@@quentinzimmerlee7193 Uh no, the Denver one is more impressive just by the fact that two records were broken: the first 30pt triple double ever in the Finals and the first time two players have ever gotten a triple double in the Finals in the same game. That is far more impressive than what Lebron did.
@@brandonmoskos9149honestly you might be right. They said he had swelling in his hand and that’s not gonna go away in a week especially on a physical finals series
I actually like the Skip gave props to Christian Braun. That dude plays super hard, and very fast. He, as a rookie, was affecting an NBA finals game. What? He was popping off the screen for how hard he was playing. He kept up with Duncan Robinsons speed and at least made stuff harder on him. Joker is the best player in the league. They don't just have one superstar though, Jamal Murray is a superstar himself. Incredible. No one does it alone. Amazing series. This one was the least close, but still fun to watch. I've never seen a big man play such unselfish and complimentary team basketball while piling up so many statistics just by making necessary plays. If I was a coach, Jokic would be the perfect offensive player to have.
Jokic is the best passer in the world, arguably the best rebounder in the world, and what is underrated about him is he has the greatest TOUCH in the world. Everytime he puts up a floater in the paint and that ball hits the rim, it’s going in. It’s unbelievable. It almost sits on the rim and rolls in with gravity. I’ve never seen touch like that 😮
I agree, but did you see Murray's bank off the glass to avoid Bam's block? That was one of the best bank shots I've ever seen. Those two are amazing together, like Stockton and Malone.
Butlers whole career is unbelievable! When he was coming off the bench in Chicago he looked like a budding star then went full jimmy buckets mode when he ran the floor with the bench in Minnesota but never did i think id see him on national tv singing to a hootie and the blowfish song for a Michelob Ultra commerical!
I’m having trouble knowing where to rank Jokic in my top all time list. He can legitimately do things that have never been done at the center position. Absolutely amazing.
Makes more sense to rank players after they retire, it's not fair that we compare an active player in his prime to retired players with careers of 15-20 seasons.

That’s funny when Jokic won back to back MVPs Skip still said Jokic wasn’t the best but Embiid can cry his way to ONE and he’s the best because that award?lmao 😂
This has 2014 Finals written all over it. Miami scrapped their way to a win in G2 on the road (again) but I don't think they're winning another one. Denver is just so much better
Literally. Denver is not on that Level but their unselfish play chemistry the silent and modest superstar like Jokić who is fundamentaly sound and quiet like Duncan was. It looks like that finals.
This segment is why I love watching/listening to Skip Bayless. He can break down a game really well. I just have an issue with him when he starts talking about players and what happens off the court.
Jokic keeps it simple. Theres nothing overly complicated about Denvers motion offense, but everyone is constantly cutting and screening & they limit isos and other bad brands of basketball. College basketball was played exactly like this by Duke & Indiana back in their glory days in the 80s & 90s. Nobody stands around doing nothing for longer than a couple seconds.
The best team won that day. Doesn't mean they are a better team overall. Give credit to the Heat they won a tough game on the road nobody thought they had a chance.
@@user-rr3fo6hy9q Only took a missed goaltend, a missed OOB Jimmy assist to a 3 and like 5 questionable Out of Bounds Possessions. Refs can't win you all 4.
Jokic has two shots, his regular shot that comes off the fingertips on J's and 3s, and then there is his soft paint touch shot which he shoots with his thumb and pointer finger straddling the ball. For that shot, the center of release is the area between his thumb and pointer which allows him to shoot it from any angle (hook shots, floaters). A normal shot you have to lineup your arm's release to the basket but with that paint shot he can literally shoot from any angle by flicking his wrist. Crazy.
The last I heard about the game last night, Jamal was one rebound short of the triple-double. I didn't know that he got it, that's what's up. Like Shannon said, that's crazy. Two players. 30-point trip, in the same game. 💪🤙💯
I extremely disagree with Shannon, I think the Nuggets can play even better than they did last night! They had careless turnovers, several lapses on the defensive end and MPJ went 1/7 again that isn't helping. So they have 1 more level to go up to! Thats scary for the Heat or any team..
these guys bring out the best in one another, gonna miss this duo. hard to believe they're breaking up with such awesome banter. they seem to be on good terms which is nice.
If the Nuggets can stop Heats from consistently finding good looks on the 3, then there's absolutely nothing they can do. They rely so heavily on that 3 to just keep them in these games, nevermind win...
