Shaq legit wanting to party with the Jokic brothers is funny as hell
He sounded so sad when he heard they left.
Party European/Serbian style!!!🎆✨⚡
@@elwin38 that's his thing. He was once with Doncic in somewhere in Slovenia or Serbia.
@@elwin38 Shaq's a DJ, so he knows how Europeans party lol.
Those guys are wild, he is better off without them xD
You almost never see Shaq this energetic and engaged these days. That's how you know Jokic is special.
Shaq will always have a passion towards big men in general. Like when the NBA got rid of the center position I'm the all-star game years ago, Shaq was pissed and went off during Inside The NBA.
Hall of Fame players recognize Hall of Fame talent sometimes.
Jerry West went after Kobe Bryant with a vengeance. Jerry West was a Hall of Fame player, and the Hall of Fame GM. All he had to do was look at 1 workout and a few game films from Kobe Bryant, and he knew that he had his man.
There are a lot of missed opportunities, but Joker is about as obvious a talent as LeBron James was
@@OfficialKingJames23 you gotta reword that first sentence my guy
@@craigwheeler4760 That's not true Jokic grew into the game Lebron talent was seen when he was just in High School.
@@OfficialKingJames23 That's very true, he was always critical of big players who played the game soft because he loves to see someone out there that keeps the big man game alive. That's why he love Embiid and Jokic. Whereas others such as Dwight and Gobert he's critical because they sometimes don't live up to their potential.
This might be the first time I've seen Shaq being a real fan of a current player. That's a huge accomplishement.
He low-key love Nurkic. Big, strong, athletic and quite skilled. But not as agile as Shaq and Jokic.
He’s a big curry fan. But if you meant big wise then yea
shaq loves the big guys,, dwight, ampetukompo etc.. jokic wasnt the first
@@Jistsu77 well how recent was it? Last vid I saw was pretty old, back when Dwight was popular
It’s crazy how good of a peak jokic is having. Top 5 peaks ever if he continues this and wins a chip or two. Only jordan,bron,shaq can be then put before him because this stuff is unseen with his efficiency
Love how he have Chuck a bro hug, Chuck has been one of the few in sports media to give the Nuggets credit all season long.
Haha I saw that
@@aiarta2280Chuck is Nuggets beliver ❤
Barkley is behind Nuggets like he was behind Milwaukee Bucks when they won the rings .... Intriguing
Man i can tell shaq is just loving this. The big man is back in the game. 😂😂
Damn.. thanks for the likes and comments guys. For some reason i feel like i accomplished something 😂😂😂
And he embraced the game and constantly said Steph is his favorite player the past 10 years gotta love it
especially when jokic has a great post moves
@@mattdotts that is 100% correct But deep down shaq always gonna root for the big man. It looks like chuck and Shaq have literally a man crush on jokic
nuggets destroyed the heat
Jokic is a shaq, Dirk and magic hybrid . And Dirk my favorite player of all time
I love how Shaq got excited seeing him in person and you can see it in his eyes how proud he is of Jokic…
Who is he to be proud of Jokic???
@@ranojutro426 idk only one of the greatest big men of all time happy to see big men succeeding?
@@ranojutro426 one of the 2-3 most dominant centers to play the game
Ofc. Shaq has been on the Jokic Train since his 2nd year in the League.
@@ranojutro426 The most dominant player in NBA history(in his prime)
Shaq is so polite and respectful it literally sends chills down my spine.
Nah bro you feeling something else towards him 😳, politeness and respect shouldn’t make you feel like that lmao
@@samuraipiggy8 ay yo
😂😂😂
@@samuraipiggy8 I think what he is saying is that after he felt the chills down on his spine, something got hard. 😳
@@samuraipiggy8 oh my you just changed my life sir/maam/ms or whatever. I will never be the same. Thank you ❤️
Shaq rarely ever gives compliments like that, especially to a big man. He knows he’s talking too an all time great.
Shaq is an evil free mason he admits it when asked about the free mason ring.
real recognizes real ☝️
True
Yup, of course the generation of big men that followed him was the weakest in league history so I guess he's just glad they're coming back lol
@@alex-h. The Great recognizes the greatness.
