Koliko sam komentara na raznim video snimcima pročitao da ljudi iz celog sveta ponovo prate NBA posle 5,10,15 i više godina pauze zbog Nikole Jokića. I ja sam jedan od privilegovanih ljubitelja košarke i sporta uopšte što živim u ovom vremenu. Hvala Nikola!
A new different generation than Michael Jordan's and Shaq! These guys are busting-out with moves I've never seen ANYBODY do before; not Michael Jordan, not Shaq, not Kobe! Every generation brings new life to the game.
I have to agree with the comment above. I'm old school to the heart, but I have to say Jokic is the closest player I've ever seen to Bird, even on a par with him.
Watching this man play basketball is like watching art. He plays at his own pace. He gets everyone involved. He makes it look simple. He’s skilled and he has one of the highest basketball IQ”s in the NBA.
Passes like Magic Johnson, shoots the fadeaway like Jordan, can do behind the back crossover dribble like Allen Iverson, blocks like Mutombo, can do the Hakeem Olajuwon dream shake and after all that smiles like Elmer Fudd
Passes more like Stockton than Johnson. Has the brain of Larry Brid. I love his footwork, it reminds me of a slightly slow downed version of Shawn Kemp.
Smart hoops!! Love watching the way these guys read each other on the court. Joker all but guarantees a score on each return of it gets to his hands because he knows where to put it. Jokic and Murray read other SOOO well!!
I'm sure your comment is implying good perspectives but, there's a perspective that part of myself could see where your comment could be insinuated as coming from, " you think other people that exist besides yourself are here to just entertain you?" I was wanting to add that his qualities and knowledge of this sport are mere fractions of the rest of his qualities and importance for others. Though he is skilled in a sport, I wouldn't want to just perceive the secular capability of a human being as just entertainment. It's also a reminder of the hard work it takes, the mental and physical grit, the importance of remembering not everyone is evil and some use their free will to create sportsmanship like atmospheres. Where many groups of people or like minded individuals can congregate and work together, etc. I apologize if I seem like I'm attacking you because I'm not. I just want to emphasize a little more on the subject of how some people look at others as merely entertaining and that's all.
You put this vid side by side with Bird's mixtape highlight vid and their playing styles are so similar. Down to the tip passes, between the legs passes(own and others), blind over the shoulder pass, dump offs/assists, no look passes, 1 v 1 moves on offense, and even the shot style.
Intelligent BBall. Amazing to watch. Few players would handle old school games J just has IT and he would fit right in. Kind of reminds me of a "silent" Bird. It would be cool to see McClung go there.
We have had several game changers so far ( Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul, Shaq, LeBron...) and we can say that Jokić is one of them. This guy literally plays from 1 to 5.
@@anklepick9524Jokic defensive numbers this and last two seasons are top 10 in NBA. This narrative that his defense is bad is completely false. Used to be many seasons ago.
Honestly, you can just upload any of his 4th quarter against the Pelicans in close games. If you haven't seen it, its Jokic scoring répertoire - whole Pelicans team on fire vs only Jokic & we always end up losing.
This is the kind of ball I like to watch. Joker rewards his teammates for cutting, for being open. He says it himself, he prefers the assist because two teammates are happy plus his accuracy on passing is amazing although they better have good eyesight, strong hands and have an awareness of how and where Joker will pass! Actually watching Joker and looking at his stats give me an appreciation of what Lebron has accomplished?
I'm so jealous of people in Denver. This guy hates missing games and plays hard with special moments like this every night. You're always going to get your money's worth.
People talk up the threes and the passing, but the spin cycle moves in the post...Jokic is so dynamic. He's rapidly climbing the all-time Center ranks.
THIS MILLENNIAL generation of basketball players are doing things I've NEVER SEEN BEFORE! And boy are they are GOOD AT IT! What a pleasure to watch how SKILLFUL and SHREWD they are at handling that ball. They are SEVERAL NOTCHES ABOVE the players of just 20 years ago. WOW!
I would like to make the joke, "If Kevin McHale and Larry Bird gave birth," or schwantz-ride one era over another . . . instead, I think I'll just be grateful to have lived long enough to have seen both of them in one lifetime. #goatofURchoice
@@BoyOnBike4 You're 100% right. I've never seen a game; never played it; etc cause I was born yesterday. I didn't live through 80s and 90s basketball at all. No Swiss cheese defense here. This is the absolute peak era of basketball, right? Another effing Mama's basement basketball expert commenting on my post. Man, sports video comments are the worst and here's example #10 million.
The level of awareness necessary for Jokic team mates is off the charts, the ball can come to them at any minute from any angle, virtually unpredictable, you have to play with a 6th sense awareness.

