The craziest thing of all? Dude gets no whistles, the NBA wants him to fail and it's still not enough, he dominates anyway.

The Nuggets starting five are like the NBA's rejects. The Lakers let KCP go. Magic let Gordon go plus he got robbed in that dunk contest. MPJ was supposed to be a #1 pick but dropped to 14th after Clippers doctors said he would never play and several teams passed on him. Murray is a beast in clutch time and of course, in the playoffs but may never be an All-Star. And then there's the Joker. The super second-round pick was criticized and scrutinized, judged harshly by people that never even seen him play a full game until he won it all, and then everyone finally saw what Nuggets fans have known for years. They each won individually in the lower levels of basketball, but to win in the NBA they must join together to form the unstoppable robotic juggernaut force known as... Nuggetron! Joker is the head. Murray and MPJ are the arms. KCP and Gordon are the legs

Jokic's most devastating power is always making the right decision. Even when you watch in slow-mo you just can't find a better plan than the one he chose.

The greatest quarterback doesn’t play in the NFL but the NBA.

No disrespect to Magic Johnson, but Jokic is the best passer of all time..

Mamba mentality

Joker is getting better and better in defence every season .

It really bugs me when people say he isn’t athletic. You can’t be that good without being extremely athletic.

That trio of Jokic, Murray, and Gordon is tough to guard. You have to stop Murray on the perimeter and then put some bodies down on Jokic which always ends up with a baseline alley pop dunk to Aaron Gordon.

Nuggets fan here. We are not worthy of Nikola Jokic. Im just trying to be grateful I get to witness his greatness.

Draymond fouled the hell out of him on that first layup too and of course there was no call… because he’s not Joel “McFloppenstein” Embiid

Many unjust things from refs to Jokic, many fouls non called on him, like he isn't NBA superstar...

Hes not slow! He is mythological..... huge difference. Minimal speed, intelligent. Every move has a purpose.

I’ve been to two Nuggets games now (I live fairly close to Denver) and not only was Jokić playing both games, which can’t be said for most other stars, he consistently was trying to win. He always plays to win, and that’s remarkable I think because of how many players nowadays just coast or let the loss come to them. He’s my favorite player of all time, and it’s crazy because now whenever he has an “off” night, I expect more from him even though it’s still a solid stat line for almost everyone else in the league. I’m glad to see more people are realizing how solid his defense is, and he is 100% a deterrent in the paint. He doesn’t go for crazy blocks, but he has insanely quick hands and it seems like players now instinctively back down from making some weird moves or passes around the rim now because he’s there and able to read the play.

Jokic is the prime example of being so good and such a great team player that you can elevate players to higher levels

i pray he is able to continue. healthy and happy. we are witnessing true greatness in their prime. jokic is MJ level talent WITH that dawg in him. just look at jokics reactions to game winning passes. even if he dosnt make the assist. he is ALL IN every single game. he 100% understands legacy. and the best part. he is able to seperate himself from basketball completely and refresh whenever he needs to. just dont mistake his love for horses as a lack of passion. he clearly studies film as much as anybody in the history of the game. his on court IQ is off the charts. IMO, smartest player to EVER play.

Draymond called out Jokic's defense on national TV and ever since then Nikola has improved immensely on defense.

If he can play like this for the next 4-5 seasons and they win 2-3 more championships he will be in a GOAT conversation

I literally couldn’t care less what topic you’re making a video on, I see you upload and I’m watching immediately, keep up the good work bro

He is the guy at the gym who looks like he never even seen a basketball and gets picked last and then he just goes in and dominates everyone

As a Serbian, I (somewhat strangely) really appreciate and give kudos to people who actually know how to pronounce his name. It is a strange pet peeve of mine, and it's not like it's a huge deal, but I've been listening to people from the media for years now constantly mispronouncing the Nik*O*la part and it's driving me crazy. Firstly, to a Serb, it just sounds kind of weird and wrong phonetically, but more importantly - I'm upset due to the fact that these people couldn't learn (or change) the way they pronounce his name, and the guy is literally an animal and, hands down - a basketball god. Like, that's the least you can do. One could even argue it's slightly disrespectful. Anyway, long-time sub here, I love you content, keep it up! Regards from Serbia

Unstoppable force. Future 3rd MVP and 2nd FMVP...

true NBA fans know Joker is no joke. Its the utter disrespect that he gets from the media, which is baffling.

