Jokic is a special, special player. Person. Stating the obvious... but what an absolute joy to witness his play, and then his analysis. A special everything.
One of the greatest big men of all-time vs one of the future greatest big men of all-time. I'm glad I got to watch this game, even if the NBA was too dumb to think it would be worth broadcasting nationally.
As one of the BIGGEST SPURS FANS in San Antonio ... As is in our culture to never forget.... Nikola Jokic Will never be Forgotten and will always have our respect.... GSG..GREAT GAME....alien in the mask 👽
I feel the same with Jokic as a Spurs fan. Hes my favourite player to watch, and this was such a contest! You’ll win tomorrow, I just hope it’s as close
Jokic needs a better team. They're wasting his peak. And what an humble person he is. Saying Wemby will be one of those we never forget is such a huge compliment coming from the best player in the world. Love this guy. He's himself and very sincere. I hope he gets the MVP 3 or 4 times again.
@@Vivaildi Agreed with most of what you said though id say Luka proved he was best player in world last year. As for a better team, Luka played with G leaguers most his career until they finally made a move for Kyrie. Jokic has Murray, Gordon, KCP, Braun(whos solid). Reality is they overpaid Murray and others thats why they cant upgrade roster
The Last. 5 years best player in the world vs the future GOAT with two other HOF on the court ... and Adam Silver forget to schedule the gane on national TV. Pathetic
As a Spurs fan, the ONLY time I ever root against the Nuggets, is when they play us. Good game! You’ll beat us tomorrow, but hope it’s still just as exciting as this content was.
When a special player calls another player special...thats a lot of respect. I can see any future games between these 2 almost become instant classics. Good health and long careers to both men.
most of his turnovers were just great defense, wish he would keep the ball high. He won't cough as many up in their next match up, and if we can win with 8 turnovers surely we can win with less 🤷♂
I am a Spurs fan. But I love Jokic such a class act. What amazes me about him he does not have elite athleticism, quickness. But he always gets his shots off, and is a great shooter.
0:40 “Maybe I should have let him block it, maybe it would have gone out of bounds [and Denver keeps the ball.]” This guy is a genius. Literally no coach ever would teach a player to allow the opponent to block it on purpose if the alternative is a turnover. This reminds me of Jaren Jackson saying that Jokic is so tough because sometimes he misses close shots on purpose off the front rim, because he knows he will gather his feet before the defender and jump, get the rebound, and shoot it again, and this is a better alternative than trying to make it straight away on the first shot. Jokic is unbelievable.
The respect that wemby has gained in what... 12 months, is out of this world. For starter, he calls him Wemby. Yes, there is a great chance that Wemby will be the next one-in-a-gen-star, and I wish him the best
Jokic is everything LEBUM isn't. Classy, gives other young players props. Wemby is up next, LEBUM should just retire and let him take over but he's too selfish and egotistical to let go. They're the ones actually continuing JORDAN's legacy.
Last play Porter needed to move either to give a better passing angle or cut behind his defender who was doubling Jokic. Standing still one defender was able to guard 2 Nuggets. Ugh.
5:20 ohh. he is touched, you can see him getting emotional. the fact that so many fans voted for him, means a lot. I think he actually got the most votes from all NBA players (this round)?
The the commentators that that's asking all the questions to my friend Joker remember he's a dad he has a newborn at home he don't just go home and go to sleep now he go do his work out do his lifting he might be with the baby sometimes come on now y'all consider that when you're asking him these outrageous questions
*Jokic: one of the biggest generational talents that is being wasted the most.* It took Malone and Denver managment the longest (8 years) to win the first championship (with Jokic) and a full decade (10 years) to win just that one championship.
People forget that Coach Pop let the Spurs get decimated when Tony Parker was telling Pop about this kid from France. I know there were others within the Spurs organization, but Wemby was being developed to play in Europe. Oh, he'd be good in Europe. Great. But you need to be where the best players are to get better sooner to become legendary. So hoping Pop is getting well, but remember Coach Nelson and Coach Pop when great players like Jokic, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker and so many others from places elsewhere getting recognition. It wasn't Stern or Silver. It was the humanists like Nelson and Popovich who made it happen. They didn't look overseas for just one country to reach out to. The game was secondary. Were they players with character? Across Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe: It's all one big Pick Up Game at the park. We need more courts around the world, especially here in America. Good goals. Get out there.
Jokic is always crying that he's fouled. He clears defenders out by elbowing them in the chest and pushing them back with his free hand. Then when the defender gets stiff he makes contact and his legs become jello and he falls down. The referees need to call him, Jokic, for a foul... or just don't call a foul. What a crybaby Jokic is.
Jokic is a boring player, loops the ball in from 2 feet out.. that's the majority of his points in the paint. Then he throws up giant air balls from outside. He needs to be called for fouls when he elbows his defenders.
Such a gentleman and intelligent player.
No one will forget you Jokic. Amazing player.
Imagine the NBA actually realizes when these two play each other it’s prime time
jokic wemby or giannis any of them playing agaisnt each other is worth watching
And we getting the rematch tomorrow 🎉
@@daddychill6396before embid got his recent health issues he was also in that conversation
I would say AD as well but he just isn't on that level
Isn’t it funny that the 5 best players are not from USA?
@@daddychill6396 nah bro, i gotta see lebron's crusty ass flopping and mediocre team again and again until he retires.
Jokic is a special, special player. Person. Stating the obvious... but what an absolute joy to witness his play, and then his analysis. A special everything.
One of the greatest big men of all-time vs one of the future greatest big men of all-time. I'm glad I got to watch this game, even if the NBA was too dumb to think it would be worth broadcasting nationally.
I need to watch more Wemby games, but watching highlights it’s hard to even see him as a big man. He plays like a big ass wing.
@@ColonCommanderon offense he does, on defense he’s a real BIG
yes we're witnessing something big like when MJ came to the league. It's so enjoyable.
@@ColonCommanderbig man on defense and big ass wing on offense
@@ColonCommander in fairness that’s bc he is a big ass wing 😂
From a Spurs fan, Joker is pure 🔥🔥🔥
Jokic aint in Spurs but you got another Serbian roots man there ...Gregg Popovich or in Serbian Popović
@@gloopdogg1145 that's why he's admitting that even if he's not rooting for the nuggets Jokic is fire
Jokic is the MVP. And Wemby is the next.
As one of the BIGGEST SPURS FANS in San Antonio ... As is in our culture to never forget.... Nikola Jokic Will never be Forgotten and will always have our respect.... GSG..GREAT GAME....alien in the mask 👽
High praise from the best player of the nba.. damn wemby is already a monster
As a nugget fan I love watching wemby! Him and Jokic have the best matchups. Jokic will be retired by the time the nba puts them in primetime.
I feel the same with Jokic as a Spurs fan. Hes my favourite player to watch, and this was such a contest! You’ll win tomorrow, I just hope it’s as close
If NBA was smart these two would be prime-time TV. But they keep promoting all these other guys.
@@Premium_Water yeah, they are europeans. As simple as that.
Jokic has become such a pillar of the NBA., Watching him play makes things look easy, he makes me feel old too when I try to move like he does.