Shaq and Charles can’t keep a straight face. They both seem so fascinated & star struck by Jokic & I’m loving every moment! 😂
That’s how you know he’s special, when one of the most dominant big men EVER in Shaq and a hall of famer in Barkley are star struck
Because they're among the few people on Earth who can truly appreciate what it is they're seeing
It's not star struck, it's they love his game as big man.
Jokic and the Nuggets sooo good to watch in person. I saw them in Toronto twice. On TV they’re special. But the replay can never capture the full extent of the poetry on the court. I will never get to watch them live in a playoff game and I kick myself for that haha
@@doodooswaggy3825 why do people act like playing basketball means you know more about what you’re seeing? If you watch the game, you see what Jokic is doing. He’s scoring, spacing the floor, directing his teammates, getting a few blocks in, screening, rebounding. Averaging a triple double in the playoffs and WINNING. It’s not stat padding, they need every point and the production is steady all four quarters. He can post up and get to any spot, turn around, lay it in or fade away and shoot it. What’s the fault in his game? No bounce? You need bounce when you can dunk flat footed? lol. And the ones saying he’s not in shape are blind. He plays more minutes and more games than any other superstar. He’s not explosive, but he’s strong like an ox with a diesel motor in that motherfucker and he’s never got to worry about losing his legs because he plays below the rim
How can you not like the guy, so humble as the big men of this game usually are
As a big man, you can either be humble and challenge yourself to get better when you're young, or you can be bull-headed and rely on your physicality to dominate. The latter don't make it in the nba. Even Shaq was incredibly technical and had very good fundamentals.
nuggets taking out the trash in 4
Gentle giants.
Why would you even think about not liking the guy. Geezus. Such a cliche comment.
Kendrick Perkins hates this guy.
"Just take what the game gives me". I really admire this. It shows versatility with the game only complete players have. Playing at his own pace, this man dictates the game.
He is so versatile he simply attacks the weakness of the other team's defense. Big man dribbling up court at speed?! What other big did that?
It’s the exact same mentality as LeBron. I think Jokic got more championships in him.
@@andrewegan4199he doesn't want to be evolved for anywhere near put bron does man
Bought a 105 euros Nikola Jokic Nuggets jersey. First NBA jersey ever I buy in my life (I am 50). I am ITALIAN, I live in Italy and I am up from 2 am till 5 to watch the Nuggets: first time I really think we are witnessing greatness.
You can tell that Shaq is in awe. Never seen him that impressed by a player.
Yes, it's amazing. Over the years I've seen and heard Shaq just crucify centers that underperformed. This is really a different place for Shaq.
He likes to see the Big Guys do well. Shaq was in a great mood and very generous with Nikola.
@@randygraham926 bucks would have been better If Giannis was healthy
@@randygraham926 bucks would have been better If Giannis was healthy
@@mpk5672this has nothing to do with Giannis
“I just play what the game gives me”
What a beast…
I f’kin love that mentality. It totally shows in the way he plays, he’s just watching the floor and waiting for the opportunity.
@@JonahsWail he isn't looking to do anything in particular, just make the best play available. Shades of Timmy...
@@napalmpudding yea man, god I miss duncan
He is the ultimate read and react player really. So so good in reading the game and he has so many weapons in his arsenal that he can beat you in so many ways. He can turn any of his teammates into a deadly weapon if that is the right play.
But when I watch the Joker, it seems the other way around. It's like the game just play what he gives it... It's like Jokic is the game itself.
How can you not like him. He’s like a big kid who just loves Basketball
the funny part is, Jokic doesn't even really like basketball lol
@@DevouringOne32 I get that impression from him. He hasn’t busted a legit smile all throughout this run. Most players would bd smiling ear to ear like Jimmy Butler.
Thugkola yokic
Serbs don’t seem to enjoy anything. But they do, it’s just their demeanor. He’s a stone faced killer and being that good and humble is what makes him so special
@@NoName718. players today have stewpidafrows
Jokic as showing us how a dominant big man should be playing
But what's incredible is his humility...How he carries himself...
Shaq asking him to meet his brothers is a class act! Shaq is just different 😅
What is class act about that???
@@ranojutro426if a man introduces you to his family. That means more than anything! Family is everything for a lot of people.
