@@benfitzpatrick6768 To my understanding the body after a while adapts and starts fabricating more red blood cells to carry more oxygen. Better oxygenation = better endurance. I heard the olympic committee of the USA has the headquarters in denver and their olympists train there before the Olympics competition.
That’s true, I think he just doesn’t like the fame. Like he likes competing, he loves his interactions with teammates, he loves the game, he loves scouting opponents and find their weakness… he just doesn’t like interviews, media day, people recording him while he’s eating with his family, etc
He also doesn't like the grind of the NBA. The 82 game regular season where the stakes aren't super high night to night, the constant late night travel, being away from his family, etc. But he absolutely cares about the game.
Jokic does not waste energy jumping. 280 lbs and runs the floor better than anyone. Watch AD or whoever, they are sucking wind and needing a break from trying to run with Jokic. Most exciting player in the game for people with a brain. I heard some ex-player on TV talking about Jokic is boring because he's not flying thru the air and slamming it home.
There are two things going against Jokic 1. Bias - he doesn't LOOK like a top player. 2. He's from Serbia. He doesn't fit into what our pundits expect and while there are some pundits who sing his praises, the narrative of what we SEE has been set. He doesn't look like Dr J, Magic, or Jordan. So we apply our biases visually. So he'll never get the plaudits he deserves.
@@keir.Defense for "highlight enjoyers" is when a *Player A* blocks a *Player B*. Everything else is no defense. I've heard people calling KD, Lebron, etc "good" defenders just because "Have you seen how he blocked this guy from behind?" And when you watch the game half of the time they are AFK. Jokic isn't the greatest defender by any means. But if you looked at the games and stats you would've understood that he brings positive value to his team on a defensive end too.
How the hell could you be that good and not care about basketball? The people who say that are nitwits. He loves basketball, it's all the stuff around it that he doesn't give a crap about. He is so good it's weird.
Great comments Joakim about Joker. One thing all people miss is that he works out so much in the gym and that there is alot of muscles under that baby fat. He wouldn't be able to bully all this guys with just technique since they all bshing him constantly.
jokic reminds me of prime marc gasol coincidentally the last laker that defended him best too, he can shoot, pass, soft touch around the rim and his defense is so underrated cause he don’t block much but he disrupts a lot of plays and shots!
He makes such an important point about Jokic caring about basketball but not wanting to be famous that is our amerian culture that puts that on him. In america you are supposed to want to be famous just as much as you love basketball, being from another country he probably finds it hard to grasp why americans are so weird, why do they worship people who play basketball. If he didn't care he wouldnt have transformed his body, he plays almost the entire game at altitude.
@@EthanKelly-z7t what's odd there? The guy just stated that Joker is NOT Rocky Mountain monster, he grew up elsewhere. As for meters, you can translate it feet any time you want.