People are underestimating how strong he is. I think he's top 3 or 4 strongest players in the league.

don't mess with the horse whisperer

that playoff stat line from jokic is insane

the all star game break was really needed to recover some energies. a rested Joker is a deadly Joker

Best player I’ve ever seen

Being a warriors and Losing to jokic and the nuggets after being up by 16 and lose by 16 hurts but jokic is just him, he's overpowered

A huge reason for jokers endurance is his efficiency, it seems like every movement he does is with intent, not to be flashy, just to get where he needs to go and do what needs to be done.

6Man, keep doing what you are doing dude. Subscribed in the summer during the playoffs and I've been watching your vids ever since then. I really think that next year you will have double the subscribers. Stay safe, lots of respect from Serbia 🤟

And the best about Nicola is one thing, he doesn’t give a s…t about fame and being in the center of any attention, he loves his game, he loves his teammates and most of all he knows what is true value in his life. NBA is transition to his financial freedom. And thanks for your hard work, it took lots of work to edit so much material, keep on and thanks again.

Jokic is able to just use his talents to the absolute max. Not a lot of players can do that.

Said at the beginning of the season they will go on to 3peat and I will stand by that.

Great editing...good enough to make believers out of doubters.

espn people should go to jail for ignoring him

He simply is that good.. PUT IT IN ANY CONTEXT YOU WANT.. He is good

I'm truly sick of hearing the "zero defense" and "unathletic" narratives, obviously coming from people who don't actually watch the game. He's fitter than most of the people who label him that. Beast on Joker 🤙🏿

Love the videos bro! Big fan

Jokic strong endurance is because he uses horse power and has many reserves back in his hometown

I think Minnesota this year really could give the Nuggets trouble. That starting five is perfectly designed to beat Denver in a 7 game series. Of course they play each other three more times before the playoffs but I’m fascinated by that matchup now that Minnesota is healthy and has chemistry.

watched this high and now i’m picturing jokic reading passing lanes on defense. i think he is good on defense because of his ability to visualize plays on offense. he thinks so fast

I don't know if this is your first sponsor, but congratulations man, you've earned it.

6man bringing the heat

Comparing Embiid or Giannis passing to Jokic is wild. Whoever tweeted that should stop watching basketball and go do something else. Great video man, you really nailed it, and the level of detail of explaining the wizardry of Jokic is heard and acknowledged. EDIT: Imagine if Deandre Jordan was to play some minutes with Jokic and 3 shooters. That would be fun.

When it’s all said and done, he’ll be the best to ever do it

it just like watching old retired magic/nash/kidd playing with random kids they may the slowest among them, but their vision gets better than their games against nba player because they can see everything from the top of everyone's head

as a boston fan, its terrifying to face dnvr. i dont want them to repeat and its still diff to find their weakness on offense

Do you run the 7man channel?

It can be solved if they bring back handchecking and no 3 second rule in the paint. Everyone is so open thats why its easy to pass and read a play.

But also basketball ball in his hand stays shorter time than other players. For example Luka Doncic time with ball contact is double.

jokic is a throwback to the 80s/90s. and with the way the league is, its hard for any player to truly stop him. and with the nuggets being the killers they turned into, we could potentially be looking at a modern dynasty on our hands.

Never been anyone this big with this much skill.

If you ever want to come to Colorado,I can host you. Let's go to a nuggets game .

Love this truth!!! 💪🥳

Djdnt expect thr video to end like that

The talent gap between American and European players is starting to become evident. They play with more strict rules overseas and it shows just how easy they have their way in the NBA.

The games when he decide he don’t need points

I been telling everyone everywhere that after allstar this team will start getting prepered for another CHIP..... dont get me wrong, they will probabbly have 1 or 2 more blowout losses just to bring in youngsters in rhythm and see who is ready and whos not for playoffs.... everyone says they dont have dept and maybe on papper but they all forget that in playoffs everyone in that squad elevates to another level, and last year was same story and they went for ez run working one for another at harmony.... also there is no adjust for nuggets with jokic on the floor, there is only 1 option "pick a poison".... as always brotha well said and put together!!! Jokara brat!!! MVP!!!

Incredible Joker! 🃏

Jokic would be an amazing nfl quarterback.

His defensive plays against the Warriors were very Draymond like. He guarded multiple guys in the same action. He baited people into doing what he wanted them to do. Kind of incredible to watch.

He’s absolutely insane. I live in Englewood CO. He’s in my Mount Rushmore of Colorado athletes. Nikola Jokic for Nuggets Joe Sakic for the Avalanche John Elway and Peyton Manning for the Broncos The entire Nuggets team, not just Jokic is sensational. So fun to watch.

The 2020s so far as an era has been the most competitive I seen in my experience watching basketball no team has yet to win twice or even go to back to back finals. I mean heat got two finals appearances in this decade if that counts towards anything.

