Shaq is salty that Jokic is just a better version of him while being a white eastern guy and treating the NBA as a sidequest

The disrespect to Jokic’s face live on tv is crazy by Shaq. He’s eating crow now

The best part about all this is that Nikola silently takes over and dominate everyone, on and off the court, so humble, easy going and down to earth, not a single bad word, couple of jokes, he doesnt even care about individual awards, a class act and best big man in this century, most likely ever.

I'm Black, and love Jokic! He plays the game!

i’m still laughing that neither shaq nor chuck were on inside the nba last night after the nuggets won game 5 😂😂😂 how you gonna talk trash and then not be there to give the man props the next day

Man. Jokic silently shut everyone up. Without saying a single word. It’s magical. After game 2 EVERY SOUL on ESPN counted out jok and company. Holy shit what a turnaround.

To NBA players, basketball is a science To Jokic, it's an art. And not even his favorite

Never underestimate disrespected Serbian!!! 👏💪❤️🇷🇸♾️

Way to say F YOU !!! To all the doubters!! Joker MVP !!

The fact Jokic still gets criticized like anything is crazy to me. He dominates the game in a way I have never seen. Every time I watch this guy play, it's like I am watching poetry in motion. He is the most exciting player in the league by far. Don't care if people say he's boring. Nothing is boring about his game.

Shaq trying to act like a man to Joker's face about his MVP award is perfect. It demonstrates how a child thinks conflict resolution should be handled vs how it is actually handled by a competent, mature, and self-confident person. It's clear Joker is a better basketball player than Shaq but doesn't care about that comparison. What he does care about is being a better person than Shaq, and in that category, he dominates him and showed it during that interview.

Shaq's ego is more fragile than Kawhi's knees

What a breath of fresh air Jokic is …doesn’t boast, doesn’t try to show up opponents, doesn’t gloss himself with a new nickname at every stop in his career.. he just plays and wins.

Jokic is a slap in the face of the "American arrogance" also in the NBA, that represents the fall of this "kingdom". Very simple and inevitable.

In terms of playing offense, Jokic is among the best centers, if not close to the greatest. It is crazy to have 40 pts, 13 assists, and 0 turnovers while getting defended by the DF player of the year.

Masterclass performance for Jokic

“Shaq talks a lot but we all swept him.” -Hakeem, MJ, Karl Malone, Tim Duncan

As a fan of Shaq who watched him most of his career I am very disappointed at how insecure he is today. Jokic has earned everything he's won & I hope he wins another championship.

Jokic wasnt even that mad when shaq said it to his face. He simply and proved why he is better

"No Disrespect to you" 😂😂😂😂 Yeahhhhh Rrrrigght Shaq

I don’t think Charles was being malicious like Shaq, he just saw what we all saw those first two games. Shaq was just being ignorant as hell, he wanted to see Nikola fail to keep him away from being in the Shaq conversation

Now they’re blaming Gobert, not giving Jokic and the Nuggets credit, honestly Gobert had a good game the fact is Jokic is unstoppable.

Anything that silences the media helps mankind

Jokic is one of the best players in NBA history.

Jokic has made a fool of Kendrick Perkins, now made a fool of Shaq this year! When are these two clowns gonna stop hating on the Joker? He keeps making idiots of them!

Wolves should sue Shaq for unleashing Jokic.

Jokic and the Nuggets showing everyone how a champion responds. I said it after game two, never underestimate Jokic and Murray. They're good in the regular season but when they hit the playoffs they're a whole new beast to contend with.

Not to mention Jokic is always classy and rarely complains or blames for losses.

Jokic = Action not words. He's a great player and person.

I was upset when the sports media started turning against Jokic and his regular season performances. All the loudmouths in the sports media said he wasn't worthy of winning MVP. After the Nuggets were 2-0, I said to myself, "I really hope Jokic and the Nuggets prove these haters wrong." I hoped they would turn things around so they could shut up haters like Stephen A and Shaq. I was shocked at how Shaq treated the MVP on live television. Instead of praising him for his accomplishments at such a crucial moment when someone is receiving an award, Shaq decides to bash him and tell him that he's not worthy of being named MVP. That was so tasteless and unprofessional. It was neither the time nor the place to make such a comment while awarding someone the MVP.

Great video, thanks! Nikola Jokic isn't just a great European basketball player, he's the greatest NBA player today, without question.

People would say Jokic looks slow on tv but that clip at 2:20 is crazy, he fakes out the defender, spins, throws it high of the glass and a crazy angle, we then follow the ball which misses, then out of no where Jokic teleports to the other side to tip it back in over 7 footers. amazing.

Just watch the reaction of his teammates to his receiving his MVP award and you will see where the hate/jealousy comes from. Ever seen that kind of admiration for LeBron from his teammates ?

