Mike Breen's commentary elevates legendary moments. He just adds something special to these games man. GOAT commentator in my humble opinion.
Even Mike Breen will not be able to elevate playoff games of the Suns.. vs Nuggets last time and vs Mavs last year..
We all know Jokic is the true MVP of this year.
It was totally well deserved 3 peak MVP for him.
MBP: MOST BORING PLAYER

That Jokic steal at the end is the definition of clutch
You can't keep depending on Jokic being clutch after choking a huge lead. He needs to learn how to maintain leads.
Murray hit the ball off lebron hand.
And Lebron giving up on the play is the definition of why he'll never be Jordan.
@@x-man9473it’s not his fault💀 he went to sit down and then lakers went on a 9-0 run and gained momentum
We see what you did there. Clutch, not Klutch 👈🏽👊🏽🤷🏽♂️
Jokic the REAL MVP he doesn’t shy away on that big stage
Jokic was amazing, it was a joy to watch his domination
jokic is on another level rn , unstoppable, deserves a ring already
We will have Game steal from Nuggets. Lakers got the pulse now. Lakers not afraid at all.
34 --21-- 14 Djoker was robbed of this year's MVP.
Lol, overrated BBW
@@Dddherdjo obviously u didn't watch this game
@@Dddherdjo obviously u are mad one, Joker real MVP
Rooting for Denver. Jokic and Gordon deserves a ring
Rings are earned.
And don’t forget Murrey
Man, Jokic is fun to watch. He knows where to pass the ball, before he gets it.
3:54 In a league with a rich history of successful comebacks even with seconds remaining and even down two possessions, I’m amazed how Bron would just give up like that
18 seconds man 5 points the nuggets is not a shit team
It's not the first time he's given up on a game. He's a great athlete, but he gets deflated when things don't go his way. Still one of the best to ever do it, though.
Bruh the game was over
@@cadethecruel3484 then you need to watch more to know that so many crazier comebacks have happened
@@KWW9999Jokic ended up missing 1. Who’s to say he may have even missed both. But they wasted 8 seconds on the clock. With down 6 with 15-17 seconds left they could still shoot a three. Then go for a steal or another foul. Seriously so many crazier comebacks have happened. Down 5 points with 18 seconds in a playoff game and you just give up???
Jokic is amazing...
not even a fan of either team, but that... was.. intense.
Nah ur LeBron fan boy lol
@@mcx24 nah. I’m a Warriors fan
I can watch that alley-oop by Gordon over and over
I swear to god i was thinking on lebron blocking it but Gordon say Hell nooo
Commissioner Gordon up up and away
@@pablo3318 lbj choked again miss game tying and miss back to back threes under 40 seconds left haha
@@gabmartin-on4jx Nothing new, LeFraud is well known for choking and flopping.💯💯
Dear Embiid, we know you are watching, you still have time to give back the season mvp trophy to the one who really deserves it, and that is Nikola Jokic
Thank you and Goodbye
if that counts, last year Joel deserved to win but robbed...
That alley oop was crazy, didn’t think Murray would actually go for it given it’s a relatively high risk play and the score was close. But he delivered a great pass and Gordon finished it well.
I love everyone hating on the Nuggets, going to make it even sweeter when they reach the finals!!!
Jokic is the mvp. the nuggets time is now and they are the team to beat even though this squad hasnt been to the finals. They are the best team in the league right now and if this core stays healthy and together, they will be the new dynasty. as a lakers fan, its the nuggets' time although LA can still beat them this series. Im scared for the league for whoever denver signs this offseason. realistically i can see them bringing jerami grant back, if they do they will be unbeatable
Jokic has nerves of steel
This is exactly why he will always be number 3 prime example you can see he is terrified he doesn’t have the mentality of a champion.
Nuggets really counting on James on that last 3 pointer to tie the game 😂
🤦🏻♂️
I'm impressed Jamal Murray played he too nice game. Playing under the weather because fans,players ,coaches always mentioned come playoffs gotta play well credit him he did.
labron travels so much they just let him get away with it over and over and over and over
Lebron jacking up that 3 pointer cost them the game. 5 fouls on murray, just drive the damn ball!!!
God bless always Denver
The "GOAT" just standing there (frozen) during loose ball for 8secs.Amazing!!!
Pls shut up
He's saving his energy for game 2 and mostly next year. He trying to play with his son one day you know. If people can't tell by now.
LeBron
Stats
Flopping
These are the top three and only priorities in his man's head.
