they were joking with each other, not throwing heat packs on the floor trying to injured the other team.

Shaq's fault.

He's the perfect leader on the court. His teammates love him

AND....he RARELY falls to the floor unless there's serious contact.

Because he jump less

Tim Duncan had great footwork as well.

He's been passing like magic since his rookie year. Dude is a beast

and he's 290 lbs and can't jump...it's crazy

yeah thats crazy, dude is the best player by far and its his time that alone should give him the edge over other candidates

Joker is GOAT

He’s amazing, and he makes the game look so easy …

@@kimchiman51…. Nah, that’s Jordan, but he’s definitely the best player in the league right now … He’s got a lot of basketball left in his career, we’ll see where he ends up, could slip in the top 10 or top 5 of all time when it’s all said and done … Lot’s of basketball left though

​@@kimchiman51calm down white boy!

Yeah Embid should just return what wasn't his. ha!

Take the Embiid one. Ship it to Denver.

👑👑👑+👑 4 times MVP in a row! One was brutally stolen from Perk&co. last year.

ASAP!

If he wins the chip. He’s gonna get finals mvp

Exactly right.

100% Embiid is fake MVP.. Always 1st round EXIT and cry about MVP awards 😂😂😂

Embiid crying mvp

No need to be rude against Embiid who deserved it as well as Jokic. Make you some sore haters here. And im not even an Embiid fan.

🤣 Sounds like it to me… Nuggets in 6 fu!

He got like 8 rebounds as well

0 turnovers against the one of the top defensive teams, guarded by the DPOY.

He seems like an elite NHL center like Crosby or Connor McDavid with the ability to score but also has insane passing abilities leading to a ton of assists.

Offensive load and per shoots to the moon

Scoring 40 in today's NBA isn't hard.

jokic mindset, calmness and control of the game is unmatched right now.

SGA is so good that he couldn't even get OKC to make the playoffs last year. If you put Jokic in OKC last year, OKC wins the chip.

yes

That hook is close to being a sky hook. It's unguardable.

And Duncan

He's got every move in the book down to a T

He's literally unstoppable. Defenses can't even fully commit to helping, because he will instantly set up the open man with an easy bucket. So they just have to watch helplessly as their teammate gets cooked over and over...even when it's the DPOY

Tell that to Shaq.

Haters fueled this performance

Ok delusional clown

Michael Jordan won the NBA MVP award five times during his career. Here are the Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award winners for each of those years: 1988: Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) Interestingly, in 1988, Michael Jordan himself won both the MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year awards. 1991: Dennis Rodman (Detroit Pistons) Rodman was known for his exceptional rebounding and defensive prowess, contributing significantly to the Pistons' defensive dominance during that period. 1992: David Robinson (San Antonio Spurs) Robinson was a dominant defensive presence in the league, known for his shot-blocking and overall defensive skills. 1996: Gary Payton (Seattle SuperSonics) Payton, nicknamed "The Glove," was renowned for his perimeter defense and is the only point guard to have won the DPOY award. 1998: Dikembe Mutombo (Atlanta Hawks) Mutombo was famous for his shot-blocking ability and his signature finger-wag after blocking shots. He was a dominant defensive force in the paint. These players were recognized for their exceptional defensive contributions during the years when Michael Jordan was honored as the league's Most Valuable Player.

@@SinaArsani bro, it's just a meme. I don't really consider Jokić as the GOAT😅

a comment you can hear.

@@user-ov6ht3lu4d ow , my bad 🙂

Come on you know why. It's the shade of his skin

and because he is serbian.

Wolves fans who called this series or "Fraud alert" after up 2-0 are in absolute shambles, and unbelievably silent.

@@littlesmallworld123 "Everybody acts tough when they're up." T-Wolves fans having a post-Luka, Devin Booker moment, I think.

@RavegHer rather the explosiveness instead of speed, but everything else is on point! Go Nuggs!

Yes.. That is the thing. And tbh if you give me one player to build around my team it would be him.