Nuggets lose two games, one by 26, media experts tells me "it's over. it's a sweep. " Nuggets win three stright games, one by 27, and media experts are telling me "its not over, the wolves can still win game 6," and some are picking them to win both 6 & 7. Its more subtle but the hate is still there.

Bravo Jokiću samo gazi šampionski !!!

im not a big fan of basketball but last night watching the game with my bf, i was so hype and amazed by everyone. Mainly joker!! humble man

Never underestimate the heart of a CHAMPION!! Let’s Go !!!!!

Jokic and the Nuggets have saved the NBA from being completely unwatchable. I'm hoping they don't lose another game to really make them eat their words.

Chuck, Shaq, Stephen A,Perkins they are seething in EMBARRASSMENT right now I don't know how they can recover from this😂😂😂

"Anti Shaq" is so true, both in terms of playstyle and personality.

Kendrick Perkins is full of salt and still predicting the Timberwolves will win

I think it's fine for Shaq to have voiced his differences about the MVP award amongst Ernie, Charles, Kenny, and other analysts. MVP is always a subject of debate and discussion. But once you have the MVP winner in front of you as a guest on your show, it's disrespectful to tell them point blank you don't think they deserved it.

Joker is one of the greatest ! Those media guys must respect him !

Joker the Point Center. This dude absolutely will be in the GOAT conversation when it’s all said and done. This should’ve been Joker’s 4th straight MVP. Skills beyond skills.

Shaq's insecurity is showing he's afraid Jokic will eventually pass him on the all time list of top players. Shaq still has 4 rings, but it's his own fault he didn't win more MVP awards because he used the regular season to get into playing shape.

I just love that older fan of the game all seem to give props to jokic. So glad we can just apreciate greatness from such an unselfish player

You guys overestimate Jokics feelings about what others think or talk about him, he couldnt care less. He does not have this " i show him " mentality, he just plays his game.

Joker out here ballin and beasting!! Big, smart, team leader and team player. And one of the best coaches in the game! 💯

The Joker and the nuggets are the only reason I watch ⌚ the NBA

From being called weak and an undeserving MVP, into making Gobert look weak and undeserving of a DPOY. Crazy Joker. I guess credits for the team as a whole for adjusting, and Jokic himself for being more careful on the ball.

Jokic is the return of basketball, and I love to see younger players such as Anthony Edwards saying he is the best in the world and taking him as an example. It seems that the 2010s narcissistic attitude tired the basketball community, and finally, during the 2020s, we are witnessing the next shift with the return of fundamentals and real basketball as style and stance.

Let's not forget Shaq was pretty crappy in the last 2 minutes of the fourth and it was exactly when Kobe shined but yet cry baby "I got robbed of MVP's" Shaq got FMVP's. I won't say the Joker is perfect, but he is really not only great but also impactful! And the fact of him being himself, not caring of popularity and especially being the selfless leader which was recognized by Gordon, not some media superstar, makes him even more valuable! Kudos to that!

shaq is scary and unprofesional with those comments

i honestly respect the hell out of jokic and completely respect the whole joke where he just wants to clock in and clock out and go home because the entire media is against you no matter how many mvps you win, so if the league hates you why would you give a shit back

It always boils down to this simple statement: Actions will always speak louder than words.

Joker's performance in game 5 is the best performance of big man in a playoff game I ever saw.

The media couldn't wait to hate on denver, especially Nikola Jokic. Shaq really made sure people understood how he really felt about Jokic.

Kind of hard to argue against Jokic for season MVP when he’s averaging nearly a triple double. 3 more assists per game than SGA Joker shooting better percentage wise and shooting slightly better from deep over SGA. Men Lie, Women Lie ….numbers don’t lie

Rhetorical question from a friend: do Jokic's skin color and place of origin have anything to do with these negative judgments?

Solid narration. Shaq could shoot and make baskets not due to his skills but due to his size-weight-aggression ratio, getting so close to the basket that could not miss. Nikola is a true center who has the real skills at all levels.

Jokic and the nuggets got me watching NBA games again.

Shaq and chuck called in sick yesterday 😂😂😂

How can you criticize Jokic at this point? Come on now

I'm a long time Nuggets fan.....but after the first 2 games, TWolves looked WAY better.........dominating performances. NOBODY thought Denver would or could respond the way they have. It's truly special what they've done since then.....and don't forget, it's not over yet.

3 mvps and he is 29! Shaq was a bruiser. Jokic has finess, wonderful court vision, great passer, etc. There is no comparison - Jokic may end up being the best center ever and top 10 all time period.

I need Dallas vs Denver for the West finals just to see the NBA media cope and seethe to see the top 2 west teams with both thier top stars being elite Euro players.

The NBA is a side chick for Joker.