Yeah.. and how is he different ?
Mfs just say things now a days because it sounds good
@@nofreehooks the greatest movie franchise, as well as IP of all time, the Fast and Furious saga, expresses the same sentiment of *F A M I L Y*
@@julianmx13 Family is really the only thing that matters at the end of the day. The people who really care about you at the end of the day. No matter what would have happened. It’s different for a lot of people. But if you can relate, you understand.
Quiet. Humble. Maintained
Eye-Contact when Receiving a Compliment from a Champion he Obviously Respects.
What a dude 👌
This is the moment when Shaq gives Jokic the Big Fella nickname. Shaq is feeling like a proud father on the inside.
Shaq: “I know you are excited”
Jokic: “I am not excited”
😂 I like how he checks people prejudices
“Are you excited for the finals?”
“Nah, I just wanna go back to my farm and chill”
his reply is honestly how u know he’s gonna win the chip for his team. no emotion, just laser focus… he can get excited when they win it all and he knows that. fully tapped into mamba mentality.
@@brunoxd151 I just wanna ride my horses 😭
Charles and Shaq look legit star struck talking to Joker. 😂
Jokic got a powerful aura
To be honest, Jokic is a bit like Prince. He'd rarely go on talk shows but when he did, it's a big deal.
Playing hard to get really works.😂
Cuz dude is dominating the game as a big doing things we've never seen bigs do at a high level. He can post up, he can play make at a high level and he can shoot from anywhere on the court. He's like if Larry Bird was a center.
Charles: “Joker’a pretty man. Whenever I am around him, and he talks to me, I can’t remember anything”
Shaq: he’s “gorgious”
@@cyberbron2077 Its actually true.
He really plays like a larger Bird. Crazy now you mention it.
And Bird is somehow still not rated adequately imo. Has been turning as of late.
Jokic is also getting his due right now.
I've never seen Shaq like this with another active player, it's awesome to see the admiration for another all time great
Shaq is an evil free mason he admits it when asked about the free mason ring.
I love how much Chuck was smiling when greeting Nikola
Barkley just likes everything about Jokic, his play style, his attitude, his leadership, his accountability, and ofcourse his unmatched fashion style
Don't forget the haircut :)
Jokic getting his appropriate introduction to the masses is incredible. Literally no way to not root for someone this humble. Seemingly genuine
joel embid fake MVP
As a Denver native and hometown supporter of the Nuggets, this is just the dude we see everyday. He's basically just some guy who is polite and friendly and he plays a bit of basketball every now and then..... It's remarkable that he's as genuinely humble as he is because he worked his A$$ off to become the player he is. Long live the Joker
Say that to Kendrick Perkins
I was actually shocked on how nobody knew how hood Denver was until this year. I guess no one watched the bubble at all or even past two years ? Lol
@@jeffwagner8397 and if he’s not genuine we’ll probably never know it
A rare interview where you have a feeling that he is actually enjoying talking to the hosts 😊
Thinking the same thing. He respects Shaq and Barkley and was just himself. Really cool interview 🎉❤🎉🎉
Yea because if he was talking to the ESPN crew, he knows they'd bring up past squabbles with Miami and stirring the pot.
Wish they'd let the TNT crew do the finals
06:49, the look in Joker's eyes when Shaq is giving him his props & blessing him....that's what it's all about! Dude is truly humbled & moved. For a Serbian, that's about as emotional as it gets. Lol! He respects the game & its history so much, you know he's geeked out! He might not sleep tonight, just thinking about this moment. I think Joker is about to go out here & sweep these Miami boys after that. No disrespect to Jimmy, Spo, & Heat Culture, but the torch has officially been passed. It's Joker's League now.
Agreeeed. Also about the Serbs haha. Special kind of folk. Lots of societal trauma there. Im European, I can say this hehehe.
But yeah. People dont realise what they are watching with this guy. He ill be VERY high up there on the ´best ever stage´.
Sweep? How did that go
@@desanihill8180 nuggets in 5
Yep, came to watch this again for that
@@desanihill8180light gentleman sweep
7:14 “A real big man here right here America, all you other guys NOPE” 😂😂😂 Shaq be killing me 😂
Can we all agree Nikola Jokic is the greatest nugget of all time and it’s not even close ?
