That’s because Ernie and Kenny joke around as well.

Yea it’s not the same at all

Behind the camera people make a difference.

I'll still take this over ESPN's coverage

You need all 4 because of their chemistry. It's super hard to re-create this for TV. You need everyone to be different, but also work well together. I think the only other group that can replicate this would be the trio from Top Gear, now Grand Tour.

it’s truly unbelievable the mediocrity in the ESPN broadcasts, and just the bad choices.

Fr! They’re so much better than everybody it’s absurd 🤣

Chucks the best! Honest articulate and analytical.

glad shaq and barkley is there to save the show

Bland and unseasoned is such an accurate description lol their terrible

he's a walking triple double without even trying, just naturally gifted with how he approach the game no need to stat pad.

I do too. The Nuggets actually play so well as a team.

Yurp.

And he's white ❤

​@@English_MoFo I mean he's a Serb, so barely.

Right! It’s almost effortless.

Too easy for him 😂😂

He had a great game though. Dishing dimes in the 1st half, and the put up like 12 in the 4th when we needed him the most

The Heat are light work for Jokic and Denver.

As a Laker fan, the Nuggets are fun to watch. Basketball is great again. I just hate watching how the NBA became a 3 point shooting contest. I hope the Lakers come back and challenge the Nuggets but this is just their magical year. Kudos to them.

Shaq is a gentle giant, Charles is the mother of all bullies.

@@LuisFSilva-gm9ms🤓mother of all bullies🤓 chuck just doesn’t sugarcoat anything.

Comment I was looking for 😂 😂! I hope they never stop roasting each other 😂!

Exactly. He plays the game correctly and effortlessly. It's beautiful to watch.

Kendrik Perkins is having nightmares right now....

@@h3ct0r28 and he is a foreigner so KP is going to eat those words lol !!

@@h3ct0r28 And dont forget that racist white guy that hired KP to his cushy job. He must be soooo oppressed

Jokic can stat pad as long as he win

No not just Sabonis. You have to add Oscar Schmidt too. His 46 point game in 1987 vs the USA opened a lot of eyes before Sabonis did.

​@@FuShengAlex :Oscar was the Brazilian version of Larry Bird!

@davidmontgomery1442 Yeah you tell yourself that. Schmidt roasting a team led by Robinson and Manning (the same guys Sabonis faced) was a huge shock for American players and set the wheels in motion. Nobody had ever previously went off on an American team in such a manner at the international level. And to add salt on the wound.....it took place right on American soil. Sabonis the following year in Seoul burnt the house down in terms of not bringing the NBAs American best to international level tournaments, but Schmidt in 87 lit the fuse.

@@ipaporod Yes he was. It's not fair to mention Sabonis and leave him out when talking of the formation of the Dream Teams imho.

What's funny is jokic is no better than sabonis or divac , basketball just isn't the same game

And the way he did it so relaxed, its insane how mentally strong this Nuggets team is considering this is their first NBA finals. Having a coldblooded killer as a leader like Jokic means a lot

And the most assists ever in a finals game (14). And he extended his record of most triple doubles in one play-offs (9).

Fr i hate the abc commentary. Unbelievable that they dont cover the finals

SuMmEr VaCatiOn

True, every other NBA show or even podcast are trash compared to the holy foursome of Shaq, Chuch, Ernie and the other guy... :D

No Ernie’s a crime too

The thing is that it won't matter who they get. People are going to watch the finals regardless of network/commentators. Bringing Shaq and Chuck, as much as I agree are way better than anyone for this, won't make a huge influx of viewership. If people are going to watch, they will watch. So they see the numbers and keep whoever. The way to get them would be to not watch if they aren't on it, which no basketball fan/watcher would do lol. So yeah I want Chuck and Shaq and the TNT crew in general but sadly it won't happen based on this.

Yep, as soon as I heard him saying such nice things with his eyes wide open I knew the switch had been flicked in his head. Shaq is a Big Honey lover.

He was the leading scorer for the whole game as well, outscoring the Heat players as well

He took quality shots.

@@everythingabouteverything9442 he didn’t become the leading scorer until the fourth quarter, Murray lead most of the game.