What a remarkable player. He has such beautiful control of himself and the environment around him. He is a joy to watch.
This is how most kids in Serbia play basketball. They see it as a game rather than a job or an athletic competition. And sport is a game, right?
A new different generation than Michael Jordan's
and Shaq! These guys are busting-out with moves
I've never seen ANYBODY do before; not Michael Jordan, not Shaq,
not Kobe!
Every generation brings new life to the game.
The fact that he passes alot, says alot about him and his class. Respect well done
He is the most efficient player ever
assists are selfish IMO.
Assists are more fun to watch than scoring.
Preach brotha

He's got McHale's footwork with Bird's passing/awareness. He's too good.
Let's not get confused by his size,
he's one of the finest artists the game has ever had
I have never seen a player with such an impact on the game since I have been watching basketball since 1995.

This man is unbelievable. Like from another planet. A truly 🐐
No from another planet dude, Nikola made in Serbia ...this is serbian basketball old school ...😊❤
Currently, the best player in the game. Period. #respect
Curry should become his sidekick like he became KD’s sidekick
I agree 💯 %
I absolutely love the way he allows his teammates to shine as well.
The best for you and your family!
Can you imagine how long this compilation is gonna be when he retires
Hahahah gonna be a 4 seasons series for sure
22-23 season assist highlihts is 1h 15m...
Anyone who says Jokic is boring to watch… is a casual simpleton.
Fr, I'm a casual basketball fan and I like watching him.
Boring? He's a user manual of Basket
@@dementedme5132 but you're not a casual simpleton lol
who says that? sounds fake. watching him play literally makes me laugh out of amazement.
@@chir0pter a lot of those fans that think dunks are everything
Best/most consistent player in the league, give him his due
the highest ball IQ ever
...with Larry Bird together!
Lebron
Jokic is the closest thing I have seen to Magic Johnson without fear of being wrong
Truly breathtaking what he is able to do.
Smart hoops!! Love watching the way these guys read each other on the court. Joker all but guarantees a score on each return of it gets to his hands because he knows where to put it. Jokic and Murray read other SOOO well!!
Genius, magician, serious issue with IQ, This guy makes this game fun
Best all around player in the NBA.
Human creativity at its finest!
Ti si majstore Jokič,najjači i najbolji!!

The best Center we've ever seen. I don't think it's remotely even close
Wilt Chamberlain
If Larry Bird was 7' tall and 290 pounds, he's Nikola Jokic.
Actually MVP of the league without discussion
His teammates know to expect the pass.
i think mpj talked about it. when you join denver, you learn it really fast after you get hit with the ball in training

That was so fun to watch!
Jokic highlights from 3-4games is better than 90% players CAREER highlights! I think that said it all
That's a big reach
Playing basketball intelligently and with ease and fun ❤❤❤
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
I’m proud to say I saw his greatness well before the basketball pundits did. Now he is getting his due from them.
Oh I'm sure you did, what an eye for talent you have. Give yourself a pat on the back
Combo of mchale on the post, magic with his passes, and big country with his shooting lol
Jokic is the best 🐐
We have had several game changers so far ( Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul, Shaq, LeBron...) and we can say that Jokić is one of them. This guy literally plays from 1 to 5.
LeBron a game changer ? Not sure, i'd rather pick MJ, then Curry. These guys changed the game.
@@jonathankoskas5199 Lebron is a game changer cos he can cover all positions.
@@MrKilekico true, but he didn't revolutionize any of these positions by his playing style. As opposed to the Shaq's, MJ's, Curry's of this world ...
I don't know. Jokic doesn't have the defense.
And remove Shaq and put Hakeem in there.
@@anklepick9524Jokic defensive numbers this and last two seasons are top 10 in NBA. This narrative that his defense is bad is completely false. Used to be many seasons ago.
Much like watching Larry L in the 80s.
QUADRUPLE teamed at 3.08+ & STILL gets the shot off....DAMN!! 🤩🤩
He's really mastered the spin cycle
he can twirl on that pivot foot for days, he'll do 18 spins in a row if he needs to but he'll still get either an assist or 2 points after that.
He has a quality of passing like magic
Jokic = Arvydas Sabonis + Tim Duncan
Best basketball player I've seen since Bird.
C'mon bruh
Agreed
I feel like you might be forgetting a few guys lol
Same here...
@@PreacherJenkins Who has played that high level of basketball since Bird?