@@readmycomment3707 Luka played with Kyrie Brunson sory mate Jokić didnt better team than Luka....
This man is already a legend!
i love how he gives thoughtful answers. it’s great to hear his perspective of the game
FACTS! And although he doesn't like media he ALWAYS has respect for others!
The Last. 5 years best player in the world vs the future GOAT with two other HOF on the court ... and Adam Silver forget to schedule the gane on national TV. Pathetic
I watched the game.

I like how the chemistry between Jok & Russel works.You,as a watcher can practkly feel and enjoy it.
Jokic is the man and a blessing to basketball. What a truly classy human being. He is truly an amazing bb player and a truly great human being.
Gotta rate the fact that jokic shuts down the are you tired question and doesn't make excuses
He loves competition, he thrives in it
my king jokic!..win or lose i am with you
Even though Wemby has 8 turnovers he did great under pressure especially with 5 fouls. What a game. Both big men showed up
to’s are a byproduct of playing hard he had 3 stocks so really only 5 turnovers tbh
most of his turnovers were just great defense, wish he would keep the ball high. He won't cough as many up in their next match up, and if we can win with 8 turnovers surely we can win with less 🤷♂
@@amityvvilleYup.

Spurs fan here aswell..... yea Joker seems to have alot of Duncan's vibes
Spurs fan here. Nikola, you will be remembered forever too.
now i'm thinking really highly of jokic. he's a real cool guy.
Better late than never
rematch tomorrow against spurs is like watching playoffs in january!
The new NBA should look like this.
0:40 “Maybe I should have let him block it, maybe it would have gone out of bounds [and Denver keeps the ball.]”

