Back then gallinari was low key one of the face of that franchise in that post melo kanneth faried era He said He Joker doesn't have any room for improvement on offense Which was wrong but it gives the idea of what beast was about to be unleashed into the league He finished describing joker saying He can only improve on defense Which he did and can still get better but he's pretty decent now on defense
Ive noticed american players and announcers/personalities all seemed to dislike him until his game was so good they were forced to be around him at events, interviews, etc. He definitely has a great yet shy personality.
Imagine how many guys out there like Jokic that were not seen over the years. Someone who doesn't look and move like a typical basketball player, but delivers.
You got close, but didn't nail it. The real "hidden" reason is the deeply systemic racism and bias against white basketball players, both European and American. NBA Scouts, media, and "expert" TV analysts still discredit Jokic and Luka regardless of actual on-court performance. The amount of people who voted SGA above Luka for MVP was absurd, and you even had people like Kendrick Perkins and Ramona Shelbourne vote Jalen Brunson ahead of BOTH Jokic and Luka. Let that sink in for a second. Black European players (e.g. Wemby, Giannis) skate on the same criticism that ESPN and other big media outlets levy on the white players. Big Perk single handedly gave Embiid the MVP award last year by crying "racism" which is pretty ironic given his voting record. It's a disgrace, but after a few more years it will be undeniably obvious that white European players are the new face of the NBA. Sorry SGA, sorry Ant, the media will cry for you, but it's just a fact.
Bill Walsh went to Notre Dame to scout a wide receiver. He ended up impressed by the footwork of a skinny senior quarterback who was throwing the rock to the receiver. Some random dude named Joe Montana.
I really do think it’s because nba scouting is lazy Gilbert arenas said this, he said you can’t learn shit about a player going against a trainer in pre draft workouts😂 and he’s completely right imo teams should’ve ran scrimmages to see how talented he actually is because he’s not a 1v1 ball player he’s a 5v5 player and there’s a lot of other guys in the league like that
The patience with injuries paid off last year, which was great! But obviously did not last. At this point, if the players around Jokic cannot remain as consistent as him, the Nuggets organization appears willing to squander his career. Get it together, now, ffs.
not hidden hes big hes slow they worried he wasnt athletic enough......luka to a degree had same worries......scouts seem to prefer a 40inch vert to fundamentals and high iq....other sports too look at tom brady lol
@@saulspanco854 I just thought bring race into it was a strange thing to say, I am sure Luke kornet works really hard but he isn't winning a damn MVP trophy because he isn't that type of player, Nikola jokic being good at basketball makes some people feel uncomfortable and Insecure, to me that is sad it's just basketball.

That quote by Malone at the beginning is honestly legendary
Back then gallinari was low key one of the face of that franchise in that post melo kanneth faried era
He said
He Joker doesn't have any room for improvement on offense
Which was wrong but it gives the idea of what beast was about to be unleashed into the league
He finished describing joker saying
He can only improve on defense
Which he did and can still get better but he's pretty decent now on defense
Ive noticed american players and announcers/personalities all seemed to dislike him until his game was so good they were forced to be around him at events, interviews, etc. He definitely has a great yet shy personality.
He's not shy, he's humble there's a difference
@@Juan_rivera he is most definitely shy, but yes, very humble. If i had a son id want him to be like Nikola.
@@normstewart67-99 agree to disagree
Imagine how many guys out there like Jokic that were not seen over the years. Someone who doesn't look and move like a typical basketball player, but delivers.
I'm still not convinced that Jokic in 2024 can do a push up but that dude can play ball!
Players say he's strong

Always a good day when trees uploads
Appreciate you Trevor!

hes actually come out and said he loves one v one's
It’s also telling that the player to break the nba is a Team player.
Joel "crybaby" embiid the fake MVP
6:04 So Tim Connely, the one that built the Wolves into an anti-Nuggets team was also the one who drafted Jokic.
Bro thank you!! I needed this! unseen footage! your awesome TREESE!!
You're awesome Gavin!
Most underrated basketball youtouber fr
4:02 Boban Alert
one of the Goats one day
Malone is a mad scientist
The patience with injuries paid off last year, which was great!
But obviously did not last.

W video as always
TREESE how’s the army goin man
Only in the reserves now! Training only occurs if there's a call-in, which are quite rare now!
It’s not so hidden, we all know why
not hidden hes big hes slow they worried he wasnt athletic enough......luka to a degree had same worries......scouts seem to prefer a 40inch vert to fundamentals and high iq....other sports too look at tom brady lol
He’s white?

My guy Mou ❤

Still appreciated 👏
Jokic was genuinely low ceiling at 18. The real story is if you’re a hard working white guy you will be mvp
The race thing doesn't even make sense, jokic is a talented guy who worked hard and wasn't giving anything has nothing to do with his race.
Lol most of the guys in the NBA are hardworking. Why doesnt every White guy in the NBA have a MVP right now?
@@saulspanco854 I just thought bring race into it was a strange thing to say, I am sure Luke kornet works really hard but he isn't winning a damn MVP trophy because he isn't that type of player, Nikola jokic being good at basketball makes some people feel uncomfortable and Insecure, to me that is sad it's just basketball.
Jokic is an actual white man and not a wigger is what I think op meant