Jalen Rose is..
@@bernardbernabe7733 how?
@Simona Hristovska He can say whatever he wants, the Joker’s surpassed him by a good distance.
@Simona Hristovska just by making the finals he passes Carmelo. He’s second just be happy with that
Melo wins you a game, Jokic wins you a series and hopefully, a championship
Jokic is a unicorn in the game of basketball. Such a privilege to watch night in, night out.
He started to get really good just as the "three-point revolution" was starting to get boring. The Nuggets were a huge breath of fresh air for me as a fan when they started running the offense through him in 2018 or so
Not at all.dude is average without the elbows, moving picks, push offs, and behind the backs but the team has great chemistry
@@MJ-gw2zu So you mean the designated superstar Jason Tatum?
@@MJ-gw2zuhe set's solid screens never moves off until it's done quit making up stuff casual.
They used to call Porzingis the unicorn 😂
I cannot imagine what happened when Shaq met his big brothers, cause in Serbia Shaq is a legend, and bothres are borderline crazy.
I’ll be honest, I was hurt that they swept the lakers, but this man is just on a different level
He's so skilled and so smart. He's reacting to what he sees and feels and making great decisions. It's like hes in the zone the whole time!
He is the ZONE. Bro is so sharp and smart to make the right move. Decision making is always on point lmao how does he do that
He's so sick of doing media lol
@@GeronimoPlaz he's way more down for shaq and barkley's stuff, but the wonky tonky garbage is annoying
He did say he's not nervous or excited, but just so focused on playing the game
soon to be GOAT
The sincere humility is real. Jokic is the very definition of a team player.
It's great to see that Shaq is happy to give credit to another big. He has been praising Jokic a lot recently.
I love Jokic. Nuggets fans have finally been blessed to have a guy like this after 40+ years of waiting. ENJOY THIS NUGGETS/BASKETBALL FANS!
You can just see by how Shaq and Barkley look at Jokic they really admire him, as a player and as a person. They also recognize he's the man right now. He's in his athletic prime; these other guys know it perhaps better than Jokic himself. Cool moment when he greets them as he walks on
Shaq is an evil free mason he admits it when asked about the free mason ring.
I love how Shaq is showing the Joker respect. I think Shaq is amazed by how good the Joker is even though he is not traditionally athletic.
What??? Why you think that Shaq is better than him??? We should all respect each other.
You don't respect people that are not muscled enough??? What kind human being you are????
@rano jutro tf u talking about
@@shaneelhinds9084 he's just some random troll looking to stir the pot, nothing to see here lol
@rano jutro I love the Joker....he reminders me of myself. Not traditionally athletic but still awsome because he is smart and loves the game. I do think Shaq was better but that is not in any way a jab at Joker. The Joker is probably one of the smartest and skilled players of all time. Love his game.
@@ranojutro426 please take a deep breath dude, relax everything is all right
Balanced, well spoken, due respect for the other team, awesome respect for the Giants and yet quit humble all through this. May success find his way to him and NUGGETS
When asked about a matchup against Jokic, Shaq didn't laugh, he didn't crumple up his paper and he didn't call him names, he actually spoke about tactics and how he'd take Jokic but his teammates (even mentioned Kobe) would have to take Murray to shut Denver out. He respects Jokic enough to actually think of him as a credible matchup lol, that's the most respect he's shown to any center in the last 15 years.
NIKOLA JOKIC PLAYS 1ST FINALS GAME
- Most assists by a center in a Finals game.
- 2nd player in the last 25 years with 10 points & 10 assists in any half of a Finals game.
- 2nd player with a triple-double in his NBA Finals debut.
He's pretty good. He might make it in the NBA.
Most assists in a finals debut
Flash in the pan. When he sweeps the heat in 8 games I’ll believe…
@@dansherwood9851 in 8 😅
Flash in the pan....my Dad always says that lol
Dude is happy to sit amongst legends, it’s like he’s nervous and ready to slay at the same time. Interesting, humble assassin.
he's more nervous to sit among legends rather than play in the game 😂😂
He is star also
Why you think that they are better than him???
You are so disrespectful
@@ranojutro426 You’re too emotional. He wouldn’t be able to sit there if he wasn’t creating his own legacy weirdo.