If Jokic didn't play in high altitude Denver his team could be the #1 seed every year because playing in Denver could easily wear itself out in an 82 game season. It sheds new light on how Wemby dominated him in Denver in a must-win game at the end of the season. The Spurs won with three starters out, so their starters were extra fresh to come from way behind to win the game. Two dominating big men with one fresh and the other not.
Agreed. Gets kinda annoying after the third or fourth time. Also, he stutters frequently, which seethes lack of confidence... Still, great interview and content.
JOKIC IS ONE THE GOATS! BEST BY FAR FOR 5 YEARS STRAIGHT! Including that Embiid racist steal of MVP. Yup, Jokic is one of the GOATS for sure, and he is not finished yet. Just enjoy are study Jokic because of the future of BASKETBALL around the world and NBA. Intelligence is the new big thing!
I'm getting a much greater appreciation for this 3 time MVP. Saw 10 minutes of his passing highlights last night. He likely has a better shooting percentage than MJ with more rebounds and more assists. Maybe he has a higher scoring average, too despite all the passes? Since he wears out his defender, that makes him a better fourth quarter defended, too. Is the joke on us? Is the Joker the GOAT? In my opinion great passing is the most lethal part of an offense since no one is faster than the ball. That alone makes the best passer the best scoring threat in the game. It's like having four arms and being two places at once. How can you block a player's shot when he has four arms?
6:53 everyone says the best thing with him is being rough and physical... No wonder why the league is now allowing so many more no calls under the ring
This guy Is the first guy that sounds like he understands he gets joker, I think a lot of these guys are either simply just jealous or don't respect that they can't appreciate that what he he's accomplishing is attendended, they treated Bird like this though, they rewrote history, he didn't get respected until he and magic retired like that that.
Jokic doesn't like all the glam and all the lights that come with being a star, he just wants to play with his friends, he likes sports, he likes basketball, he enjoys playing and competing with his freiends, the Nuggets probably have one of the healthiest groups in all of the NBA when it comes to comradely, i don't see him ever playing for another team, i think he will retire a Nugget and get back with his horses and family full time.
Isn't this question supposed to be asking about what SKILLS are underrated, not where he lives? ALL Denver players get the advantage of altitude yet none of them seem to benefit much from it. This seems like a backhanded compliment meant to not compliment Jokic at all.
I am sorry but defense matters. He didnt deserve so many MVPs nor so much praise. He is also playing in era of virtually no proper big men so he gets very little resistence banging in the post. You put any 80s,90s,2000s center on him and his stats go down across the board, no easy points nor rebounds. He is all time great no doubt but his stats are just overblown due to many flaws of todays game.
How is that a problem that should matter man, we can say same for jordan he was playing in big man era he didnt have any good competition on his position. It dont matter if some1 is that good its not that others are bad he is just that good
@josipmarasovic2436 There were plenty of great and decent SGs in Jordan's era. And he played defense at highest level.I am talking proper centers that every team used to have not to mention power forwards. I am not talking elite ones like Hakeem, Kareem or Shaq, I am talking freaking Luc Longley. Every team had to have a big center. That was proper basketball, none of this small ball nonsense. Just the other day I watched Kat roughing Jokic up and pushing him back succesfully. Just thing what would centers of old do.
Brother, look at his defensive stats, he is top 5 in the league in deflections and his team is much better on D when he plays. He doesn't go for a lot of blocks at the rim because he is too important on offense to get in foul trouble. And if you put a 90's center on him, Jokic would take him out to the 3 point line and feed his teammates for easy baskets at the rim all day. You think you're the first person to have this idea? "Lmao just put a real center on him". Jokic has a skillset that 90s centers have never seen. He's dropping a 30 point triple double every time, just like he does against every single defense that's ever been thrown at him.
@@zachclarke61 i understand what u mean but he is not just a pushover all time he is a big human and he would get his points no matter what since he is so skilled in fundamental basketball and this is coming from person who favourite baskeball player all time is hakkeem. He is only from that era that is better them jokic since hakeem has same offensive skill as jokic but he has defense too, rest of guys are not better because with offense and shooting scooring passing i more valuble then what others offer. But i dont mean to argue i like talking baskeball have a nice day

Noah should have a show, i’d love his commentary on games
I was hoping he'd say his defense. people don't realize he's just as smart on the defensive end as the offensive end.
he did mention it though, @6:11
That Joker jumps less is a physical advantage. This helps him have a higher shooting percentage
I always though his motor was very underrated, his availability too and that he's deceivingly fast especially how he gets up and down the floor.
NonD Joker is sixth in the NBA in deflections
He's super underrated defensively. The advanced stats and box+- on defense are pretty much consistently top 10.

Joker makes it look effortless. Doesnt mean he’s not trying, just that he’s so smart and efficient and sneakily in shape that it might seem that way.
Jokic cares. Just cares more about his family has it should be.
Altitude! Great point.
I say the next: in a sports of ferraris, porches and lambos Jokic is a Ford f-150 and he is winning the race.
Speaking of altitude, he grew up in a city 89 meters above sea level.
