The fact he does everything and is so efficient is just crazy.
And makes it look easy
Denver nugget fan since I was ten when they drafted Melo in 2003. I can't believe this moment is here. I'm emotional right now. Our little ABA franchise is gonna get a chip
Jazz fan here. So happy for the Nuggets this year. It has been an absolute joy to watch them play in the playoffs this year.
miami doing very well right now though
Im also fan of nuggets, but its not denver nuggets 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Ghost of Doctor J from the 1976 ABA Finals will finally be exorcised.
what i dont get is why is everyone is so surprised at Jokic....who tf do you think WON the MVP the last 2 years and shouldve been 3..........mindboggling
Sadly a lot of people haven't actually watched Nuggets games until the Suns series, so they completely undermined him and the team's ability. Nice to see he's about to win his first FMVP tonight or in game 6.
NBA doesn't promote the nuggets like they're supposed to
Because he's white and Stephen doesn't like that.
If I told you just a couple a years ago just one player who would eliminate Bron, AD, KD, Booker, CP3 and Jimmy butlers Heat while averaging 30pts triple double , taking the Franchise to their 1st NBA finals, breaking multiple NBA records in the process you prob would have not believed me because that sounds like one of the greatest runs in the NBA history.
Joker is incredible leading the playoffs in points, rebounds & assists. Right now The joker is dominating the game like a prime Shaq while shooting 47% from three, while hitting 80% of his FT, while orchestrating the offense every single position. Safe to say Joker is becoming one of the best or even the best lethal offensive player the game has ever seen.
Most of them are old now lmao
This is so out of context, cp3 is injured, lakers were the 7 seed, heat were the 8th...
@@vannq7785 cp3 was getting worked by the nuggets when he did play, the lakers had just beat the number 2 seed and the defending champs and most media and fans had the lakers beating the nuggets btw and the heat took out all the best teams in the east, which then the nuggets went on to gentlemans sweep. How’s that for context?
@@devydean1975 and for the final context: all that just to still be the easiest title run compared to the last 15+ champions 😮💨
@@vannq7785 You’re just salty that your team didn’t make it and need excuses to cope lmao. What ever makes you feel better tho 👍
I remember when I was confused why they let go of Nurkic and decided to go with an unathletic center with Jokic.

Nikola Jokic & Denver Nuggets NBA Champions
Novak Djokovic Roland Garros & record breaking 23 Grand Slam Champion.
Welcome to Serbia, the land of sports!!!
I like he set the all categories playoff record because guys are going to try to beat that and we are going to see better games. Jokic will change how teams approach the game - those who can will imitate others will need to adapt.
I would take joker 30 point triple doubles that he was averaging btw over anything lebron has done in his whole career. Im dead serious about that.
I remember when Jalen said this "positions being created so novice can follow", Water Pistol Pete Bayless remembers this as well.
Joker has skill something that is lost in todays game people always point at the fact that players today are stronger and can jump higher which can be debated but skillset is what makes your career last longer Jordan Kobe Duncan Hakeem athleticism can only last so long and he can shoot pass and post up literally the best player in the Nba only reason he didn’t win mvp because he hasn’t won a championship now he is getting ready to silence the haters and doubters next year he will win his 3rd mvp and he will be better because he will have playoff experience
HE AINT LYING!! & YOU HEARD JALEN ROSE!! IVAN DRAGO LOOKING LIKE!! ROCKY CHARACTER IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS!! CANT MAKE THIS UP!! 😂😂😂
Bro is a stretch big Demi god
ESPN boss: ok boys, we need some major sucking up
Weird battle - but it would be so good to watch Luka vs Jokic in the final 😭 but it’s not possible but would be a final to break everything I swear
Denver Fan since Melo came then Jokic during his breakout game against New York way back 2016 during that time Kristaps was still being labeled as the Unicorn
Giannis in finals 2021 is one of the epic.
Imagine if someone like Shaq possessed even a portion of Jokic's skills (passing, touch, floaters, free throws, one-leggers, 3-pointers). Jokic is showing us how much more the game will evolve in the future.
He didn't even need all that. Just having a free throw % in the mid 80s would've probably made him the greatest.
Free throws are how INTELLIGENT THE NBA GUIDELINES ARE FOR PROFESSIONAL MONEY
Culture and heart can only take you so far. Seattle Slew had more heart/fight than Secretariat but I wouldn't pick Slew to beat Sec. You still need TALENT to win.
Giannis did it
Jokic did it
Luka it's all on you now
These 2 are too good tho
Mavericks are a poor runned franchise
I agree
Honestly after Dirk I thought they were done, but somehow they managed to get Luka.
Cuban will waste his prime.
Just remember sas voted for embid for mvp.
Personally, I think the NBA contract period should be up to 7 years. 5 years is too short. 9 years is a bit long.
7 years is too long to bro. It takes 1 injury to make even a 4 year deal an albatross of a contract. Also with a rising salary cap. Great players always want to maximize their earnings. Although it would be nice to have continuity in teams as it would create more rivalries. But teams are not willing to take the risk
Why is media so concerned with the superlatives? "Greatest of all time, most dominant,best performance of all time,etc" It's boring.
Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 6 games in the 2021 NBA Finals. And 50points in a close out game. And recorded one of the best block in NBA history.
Giannis and jokic 🤝 easily the best players in world basketball.
All dunks
@@TruthSpeaker4 all dunks yet you cannot dunk. Fucked up!

Hes amazing….but MURRY has been the missing key the whole time.
He is all star player...
Denver is going to a problem for years to come. Have you seen Aaron Gordon's body? He's not as tall as AD but he sure can push him around. They're too big.
Jordan against the Suns is the best finals performance ever but Joker doing his thing no doubt
And giannis in 2021?
@@johnariessarza3622 Giannis is up there too
Serbian stallion Unstoppable
Where is Embiid??????????????
Stephen A secretly praying cuz he wants to go back to Miami.
Mnemonic
Yo
He didn’t much much competition
Skip duped by these Miami overachieving Cinderellas/frauds but they still needed talent to win it all. It can't just be from grit and grind ala Seabiscuit. Season ends tonight.
cant believe he aint the mvp 🤣
Nikola Jokic becomes a NBA Champion and Finals MVP as the Denver Nuggets are the NBA Champions for the first time in Franchise History 🔵🟡⚪️🏔🏆
Lebron entered the league 11yrs before Nickola. Who's the goat?
Was he not a tub of lard one week ago?
Himmy jordan will be making an appearance tonight 🤭 Miami in 7 😊😊
Jesus Christ are we always gonna be prisoners of the moment?
The moment says he’s the only player to lead all players in points assists and boards in the playoffs. He’s HIM.
He just won. Your point?
LBJ led both teams in pts assists rbs blks stls in the finals multiple times
Joker did it in every round,not just the finals.
@757bigj not on the defensive side of the court
Hey ESPN, nice little clip here. Can you please ask your producers to drive a positive narrative on Jokic going forward? What you did to this hard working humble star last year was unacceptable. The stat padding, the beneficiary of racist voters, the he doesn’t care, the he is unathletic is all wrong, all cruel, all untrue. There is enough truly bad behaviour in the NBA, yiu don’t need to make stuff up about one of the good guys.
