His mom taught him well. Never seen a main guy of a team be so calm when winning it all. Respect Jokic; 1 of many to come.
Kawhi, Durant, and Kobe were all pretty calm tbf...
@@Zantar16 I remember the KD one, easy to be calm when you know your going to win.
Just a dignified and magnificent star-- made the whole basketball world proud these last few years.
In Serbia you don't learn that from your mother. Brothers are there to keep you humble. 😅❤
@@Sale85nswas about to say it’s a Eastern European thing
Unlike any other player ever, my man, after winning his 1st ring and finals MVP, doesn't push to the front row to be the centerfold in the poster, he hangs out in the back with his daughter, lets his team hug the trophy and celebrate, while he hugs his family. The man who understands not only what's important on court, but also in life.
The one and only, true MVP!
Media is in war with family globaly, that is why they hate him. They are probably jealous.
Reminds me alot of Tim Duncan
This guy is many years ahead of his time. Very mature person
@@dmproperties3677 he's 28 years old not 21 lol
Well said!
Nikola Jokic...not the hero we deserve but the hero we need. NBA is in safe hands.
❤
Legend.
Nba is on the hand's of ref fixing unfortunately, they are gonna do what they can to stop a humble star from winning the title and giving it away to players who didnt work hard enough to deserve it.
@@schlhq true 100%
The NBA needs more superstars like him. Stars that care more about winning than actual stats or awards.
hard to care about winning when there is no real losing, no relegation and no actual downside to losing.
Look at the European stars in the NBA like Jokic and Giannis. Extremely humble
I think let people be them
@@williamg7138 giannis literally is a stat padder he blatantly does it ,
Speaking of that...I wonder how Lebron can make this Championship about him
The way he made sure to answer Steve Smith’s question. Dude is so real.
Go ask Stephen A. if Giannis is real too. He'll give credit and love to everyone else but Giannis.
Nikola Jokic at age 28:
- NBA champion
- Finals MVP
- WCF Finals MVP
- 5x All-NBA
- 5x All-Star
- 2x MVP
should be 3x MVP though
-3x Horse Racing Champ
Good start.....he got screwed this year with the MVP but one of the first 2 MVPs should've been CP3s so it worked out.....Love the big fella glad he won
monster
@@scottgollahon3681 not ,,got screwd"...the words you are looking for is ,,ripped off"....monster had almost tripble double season (he is a center, thats ridiculous
When he saw the video of his daughter, that’s the reaction you would want from a father. Great guy
You just can’t dislike this guy. Legend in the making
“You gotta lose to know what winning about “ “it’s a team effort “ is why Jokics & nuggets won that’s tough respect 💯
― Wangari Maathai (1940-2011)
“Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it.”
What a humble guy. Great example.
No doubt
Yep
Its so rare to like an nba player. I enjoy this dude.
As a Mavs fan Jokic selfishness, sacrifice and loyalty reminds me so much of Dirk It feels like dejavu when we won the 2011 champion. Congrats Nuggets fans yall deserve and us Dallas fans are celebrating with you🥳🥳🥳
I think you meant selflessness
European players tend to be humble, or atleast more humble.
Yes we are we just need to build around Luka
You guys don't need Kyrie, you need a PG who is a great defender next to Luka like Marcus Smart. And another Big who can do both ends like Domas or Vucevic. You'll go deep in the playoffs that way.
Dude's so focused. He and the Nugs are prob gonna be favorites next year
Anyone who doesn't is just a straight up hater.
you best believe espn, fox and the rest of them will put Lakers, Suns, Celtics and even the sixers ahead of them they might barely make the top ten to win it all according them you might even hear even worst takes than that trust and believe they will. Might also hear rumors about potential moves for a certain player and how it changes the balance of power in the nba all of that before you hear nuggets are favored next season
I like the Nuggets! I'm happy for Jokic. But as a Warriors fan, I think they're going to make another run. The west is going to be tough overall. But who knows?
Well ya
@@christopherpaul7588 This Healthy Nuggets team would've beat The Warriors last year.
Dude has been the best player on the planet for last 3 seasons. No debate.
not even close. Enjoy the win without the hyperbole.
@@antiwesternvalues yes, its true. He’s better than your favorite player. There is no debate, Jokic is number 1
@AfricaRevenge you are wrong, Wakandian
@@antiwesternvalues Not even close? Lmao. Ok. Who you got?