Jokic is a Terror to other teams. A true Nightmare for them.
When I see the nuggets are playing, right away I think of this guy!
So much talent

My fave play is when he knocked that guy into the stretcher after the cheap shot. Man can pass and be fearless same time. Amazing
Serbian heart, Serbian brain, Serbian attitude, Serbian simplicity..., Serbian way ...simple as that !!
Bravoooo Nikola, hats off !!
😊💛✌️
I'm so jealous of people in Denver. This guy hates missing games and plays hard with special moments like this every night. You're always going to get your money's worth.
Magic player!!😮😮
Ι think Jokic is the best player in NBA now , better than anyone!
I really haven't seen him play.
But wow I had no idea he was this good.
3:11 made that announcer giggle like he was back in his school days
what a man👏👏👏
People talk up the threes and the passing, but the spin cycle moves in the post...Jokic is so dynamic. He's rapidly climbing the all-time Center ranks.
a brilliant Playmaker of 2.11 m.
I really don't care for basketball...
But this was highly entertaining.
Nikola Jokic is hel of player , like MJ was
He has beat his records few days ago, so it is public secret that Joker is better even than the FlyingMike
Jokic is just something else.
THIS MILLENNIAL generation of basketball players are doing things
I've NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
And boy are they are GOOD AT IT!
What a pleasure to watch how SKILLFUL and SHREWD they are
at handling that ball.
They are SEVERAL NOTCHES ABOVE the players of just 20 years ago.
WOW!
Jokic is too good. I hope they win this year.
His passes are SO Good that you almost have to give credit to his teammates for being able to recieve them
I see so much of Larry Bird in his plays
Absolute sensation
some of his passes are football (soccer for US) passes, but of the absolutely top quality kind of the football passes
Jokic really reminds me of Larry bird
This man is special
His low post moves remind me of Kevin McHale.
all time top 10 caliber
He will end up be in top 10 best player of all time ahead of LeBron
Ahead of Kobe for sure, may be he will catch up Lebron@@NorNor-bb6dn
Only one other player had this high of an Basketball IQ. Yes him!
Nije ovo košarka, ovo je magija! Naš neverovatni NIKOLA!
Lol, 1:32 when you’re this good, they dont even call traveling anymore
Those pirouettes look a bit like travelling to me
El mejor equipo de la NBA. GUSTA
he is serving his team free points with these passes.
Lepi nas Nidzo,srecna sam sto postojim u ovom vremenu
I would like to make the joke, "If Kevin McHale and Larry Bird gave birth," or schwantz-ride one era over another . . . instead, I think I'll just be grateful to have lived long enough to have seen both of them in one lifetime.
#goatofURchoice
A big man who plays like a guard. Reminds me of Bird and Magic
And at the end it's always KCP for the finish !!
Title should’ve been the goat making goat plays 🐐
Totally out of head. Best player in the history of the game
absolute king
When he is close to the basket he is so polite to the ball, placing it into the basket gently so as not to hurt it
I’d have to say He’s better than Bird but Bird would have been even better in today’s game, so really hard to say.
finally get to see sabonis in his prime
I had never really seen him play and I am glad I watched this video. "ugly" greatness.
1:22 I love how the defender #3 just stood there despite having a clear shot at a move to stop the dunk. Modern defense-gotta love it.
I think he was taking the charge to get an offensive foul on Jokic.
Bro trying to criticize basketball when he doesn't even know what taking a charge is 😂

Stephen Adams bolted to the floor XD
He is the real joker that he humiliates his rivals, plays crazy, dirty and unpredictable
Great players cause rampage.
The greatest players cause smile.
He is easily the best player currently no debate. He’s got eyes in the back of his head and plays better than most point guards
One of the best players ever!