@@jasonshumake777 talk about a closer, best player in the league with ease

@@LUVWANDER it’s hard to play against him if you double him he’ll find the open guy and if you single him he’ll drain some baskets. The fact that he is unselfish makes it even harder.

Jokic wishes he'll ever see 20 finals games

@@ControlledBalance he needs to see at LEAST 16 finals games to win 4 rings bruh hahahahha??

@@ControlledBalance I would say winning a ring with the team he got drafted by has more value than joining a super team and winning rings. So he really only needs 2.

42 = N Word 😏🤷🏽‍♂️

@@robertmistkowski9879 You played yourself kid, 4/20 is 20%

4. Miami players need to and can step up like max strus and caleb martin

@@fidudgdhdustill too small yea they can score but who’s gonna stop mpj and gordon if jimmy doesn’t guard them

Miami might take 1 game. “MIGHT” lol

You DO KNOW there's more rest days in the finals, right?

The Denver simply outplayed the Heat tonight and that’s continue to happen. The Heat has talent but their D couldn't control Aaron, Jamal and Jokic. Nuggets in 5!!!!

In fairness, Shaq and Chuck weigh around 18 times as much as Bam and Jimmy.

Only if you hung chicken wings around the Denver players necks… 😋🍗

It's not that the heat did bad It's the nuggets being the number 1 team like all season

Chuck would be BBQ chicken

@@kvall4088 Coulda said Nuggets :(

That's why we should hope his son and his Kings can win

And he did it with two bad wheels!

Prime Sabonis toyed with David Robinson in 1986 World Cup

He was nice af

Jokic = real MVP = RMVP

Thanks, Sherlock.

@@areitoboricua shut up, killjoy

He don't play defense All the teams gotta do is drive to the basket he doesn't defend the paint

@@anthonytaylor7928 oh yeah "he doesnt defend" thats what weve been seeing all playoffs right? he went against some of the best drivers in the league LBJ and AD and he had no problem

Yep, it's just a delight for the ears. Good, articulate analysis, a bit of humor and on set chemistry.

I’m a Pacers fan. The Dunking Dutchman is a legend here in Indiana.

Heat have to get them in foul trouble

Hope it's not a bubble repeat. Had the same issue with AD. Couldn't defend his size either.

@@dowhatyouregoodat oh it’s definitely not going to be a bubble repeat, this series will end way sooner then that. 😂

@@RiruKrypto_ you're dreaming. HEAT in 5

@@floffice976 HAHAHA! Everybody (But YOU) knows that the Nuggets are the best team in the NBA. Denver in 4!!

NBA TV must have written him a blank check

He still getting the check 😂😂😂

There's time for a round of golf during the day, and for a few beers after the game. Honestly, I don't know if the finals change Chuck's normal schedule that much 🤣

Lil henry!

Big Check Chuck 😂

The refs being one of the biggest problems.

​@@BAND-MAID-USA I'm a fan of neither of these teams, but stop crying man. The heat weren't able to stop them without fouling, they're much bigger. Yall cry babies put it on the refs everytime a team loses.

​@@BAND-MAID-USA maybe the Heat should try to get to the basket instead of chugging threes and they'll end up with some foul calls

@@markocurcic6314 yeah cuz everyone shoots 3 free throws in a playoff game. Oh wait. Tonight was the first time in NBA history. There were at least 7 offensive fouls committed by Nuggets in 2nd half. About 4 phantom calls against the heat back to back and at LEAST 5 fouls of clear hits on the hand and arm of Heat players. Whether you’re a fan of a a particular team or not. The refs closed their eyes on almost every fouls Denver committed. That’s just facts, not crying. One of the reasons American sports are such a joke is the refs. In every sport the refs dictate 75% of the outcome. American sports are considered entertainment and can legally be rigged for a certain outcome. If you don’t believe that, look it up yourself. It’s a fact. American sports have turned into a joke. Watch Miami will win by 16 on Sunday. Me ya back here then.

@@BAND-MAID-USA the refs help lakers and Celtics, they could care less abt the heat and nuggets

Not having Ernie do the finals is a travesty

@@nmarshall8995 I hope it happens soon in the finals .The whole crew.

Missed out on history

To me they both look big Kids.. specially St. Charles..

@Javiii104 what do u mean?

