Nikola Jokic stands alone as the NBA’s most innovative and uniquely skilled centre. Centres are traditionally the big guys, the defensive bodies, and the guards are the creative, nimble ones.
So how is Denver Nuggets’ Jokic such an effective 7ft Point Guard?

You sound like im watching national geographic channel 😂
Here, we have Nikola Jokic, a rare creature, in its natural habitat 😂
@@ruatahmar5987 There he is, in highlands Denver, Colorado. Though rooted in Serbian, his roots were spread around Europe and has a growing number. Many has claim a rare sighting of Arvydas Sabonis, roughly in Oregon as one of his ancestors...
Imaju nogometni kanal od 1mil subova pa ako želiš pogledaj
Stick around man this is legit informative content
Lmao so truee
“Bump bodies beneath the basket on both ends”
What an incredible alliteration
Jokic is the best/most efficient high volume scorer in the NBA...a perfect mix between old school postups and strenght under the basket, and new school perimetar game...
And a genius all-time passer AND elite rebounder AND one of the clutchest players in the nba. Next season is all about playoffs, it’s WCF or bust
@@blicleak1101 man I really wish mpj and Jamal were healthy last year. I absolutely think they would have won a chip, but now the western conference is ridiculously stacked, so idk. If they get a good run I think they can def do it.
tbf I would like to see tifo cover more euro league stuff as well and how players like Luka, Jokic and Giannis got their skillsets from there and where the differences between that and the NBA benefits these players.
I think that could at least help tifo make itself different from other basketball you tubers and lean into their european audience more
Yeah, I would love more Euro basketball content. I feel like I would love Euro basketball. A lot of their best players have such great court vision.
I hope this becomes a series which explains the game of different players. A video on Luka Doncic would be appreciated. He's getting a lot of media attention now so that video will probably get more views. Also, most viewers here presumably come from Tifo's football channels so Luka's connection with Real Madrid should also result in more views.
A video explaining the differences between European Basketball & NBA should be fun as well.
Euroleague is coaches league while the NBA is a players league. That's the essence but there's more layer's into that, for example how players are being teached, in the NBA there's a split between bigs and guards, but in Europe that split doesn't exist everyone is learning the same game, later on when players reach senior team (in the Europe that can be when you are 15,16 it doesn't matter and they play against the grown man before they get into the NBA and then you have drills to suit your position but no before that), in the US players in the HS are usually way more taller and stronger than anyone else so they used to dominate the game and every ball is coming to your way but they are missing team basketball but in the Europe team basketball is learned from the get go, first drills with the ball after the warmup is actually passing the ball, it's called fireball - you're imagining the ball is fire and you have to get rid of the ball as soon as you get it.
And fundamentals is something that is very important, from the "before you make the move fist tap the ball" to the pivot foot and that's something that you learn right away from the first steps of your "career" and ofc the proper technique of shooting the ball with the arc and ball above the head and lining up the shooting arm, precision will come later in the first years you simply don't work on the precision it's more important to do everything correctly from catching to lifting to release and follow up + get back to the defense if you are the shooter, you don't wait for the ball or to move towards the rim, depending on your own skill but you teach to move right after the release.
That's the difference and I would like to see the someone dive in to that. In that way I believe the changes in the coaching will came sonner than later. The European coaches already picked up the best part of the US coaching and that's why the players are NBA ready now when they enter the league it's just matter of conditioning and having correct nutrition while in the NBA every single player have their own program that's made for them and that's the difference today.
what i would give for a basketball fm style game. also a video on the rookie class of 21 and 22 would be a really cool way to get newer people up to date with the game!
you have that all in nba 2k
@@FuSiMentor 2k is basically fifa
There’s basketball GM for free on browser, but it’s not detailed
We need a "sensible transfers" series on this channel, would like to see the Kings lol
This man I remember from the Norwich video like 5 years ago!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Well done!
Loving everything about this video, very well done.
Jokic is a joy to watch!
These have been awesome
Didn't knew David attenborough cover basketball too
They even got the new trophy right amazing work
Nice video edit,the Joke the real MVP.
This narration is as poetic as Jokers game
watching this when Jokic won a championship
Will you cover Euroleague basketball too?
with how good the tifo team is using stats in their football videos, I'm surprised to see such an abundant use of per game stats when per 100 (or even 75) possesion paint a more clearer picture, by removing playtime from the equation
They fixed Isiah Thomas this time lol just as I guessed it.
still wrong mvp mvp trophy, in video is one for FINALS MVP.
2 months 38k subs. You’re on a role!
dude's whispering in my ear but at the same time is so loud
finally someone who pronounces jokić half-decently, i'm used to americans completely switching up pronounciation their way lol
Yoo Kíc
@@conorcassidy7112 i'm serbian, it's definitely not yookic.
I thought he was pronouncing it wrong.
It's yo-kitch
There's no J sound. Most people I've heard say his name correctly.
@@ckq the guy in the video says yo-kitch though. 0:37. with a short o, most similar to how it's pronounced in serbian. unlike the long oh americans pronounce it with. he even says nikola decently, not nicohhla like how americans do. (except he says /nikəla/ instead of /nikola/). the only nitpicky thing would be that the tch in jokić needs to be softer but i've never heard a foreigner hit it right so whatever.
anyway, the guy in the video says the name the most close to the original native pronunciation that i've heard anyone related to the nba or fans ever say it. it's not that deep, i just appreciate it.
Great vid.
I keep expecting someone to switch the subject to Mbappe or Messi🤣
this popped up back right after 2K announced OOP Jokic as PG. Huh.
To this day i still want to watch a taco bell ad with jokic
Uhhh I really hope this channel makes it so it can entertain me as much as the football channel does already! Really liked the video!
Why do i get mouth full saliva listening to this is beyond my imagination.
The joker is so underrated
Point Center
i love this vid cos i was a fan of tifo football and i m a fan of jokic. but man this accent was so damn weird
Need actual basketball footage.
You forgot something: Stats are for nerds so ALL OF THIS is irrelevant for the MVP-Race
@@kylehowe6761 Some people dont understand the most heavily applied sarcasm...
lol yeah, subjectivity is the most relevant or how they call it "eye test". Haters always want to change the narrative. The best example of "statistics are not relevant but wins" is when Joker beat Embiid in H2H game than they said yeah Joker got the win but Embiid had better stats. In that case stats are more important than wins 😂
For people who don't know anything about basketball, most likely.
@@skiron5453 unfortunately a lot of people think like that, so it's kinda hard to know when someone is sarcastic
@@velikoslovog7526 True unfortunately but I think I made it pretty obvious :/
