Jokic dominates the sport with his brain, most fans are too dumb to see it. Not to mention he may be the best in shape athlete in any sport. You never see him tired, lazy or discouraged as Luka sometimes gets. I been watching since 1979, Jokic is easily the best I have ever seen.
Okay, I agree with you on Jokic's brain, but you lost me on his athleticism. Jokic looks exhausted some nights and can't jump high, dude uses his mass to body his way into the paint. I love Jok, deserve the MVP, but don't blow smoke about our McNugg not getting tired.
@@WanderingExistence Go to Draymond Green's comments (recently - last week) about Jokic being the "best conditioned athlete in the league." Facts. As for athleticism, jumping is the ONLY thing he doesn't do well. His body balance, hand-eye coordination, timing, hand reflexes, shooting touch (!!!), and speed for size is amazing - and these are ALL physical attributes at the foundation of athleticism.
I wouldn't say fans are too dumb to see it, I think most people just haven't played the sport at a competitive/structure enough level to be able to understand what jokic does and how exactly he makes his team better imo
@@alanmtz8054 You don't have to play at a high level. I think it's just a matter of mindset. I was conditioned from a young age to play 'team over individual' basketball, so that's how I see the game now. That's on top of the 'defence wins championships' mindset, so current NBA is kinda hard to watch in general.
@@WanderingExistenceexactly, he counts on his brain not on his muscles. Muscles can role the rocks but brain is ruling the world. You can be hulk but if you are stupid doesn't help
for some reason I have to repeat that no player has such a positive influence on the players and the team as Joker, he turns them into players, relaxes them, motivates them, they simply get better, and that's why Joker is mega old!
I am so happy that we finally have a great role model for our children. Nikola is not selfish, not showing off, great father, husband just great human being wich is very, very important this days. I was about to banning my children watching NBA until Nikola show up.
What he really means is a specific demographic of kids. Arenas and people like him say that Jokic and Luka are boring too watch, but they're actually the most fun to watch. Those guys are starting to pull the nba away from the ghetto clown show that it has become.
Somebody needs to get Gilbert Arenas off the internet. Nobody gives a DAMN about Jokic not being a flashy players. He’s the best player right now for a reason. Everybody hating on this man for no reason.
I mean I do understand where he's coming from. Basically Jokic isn't as cool, or marketable as Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Lebron or Curry. He isn't doing commercials like that, or any of that stuff. I absolutely agree you can't hold that against him. Even if he's the best player, it isn't his job to be cool and marketable if he isn't interested. But from a players perspective, it is good for the NBA if the definitive best player is also to some degree a captivating media personality.
@@deanfirnatine7814 Shaq was a freight train with highlight dunks and unstoppable athleticism. Joker has a funny personality but he also INTENTIONALLY tries to stay away from the media. To be a media start, one thing must be true. You have to want it. Joker doesn't want it. He's fine being a great player and never talking to the media.
Jokic best superpower is to make every teammate better. He is so humble and the best teammate ever. Except of Grant, who took of after playing with Jokic, I can’t think of anybody who got better after traded away from the nuggets.
I stopped watching NBA games and highlights when MJ first retired. I only got back into watching nba clips and highlights because of JOKIC. He is just fun and awesome to watch!
As a Colorado native, he reminds me of the Broncos when they won their 2 straight Superbowls in 98 & 99. Everyone knew they were gonna hand it off to Terrell Davis and run it right down their throats but no one could stop it. Everyone knows Jokic is gonna come down and make something happen on the offensive side of the court, but no matter how much they try, they can't stop him.
I think the most appreciable trait of Jokic is his outlook in life. For him, basketball is his job. It doesn't mean he doesn't work to improve. He works as hard as the top players in the league to improve his craft. But he still know what matters - family.
He is an absolute phenomenon, once in a lifetime player. Hopefully he doesn't pull a Barry Sanders and disappear too soon. He could be the GOAT if he decides it's what he wants.
When you have a team that rallies around you recognizing your greatness, recognizing that he makes them look better, you have a megastar. Ignore the pundits.
Time to educate "the kids" on the "game". How satisfying to watch a Master Game. What an honor to watch Jokic orchestrate the game of Nugget Basketball. I love it!
He isn't entirely wrong. Jokic simply isn't the marketable personality that the NBA got to benefit from with Jordan, Lebron, and Curry. I think it's stupid for Arena's to hold that in any kind of way against Jokic as a player. But it is what it is, the best player in the NBA is just going to be kinda boring for awhile. Which is fine, the NFL made it work with Brady and Manning.
@@mitchtherevolutionBecause the NBA will only promote Black players, lets be honest, look how they promoted Shaq another giant sized center whose game had none of the flashy passing of Jokic but both guys with oversized joking personalities. Its all about racism.