@@antiwesternvalues stop leDick riding pls ... just stop
What a month for Serbia! Djokovic becomes the all time grand slam winner and Jokic brings home an NBA championship! Very nice when it isn't always the same teams winning the NBA championship.
Yup, indeed! 😊 If I may add, Serbia just defended its title in the FIBA 3x3 World Cup Men's tournament. Very proud of our countryman! Congrats to the Nuggets nation. It has been a season to remember.
Congrats on the Tennis champ DJok and now Joker!! Honorable young gentleman that are out here representing Serbia!! 🇺🇸🤝🇷🇸 Sports is a universal language everyone understands!!
Thank you. Like Joker said, it's a great time to be a Serbian. We are so proud of them both!
“Not bad” - jokic
Nikola you just put up a record breaking performance, winning Denvers first championship, and securing NBA finals MVP. How does that make you feel?
"Honestly, not much."
Doing an interview in your 2nd or 3rd language while drunk ain’t easy 😂😂😂
-Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Some of us English speaking Americans are reluctant to learn additional languages of our own species, let alone another species. But imagine the possibilities. Imagine the access we would have to different perspectives, the things we might see through other eyes, the wisdom that surrounds us. We don’t have to figure out everything by ourselves: there are intelligences other than our own, teachers all around us. Imagine how much less lonely the world would be.”
English isn't that difficult to speak, but the spelling is tough.
@@gumdeoits hard because u need to think before u speak
@@gumdeo Actually it is for foreigners!! Like someone said you need to think what you are going to say in your native language and then to say it in English
From being the last guy picked in the all star game and 2nd round pick. Now, he's the champion.
Mad respect!
Taco bell😂
I mean, he's not built for the all-star game now adays. He's not going to play for the globe trotters which is basically what the all-star game is lol
to be fair, he doesn't even try in all star games lol
He is basically and literally shitting on whole rest of NBA and everybody is jelous and whant to die because he is the best!
And the clear best player in the game.
People celebrate when winning like all other players, while Jokic just hug the opposing team like regular playoff game win...people usually react like Jamal Murray...he just so clam....hehe
We are all different in showing emotions.
I’m 47 and been a fan most of my life. I have two children named after former Nuggets,oldest son McDyess & my daughter Nenae (we spelled it different) so the history is there. Glad I finally got to see this moment! If I could have one more he’d be a Jokic! Great player but a better person and so nice to see in today’s world. The core is there to get a few more.
Jokic almost got surprised and happy when he initially thought he was one of two players in history with 2 reg season MVPs and 1 Finals MVP...when he found out he is one of 10 players..he didn't seem to care LOL. Super happy for Jokic that he got a chip! He earned this championship for sure and the FMVP!
He is a great player. But he is an even better man
The guy’s changing the game and the most humble cat in the locker room. League needs more stars like Jokic and ESPN needs to talk about the best players and teams more often than the buzzworthy divas.
You can tell real vets like Isaiah and grant respect the hell out of joker. He’s one of a kind, one it like a true professional. He’s a legend in the making
Jokic deserves the MVP
Real MVP of NBA in 2023....
What a year for Serbia 🇷🇸
Joker and DJOKER
Pure Class
Some younger guys in the league (and life in general) can learn a lot from him and his mannerisms. Adam Silver should make him the face of the NBA unlike some others
He reminds me a lot of Tom Brady and how he talks about the game. It’s not about him, it’s about everyone else, getting them involved, and doing whatever it takes to win. Some games, it might be Murray. Others it might be Porter or Gordon. Some games he does have to take over. But if he scores 10 points and 20 assists and they win, then he’s done his job. Just like Brady spreading it around. Some days it was Edelman, others it was Gronk. Some games it was a walk-on receiver. Some games he had to pass it 50 times for 400 yards. And some games they had to run the ball. Didn’t matter. Just win. Who cares how.
Tom is fake humble and loves the spotlight, nothing like Joker
Brady is an arrogant a-hole and his refusal to shake hands after a Super Bowl loss says a lot.
I dont want to hear anyone from the state of Colorado complain about anything for the rest of my life. Broncos won superbowl in 2016. Avalanche won Stanley Cup last year. And now the Nuggets in 2023. In 7 years the state has won 3 major championships. Zero to cry about for the rest of your life if you are from Colorado.
