He’s gotta be doing it on purpose at this point… Joker at 3 and no Luka? 😂 Dudes just racist he’s already shown that. It must emotionally hurt him to watch Joker dominate.
The thing I don’t understand is that to Perkins scoring = best offence. Even though I don’t agree with that, the thing that truly baffles me is LUKA NOT BEING ON THIS LIST. he’s literally leading the nba in scoring and he’s like number 3 in assists, by perks own logic he should be on this list
Imho, Embid has to be on there, too. He’s gone to a new level this season. It’s ironic, there’s a good chance that he could end up deserving to win the MVP this season-but he probably won’t; Because he won it last year-when he probably shouldn’t have.
Kendrick thinks scoring = offense. Offense consists of so much more. Jokic is the most efficient, the best rebounder and the best passer on this list. Jokic doesn't lead the league in scoring because he doesn't want to. Its really that simple. Embiid currently is leading the association in scoring. He averages 4 more poins on 3 more shots per game. Nobody with in IQ more than 1 wouldn't see that if Jokic pumped up 3 more shots a game his name would be at the top of that list. The dude is an offensive savant and all things considered the best offensive player ever.
@Oba7 Jokic is better offensively then everyone you named. That isnt debatable and an absolute objective truth. He is better statistically, better skilled, better dribbler, better shooter from every spot on the court (all 3 levels) a better passer, a better playmaker...... what sport ha e you been watching? You name perhaps 2 of the greatest defensive centers ever when trying to counter my offensive argument?
@@Oba7 He already broken several playoff records including triple doubles en route to winning a Chip and finals MVP. If you can't quantify your opinion then sit down.
More often than not on the nights where Jokic is the top scorer for the Nuggets they lose. Jokic has the ability to just take every shot but that isn’t his game. Perk doesn’t understand that. Jokic has that basketball IQ that just isn’t matched in any other player on the court today. Nuggets are the most dominant team in the league right now because it isn’t uncommon for every other starter besides Jokic to end up in double digit scoring due to his vision and passing ability. You can’t stop him because to do that you would have to shut down every other Nuggets player on the floor with him and that just isn’t possible.
Eh, tbh I can see someone not putting Luka on this list. He’s a great solo offensive engine, but we see that other star level talent has a hard time flourishing with him. Great offense has to do with how well u can raise a teams ceiling to win a chip. If other high level guys have a hard time playing with u, that offensive cieling is a bit lower
@@madisonbordenave4869 this is a lie. Only guy that had a problem was porzingus and he was always injured. Everyone else got paid because of Luka from Brunson to dfs.
@@MavDon-qc9tc Nah dude, if anything you bringing up jaelyn Brunson is proving my point. He wasn’t paid on the maps cause people saw him as a high level starter/ role player. He leaves luka and becomes an all star level player. Looking at porzingus, he played worse with luka and is flourishing on other teams albeit, injuries played a role. Looking at Kylie, Kylie has not played as well/ hasn’t had the same level impact since being on the mavs. I think u could easily make an argument for luka being a top 5 offensive player especially off his play this season, but I can see him also not being top 5
Jokic is a beast...but I love how he finally gets past the 2nd round of the playoffs and people start throwing around GOAT. If he ends his career with just that 1 ring, will u consider him the GOAT?? LOL. Then why are you anointing him already? Makes no sense. Im not even hating. Just saying give him time. If he gets to Finals few more times, then start throwin around the GOAT talk. Only fair.
@boatsanhs9709 ...Again, let him get to Finals a few times before you start throwing around GOAT. I don't think I'm being unreasonable or even critical of Joker. But Nuggets fans are so hype right now, as they should be. Denver has a squad. But just take a deep breath everyone and pump the brakes a little on the GOAT talk. He is not Top 5 yet in any stat category. The body of work is not there, yet. YET, is all Im saying.
Lets be real, Jokic is ONLY the list because he made Perk look like the biggest idiot in the world last year and Perk has to eat shit whether he likes it or not. The fact Perk went off on Jokic before he was gonna win his 3rd straight MVP, the fact Luka isn't even ON this list despite him being an absolute offensive machine tells you all you need to know about Perk. Not only is he incredibly biased, but he will never admit that 3 Europeans (Luka, Giannis, Jokic) are taking over the league. I don't know if its race or an American thing but the dude is blind.