@Walterwhiteww2 You sound crazy. Barkley is smaller and got to finals by his damn self. He didn’t have help. I didn’t even compare the two.
@@2TrainWakefield Jokić played confference finals by himself, Murray is a great player, no doubt, but when you watch full season i mean there is no doubt who is carrying The Nugets.
If I learned one thing about Jokic from this interview, its that he's being honest
Great chemistry here. Really enjoying the fact Shaq and Chuck are enjoying Joker as much as we do.
First time seeing shaq smiling at a big man. Love to see it
Why is first time???
which is pretty rare lol
@@ranojutro426 Idi spavaj mali, kasno je :)
@@ranojutro426 Because there havent been centers, or bigs in general, anywhere near as good as what the league had since he himself was playing. If we went 20 years without an elite guard, all the retired legends would be all over the next great guard. It's not rocket science
What about Gianni?
Shaq and Chuck awestruck.
I love seeing Nikola Jokic play. Shaq and Charles Barkley always cheer me up.
Shaq and barkley wants jokic to win..u can see that jokic earned their respect..
Joker made his first NBA finals game look like a brisk walk in the park 😂
It's the heat makes sense lol
@@daniell5740He woulda smacked the Celts too tho
@@daniell5740 the fact that comments like this start popping up after just the first game is insane. Y'all will pull *anything* out of your ass just to discredit the Joker 💀💀💀

This guy is so special. We are witnessing greatness
I love the admiration Shaq and Chuck show Jokic. Jokic has earned all the respect of the All Time Greats.
The players, coaches and execs all know … Jokic is special. He does not have bad games, he stays healthy, he makes his teammates better, he does everything except sell drama. You can tell Shaq was truly impressed with his game and has true respect. He doesn’t give up props to big men ever, to welcome him into the big man alliance is actually meaningful, as much as he joked about it
And Jokic truly appreciates the honor. What a great thing to be watching happen live! This will be all part of the legend one day, and i’m happy to witness it
he do have bad games... but his bad games look like other players best games :D
Lmao a “bad game” from him would be like 20+ points, about 12 rebounds and 7 assists 😭
8 years in and nikola jokic is playing on another level from the rest
Took him 8 years to win a chip m so happy for him
@@yannolove1335 could be earlier than that with healthy line up
@@yannolove1335took someone like Bron almost a decade
@@cheeseoh Lol it's really hard to do
@@cheeseoh poor mf played in trash team for half of his career
What makes Nikola special is that he respects and never underestimates his opponents, yet crushes them when it comes down to it.
I like how supportive Jokic is of his team. Gotta give them their moments when they are on fire
Shaq and Charles are both renewed with excitement for the game. This fella is defining how the game should be played and it's waking up many a fan.
Him giving a shoutout to not only Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, but also Boris Diaw!! Man, as a Spurs fan and a Dirk fan, I'm so delighted to hear his answer to that question. So happy for this W, hope Jokic wins it all this year!
Boris is another European player and great passer -- but it was surprising.
@@randygraham926 Consider this, what if Jokic is actually a lowkey big Spurs fan? Then it wouldn't be surprising at all. And as far as I can tell, he probably is. Considering his background, his playstyle, and his personality, I'd even find it WEIRD if he was somehow not a fan of that Spurs team.
@@strat0caster124considering how late he was drafted, im surprised the spurs didn't get him
Same as his MVP acceptance in the stables... no wait, you can only look up to "superstar HOFers"...
@@TaxTaxes Don't tease me...
I watched Shaq all my life. Never seen him act with this level of respect toward a player. Jokic already has the respect of legends. 10 more years like this, he'll be on the Mt. Rushmore.
the respect he has for the Heat and what they did and acknowledging that is such a great thing. there are no losers in this series!!