Surprised they didn't mention Bill Walton

@@zu0832 Yes, very similar kind of talent in terms of physical dominance plus incredible skill

Young Arvydas was a P.R.O.B.L.E.M.!!!! He was one of the most incredible players I've ever seen!!!

Yep. Sabonis was a stronger, more athletic Jokic. Similar passing skills, Jokic a better shooter (although Arvydas could shoot) and has more post moves. But a similar level of greatness in their primes. Jokic like Arvydas is going to be a factor in the NBA way beyond his athletic prime. That size, plus insane basketeball IQ is all that's needed to have a long career.

Sabonis was good, but nobody was beating MJ. Just ask Shaq what the Bulls did to him when they adjusted. The only player that would have challenged the Bulls was Len Bias and that team they had w Celtics.

Jokić❤

Sabonis was bigger, stronger and could jump higher. Similar basketball IQ, but not quite as many post moves and not quite the same shooter. But overall, very similar in terms of overall quality as a centre to Jokic (that's Sabonis in his prime of course)

Same thing they said about Milwaukee 😂😂😂 2 years later coach was fired

It’s definitely a possibility.

Tbh Coach Malone has far more grip on this team than Coach Bud did.

Aw stop he doesn't play defense

😑stop it dude the nba is soft asff today compared to Duncan era… jokic slow ass would not be talked about if he was in that era wit dem rough boys like Tim, David Robinson, Shaq, gtfohhh

@@anthonytaylor7928 you sound hurt, Jokic is the best player in the world and owns your favorite player rn

@@anthonytaylor7928 Jokic in 8 Seasons edges out Tim in points per game, rebounds per game, and three times as many assists per game. Tim has over 2 blocked shots per game and Jokic has less than 1 so that is the only major difference where Tim was better. They are both 6’ 11” with wing span of 7’3” for Jokic to 7’5” for T.D. They are similar body type with Jokic having about 30 pounds more weight🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Agreed I loved watching the pacers

consistency will be the key butler and bam both have to get 20+ pts each game cause it looks like that is what murray and jokic are going to give you plus other heat players also have to be consistent nuggets are very consistent and to begin to unravel them heat also needs to be consistent

That double digit lead in 1st half hurt miami.

@@dayus_pitayeah bro.. nuggets are incredibly consistent! They never had a bad game against the lakers. Always consistent and always pushing. Nuggets are winning this series easy bro. They swept the lakers.. Miami got no one to body Jokic. Even against Gordon they struggled. It’s a wrap

@@yenwuraaku8562 Never say it's a wrap after one game. I would never wish it on anyone, but something like an injury can change the whole face of this series.

Those guys won’t quit on Spo and Riley. That’s why they made it to the Finals. They might not win a game in this series (who knows) but they aren’t gonna roll over and die.

It's not a " best kept secret" . Many folks have been watching for years.

I knew NBA TV did a postgame show, but I didn't know Barkley was ever on it.

Has Chuck done this before for the finals?

Kenny does it a lot......Chuck and Shaq is like every other game (or the first two) and then you see the others like Steve Smith, Isiah, etc but you do get Kenny for most of the series (Ernie is on his break before doing baseball for the rest of the summer)

That's what happens when your players are too scared to attack the basket.

When the referees dont call any fouls, you're not getting to the line.

Altitude hurt... They'll get it back

Scared to attack the basket and chuck up threes even butler couldn’t

@@crazypeoplearoundtheworld304 bc nuggets didn’t need to foul when heat busy chucking up shots lol

Obviously, they mean traditionally or commonly athletic as in fast and strong. He's strong but not fast. There are other types of athletic feats of course, but you know what people mean...

You can’t be the best player in the NBA without being a superb athlete.

Search for Damian Lillards take…… dude PLAYS IN DENVER guy is in fantastic cardiovascular shape just not gonna win any swimsuit beauty pageant

They are comparing centers, most centers would just score physically using size advantage while Jokic is more skill based center who can pass and shoot 3s

He’s not super quick or jump out the gym with high flying dunks or blocks. Hes mr. Fundamental 2.0. They said Tim Duncan was slow and boring. Well Duncan is a top 10 player all time. Jokic might crack the top 5 when it’s all said and done. Should’ve been 3x mvp. He’ll have a finals mvp with a ring. Sill got plenty of years left to play.