Offensively, I disagree with Perkins. 1. Jokic 2. Steph 3. Luka 4. Joel 5. Any other scorer - KD/Booker/Tatum etc. The top 3 are basically there team’s offense
When this man said that Nikola Jokic only one multiple MVP’s because he was white should have disqualified him from any further basketball discussions…..
Whoever says jokic is better than curry seriously needs to be banned and deleted from talking and being a fan of basketball forever. Lol one thing curry got that no one else got is the fact that he doesn’t even need to be scoring the fact that his presence alone on the court is so dominating that he can just stay at half court and be doubled. Just a different monster
6:52 & do Yk jokic is shooting 87% on floater’s & hooks? 87%. Do yk tht jokic made history by being the most efficient 24 ppg scorer ever last yr ? This nigga perk jus be CHATTIN😂
my gosh Perk I'm really not sure where you get your insight for picks dude. you're in your feelings bro lol. how can Nikola be 3rd. he's more consistent than all of them especially KD at #1 so sorry but nah not yet? no disrespect Perk but you cannot put anyone above Nikola at this time. KD is definitely not a triple double player . anyway. forget homage but dang!
It's an absolute travesty that luka isn't even on this list. Luka honestly is a better offensive player than Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and Jayson Tatum
Perk is the fvcking reason why the Joker didnt win his 3rd straight mvp. He played the race card and used giant sports broadcast ESPN to spew his hate against the Joker.
I like steph butt Jokic is way on another level then any nba player in terms of offense...he is the only player that makes all people around him better
Ummmm no. You can argue Joker is the best player, sure. But to say he is THE ONLY player who makes his teammates better is just... (sigh). Steph, LBJ... there are others who make their team better. Are u even serious??
@@ufcislife1 stop it fan boy..just stop it. You sound like a casual fan that doesnt watch all games and i will explain you way. Jokic is the only one where every teamate that played with him was better with him then later in his carrear..he never played with an all star nor with an all nba player. Because of him a lot of people made money that they dont desrve. Lbj was like that when young butt for last 5years he changes his temates every trade deadline...you cant be serious..and Steph others make him better..who did he made better he played with all stars and all nba players..played with best scorer ever. You putt Jokic in any nba team and thats a deep playoff team..you putt lbj and steph they are not even a playoof teams 100%. There are no other player that does that Jokic is the only one.And there is nothing to argue he is the best player in the ligue right now.
@otacmakarije352 LMAO..U callin me fanboy?? You're the one all on Joker's jock. All I am saying (and anyone with reasonable intellent) is that Steph, Jokic, Embiid, etc... There definitely IS a top tier in the NBA. But for someone to think anyone, Jokic or anyone else, is LEVELS above or is on "another level" is just silly. To guys 40+ like myself you show your immaturity. Someone doesn't even insult your fav player, merely concedes that someone else is on their level, and u have a meltdown. Stef fanboy??, not at all. Im a Mavs fan. I think Jokic is amazing. I'm just a grown-up about it.
..and u really should have stopped BEFORE you said Curry and LBJ wouldn't be a playoff team. You really lost all credibility once you said that nonsense. It's clear to all who read these comments who the newbie, or "casual" as you kids say, is here.
Having Steph Curry up there because he's a couple points higher than Luka (in 8 games this season) when Doncic is higher in every other category is ridiculous.
Watch some basketball dummy, Steph is a 2x scoring champ who can dominate with the ball with his dribbling and handling and off the ball with his conditioning and iq. What other player can be effective without the ball and isn’t a statue without it?
@@bx100391😂😂😂Luka's career AVERAGE is better than Curry's best year. Curry......24.5ppg @47%, 6.5 assists, 5 reb, 11 triple doubles. Luka.........28ppg @ 48%, 8 assists, 8 reb, 56 triple doubles. Stop watching Sports Center highlights and actually learn about the game.
@@KingSally92 Steph is a 24.5 ppg player (6.5 assists, 5 reb). Luka is a 28ppg player with a better FG%, 8 reb, and 8 assists. He's literally better than Curry at EVERY aspect of the game except 3pt %. As a PG, Curry has 11 triple doubles. Luka has 56 (in 5 seasons). If you think Curry is better, you need to lay off the crack pipe. Luka's CAREER AVERAGES are better than Curry's best year. Luka is even playing better defense this season (although they both suck).