“I gotta end this tonight, I got a horse race on Saturday” …
Men been grinding their whole life just to have a chance to win a chip and this man casually wins an nba finals with no flexing or showboating.
There's nothing wrong with flexing/showboating, but I think a lot of players and just people in general could learn from Jokic. The man has complete control over his emotions and never forgets that basketball is a team sport. And he did this all without any freak athleticism. Incredible.
Jokic really put that guy on notice 🤣🤣Let me borrow the team plane so I can catch my horse racing event or I won't attend the parade... 🤣🤣
So talented, so well rounded, so humble. Extremely rare and special dude.
“ I put him under the pressure.. yes I did” 😂
1st player in NBA history to lead all players in points, rebounds and assists in a single postseason
I am a Bulls homer and MJ is the GOAT BUT Jokic has a special place in my pantheon because he demonstrated something fundamental about the game:
only high-level skills + IQ take you places, even if you are not the best athlete, that's what Jokic and MJ have in common.
I wish Jokic more successful playoff runs in the future because watching him play is truly fun.
I kinda knew he wasn’t gonna lose it when they won. To dap up the entirety of Miami first thing without even a fist-pump shows the humility of this class act.
Kendrick Perkins punching the air right now
🤫the less we mention that man, the better. 🤫
2️⃣8️⃣. MJ also won his first at 28 and both Shaq and LeBron at 27 if I'm not mistaken? Who else thinks that Jokić, Murray, and this group maybe...just maybe...have Repeats written all over them?
Ima be real I think they could definitely get another. Maybe even 3. In a row? Maybe . . Maybe not. They definitely have the team to get more.
imagine this roster with 2 more great players....dinasty
Certainly does seem so. Nothing really had to go their way in any series in order to win, they were pretty much just naturally better. Every loss they had this playoffs took some heroic effort from the other team (booker shooting 80% for 50 and 40pts, and heat shooting 90% in the 4th quarter). Every other game was a Nuggets win, and it's tough ask to have 4 heroic games in a series. But that's what it would take to beat this team.
Last year Jokic would have won if he had a team
Sad part is in todays NBA like 3 super stars will all team up to try to beat him, will be unfair like the 17,18 Warriors hope it doesn't happen
Nice to have someone in the league children can actually look up to. With him and Gianis the league still has a chance it was VERY iffy for a while!!!!
He's like "Job done. Let's go racing, Yayyyy!"
He is so lovable, worthy of respect and best to emulate. Congrats to him and the rest of the Nuggets for this win.
Respect the fundamentals. This team played for each other and played the game the right way. Congrats Denver.😊🤙
Hoopers know it would be a dream to have someone like Joker as your teammate. This team can really go back to back if healthy
On the Gilbert Arenas podcast a few days ago they asked who would you want to play with in todays nba and Gil said he wouldve loved to play with Jokic. The man is a shooters dream pairing lol the amount of open looks Jokic can get guys is crazy.
we are now entering the era of jokic. savor this because this is special
the era of the white basketball superstar. Luka and jokic leading the way with more to follow
@@bigkahuna3534 he ain’t white you clown
Humblest superstar
I think that Isaah Thomas speaks about Jokić in the best possible way. It best describes his amazing qualities and defines why he is one of the best ever.
How can you not like this guy! 😂😂😂
Something tells me we have only seen the beginning. I can tell he has much higher standards for his own performance and it’s easy to see he can still improve to meet them.
Humble man…. Great player!!! Truly enjoyed watching the nuggets grind and win.
6:35 “I put him under the pressure. Yes I did. I don’t feel bad at all.”
As a Nuggets fan I love seeing Jok being this giddy like a kid. He’s hilarious cause he’s so honest with English as his second language 😂
Jokic looks much more relaxed around any TNT crew than with ESPN.
He just wants to get to his horses 😂😂 what a legend
Who Perk talks crap about wins the chip.
He fumin rn after a white euro wins that chip and finals mvp
@@heatgrimm8664 while his boy crybaby Embid throws his teammates under the bus
Great game and great win by an all-time great player.
Seeing a lot of comments about Jokic not being emotional enough considering he just won. I'm not sure you guys understand the Balkan culture. I'm from Bulgaria which is right next to Serbia and people in this region just don't cry. Ever :D
Best player I’ve ever seen
Cap 1 chip now hes the best ever get off his meat 😂
Best center
Certified Legend
It’s such a shame that ppl even put Joel embid and jokic in the same sentence I never wanna hear that ever again after td.