@@deanfirnatine7814 They promote Luka, they promoted Nash. Shaq and Jokic are nothing alike. Shaq is more like Giannis than Jokic and the fact you're saying that means you know nothing about basketball. Shaq was a walking highlight reel. I said this in my other response to you, but Jokic actually tries to stay out of the media. No matter how funny he is, the media can't promote him if he doesn't want to be in the spotlight.
Sure Jokic isnt what kids wants to see but he is all what we parents wants from our kids. Being good guy, on the court, off court too, humble, down to the earth etc.
Joker has the purest and simplest game in todays league, where everybody want to shoot a damn three and do flashy dunks before they break a tissue. Im 1000% sure whoever think jokic doesn't play good game or is not athletic enough, they havent played a single game in their life.
Dude don't pretend like Jokic has the commercial marketability as Jordan, LeBron, or Curry. I think it's stupid to hold it against him, because it's not his job to be cool. But it's also stupid to pretend like marketability isn't at least somewhat important in an entertainment industry.
@@mitchtherevolution Who are you responding to? Read my comment. "He doesn't have it" is in quotes. Its taken from the video. Its not my comment. I was just responding to it. Learn to comprehend what you read.
@@nickv4073 Umm, I was replying to you... I know you were quoting the video, and responding to it. I was saying that Arenas is actually kinda correct, but he's taking it too far. Jokic does not have a traditionally marketable personality. That's just a fact. Now what were you saying about reading comprehension? Because it sounds like you need remedial tutoring.
Players with fundamentals will always cook opponents x10 compared to a flashy player. That’s why players like Kawhi and Jokic are able to get it done then it’s crunch time. I don’t mind flashy basketball but if it’s not resulting in wins then what’s the point.
I'm not sure how old you are but I'm 60 years old and he reminds me of Larry Bird. Different style both could do a lot of different things. But most of all thay made there teammates better. And Bird was pure clutch.
Jokic brings a lot to the game. The most important thing is not to be selfish as most of the nba legends. Game is about team sport not individual. imagine if he is selfish how many points can he score. I bet you he would beat all legends.
Gilbert is right! Joker will never be the darling of the streetball set. However it would appear European teams and European players are better team players than US players. He's not at the club, he's not getting suspensions for drug usage, he doesn't care about the parade, doesn't care about the confetti. A team that has 5 guys averaging double digits when it counts, no teammate has anything bad to say about him. No disrespect but he is a player and person to emulate!
Everyone knows there is no one else can compare with Jokic He is making the so called "we are the NBA" players look foolish with his mastery on the court and the "we are the NBA" gang for the most part will not give him credit for being the best. Those who did not want him to win a 3rd consecutive MVP voted against him in 2023 and will do so again this year. Racism exits in the "we are the NBA" members. He is a humble individual and a real role model, something that seems to be lacking in the NBA
Kids...please....Kids don't know their ass from their elbow....All over the country, Men over 50 are coming back to the NBA in droves to watch Joker and the Nuggets
What a different realities we live on... Guy said he'll never be ultra superstar or whatever, however much rings or wins he has... Why the fak would he care or want to be a gigastar!?! He plays basketball, cares about winning in basketball, and is successful in it! Every basketball loving person loves to see it! If you wanna hyperstar go to Hollywood, MTV, or whatever, why should Nikola entertain you outside the GAME OF BASEBALL?!?
They just hatin Is it for clicks or their genuine opinion idk but anyone with eyes can see that Joker aka Cookie Monster is by far the best player for like last 3 or 4 years
What, exactly, does Gilbert Arenas thinks Jokic lacks? He has two MVPs (and should have a third), a Finals MVP and a ring. He has the kind of career Arenas wishes he had.
they're all mad because he's the best player in decades, best center ever, and could be best player ever, and the reason they are all mad is because he is white
It’s totally crazy to label him already as the best center ever, give him 4 more years to still prove himself and level up his game, then we can start talking about him being the best center ever to play the game.
He's not better than either Kareem, Russell, or Chamberlain. I will say Yao Ming was better. Jokic you would have had serious problems with the 80s and 90s fast [pasce and more physical playing.
The fact is kids should be emulating joker. You can be the best with court vision and fundamentals. You don't have to have a 44" vertical, blazing speed and the correct measurments.
Bullshit. 99% of kids can't make it as professional athlete no matter how hard they fucking try. Only 1% kids even have a chance, and then only 1% of that actually make it. Just because you don't recognize Jokic as an elite athlete at 6'11, 285 and unstoppable, doesn't mean you should give normal kids stupid ideas.
@@mitchtherevolution actually good fundamentals and a god court vision is a lot more realistic goal than being super blazing fast and a ballhog handler.