@@SDesWritercurry is way more efficient goofy I find it funny how you didn’t mention true shooting percentage , 3 point percentage , or free throw percentage all areas where curry crushes doncic.
Kendrick averaged 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 points in 782 games. And with that " amazing " stats, obviously, it's possible to become analyst, and to criticize NBA superstars. I, for example, have a similar career as a chef. I know how to boil an egg and to make mashed potatoes, and that's it. So, I have the competence to become a cooking analyst on TV and, I don't know, to talk about Gordon Ramsay's flaws.
Idc bout the lists Jokic is getting his attention finally my opinion the best center all time he can do what all last centers could do except he’s a better passer and shooter defense is regular but he does everything else
Jokic doesnt just shoot, the man rebounds and runs the point. He has the size ans is underrated defense. Not the best, but definitely not a liability like steph. I mean even bench players get more than their PPG when Steph guards them.
Perkins is a cartoon. Just a silly exaggeration of a real thing. How to put Jokic into proper perspective: Two days ago Jokic became the NBA’s all-time number four in career Triple Doubles, surpassing LeBron and Jason Kidd. Think about that. Jason Kidd, 19 seasons as a Hall of Famer. LeBron is in his 21st season of leading a team in stats. In other words, it takes approximately 20 years of playing at Hall-of-Fame level to reach top Top Five all-time status. Meanwhile, Jokic has played 8 seasons.
@@ufcislife1 yeah thanks to KD in 17 and 18 Injuries to love and Kyrie in 15 He should be 1 and 6 Most overrated player in the history of basketball Stay delusional
@@personalwilliamsaccount .. Keep telling yourself that. And when the Warriors keep knocking your team out of the playoffs, keep on giving credit to someone other than Steph, if that makes you feel better.
@@personalwilliamsaccount..Go back and watch the Finals with Steph and KD. Steph was getting doubled twice as much as KD. It was pick your poison, and teams were choosing to double Curry. Again... 6 Finals and 4 Rings. Not saying he's the GOAT or anything, but not giving him credit is just foolish. But keep living in denial if that helps you sleep at night.
Damn, its not positionless basketball. Its learning the basics of basketball, when you are a kid you learn specifics of all positions since no one knows what will you play when you grow up. In the states players get SPECIALIZED to early.
There are barely any of our people in the US. Slovenians or Serbs. (Luka is half Slovenian and half Serbian). So what do you expect? Who is gonna vouch for 'em? The way things work here in Merica, your own people are gonna vouch for you. English, Irish, French, Scottish, Swiss, and Germans all of em are different cultures, have different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages they have nothing in common with Slavic, languages or cultures. There has always been a rift between us. When people think of Slavs they think of Russians they have a negative image. Hence why American media is gonna favor their own. You'll never see American media criticize someone who is Swiss, German, English, Irish, Scottish, Spanish, or French there are tons of their people in the US or the Western world. They have a positive outlook/view. As for Perkins he's simply abiding by the Anglo-Saxon culture he dont know better. Not like he's abiding by some African culture lets say Coptic, or Ethiopian, Eritrean ect. Plus on top of that if you are an immigrant you are not gonna be viewed favorably. America is gonna push its own first and foremost.
Sure but at the same time, make Steph taller and he won’t be able to be as effective. Being tall while being an advantage as a center (even necessary) makes a player less likely to exceed in passing, scoring from 3, etc. Which is what Jokic is doing for example
How come the best scorer in the league(32.9ppg on 65.5% TS), best rebounding guard and top 5 assist(8.4apg) guy is not even in top 5 OFFENSICE PLAYER?? What Perkins smoking?
2023 Jokic is better offensively than 2022 Steph, 2021 Giannis, 2020 Lebron, and 2019 Kawhi. Only players who were comparable were 2017 Durant and 2016 Lebron, but 2017 Durant played with 3 other future hall of famers and 2016 Lebron had Kyrie playing at an extremely high level.
Giannis is the only player in NBA history that gets you 30ppg at 60% FG percentage. I wonder how much offense attention the wall gives a team. Also, Malcolm Borderick was 50 40 90 with Giannis. Never again with anyone else.