When I first saw this I was like come on man that's ridiculous. Then I looked up his Playoff stats for this year - 30/14/10. Yeah okay you're right lol....
the only reason the heat won game 2 was a blistering 4th quarter shooting. if they are shooting that well everytime against the nuggets, it’s a very little chance they can win games. you will always get an amazing performance from jokic & if jamal murry sees 2-3 shots go down the net, he’s practically unguardable. nuggets in 7
@@willzsportscardsi wouldn’t be surprised if it ends in 5, the heat have to play damn near perfect basketball to combat the nuggets & that’s very improbable. however, i truthfully have alot of respect for the heat, i genuinely think they can put up a fight for the nuggets.
It is a shame NBA media has only now learned to appreciate Jokic. I'm sure if he was American, trendy etc would be different situation. We should be thankful for nuggets who represent good old ball game. That's how most of us grew up to love the game. Lots of respect.
Respect isn't given it's earned. Now that he's performed well on the big stage he'll get his due. I don't care how many league MVP's you win to me you're not a great basketball player until you prove it on the biggest stage, the NBA Finals. Doesn't mean you have to win a chip, just show us you can handle the bright lights. Jokic is doing that, so I give him his respect, he earned it.
It's funny how people always think it's three's and superstars that win chips. Turns out it's actually stuff like fewer turnovers, rebounds, coaching strategy, and defense. All the "boring" stuff lol.
While I am not a fan of either team, it would be nice for Denver, the team with the best regular season record, to win the championship. Sure will miss this pair; best of good fortune to both. Hope Shannon doesn’t regret this move.
I'm sure that even Jokic won't be able to pull of what he's doing to the game again. Legendary run. Simply legendary. This is once in a lifetime shisshh we are witnessing.
I always feel for guys who have ACL injury because I had it and your knee is never quite the same. So it's great to see how Klay and Jamal look better than ever. Joe Burrow too.
Sorry buddy sorry Charlie can't give credit to a team that hasn't done anything they haven't even won a championship ,so pump your brakes because you're the type of person that would criticize someone that has four rings and give credit to somebody that has no rings your brainwashed. Sorry no credit given here. You got to earn it no welfare allowed got it?
The guy looks slow and out of shape. Yet he's got his own unique rhythm, moves, shotmaking artistry and strength. He's the best passer of the game. Whoever thinks that Jokic would've been manhandled in the 90's or before is wrong. Great players always adapt and they also change the game. What really sets him apart from other big men is his exceptional passing ability and efficiency as a shooter. Most big men struggled to make free throws. He's not a Hakeem level defender (who is?) but grabbing 20+ boards and bothering opponents physically works just fine. Best player in all basketball. By a distance.
I didn't like Joker when he was first getting all the hype (I thought he was another slow, unathletic, white, European player). But as it stands right now, I see Jokic as the player who can single handedly save basketball by bringing back respect to the pivot position. He is doing a great justice to the game, and bringing back respect to the big man position. I wish him well and hopefully Denver wins this final. 💯💯👑👑🏀🏀
Game 4 will be the decisive game of the series for both teams. Heat will def come out with urgency, as they always do when they’re behind. Hopefully Malone will fire up his squad to match the energy
Top Centers to ever play in the NBA: mostly all black and american: can we give this man Jokic some love. He may be the best non black/ non american center. Jokic is helping to break down barriers. Especially for not being athletic. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. I love what he is doing for the game.
Jamal and Nikola understand the space that happens for each other and where to move the ball. I think they will be friends for life if they chip. Because no reason they can't repeat.
I feel like people ain't giving the 3-8 of the nuggets enough. Jokic and Murray were lighting it up in the bubble as well, but ultimately their depth could not match the Lakers. But players like Gordon, KCP, Braun, such a huge difference. They all do their job most games, and for the games where someone aint doing their job, they have enough of these quality role players that they can fill the space
That's just your average fan that doesn't watch a lot games or pay attention. They wouldn't want KCP or Aaron Gordon on their team because they don't average 20 ppg.