Lmfao. Still hasn't beat a 50 win team

shaq hates gobert as well we aint forget he prolly did this on purpose to get rudy gobert cooked

I think Sheq will hate Gobert more 🤣

Rudy played very well, -2 when he's on the floor, this is just unreal offense from Jokic

Man, I don’t know where all the hate for rudy comes from. Just because draymon the donkey says he is barbecued chicken are we supposed to believe it? I think its more credit to nikola and the team, rather then “rudy not playing well”. Don’t get it wrong, Im a huge jokic fan, but the slander for rudy sucks. It kinda reminds me of jokic, when SAS or perk talked trash about the big fella. And rudy seems like a nice guy on court. He seems to just play and not trash talk, like ant.

​@@rickyricardo2006because he is a crybaby when he didnt make the all star, and hopefully he will never again win dpoy after this match. He is also the most overrated player according to anonymous nba players poll...

Why? Rudy is an amazing player, great athlete and decent human from what I gather. He did about as well as he could in this game, Jokic was just on another level. Worlds greatest Defenders of all time couldn't stop a man like Jokic. Rudy is a bitch for many other reasons, but this game was not one of those reasons.

Jokic one Vs one against Gobert game 1 to game 4: 11/28 fg.

He didn't show up in TNT today. He's scared.

@@berryesseenshaq on tnt: i motivated jokic and he should thank me for being up 3-2

He do be hating and called uncle shay Shay out smh ....

shaq the big BBQ CHICKEN!

Zero turnovers

Greatest center ever i agree mj will forver hold that

Lmfaooooooooo

@@jjab430 I stand on it, even after the elimination.

Calm down! Jokic is all time, but he'll never best center of all time, much less the greatest player of all time. Could be the greatest center of his era, though. That's still all time great.

​@@codyfrance2537if wins 6 mvps and 4 finals would u say greatest center ever ?

Lmfaoooooooooooooooooooo

Buy him a stable and maybe he would stay

😂

Stop giving that dumbass credit. Jokic would've exploded with or without his comments

100%

jokic je upalio svoj inat zbog shaq veuj,znam taj mentalitet ljudi,kada upale inat rade nemoguce stvari

Coach malone showed the entire team every clip of the media trashing them after going down 2-0 also 😂

And then win the fight. 😂

And you'd believe him.

It’s crazy that there’s still gonna be haters

He finally lost some weight he’s even better now… league is screwed if jokic gets fully in shape

​@@guisonveillard3570 shaq is still out there hating

Celtics will choke this chicken and turn it to nuggets, Tatum will show why he is the right mvp no. 1 seed

@@100percentBrooneselmao tatum’s aint 💩 most overrated player today

I wish he was here to talk to Shaq about the Joke Show

Minnesota definitely the best defensive team in the league & are a great team all round. They didn't even let Denver just run away with this game.

I mean it wouldn't count as a turnover for Jokic shotclock violation counts as a team turnover.

He did it last game too

My friend you spoke too soon.

​@dennowoFine, then 2nd best this century.

What did he say?

​@one3497 he said back against the walls, they just named you mvp, i expect a signature game from jokic. Basically saying if he is who he really is, he'll show up and find a way to win. And he did basically

Is a 13-0 assist to turnover ratio against a defense some were calling the best in the last 25 years any good? Holy cow. 🤯🤯🤯

KCP is the reason why he didn’t have any turnovers

OKC in 1-2 years would be on that level

@@plusnew8306 I mean the Joker didnt care on taking the to

@@plusnew8306you really going to count Jokic dribbling out the clock?

I agree. I was about 14 when LeBron came into the league and was a hater when he left to Miami but after like a year I realized I should appreciate that I get to watch his career instead.

In any era!

Easily the best center since Shaq.

@@jsgames6843he’ll be better than shaq when it’s all said and done.

@@Jason_Voorh3es i doubt it. Shaq played against much tougher defensive rules and still dominated.

Even Shaq will say he loves joker his face says different thing

You fan boys just talk out your ass like little inmature girls..shaq has 3 years straight saying jokic is the best player in the nba

Don't get me wrong, Murray is an awesome player. But he ain't no Kobe or 2006 Wade.

​@@IvanRandomDudeyeah, and it's not close

@@IvanRandomDude OMG, can you imagine him with Kobe? 😲😲🤯🤯

it is for regular season not playoffs

​@@antdoge29and these play offs show why Jokic is MVP just like regular season. We can clearly see that Jokic is the most consistent player in the league and that was the case even in regular season while Luka had many up ls and downs.

​@@hristijandimitrovski8664Yes, Luka's highs were higher (73pts), but lows were lower and Joker was most consistent throughout the season.