Why this comment section so bothered by "perk's opinion." Make yall own list & stop being emotional because someone doesn't support "your opinion" GROW UP youtube trolls
As of RN I’m Putting luka on that List! There is Nobody more Scary to Guard in the League RN when he gets rolling and Game Winners! Maybe Steph?! Now I think I might take out KD or Embid! IDK why it Seems As though Some Black Ex Players don’t want to give Luka His Credit! Bro is A Beast
Where was these comments last year Perk , your flat out racist remarks about Jokic , Nash and Dirk ,,,to little to late, ESPN fake commentators , NBA players current and ex, just cant handle that 2 WHITE guys Jokic and Luka are better than 99 % of the players in the league , White men dont need to jump ( right Spike ) to be hoopers...
I wonder how how many white people watch basketball? You just don’t see this kind of thing in football. In football a good player is a good player regardless of race. It’s really weird that this is still a thing. The really crazy thing is is that it’s a good thing we see more European people and people from other nations doing well in basketball. It means basketball is becoming a much more global sport. If you look at soccer you can see 3 fantastic players from different countries that compete for the title of best of all time. You might consider Pele black, Ronaldo as Latin, and Messi as Latin or even white but that doesn’t matter because it’s a global game and you get superstars from all over the world.
Could anyone imagine a white guy bringing up a black player MVP caliber type …. in the same way perk brought up Jokic last year… ? they would be outta a job before you could say BAAAM…. I’m all for Jokic for MVP for simply being robbed last year thanks to that joke of an “analyst”…..
Everyone has the right to express his opinion, but it should be taken into account that his wrong opinion affects others, and it is not nice to talk about it on television, and I really don't understand who gives him media freedom
The fact perk has a job still makes me believe anything is possible

Jokic is number one. Perkins is a hater. And the fact that Luka isn’t on that list is a travesty. And I’m brown 😅
It’s clearly rn Jokic, Curry, Luka, and then the rest of the field.
Imho, Embid has to be on there, too.
He’s gone to a new level this season.
It’s ironic, there’s a good chance that he could end up deserving to win the MVP this season-but he probably won’t; Because he won it last year-when he probably shouldn’t have.
Kendrick thinks scoring = offense. Offense consists of so much more. Jokic is the most efficient, the best rebounder and the best passer on this list. Jokic doesn't lead the league in scoring because he doesn't want to. Its really that simple. Embiid currently is leading the association in scoring. He averages 4 more poins on 3 more shots per game. Nobody with in IQ more than 1 wouldn't see that if Jokic pumped up 3 more shots a game his name would be at the top of that list. The dude is an offensive savant and all things considered the best offensive player ever.
gtfoh, jokic is not better than olajuwon, wilt, kareem, or bill russel in any way and he never will.
@Oba7 Jokic is better offensively then everyone you named. That isnt debatable and an absolute objective truth. He is better statistically, better skilled, better dribbler, better shooter from every spot on the court (all 3 levels) a better passer, a better playmaker...... what sport ha e you been watching? You name perhaps 2 of the greatest defensive centers ever when trying to counter my offensive argument?
Rebounds = possessions = scoring. Assists = Scoring. It's not just about shooting.
@@Oba7 He already broken several playoff records including triple doubles en route to winning a Chip and finals MVP. If you can't quantify your opinion then sit down.
More often than not on the nights where Jokic is the top scorer for the Nuggets they lose. Jokic has the ability to just take every shot but that isn’t his game. Perk doesn’t understand that. Jokic has that basketball IQ that just isn’t matched in any other player on the court today. Nuggets are the most dominant team in the league right now because it isn’t uncommon for every other starter besides Jokic to end up in double digit scoring due to his vision and passing ability. You can’t stop him because to do that you would have to shut down every other Nuggets player on the floor with him and that just isn’t possible.
Imagine Steph and Joker on the same team… their games would compliment each other perfectly!
Who is PERK??? Who is he???? WHAT HAS HE DONE?????????