Congrats Joker..!!! and the Denver Nuggets... great journey, great Person..
This man don’t give a damn about a parade !! He got horses to race back in Serbia 😂😂😂
Jokic's style of playing has a background you might be surprised to uncover! We have to trace it all the way back to the 1952 when Harlem Globetrotters played an exhibition game in Yugoslavia. Americans' style of playing had captured the imagination of youth in Yugoslavia that changed the game - from the rigid Soviet style of basketball to creative free-flowing and attractive "American style" - that still stands today!
Oh wow that's interesting 🏀🙂👍🏾
I feel like he could go on to be a commentator after his career. He really understands the game on every level and communicates concisely and effectively. Congrats to the humble champ.
Congrats to Nikola and the Denver Nuggets 🏆👏🏀🔥
Kinda makes me smile ear to ear to see people in his country up late cheering him on, he’s there superhero
Pure class.
Don't get down on a Loss
Don't get high on a Win
Denver Nuggets ❤️❤️❤️, coach Malone the best! NIKOLA JOKIĆ SERBIAN PRIDE!Is so good to be Serbian these days ,first Novak Djokovic Joker become Tenis GOAT ,now NIKOLA JOKIĆ Joker,lead his tim to FIRST TIME NBA CHAMPION TITLE, unbelievable movie making story, SERBnation DOMINATION. Kosovo is Heart of Serbia,STOP ethnically cleanings of serbian Kosovo! Always Serbs Never Slaves!
Jokic MVP!!! Such an amazing and humble superstar
Jokic interviews are always entertaining yet he's always calm. So humble.
We can all learn from his humbleness.
The new fave of the nba. Greatest player in the world
❤ What he actually wanted to say, how our parents bring us up, cannot be literally translated, I don't think there are any corresponding synonyms for it in English.
Perhaps the most accurate would be-
"In victory do not be the master (hegemon), in defeat do not be the servant"
I haven't watched the NBA since Jordan. From Lebron's early interviews as an 18 year old I thought he'd get me back into it, but he seemed to change at some point. This guy is gonna get me back into it!
I hope we get to see Nuggets v Warriors in the playoffs next year
I love this brother...well deserved...and I was wrong he is thee best player in the world;)
More endorsements should be coming his way.
What a class act , My Grandmother didn't know English that weill like the Joker but they're great people with big hearts, I was rooting for the Heat but the Better team won, noice
Original Guy... He just so humble
And people say the nuggets don’t have fans
The superstar that when he retires we wont hear anything about him afterwards. Just racing his horses and living life ❤
God bless this guy man. What a guy!
Un talento increíble. Enhorabuena al mejor jugador del mundo.
made me smile, so genuine wow
What an amazing interview
Congrats to the Nuggets on winning the NBA championship for the first time ever. You guys waited over 40 decades to get to this moment and as an avid Lakers fan here I'm so happy for you guys. Congrats to the Joker on not winning the Finals MVP but also winning the title too. Could've been more happier for you on achieving this goal.
An MVP every aspiring player should try to follow. Not only the way he plays but more importantly how he CARRIE's himself. He never calls attention to himself, never puts down opposing players. Unlike other superstars who can't stop talking about themselves. Have you noticed most superstars right after winning the championship would jump up and down and go stand on the scorers table to get applauded by the crowd? Most players are really hungry to attention. Jokic not only a great player but a very humble and down to earth person. He even showed how important his family is to him during the interviews by wanting to just go home and be with his family. A true MVP.
Momma. There goes that man ! Legendary!
Joker is a legend
So happy for Joker. Give him his due respect.
The guy is best center and and the same time best playmaker.
wouldve loved to see the tnt crew talking to him instead
2nd round draft pick to a nba star finals mvp two time league mvp speaks volumes that he's a top 5 player
Love u man
Dudes b-ball iq is On par with lebrons.
Special player.. I didn't really even notice him until he won his first mvp dude different
He's now the best European NBA player of all time.
Giannis is still there. Not saying he's not better, but it's still a discussion
His humility is second to none
Honestly, he's gotta be the most underappreciated finals MVP ever
I’m from Tanzania, been here 20 hrs and I remember well what time it’s back the motherland and my man joker doesn’t remember time back home lol
Just love the even mindedness. It is really important.