@@vivienneduong6541 Ridiculous , He’s NOT The Goat That’s JORDAN ! 💯
@@melvondrewhite2674lmao MJ was literally missing the playoffs and a straight bum in his Wizards years. Way less mileage on his body than LeBron too, MJ was just soft and needed Pippen
@@1999ToyotaSupra All Bullshit , 😂YOU JUST MAD CAUSE Lebron COULD NEVER BE Better Than Him .. His Wizards Years Mean Nothing He Was Already 6-0 With 6 MVPs That’s A Feat That’s Already HIGHER Than Bron’s ! Hold The L Sir . ✌🏽🤣
Joker got the military cut and went crazy😂
3:55 - 3:59...and that right there is why I'll probably always rank Jordan over Lebron.
That's why I will always as well. It's pretty unfair for LeBron tho that his competition is Jordan, you literally have to be perfect to match that guy, and LeBron isn't. Probably the only sport where you have to literally be perfect to usurp someone as the GOAT
jordan at 38 didn't make the playoffs and was not selected even in the 3rd all nba team. jordan was just doing a farewell tour, while lebron still able to compete at high level hahahah! Ponder on that! hahaha

Lakers will win this series 4-1 they have sized the Nuggets up. Save my words.
Jamal Murray is an amazing player 👏👏Congratulations Denver
Epic freethrow misses by lebron along with that terribad hero ball 3. Good stuff by the self proclaimed goat. 20 years in the league and is still scared to post.
3:21
"they're not getting quality shots"
KCP LITERALLY MISSED A WIDE OPEN THREE 15 SECONDS BEFORE THAT
Congrats REAL MVP 🃏🃏🃏🇺🇸 Let’s go Joker
Lakers 2023 world champs. sweeping the heat in 4 straight, and greatest NBA franchise ever with the most titles
how do the lakers lose when James is allowed to travel every time he touches the ball? LOL
0:18 - 0:26 Look at James..... At least 5 seconds wasted.
Lebron for Shanghai Sharks
MVP JOKIC NOT EMBIID
TRUE
Wow, 2 clutch 3 ppints by Leflop. What a way to win Lebron
The announcer was right. The only wau to counter the Hachimura Defense on Jokic is to run a pick n roll on Gordon so that AD will go outside the paint area. Excited on game 2 though. 🔥
I know that jokic doesn't care about regular season mvp, but 3back to back mvp and 1championship(if it happens) would have been a huge advantage of resume for all time greatest. Since players' greatness is all about the stats and record 1~2 decade later
Embiid cried his way to getting the MVP and now sitting at home watching the true MVP go to work.
The true definition of MVP, regular and post season wont disappear.
3:54 starting sequence of Bron pushing off, Bron with a turnover, and Bron inexplicably giving up on the game with still time remaining
Not a Bron turnover he never had control
Nah Bron already lost the game when he missed the layup at the start of the video and much more when he didn't fix that but shot a 3 out of nowhere with the paint wide open
Yeah bro wtff, Reaves was kinda open outside tho 😭😭
@@ayden947 CLEARLY a Bron turnover! Jokic even had a STEAL. Don’t be special Ed your WHOLE life, special Ayden. Bron had a blatant push off PLUS blatant turnover while poorly dribbling… THEN HE QUIT.
Lebrons attitude was trash. Missed the memo on how to be defensive at all. Not impressed with his game tonight but goddamn jokic is a powerhouse, wanna see denver take it all the way through this series
gotta admire KPJ with the hustle play @ 0:22.. I think he injured his elbow diving for that looseball.. he was feeling it after Aaron Gordon's dunk..
Super love Denver Jovic 15
damn Denver is gonna win the finals
Crazy how most people thought Lakers could win game 1 😂😂😂 nuggets at home are too good and needed to be cause Lakers played well
Yeah and even with them being “too good at home” they won by 6…..
They closed a huge 20 point gap. Lakers game 5
Yeah crazy it's not like we are commenting on a video witnessing LeBron James with ball in hand paint wide open and down only 3 points with seconds too
Denver was so in control of game 1
Why would anyone think that the Lakers with 100% winning on game in the playoffs this year would win here
Well I guess it's not 100% winning in game 1 anymore now it's
75% yes I count the play in as a game 1 in the playoffs
@@parkershelp6428 if you watched basketball before you know 1 game does not define a whole series like joker said a win is a win
Man that Jokic guy is strong.
Go Lakers!
Go Denver.Congrat.🕵️👌👍💪💪💪💪💪
Lakers will forever regret that possession down 129-126 in the final minute - they had all the momentum at that point and the Nuggets were choking down the stretch, blowing a 14-point lead.
Jokic ate entire Lakers alive.... no answer for Jokic. Denver in 5. Good run Los Angeles but like Golden State, we're not championship organization. WCF runner up sounds right 👍🏾
Lets see in game 2🎉🎉🎉🎉
NJ 's a great player
Go Spurs Go!!! Great win Nuggets!!! Go win it all!!!