@@aurelian2668 No. That's a bullshit take, and I can prove you're wrong. It entirely depends on what the individual is innately good at that is what they should focus on. Most people can train hard enough to be as athletic as JJ Reddick was. However, it is completely impossible to teach a stupid person to be smart. If Russell Westbrook had spent his development focusing on being a smart player instead of an athletic player, he would have never made the NBA. Similarly if JJ had focused on being athletic, he wouldn't have made it. You have to focus on your strengths, and you have to actually have strengths in the first place. Training, effort, and trying hard to improve are vastly overrated. LeBron James wouldn't be a 75% free throw shooter if practice could make you good at everything.
Stop saying he’s not athletic. He’s literally a professional athlete. What he is not is explosive or fast. But those aren’t the only metrics that define athleticism. He has great balance, strength, and stamina.
I’m so glad he played the way he did in the western conference finals and finals. Almost everyone that didn’t watch him a lot said the mvps were because he was white. Ridiculous. He’s a beast.
The fact Jokic can single handily annihilate the whole circus of NBA so called “megastars” and then come back to Europe and play with his horses, just wearing flip flops and drinking beer in public, casually posing for selfies, it’s just priceless.
I love seeing the polarizing extremes. You take the tangibles and create all these narratives. Most people are not going to be 7 foot and have the hand-eye-coordination to take advantage of being 7 foot.
Added a low post element this year? He always had great footwork, strength, and touch. People are now seeing it more because the Nuggets have more televised games on TNT/ESPN, and the playoff run from last year
I knew he was good, but last year in the play off with Murray, man that guy does not play full strength in regular season, he was doing everything, he had a 40 point games and next game he had at first half 4 shoot attempt and already 10+ assist and 10+rebound. Like he dont give a shit about stats he just gets what the defense gives him. You doubt him and are gonna have a 20 assist game and 10 points. There is no ego on that guy.
Rebounds like Rodman? Not sure about that 😂. Passes like magic? Passes better than magic imo. I don’t think “shoots like bird” is accurate, although he is very accurate at the shots he takes, amazing touch. The screening - accurate.
Well once again if it is not black athlete making monster dunks or having a drama Queen attitude they are not going to give him his rightly deserved accolades' So what he just does his job and his basketball IQ is a real asset instead of just looking to do one top 10 espn dunk a night this is what a true champion does, bird like, never dunk over anyone, just played basketball and made the right decision when it was needed. nowadays if you not black in the NBA then they will not give you any real props as the old saying in the movie goes they would rather look good and lose as play bad and win.
Tim Duncan doesn't have it he got 5 chips seriously this people need to shut up about just because a player ain't being flashy. They are winners if they have the ability not because of Flashiness. Bird, Jokic, Tim Duncan... are great example of this
What's funny is the 60's had dozens and dozens of players like this. We are told constantly that this type could never make it into the NBA today. People are so dumb.
I love Jokic--he is my favorite player to watch---its like watching a real genius at work---but I have a feeling Boston will beat them in the finals. I hope Im wrong.
Denver would sweep Boston, and that's not a joke. Boston was 27-0 at home last month, until Denver went in there and shit on their table. Thursday night, Denver will win by 20+ at home.
That first take from Nick wright is an all-time bad take. Credit to him for saying he was wrong after they won, I get that he needed to see it, but the comparison to Paul was and is flabbergasting

The fact is kids should be emulating joker. You can be the best with court vision and fundamentals. You don't have to have a 44" vertical, blazing speed and the correct measurments.
Bullshit.
99% of kids can't make it as professional athlete no matter how hard they fucking try.
Only 1% kids even have a chance, and then only 1% of that actually make it.
Just because you don't recognize Jokic as an elite athlete at 6'11, 285 and unstoppable, doesn't mean you should give normal kids stupid ideas.
The best doesn't mean the best in the world. It can be the best on your team, or in your league.
@@mitchtherevolution actually good fundamentals and a god court vision is a lot more realistic goal than being super blazing fast and a ballhog handler.

No. That's a bullshit take, and I can prove you're wrong.
It entirely depends on what the individual is innately good at that is what they should focus on.
Most people can train hard enough to be as athletic as JJ Reddick was.
However, it is completely impossible to teach a stupid person to be smart.
If Russell Westbrook had spent his development focusing on being a smart player instead of an athletic player, he would have never made the NBA.
Similarly if JJ had focused on being athletic, he wouldn't have made it.
You have to focus on your strengths, and you have to actually have strengths in the first place.
Training, effort, and trying hard to improve are vastly overrated.
LeBron James wouldn't be a 75% free throw shooter if practice could make you good at everything.
Nicola is the only player I watch, plus Caitlin!
Nikola
Stop saying he’s not athletic. He’s literally a professional athlete. What he is not is explosive or fast. But those aren’t the only metrics that define athleticism. He has great balance, strength, and stamina.
I’m so glad he played the way he did in the western conference finals and finals. Almost everyone that didn’t watch him a lot said the mvps were because he was white. Ridiculous. He’s a beast.