No Luka on this is absolutely insane
Eh, tbh I can see someone not putting Luka on this list. He’s a great solo offensive engine, but we see that other star level talent has a hard time flourishing with him. Great offense has to do with how well u can raise a teams ceiling to win a chip. If other high level guys have a hard time playing with u, that offensive cieling is a bit lower
@@madisonbordenave4869 this is a lie. Only guy that had a problem was porzingus and he was always injured. Everyone else got paid because of Luka from Brunson to dfs.
Perk is a known racist he hates white players a known fact
@@MavDon-qc9tc Nah dude, if anything you bringing up jaelyn Brunson is proving my point. He wasn’t paid on the maps cause people saw him as a high level starter/ role player. He leaves luka and becomes an all star level player. Looking at porzingus, he played worse with luka and is flourishing on other teams albeit, injuries played a role. Looking at Kylie, Kylie has not played as well/ hasn’t had the same level impact since being on the mavs. I think u could easily make an argument for luka being a top 5 offensive player especially off his play this season, but I can see him also not being top 5
He's racist so
Jokic is possibly the best offensive player all time.
Jokic is a beast...but I love how he finally gets past the 2nd round of the playoffs and people start throwing around GOAT. If he ends his career with just that 1 ring, will u consider him the GOAT?? LOL. Then why are you anointing him already? Makes no sense. Im not even hating. Just saying give him time. If he gets to Finals few more times, then start throwin around the GOAT talk. Only fair.
@@ufcislife1 lmao he went to the wcf 4 years ago. And he’s doing all this with less help than anybody since dirk. Never had a superstar teammate.
@@ufcislife1 don’t act like he didn’t just have one of if not the most impressive statistical playoff run of all time.
@boatsanhs9709 ...Again, let him get to Finals a few times before you start throwing around GOAT. I don't think I'm being unreasonable or even critical of Joker. But Nuggets fans are so hype right now, as they should be. Denver has a squad. But just take a deep breath everyone and pump the brakes a little on the GOAT talk. He is not Top 5 yet in any stat category. The body of work is not there, yet. YET, is all Im saying.
@@ufcislife1 I never said he was the goat. I said he’s the best offensive player ever.
Lets be real, Jokic is ONLY the list because he made Perk look like the biggest idiot in the world last year and Perk has to eat shit whether he likes it or not. The fact Perk went off on Jokic before he was gonna win his 3rd straight MVP, the fact Luka isn't even ON this list despite him being an absolute offensive machine tells you all you need to know about Perk.
Not only is he incredibly biased, but he will never admit that 3 Europeans (Luka, Giannis, Jokic) are taking over the league. I don't know if its race or an American thing but the dude is blind.
Both.
Now I know why they have perk's on the show, espn don't want to be serious all the time and that's why they put in some comedy time 😅
I love my nuggets and joker but not to even have luka on that list is absolutely asinine. I truly believe big perk just watches his favorites.
Perkins is a racist, very clearly.
Offensively, I disagree with Perkins. 1. Jokic 2. Steph 3. Luka 4. Joel 5. Any other scorer - KD/Booker/Tatum etc.
The top 3 are basically there team’s offense
Kevin Durant? 😂😂😂😂 perk don’t watch enough basketball.
When this man said that Nikola Jokic only one multiple MVP’s because he was white should have disqualified him from any further basketball discussions…..
Luka over JT offense wise any day
Whoever says jokic is better than curry seriously needs to be banned and deleted from talking and being a fan of basketball forever. Lol one thing curry got that no one else got is the fact that he doesn’t even need to be scoring the fact that his presence alone on the court is so dominating that he can just stay at half court and be doubled. Just a different monster
Curry said you can get off your knees now.
He doesn't give up. This will only motivate another ring and MVP (finals) title.
6:52 & do Yk jokic is shooting 87% on floater’s & hooks? 87%. Do yk tht jokic made history by being the most efficient 24 ppg scorer ever last yr ? This nigga perk jus be CHATTIN😂
Malika Sombor Shuffle is the only unstoppable move in NBA
She just fronts the show. She knows very little about the game.
my gosh Perk I'm really not sure where you get your insight for picks dude. you're in your feelings bro lol. how can Nikola be 3rd. he's more consistent than all of them especially KD at #1 so sorry but nah not yet? no disrespect Perk but you cannot put anyone above Nikola at this time. KD is definitely not a triple double player . anyway. forget homage but dang!