Jokic at Wemby: U next, big fella, u next!
Two classy and amazing players
The respect that wemby has gained in what... 12 months, is out of this world. For starter, he calls him Wemby. Yes, there is a great chance that Wemby will be the next one-in-a-gen-star, and I wish him the best
He calls him Wemby because he can't pronounce his full name like the rest of us lol.
Gotta love the fact how he doesnt give a shit about anything-he just wants to play and enjoy the game, nothing else...GOAT!
Jokic is everything LEBUM isn't. Classy, gives other young players props. Wemby is up next, LEBUM should just retire and let him take over but he's too selfish and egotistical to let go. They're the ones actually continuing JORDAN's legacy.
Smooth.
This was the Nuggets best chance to beat the Spurs. Wemby will not get in foul trouble at home tomorrow.
Joker is a GOAT
Neverovatno kako ovo izgubise,Maloun je trebao da trazi tajmaut,2 je imao
As spurs fan. I hate when spurs play the nuggets, cause i want my spurs to win, but i also like the nuggets.
MPJ was supposed to cut through the lane (which is what Gordon would of done) instead of just stand there at the 3-point line.
Exactly. You can even see Jokić getting mad at him right after the turnover.
owning up like a real man
That was great to see that Joker gives credit To Wemby! 👍 Such a gentleman!
I bet he was kicking himself about that TO..
Wemby and Jokic are the most creative/impactful bigs in the 21st century
Dont talk about Jokic like he is retireing tomorrow. He is just in his prime.
Need my baby jokic to win one more ring before wemby owns the league😭
From a Spurs fan, Jokič is class and MVP (for this year)
kinda sad and cool seeing the maturity in jok. hes not that goofy kid anymore, deep down he is but hes a man man now
Wtf was that last play???? WTF WAS THAT?!
What an inspiration
Last play Porter needed to move either to give a better passing angle or cut behind his defender who was doubling Jokic. Standing still one defender was able to guard 2 Nuggets. Ugh.
At 47 seconds you realize what tactition he truly is.
Straight class from one of the best to ever play. Wemby's time is coming!
Nikola is the best to ever play The GOAT Lets win your next MVP we love you ❤❤❤❤
Nobody in the world can stop Wemba cept JOKER!!!!!!
Joker Wemby and Chet duels are going to be so epic
Respect!
5:20 ohh. he is touched, you can see him getting emotional. the fact that so many fans voted for him, means a lot. I think he actually got the most votes from all NBA players (this round)?
Jokic is once again MVP
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
King Jokic!!🫅🏼
You know what i would like...I would like Jokic spend his summer teaching Victor everything he knows...Gregg please ask him as a fellow Serbian.
This felt like a playoff game
The the commentators that that's asking all the questions to my friend Joker remember he's a dad he has a newborn at home he don't just go home and go to sleep now he go do his work out do his lifting he might be with the baby sometimes come on now y'all consider that when you're asking him these outrageous questions

Damn the 4k camera lol
Jok!!! 💪
Wemby would look Great in a Lakers Uniform 🤔
Did they talk about his own performance ? Jokic MVP
I don't know why he fade on the last shot it was a guaranteed foul. These two will be the next Magic vs Bird.
Joker the best player for years now
Just imagine..if jovic and wemby play in same team, who will be able to stop them? No one can do
What's not to Love about Nikola?
You’ve got the best passing big and nobody is moving just standing around waiting for a pass?
Jokic doesn’t give 2 F’s about the All Star Game lol
title is spelt incorrectly btw
That’s it sign wemby 😂
You can see his eyes are empty, Jokic has to move on if things dont change fast!
lol we can’t understand that ish translation please 😂
Joker vs wemby must see tv ..
Trade Murray for Butler
30 and 4
Puts up another 46 tonite...LOL
Jokic has a better

We need more courts around the world, especially here in America. Good goals. Get out there.
Who the hell is the yahoo who keeps asking everyone about playing the spurs again. It is clear none of them care my man
Gokić
Jokic is always crying that he's fouled. He clears defenders out by elbowing them in the chest and pushing them back with his free hand. Then when the defender gets stiff he makes contact and his legs become jello and he falls down. The referees need to call him, Jokic, for a foul... or just don't call a foul. What a crybaby Jokic is.
Jokic gets no calls and gets frustrated with the refs.He wants respect which he doesn't get.He is no crybaby.
Go watch embiid or shai getting foul calls, jokic averages 5 ft and shai 8ft😂
When is Jokic gonna admit that Murray is an actual problem and the biggest issues in Denver? Murray is overpaid troll nothing more.
He had hops... but that ring is so heavy yo... and when the planets are out of alignment... some guys just can't make 3s...
Wemby goat

You are boring with your ridiculous comments
Wembanyama ...the GOAT even without a Ring
😂😂 slow down Homer!
CHOKE !
This is madness -- for money that gave for Gordon, MPJ and Murray, they could bring Doncic, Shai-Gilgeus Alexander and Irving!!