One correction, Steven Adams can throw full court like Jokic. Adams does it regularly and holds the NBA record for the longest assist.

What he cant do?

Jokic reminds us that basketball IQ is the best skill in offense and defense. When the game slows down, it really boils down to two questions: 1. do you have a solution for them? 2. do they have a solution for you? This is where Jokic shows his real quality.

These fools that say he's not athletic have no idea what they're watching. Joker is 7 foot John Stockton ❤

Jokers and the nuggets are gonna win back to back championships and there's nothing any team can do about it.

His defense has been so underrated because people always think block is the only way to defend. Jokic disrupts offense by clean taps.

He's the 6'11" Larry Bird that loves his horses more than trash talk

Every Nuggets fan or basketball fan.should watch this video. Great job!

on point

Just look at the Warriors' bench reaction!

A little fat is actually good over a 82 game season. Makes sure you never run out of energy.

On spot 😊

4:35 was that an alley-oop from an inbound pass from half court? I wonder who holds the record for most assists from an inbound pass? Is that even tracked at all?

Magic still the best passer. But I will put Jokic 2nd. Never thought I would be putting a center in the best passer list. Bill Walton would be there if he wasn't injured all the time.

There's something about Jokic that reminds me of Tim Duncan. He's much better on O and not as good on D, and not as athletic, but he's got that grace and skill and economy of movement. And his look of sort of detachment.

The one lacking physical attribute is explosiveness, and for that reason he's treated like he's some unathletic ogre. No, he'll never blow by anyone or explode of the bounce for a monster lob, but aside from that he has all the physical tools you could reasonably ask for. He's big and has a huge frame, with all the power and strength that comes from that. He has good length and wingspan, which helps in so many ways. He's mobile and has elite endurance, which more than makes up for his lack of explosiveness when it comes to versatility, and last of all, he has legit outlier body control regardless of position. These physical tools are why he can grab 15 rebounds at will despite not being able to out jump the majority of other bigs, or why his defensive numbers are consistently elite. People don't realize there's FAR more to defense than rim protection and on-ball perimeter defense, and Jokic is elite at pretty much all of it. Oh, and his rim protection isn't even that bad, probably because fans underestimate his wingspan, it's just not elite. These are the physical tools Jokic is working with, which for his size is a pretty solid bag. Combined with his mind it's enough for an all-time peak, but he's not Professor X out there in a wheelchair

Every time he is a bit tired he passes and when hes not he scores, the problem is he changes tempo for every game. Go time Jokics pace and you got a shot and its impossible... he is tunning his tempo the way he enjoy... sounds simple but its not ...

0:55 This is traveling, i.e., 3 steps after gathering, right?

His craziest pass to me is that 3/4 court lob to AG on a dime

3:53 yes we have NEVER EVER seen any player doing such things. Not even Bird, not even Magic, not even MJ

I have been watching BB since the late 70's. I have never seen anything like Nicola Jokic. He is an all time great, just hitting his prime.

If you've watched dray's latest vid, with all the abilities of jok, the defenders will feel like they're chasing him instead of defending him.

We are spoiled in Denver, after all these decades we have a champion!!

Those tippings, though..

The Joker makes it look too easy and yet he’s hacked all the time and doesn’t get half the calls that the Fakers get.

Jokic is like Lemillion from My Hero Academia his weaknesses became his strengths

"watch him go around dramond" man took like 6 steps

In that best playoff records since 1985 chart, where are the 2001 Lakers? They went 15-1 that year, swept everyone and then lost game 1 of the finals to Philadelphia before winning 4 straight.

First 3 clips, 3 uncalled fouls 🤣🤣🤣 Jokic traveled on the first one though

Before the Nuggets championship, this team had been doing good for years and wondered when they were going to cross the line and be true contenders. They did last year, became champs. I still call them my favorites to win it all this year. There are teams right now with better records, but the Nuggets are championship tested and proven. I'll take them over anyone else right now.

He's like a dodge caravan with a 3000hp 2jz in it!!!!!!!!

3:14 What’s even crazy is that the Nuggets aren’t even a superteam. Yet they managed to get the best playoff record.

Yes, sir! 🫡💯

2:50 Intersting how my timberwolves low key the best against him, I got faith in a wolves nuggets match up for sure. Especially since we were 1 inch away from forcing a game 6 last season without Mcdaniels or Naz reid and kat played like shit.

Jokic doesn't force plays, he is just efficient, not flashy. Even his flashy passes have a reason. He doesn't dunk, even though he can do it easily, he doesn't run faster than he needs. He's just efficient. NBA players have a lot to learn from him

Many of the things he does he makes it look so easy you think well why doesn't everyone do it. He just plays at a different level