?
What a pass 😮😮😮
Jokic still has a chance for the MVP he cares about.....Finals MVP!
Jokic is the MVP.
so close for Lakers, but, ohh, Nuggets... Everyone from this team doing everything for championship!!!
That transition lob from Jamal to Gordon never gets old
Lebum missed alot of buckets!
No he didn't. He shot 56 percent.
@@arizjones no need to bother he's blind
@@thuglifeganyu7543 but he miss a game tying three that's the most important part of the game miss back to back threes under 40 seconds left hmmm...lbj choked as always that's why he is not better than Kobe and Jordan hahahahahaha
Lebron with the choke. Classic Lebron.
Dont let this fool you, lakers win series
3:56 Lebron gave up on that play after he turned it over. This type of character is why he ain't GOAT over Jordan.
The truly goat is Jordan and Kobe not lbj a choker as always hhhahahhaa
Anyone else notice LBJ gave up with 17 sec left in the game?
Honestly Bron kinda fell asleep the last few minutes. He shot a Steph type 3 without squaring up. He got the ball stolen, then missed again. Just a bad last few trips down for Lakers
LeSold James
258 pts combined wow.
No killer instinct for Leflop! 😂😂
Outstanding Teams!!
AD kept the Lakers and Huchimura stepped up. Jokic did the silent work while Murray and Brown played with force. Reaves also kept the game up. Will be an interesting series indeed.
What a game 🏀
REBOUNDS. Nuggets just beat them on the glass.
Mvp Dr Mr Jokic! 🎉
there was NO FOUL on that Jokic Layup C'MON
ad got him in the left arm
Best player in the NBA hands down
Do you need to show the score at the thumbnail!?!?
Surprised that they even made a comeback the lakers will overcome, i turned-off the tv when it was 99-81 the nuggets leading.this series will be fun.proud old laker here.
Im a warriors avid fan..but im rooting for jokic, murray and the nuggets for the championship..
Great game!!
Lakers are the best road game 1 team so Denver did really good to stop them
Jokic - mvp
People say Bron choked(it’s true sadly…) but can’t blame him because he was the guy that kept us alive most of the time. We had a furious comeback but the terrible 1st half killed us. And Dlo should play Jordan Poole minutes…
1:35 - AD and Bron make ZERO effort to rebound AR’s 3!
3:54 - Bron had a blatant push off PLUS blatant turnover while poorly dribbling… THEN HE QUIT.
League got it wrong! Jokic is MVP!
You talking about the guy that plays lazy roam defense and wasnt even the leading scorer tonight.. You sure you watching the games? 😂😂
The guy that kept us alive???Haha do you watch the game its Anthony Davis who kept Lakers alive not lbj..he miss the opportunity to tied the game and miss back to back threes in a crunch time..his clutch right hahaha
He was not a leading scorer but made good assists and maintained high efficiency whole game.
He's the guy that keep them alive and the guy that keep them dead missing 3pts and no defense in last 60 sec not good
love how Jokic stole the ball and then lebron just stood there and walked back
They didn't get the W but something significant happened here. The Lakers dismantled a 20 point deficit. They know what to do from here on out.
303 Denver we in here we in the building lets get it Denver all day we representin
i have a feeling LBJ gonna blow up in game 2. That missed layup when down 4, and then jokic with the steal on him at the end- the king aint gonna give up his crown that easy.
So far so good, good as game..the Lakers almost stole the show, but the nuggets were still in the game.
Браво Јокарооо
Bruce Brown should’ve dunked that at the end. Never liked that sportsmanship rule of not trying to score if you’re leading. It’s the playoffs… show NO MERCY!
Jokic master
LEBRON DESTROY THE GAME.
0:25 If Bron rejected this, would have been the 2nd greatest block of all time. Lmfao
GG!
Anyway, NBA should stop spoiling the final score in the thumbnail. I understand them doing that during regular season games but c'mon this is playoffs now we don't need that spoilers.
I am excited how Lakers going to continue playing like this in the 2nd half for game 2.
it's not going to work - Denver is going to make adjustments too.
@@kennellfrederick4367 Just letting you know, lakers is 6-0 at home, Denver is 1-3 on the road. We could possibly see the series go 7 games.
@Kay A yeah yeah
Mike Breen, I don’t think anyone can wait for game 2
0:35 Oh hey it’s Broncos Country Let’s Ride
Lebron is still a beast. He's one of the hardest workers in any professional sport. If you want to beat his team you will have to outwork Lebron and outfox him 'cause he has so much savvy and knowledge.
THE REAL MVP
The goat walked after he commit the foul
what a intense game
go Lakers...
Lakers have a chance to bounce back 😊
intense very nice game