Remember when Kendrick Perkins said that The Joker chases stats 😂😂
Remember Stephen A has Knick for the win 😂
Nuggets are locked in and Jokic is such a stud. So humble and a hall of famer in his prime. Big honey, a true team player
The true MVP
🍯
Sus
Buddy, he’s a hall of famer already. If he suffered a big injury after this season. He’s it
After hearin my song u can get a ring💫🔥
A real big man. Playing like a big man. Not trying to play like a guard or be flashy. The biggest guy on the court should be the most dominant guy on the court. He brings everything to the table and stays even kill. The real MVP. Don’t beg for it, just be about it 🙏🏾
That's on the edge of being emotional... It's wonderful seeing Shaq excited, but even more Chuck, literally the only one in America giving credit to the nuggets, he knows that Jokic knows... A brief hug, and big honey Jok who clearly is dreaming to hang out with those guys without just talking about basketball, trying to stay serious and coherent with his role... I loved this 6:16 look at that Chuck smile
Shaq and Jokic' relationship is so wholesome.
Need that video of the Jokic bros and Shaq chopping it up
FAX we need it ASAP
Dis
Idk if them boys speak English lol
@@TedJones107 they both lived in America even before nikola laced his shoes in Sombor. Trust me they speak english better than Nikola does lmao
They do,,dont worry !
jokic talking about the first bit of international players like Vlade and Dražen just goes to show what a nice person this guys is. Dražen would’ve been top 5 guards if the tragedy hadn’t happened.❤
Jokić is JUST TOO GOOD.
Like a great fighter, he takes every opening and makes you pay.
Chuck and shaq looks like proud father
*First ever finals game of his career*
"It was just a normal game"
What a guy, truly. Warms my heart
Jokic doing Jokic things. Scores, rebounds, and assists.
ALWAYS is.
That's the secret.
Jokic is quickly becoming my favorite NBA player. Humble and the dude does not take his opponents lightly. Hes kinda like a more serious Steph Curry without the subtle jabs.
Curry aint nothing like Jokic, because Curry taunts may pretends to be humble
@@user-br2bi8rg3s curry can do whatever he wants hes a 4x champion
Such a humble dude. Impossible not to like him. Just plays ball hard on the court, chill af off it.
Man Nikola's english has got so much better over the past year. His answers are direct and to the point very well thought out and natural. Super impressed to how far he has come not only in his game but also his presentation ie. presence. Well done Jokara. Samo napred
He's a wise guy.
Boris Diaw is super underrated. That’s crazy that Jokic mentioned him when speaking on who he watched.
Probably partly because Boris is from France so another European player he probably met often. But Boris was a great passer and has some similarities to Jokic.
@Randy Graham
OR... he just watched his game...
I'm Engkish.
I've NEVER met Diaw.
I know with certainty he's amazing.
Watch his "Spurs highlights" and you'll see "The Joker"
Also, he mentioned him during his MVP acceptance interview at his stables with ITNBA.
So it's not even new news or "using a popular name"...
@@dazgordon-hill2660 didn’t say it was. Just found it interesting. Boris isn’t the first name that most people mention saying they “molded” their game after. But if you watch Jokic, it makes sense.
@nofreehooks
Every I say ISN'T "You said"... but "It has been said"...
People routinely ask "When did I say that?!?!" as if anyone said they did... weird thing to be defensive about
This interview just solidified it . Nikola Jokic is my favorite player , and favorite person in the NBA
Nikola Jokic is one of the smartest big man to ever play in the NBA.
Incredible vision ,
Passing , sees the game 2-3 seconds ahead !
First class , humble gentleman !
Bravo .

Shaq & Jokic’s brothers are gonna takeover Denver’s only nightclub tonight
Same one that Ja went to?! 😂
The less nightclubs the better
Jokic is what people used to be before social medias and now that the social medias are consuming the society those same people that are consumed by it are the one hating on this man. Its kinda sad if you think about it. I absolutely adore Nikola and the way he is as a human being and basketball player.
You probably hate embiid 😂 lmao hypocrite
It’s all because of Biden and ISIS communists
What people don’t seem to understand about Jokic, is that he’s probably the most cold blooded player in the league. Yes, he’s quiet, and can come off aloof and indifferent. But he said it himself, he felt excited before hand, but as soon as the first finals started, it was a regular old game for him, and that feeling is palpable.
He played this game like a regular game, with such ease and composure. It might not be the straight faced, no emotion or smile cold-blooded that we saw in Kobe, LeBron, or MJ, but his type of cold blooded is why he’s so damn consistent on the biggest stage. It’s as if he doesn’t feel the pressure or the big lights that others feel, and that’s a superpower for a player of his talents consistency.