Jokic is like Tom Brady low draft pick huge performance.
The fact Jokic can single handily annihilate the whole circus of NBA so called “megastars” and then come back to Europe and play with his horses, just wearing flip flops and drinking beer in public, casually posing for selfies, it’s just priceless.
I love seeing the polarizing extremes. You take the tangibles and create all these narratives. Most people are not going to be 7 foot and have the hand-eye-coordination to take advantage of being 7 foot.
I returned to rewatching NBA last 2018-19 because of Joker.
Taco Bell should give away free tacos anytime he gets a triple double, but I guess that would put them out of business
Taco Bell's never go out of business.
No matter how hard they try to die.
Let’s just ask LeBron what he thinks about Jokic. Oh! He already said it! Greatness personified.
Show me ONE single NBA star that cares about his horses as much as Jokic
Kids target audience of the NBA LOL . Jokic just wants to play ... He doesn't care about the politics . He's a artist ...
So close to 100k y’all 😮
Jokic is like a tractor on a mud track racing against Ferraris with smooth tires
While the boys from the hood run and dunk, the real men play the game with skills.
racism ain’t the answer to racism homie
@@wentcambro7625it is … because we scared to out Minority racism and they keep being racist
@@DagenLucas Another privileged adult baby wants to be a victim. Pathetic.
Nick Wright will never live that segment down.
Added a low post element this year? He always had great footwork, strength, and touch. People are now seeing it more because the Nuggets have more televised games on TNT/ESPN, and the playoff run from last year
I knew he was good, but last year in the play off with Murray, man that guy does not play full strength in regular season, he was doing everything, he had a 40 point games and next game he had at first half 4 shoot attempt and already 10+ assist and 10+rebound. Like he dont give a shit about stats he just gets what the defense gives him. You doubt him and are gonna have a 20 assist game and 10 points. There is no ego on that guy.
Rebounds like Rodman passes like magic shoots like bird, sets screens like Karl malone
And sees the court like nobody in the history of basketball.
Rebounds like Rodman? Not sure about that 😂. Passes like magic? Passes better than magic imo. I don’t think “shoots like bird” is accurate, although he is very accurate at the shots he takes, amazing touch. The screening - accurate.
I heard another comp on different video that was funny, vertical of Phyllis from the office 😂
It’s funny that the only reason Gilbert arenas is relevant is because he brought a gun to the locker room lol
hey now, he’s also famous for being a shot chucking loser too
Well once again if it is not black athlete making monster dunks or having a drama Queen attitude they are not going to give him his rightly deserved accolades' So what he just does his job and his basketball IQ is a real asset instead of just looking to do one top 10 espn dunk a night this is what a true champion does, bird like, never dunk over anyone, just played basketball and made the right decision when it was needed. nowadays if you not black in the NBA then they will not give you any real props as the old saying in the movie goes they would rather look good and lose as play bad and win.
I like Jokic
Jokic is lowkey a funny instigator 😂😂
Awesome analysis
Tim Duncan doesn't have it he got 5 chips seriously this people need to shut up about just because a player ain't being flashy. They are winners if they have the ability not because of Flashiness. Bird, Jokic, Tim Duncan... are great example of this
The guy really is amazing.
Great video
What's funny is the 60's had dozens and dozens of players like this.
We are told constantly that this type could never make it into the NBA today.
People are so dumb.
Lets face, all the negative comments/opinions coming from the NBA know-it-alls is because Jokic isn't black.
People are always speculating how Larry Bird would do in today's NBA. Well......pull up a chair and put on some Jokic youtube highlights.
I love Jokic--he is my favorite player to watch---its like watching a real genius at work---but I have a feeling Boston will beat them in the finals. I hope Im wrong.
Denver would sweep Boston, and that's not a joke. Boston was 27-0 at home last month, until Denver went in there and shit on their table. Thursday night, Denver will win by 20+ at home.
That first take from Nick wright is an all-time bad take. Credit to him for saying he was wrong after they won, I get that he needed to see it, but the comparison to Paul was and is flabbergasting
He would lose his (well-payed) job if he was rational... A man has gotta do what he gotta do to fit in his work environment.
NBA stardom is not dependent on what children want to see.
Can’t wait till him and that big white from Dallas get together, they will win everything
Obviously you are not talking about BBall
1:44 - 2:05 you merely claimed the bell, adapted to it, i was born it
Who this guy talking Jokic never gonna be superstar?
Enjoyed, goid content
Much love
Jokic: "we make so many people happy"
But Jokic makes a lot more people unhappy. 🙂
Gilbert - one the most r a c i s t ex-NBA players among Kenyon Martin, Larry Johnson, etc.
1:40 his face is so crazy
Goat
Gilbert Arenas is the CLOWN!!!!