It's might be the worst list I've ever seen, the Jokic and Nuggets disrespect on ESPN is truly disgusting
Hes not more consistent than steph
@@TaiLePhan he is!!
@@iaskquestionsno where close that he is
It's an absolute travesty that luka isn't even on this list. Luka honestly is a better offensive player than Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and Jayson Tatum
Perk is the fvcking reason why the Joker didnt win his 3rd straight mvp. He played the race card and used giant sports broadcast ESPN to spew his hate against the Joker.
I like steph butt Jokic is way on another level then any nba player in terms of offense...he is the only player that makes all people around him better
Ummmm no. You can argue Joker is the best player, sure. But to say he is THE ONLY player who makes his teammates better is just... (sigh). Steph, LBJ... there are others who make their team better. Are u even serious??
@@ufcislife1 stop it fan boy..just stop it. You sound like a casual fan that doesnt watch all games and i will explain you way. Jokic is the only one where every teamate that played with him was better with him then later in his carrear..he never played with an all star nor with an all nba player. Because of him a lot of people made money that they dont desrve. Lbj was like that when young butt for last 5years he changes his temates every trade deadline...you cant be serious..and Steph others make him better..who did he made better he played with all stars and all nba players..played with best scorer ever. You putt Jokic in any nba team and thats a deep playoff team..you putt lbj and steph they are not even a playoof teams 100%. There are no other player that does that Jokic is the only one.And there is nothing to argue he is the best player in the ligue right now.
@otacmakarije352 LMAO..U callin me fanboy?? You're the one all on Joker's jock. All I am saying (and anyone with reasonable intellent) is that Steph, Jokic, Embiid, etc... There definitely IS a top tier in the NBA. But for someone to think anyone, Jokic or anyone else, is LEVELS above or is on "another level" is just silly. To guys 40+ like myself you show your immaturity. Someone doesn't even insult your fav player, merely concedes that someone else is on their level, and u have a meltdown. Stef fanboy??, not at all. Im a Mavs fan. I think Jokic is amazing. I'm just a grown-up about it.
..and u really should have stopped BEFORE you said Curry and LBJ wouldn't be a playoff team. You really lost all credibility once you said that nonsense. It's clear to all who read these comments who the newbie, or "casual" as you kids say, is here.
Having Steph Curry up there because he's a couple points higher than Luka (in 8 games this season) when Doncic is higher in every other category is ridiculous.
Curry is better than luka.
Watch some basketball dummy, Steph is a 2x scoring champ who can dominate with the ball with his dribbling and handling and off the ball with his conditioning and iq. What other player can be effective without the ball and isn’t a statue without it?
@@bx100391😂😂😂Luka's career AVERAGE is better than Curry's best year.
Curry......24.5ppg @47%, 6.5 assists, 5 reb, 11 triple doubles.
Luka.........28ppg @ 48%, 8 assists, 8 reb, 56 triple doubles.
Stop watching Sports Center highlights and actually learn about the game.
@@KingSally92 Steph is a 24.5 ppg player (6.5 assists, 5 reb). Luka is a 28ppg player with a better FG%, 8 reb, and 8 assists. He's literally better than Curry at EVERY aspect of the game except 3pt %. As a PG, Curry has 11 triple doubles. Luka has 56 (in 5 seasons).
If you think Curry is better, you need to lay off the crack pipe. Luka's CAREER AVERAGES are better than Curry's best year. Luka is even playing better defense this season (although they both suck).
@@SDesWritercurry is way more efficient goofy I find it funny how you didn’t mention true shooting percentage , 3 point percentage , or free throw percentage all areas where curry crushes doncic.
Luka is far beyond Tatum offensively it’s laughable. him and Jokic are the clear #1’s. Followed by Steph and Embiid.
We all know Nikola Jokić is simply the G.O.A.T! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Where’s Luka?
Kendrick averaged 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 points in 782 games. And with that " amazing " stats, obviously, it's possible to become analyst, and to criticize NBA superstars. I, for example, have a similar career as a chef. I know how to boil an egg and to make mashed potatoes, and that's it. So, I have the competence to become a cooking analyst on TV and, I don't know, to talk about Gordon Ramsay's flaws.
If anyone other than Perk I would say he's drunk!