They have so much great chemistry .. I wish they weren’t breaking up, it certainly doesn’t seem like there on a rocky road.. I hope Shannon didn’t listen to the comments and outside voices to make his decision to want out… either way I hope they both have great careers after this… and I hope whoever replaces Shannon can make this show go.. because shady is not it!!!!! And nick wright is great on FTF so please don’t take him away from brou and wildes! Find an outside player .. or even rob Parker would be great on this show, jus sayin
@@thenoseknows9391 Actually skip will still be undisputed and you will still be watching just to hate on him😂😂😂 skip is a clown and you are a sad pathetic shannon fanboy😁😁😁
Look..I knew Jokic was going to be a handful for the Lakers and we didn't have anyone that could guard him. Actually, AD did as good as anyone in the league. That being said, we are witnessing maybe the greatest center to ever play the game period. He is so efficient and does it so effortlessly. I've never seen a big man with the abilities of a point guard and the court vision of the great Earvin (Magic) Johnson! I am a Laker fan, so it's hard for me to swallow, when I write this here. Hats off to you Jokic ( the Joker), We are seeing history in the making! By the way who gave you that nickname anyway.. 😂
@@azonnoza you can’t say Murray is great and Bam is not, they arguably have the same importance on their respective teams. Heat are at their best when Butler and Bam play great. Same with Jokic and Murray on the nuggets
Jokic 2023 Playoffs EASILY 1 of GOAT! #1 in ALL Playoffs in POINTS ASSISTS REBOUNDS (1st player EVER to have most POINTS ASSISTS REBOUNDS in single playoff! Wilt Russell Kareem Moses Bird Hakeem Shaq Duncan LeBron 5x the only others to lead in 2 of 3!) WIN SHARES PER BPM WS/48 Last 3 years in what easily could of been 3 straight MVPs he AVERAGED 26, 12, 9, 2stocks on insane 59/37/83, best analytics by far, best on/off by far! He’s undoubtedly Top5-25 somewhere in terms of what he’s done from 20-28 years old from an individual accomplishment stand point, statistically, playoff riser, analytically, all around game. It’s a TEAM game boys that’s why Jokic only had 1 WCF before 28 years old. He was still an awesome 26, 12, 6, 2stocks 52/40/82 in nearly 50 playoff games. Murray been hurt last 2 playoffs as was MPJ last year. They had no bench. Even this series they still could lose if KCP MPJ continue to shoot 20% from 3 instead of their normal 40% (they’re 5-26 so far from 3 or they’re up 3-0 if they are their normal 10-26 to 12-26 selfs!). MJ first 6 Playoffs was 24-29 in playoff games and never made a finals also. Was 0-5 vs Celtics Pistons even though he was mostly elite in playoffs. TEAMS win titles not individual players! If KCP MJP were their normal 10-26 to 12-26 from 3 selfs in Finals instead of horrid 5-26 Nuggets up 3-0 right now! Clown Skip trying to minimize how ILLmatic Jokic is. “He was pretty good in first half” 14, 12, 7 at half is not pretty good it’s GREAT! Any half that you double that gives you 28 24 14 is an awesome half. Playoff Murray is great as well! Their one of the illest duos ever!
Jokic is the most formidable and relentless attacker in the NBA right now! The man just keeps coming!! Plain talk, the man is unstoppable and he has a real team behind him as well
Less than a year ago, people were arguing if Jokic would be a future hall of famer. And I argued what 2 time MVP isn't the hall of fame? And now everyone is saying he's an all-time great. It's crazy.🙄
MVP is a regular season award. What you do in the Playoffs and the Finals is what matters most, we don't crown anyone prematurely. If he won two league MVP's then got injured and couldn't play anymore would he be in the HOF? I don't think so but it's a good debate.
@Udanoob yes he would be. There are players who are in the hall of fame with no accolades to their name like Tracy McGrady. Hesitant known as one of the greatest players of his generation and never made it out of the 1st round of the playoffs. So Joker would be a hall of famer as well. And he's proven to be more than just that by those standards and people still questioned his greatness.
I saw the highlights on Christian Brown and he looks pretty talented to me. Not sure where that comment from Skip about his talent came from especially with all the good things they pointed about about his play.
Skip!!!!!! Shannon!!!!! When you guys are friendly......it's the best sports show out there. I blame Skip for being 10% past acceptable on many occasions. Now he's reeled it back and the show is GREAT AGAIN. YOU GUYS GO OUT FOR DINNER, DRINK A LOT OF SCOTCH, REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE TOGETHER, THEN ON COME ON BACK WITH A SUBDUED SKIP!!!!!! AND CONTINUE FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
I feel that man it was inevitable that he only finally appreciated Shannon when it was officially over… he took it for granted the last 2-3 years. Such a shame this finals/ playoffs coverage has been amazing content

@William Henseley Miami in 7
I think nuggets will win in 6 tbh Miami can get one more
This segment is why I love watching/listening to Skip Bayless. He can break down a game really well. I just have an issue with him when he starts talking about players and what happens off the court.