It's more than that.
MJ and Kobe were there to dominate. Their will to win, their passion and their desire to win no matter the cost overwhelmed everyone.
But The Joker is playing it as a business. That's why he says he does whatever the game gives him. He will do whatever leads to victory.
Shaq and Chuck are both HOF players/big man and you can tell they were in awe
2 players in the NBA you can't hate giannis.jokic humble funny great family guys legends
What about Ja
He'll yea Ja ,he coming back strong !

Nikola Jokic is honestly a big talent in basketball. Triple double for the umpteenth time. Strong work ethics and unselfish. A good role model for everyone.
Doesn't flash guns around or say stupid political garbage either.
Plus can shoot the three that's rare for a big man
Jokic is “big talent in basketball” 😮😮😮
Wow what a hot take, guy. Really going out on a limb with that edgy, controversial opinion, aren’t you?
Just plays the game...No trash talking ..Just gets the job done...Very humble person
ion think i’ve ever seen shaq this excited to meet a player. Jokic is definitely something special.
What a player Jokic is. Can’t wait to watch this guy for another 10+ years
I hope he wants to play that much
He's 28, 10 more years at that size isn't likely. Would be cool tho

Shaq straight up just had a PROUD DAD moment 🤣
Facts.
I really believe Nikola should have Shaq induct him into the Hall of Fame. You can tell they are developing a real bond between each other.
If we ever know how hard it is to keep oneself humble and down to earth after so much praising from all over the world. This Jokic is special! Very rare human!
For Shaq to say that man. It just shows how good Jokic is.
How can you not cheer for this dude. He’s sucha genuine person and also a very very great ball player. Go Nuggets!
One of the best plays of the game was when jokic was backing down bam amd as soon as he felt the double team on his body he knew a teammate was wide open. In less than a half second he turns and hits brown wide open in the corner
I can not lie, I was a big Jokic hater before this season started.. but as I watch him play he literally plays the game the right way every play. If he sees his teammate open he’s making that pass he’s not reliant on scoring but can score at will and his shooting is super underrated. Plus he’s actually a genuine human being, loves being with his family and I love it. Jokic better get this ring.
Good thing you turned friend.
Because I REALLY doubt the intentions of people hating him. Has to be race or him just being European.
Because regarding his play and his personality...
There is no objective reason. Seriously.
Your comment really made my day. It’s so cool when people give each other a fair shot and find they really like them after all. I admire that in you.🥹
@@jesstiss222 no worries jess it’s
it will be gold to see shaq and jokic brothers together
Why??? What is about that
@@ranojutro426 Shaq gets to hang out with people his size that ARENT basketball players. Its rare. It never happens.
Honestly, I'm not sure why i'm responding to you when you dont understand basic concepts. I pray that this is just a language barrier and not some form of dumbassery
@@ranojutro426 jbt Sta ti je, smiri se malo
@@ranojutro426cause his bros are big ass dudes and know how to party. Shaq wants a piece of the action.
@@motmi2356 Ranom jutru izgleda pada noč,izbija negativa iz njega !
Focused, not letting his guard down because he doesn't wanna underestimate his opponent. No drama, just pure game.
How elite ball should be played💯 nothing better
And respect. I know we didn’t invent it, but respecting your opponent is a big deal in the Serbian/ex-Yugoslavian school of basketball. Bravado and arrogance is seen as disrespectful.
@@Serbinnhio
Ex-Yugoslavian culture of being humble are same in Asia.
@@lovepeoplehu9883 Most of Eastern and Northern Europe really. Mediterranean Europe is different. But... Norway and the Netherlands for instance also HATE bravado
Jokic is a beast man. Love his game.
Jokic makes Shaq look physically mortal lol
Wow. Shaq's praise of Jokic - very special. Very well video'd as well, folks. That was basketball gold right there. Well done.
Chuck; ”And second of all - What the hell did you do for 9 days!?” 😂
love these guys
😂💪🏻🍻
I’m happy he mentioned Boris Diaw since he was a unique player with great passing skills and great basketball IQ
Love the respect he shows, comes up and the first thing he does he shake everyone's hand.