Shaq always had a superstar on his team, Jokic is THE superstar

Stop hating on Jokic! Give bro his flowers!

Jokic is the best player in the world by a large margin. If anyone disagrees with that is either a plain hater or it’s race driven.. There’s no other reason to not consider him the best in the game.. there is not one player in the league that is more impactful when they are on the court than Nikola Jokić. And what’s crazy is it looks like he’s doing it without even breaking a sweat. He has cranked it up every single game as they get deeper into the playoffs. I’ve been watching basketball basketball and have been a Suns fan my whole life and I haven’t seen a player impact their team more than the joker. Obviously he doesn’t have the resume that LeBron James has or Michael Jordan but if this man keeps it up for another 7 to 10 years, we could be talking about him as the greatest player ever. He doesn’t speed or quickness to dominate so I feel like he can maintain this level of play or get better for years.

They all mad and salty about Jokic winning an MVP meanwhile Jokic is not even interested in winning the MVP

Picking Jokic to win Game 6. I thought Minnesota would win in 6 after Game 2 honestly. I was wrong but Minnesota looked so good.

Omg if Jokic wins the title again this year shaq is gonna somehow claim “it was do to my motivation in the second round that he got this chip” and that it was somehow a Big Man Alliance test and that was shaq’s plan all along

Never say it's over till it's over 💯💯💯

Shaquille O'Neal did not have half of Nikola Jokic skills in basketball. Let's not pretend we have forgotten the "Hack-a-Shaq" technique to get him to shoot free throw and he failed miserably.

Crazy fact is joker still hasn’t played with a all star in his career.

Shaq seems to almost blame Steve Nash for winning those MVPs. Nash just played; he didn't get to vote.

I told my friends the other day they were crazy for counting out the nuggets after going down 2-0. For one Minnesota is a young team playoff wise and 2 Denver has been all the way through the playoffs. It’s all 1 game at a time. But most of all YOU CANT COUNT OUT JOKIC. People think he’s a passer but his pace and strength can’t be matched by anyone guarding him. And also his touch is the best I’ve seen. He always knows where the rim is, he can just toss the ball and score it. He’s HIM

Love the jokers game! Plays like he's on figure skates. So smooth! 😮

I was shocked and blindsided by what the wolves did in games 1-2. I thought if any team could right itself after that it would be the Nuggets but it looked so bad. After game three I sort of breathed a sigh of relief. Jokic is just too good of a player to simply disappear like that! Now here we are!

That “zero turnovers” with as much as he handled the ball is actually insane. 🤨🧐!

Jokic reminds me of when Agent Smith killed neo, but then neo came back and absolutely destroyed the agent and everyone else. Nobody believed he was The One, but he was

Jokic doing all these awesome performances guarded by 2 seven footers, the best defense in the league, and in games where most would panic and crumble. Not only is he consistent like no other player in history, but he ruses up when needed most. IQ is on a different level too even compared to someone like Luka, who would make boneheaded plays at times. Jokic goes for what is needed & efficiency.

And also Uncut your edits have always been, On POINT, 🔥🔥🔥fr

20% of me agree that Shaq poked the bear. 80% of me see that Jokic is just pretty Spursy that way. Just do good work and let your game do the talking.

Thank you for reminding people on how Shaq hated on Howard and Bynum, showing that his hate isn't based on race but his fear of his stock falling among big men

It’s not how flashy you move…it’s all about smart, smart, smart = JOKIC. You just telling the people who you are… when you talk. It’s not the person they talking about. Jokic has well mannered responding to the criticism. Reflect Jokic’s who he is. Have respect to JOKIC👏👏👏

Shaq is the epitome of subjectivity in the case of Jokić receiving 2024 mvp award. Disgusting and disrespectful behavior on behalf of Shaq during the interview with Jokić.

Shaq just hating that joki is better than him when he was still playing

We done with the 2020s, overweight horse farmer treating the “super athlete era” like piñatas

Jokic plays the Center position foundamentaly better than any one Ive ever seen, and thats enough to put him in MVP status

It’s crazy bc chuck has been championing Nuggets for 5 years

I'm a Wolves fan, but small part of me is happy Denver is whooping them because of the media.

It’s a good point that Chuck was in the same situation before. He was two games ahead but lost the series. He apparently has not learnt his lesson.

I've found that anytime Kendrick Perkins predicts something, fly to Vegas and bet the opposite. You'll be winning big!

"It's not about the trophy, it's about sending a message" - Joker

Let's go Joker🤡🤴🏻 Balkan brother🗣

The ESPN set is full of people moonwalking and Spittin feathers. I’m expecting them to get to the final course of the meal Jokic served … Hot humble pie served by the MV3

Shaq poked the bear, we thank him for that here in Denver 😆

Jokic best player of universe