Perk standin on bidness😂
Idc bout the lists Jokic is getting his attention finally my opinion the best center all time he can do what all last centers could do except he’s a better passer and shooter defense is regular but he does everything else
Jokic doesnt just shoot, the man rebounds and runs the point. He has the size ans is underrated defense. Not the best, but definitely not a liability like steph. I mean even bench players get more than their PPG when Steph guards them.
Perkins is a cartoon. Just a silly exaggeration of a real thing.
How to put Jokic into proper perspective:
Two days ago Jokic became the NBA’s all-time number four in career Triple Doubles, surpassing LeBron and Jason Kidd.
Think about that.
Jason Kidd, 19 seasons as a Hall of Famer.
LeBron is in his 21st season of leading a team in stats.
In other words, it takes approximately 20 years of playing at Hall-of-Fame level to reach top Top Five all-time status.
Meanwhile, Jokic has played 8 seasons.
This list is all right but kd definitely should not be on top
How does he still have a job is what we are all wondering 😂
Bro said Curry 1 of the best paint finisher and Curry finished tonight with 0/4 for 2pts. I guess KCP get some of that as his defender.
Can’t understand how Perkins is so bitter about The 🃏
Amazing how they seem to try to make Curry something he isn’t
Steph isn't what??
I know right?? Like he only went to Finals 6 times and has 4 rings?? That's it!! Who hasn't done that?? Easy peasy, right?
@@ufcislife1 yeah thanks to KD in 17 and 18
Injuries to love and Kyrie in 15
He should be 1 and 6
Most overrated player in the history of basketball
Stay delusional
@@personalwilliamsaccount .. Keep telling yourself that. And when the Warriors keep knocking your team out of the playoffs, keep on giving credit to someone other than Steph, if that makes you feel better.
@@personalwilliamsaccount..Go back and watch the Finals with Steph and KD. Steph was getting doubled twice as much as KD. It was pick your poison, and teams were choosing to double Curry. Again... 6 Finals and 4 Rings. Not saying he's the GOAT or anything, but not giving him credit is just foolish. But keep living in denial if that helps you sleep at night.
Perk always hates on Joker I'm tired of it You're the one that cried over Joker 3rd mvp
Perks was below average player, his opinion means absolutely nothing…
Tatum but no luka is criminal
Luka is 1 in scoring and 3 in assists 😂😂😂
Jokic at 3? What??? His whole entire case for being the best player in the world is that he is the clear best offensive player right now!!!
Jokic mvp
Kendrick Perkins just hasn't been the same since he blew out his knee in the 2010 Finals.
Friendly reminder: There’s a guy currently averaging *34.6* _Pts._ + *9.2* _Asts…_
and he isn’t on this List.
Damn, its not positionless basketball. Its learning the basics of basketball, when you are a kid you learn specifics of all positions since no one knows what will you play when you grow up. In the states players get SPECIALIZED to early.
Jokic is the best player in the world by a wide margin. He’s in a category / tier by himself and it’s not even close.
Jokic is unreal
Perkins IQ tests came back, thank god they are negative
Steph Curry period!
ESPN do right thing, don’t be scared!!!! Fire this dude
Jokic at 3 is a Travesty Jokic could very well average a Triple Double this year Jokic is the Best complete offensive weapon in the game Period
Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry have flaws offensively while Jokic doesn't
Jokic can't guard. That's his flaw at center
Perk: PLEASE. EVERY player has strengths and weaknesses, and Jokic is NO exception, rme.....
To have Tatum as top 5 but not Luka is crazy.
luka is averaging more points, assist, rebounds, steals and blocks per game than curry. am i missing something? skin? idk
There are barely any of our people in the US. Slovenians or Serbs. (Luka is half Slovenian and half Serbian). So what do you expect? Who is gonna vouch for 'em? The way things work here in Merica, your own people are gonna vouch for you. English, Irish, French, Scottish, Swiss, and Germans all of em are different cultures, have different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages they have nothing in common with Slavic, languages or cultures. There has always been a rift between us. When people think of Slavs they think of Russians they have a negative image. Hence why American media is gonna favor their own. You'll never see American media criticize someone who is Swiss, German, English, Irish, Scottish, Spanish, or French there are tons of their people in the US or the Western world. They have a positive outlook/view. As for Perkins he's simply abiding by the Anglo-Saxon culture he dont know better. Not like he's abiding by some African culture lets say Coptic, or Ethiopian, Eritrean ect. Plus on top of that if you are an immigrant you are not gonna be viewed favorably. America is gonna push its own first and foremost.
Put them on Steph's height they are only average. Height is the only separates Steph, but for me Steph is the best offensive player right now
Sure but at the same time, make Steph taller and he won’t be able to be as effective. Being tall while being an advantage as a center (even necessary) makes a player less likely to exceed in passing, scoring from 3, etc. Which is what Jokic is doing for example
And if my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike 😂
Take away Steph’s shooting ability and he wouldn’t even be average 😂
@@ozzee5094 lol take someone best abilities and they all trash bro u sound stupid 💀
How come the best scorer in the league(32.9ppg on 65.5% TS), best rebounding guard and top 5 assist(8.4apg) guy is not even in top 5 OFFENSICE PLAYER?? What Perkins smoking?
2023 Jokic is better offensively than 2022 Steph, 2021 Giannis, 2020 Lebron, and 2019 Kawhi. Only players who were comparable were 2017 Durant and 2016 Lebron, but 2017 Durant played with 3 other future hall of famers and 2016 Lebron had Kyrie playing at an extremely high level.
Wtf😂😂😂😂😂.. After I seen the top 4... I just accepted the fact that LUKA was #1.... But KEVIN DURANT???? 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅THAT IS SO LAUGHABLE
Jokic would eat perkins alive
perk showing this much love to the warriors? he trying to reverse jinx so they can lose tonight 💀
Jokic not at one is blasphemy
Giannis is the only player in NBA history that gets you 30ppg at 60% FG percentage. I wonder how much offense attention the wall gives a team. Also, Malcolm Borderick was 50 40 90 with Giannis. Never again with anyone else.
Why this comment section so bothered by "perk's opinion." Make yall own list & stop being emotional because someone doesn't support "your opinion" GROW UP youtube trolls
How many blunts did kendrik fatkins smoked before making that list?
As of RN I’m Putting luka on that List!
There is Nobody more Scary to Guard in the League RN when he gets rolling and Game Winners! Maybe Steph?!
Now I think I might take out KD or Embid! IDK why it Seems As though Some Black Ex Players don’t want to give Luka His Credit! Bro is A Beast
This is the reason why shows like this have no credibility..... the Luka disrespect is insane
If he was black perk would LOVE him
Jokic is a good perimeter shooter, and he is unstoppable in the paint.
I'd take him over Embiid every time. 😊
Where was these comments last year Perk , your flat out racist remarks about Jokic , Nash and Dirk ,,,to little to late, ESPN fake commentators , NBA players current and ex, just cant handle that 2 WHITE guys Jokic and Luka are better than 99 % of the players in the league , White men dont need to jump ( right Spike ) to be hoopers...
I wonder how how many white people watch basketball? You just don’t see this kind of thing in football. In football a good player is a good player regardless of race. It’s really weird that this is still a thing. The really crazy thing is is that it’s a good thing we see more European people and people from other nations doing well in basketball. It means basketball is becoming a much more global sport. If you look at soccer you can see 3 fantastic players from different countries that compete for the title of best of all time. You might consider Pele black, Ronaldo as Latin, and Messi as Latin or even white but that doesn’t matter because it’s a global game and you get superstars from all over the world.
Jokic has the most double doubles already.
You mean Kendrick Perkins doesn’t like Jokic????
News to me man….
perk still on show damn
Could anyone imagine a white guy bringing up a black player MVP caliber type …. in the same way perk brought up Jokic last year… ? they would be outta a job before you could say BAAAM…. I’m all for Jokic for MVP for simply being robbed last year thanks to that joke of an “analyst”…..
Everyone has the right to express his opinion, but it should be taken into account that his wrong opinion affects others, and it is not nice to talk about it on television, and I really don't understand who gives him media freedom
Perk putting a White Guy on the list is a miracle.
Kyrie is the most skilled offensive plAyer in the world 🌍
I wonder what luka and jokic have in common when it comes to Perkins hate on them 😅😅😅
no luka!? big perk is stupid😂