Ya he's the best
Jokic keeps it simple. Theres nothing overly complicated about Denvers motion offense, but everyone is constantly cutting and screening & they limit isos and other bad brands of basketball. College basketball was played exactly like this by Duke & Indiana back in their glory days in the 80s & 90s. Nobody stands around doing nothing for longer than a couple seconds.
Murray stayed in to get that last rebound for his triple double with a minute left in the game and I loved it!
Lol ya I like it to 👍
Nuggets have lead for 106 minutes compared to the heat's 38 minutes in this series. Game two was the nugget's lapse, not the heat's success
Clearly so
Game 2 was just the refs extending the series
The best team won that day. Doesn't mean they are a better team overall. Give credit to the Heat they won a tough game on the road nobody thought they had a chance.
@@user-rr3fo6hy9q Only took a missed goaltend, a missed OOB Jimmy assist to a 3 and like 5 questionable Out of Bounds Possessions.
Refs can't win you all 4.
@@davide4725 I agree
Jokic has two shots, his regular shot that comes off the fingertips on J's and 3s, and then there is his soft paint touch shot which he shoots with his thumb and pointer finger straddling the ball. For that shot, the center of release is the area between his thumb and pointer which allows him to shoot it from any angle (hook shots, floaters). A normal shot you have to lineup your arm's release to the basket but with that paint shot he can literally shoot from any angle by flicking his wrist. Crazy.
Golden comment 👍
Also his foot work is very good. He has pump fakes and spins that centers in the 80s era can only do.
What he does with those hands is exactly what Messi has been doing with his legs in the world of soccer. The guys is a beast!
Probably has something to do with his water polo background
@@DrewLight-tq9fk Odd that Messi is going to Miami to retire in a minor American League.
The last I heard about the game last night, Jamal was one rebound short of the triple-double. I didn't know that he got it, that's what's up. Like Shannon said, that's crazy. Two players. 30-point trip, in the same game. 💪🤙💯
He got it 20 seconds left
They didn’t give anything to him, he rebounded the ball Lmao
@@ChekeredFreak lol ikr like jamal didn’t get the rebounds himself
@@ChekeredFreakyou right, I should have reworded it.. I didn't see him get that last rebound, that's what I was saying
Got it on heats last shot
I will miss this duo, man. They still have another 5 years of camaraderie left in them. Such a shame.
Yes, it really felt like this, especially at the end!
It was the perfect duo
I extremely disagree with Shannon, I think the Nuggets can play even better than they did last night! They had careless turnovers, several lapses on the defensive end and MPJ went 1/7 again that isn't helping. So they have 1 more level to go up to! Thats scary for the Heat or any team..
If nuggets play a fully clean game they would win by 30 every game
God knows what happened to MPJ and KCP.
If they both played like this against Suns then Nuggets would have lost right then and there.
Skip being extra nice now that’s Shannon on his way out😂
Foreign players understand basketball. Fundamentals. Make teammates better. And they can actually shoot the ball. It's so enjoyable to watch.
these guys bring out the best in one another, gonna miss this duo. hard to believe they're breaking up with such awesome banter. they seem to be on good terms which is nice.
Indeed, hard to believe!
agreed! I also enjoyed their chemistry. and I love Shannon Sharpe!
If the Nuggets can stop Heats from consistently finding good looks on the 3, then there's absolutely nothing they can do.
They rely so heavily on that 3 to just keep them in these games, nevermind win...
Skip has been in his best behavior since rumors came out that Shannon was leaving the show
“I reserve the right to change my mind” that’s the best Shannon quote I’ve heard in a minute
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
2nd Round #41 Pick. C Nikola Jokic
Is Now A All Time Great!! NOW!! 🏀🥇🏆
If Jokic wasn’t doing what he’s doing, people would be talking about Murray all day. His stats are insane!
Jokic is so great that a 30/20/10 game is just a slightly above average game for him
We may see a 40/20/10 game soon.
When I first saw this I was like come on man that's ridiculous. Then I looked up his Playoff stats for this year - 30/14/10. Yeah okay you're right lol....
The fifth time in NBA History that a player had a 30/20/10 game in the playoffs:
Wilt Chamberlain: 1
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 1
Nikola Jokić: 3
🤯🤯☠️☠️
the only reason the heat won game 2 was a blistering 4th quarter shooting. if they are shooting that well everytime against the nuggets, it’s a very little chance they can win games. you will always get an amazing performance from jokic & if jamal murry sees 2-3 shots go down the net, he’s practically unguardable. nuggets in 7
At worst in 7. If Murray stays hot, it could be 5.
@@willzsportscardsi wouldn’t be surprised if it ends in 5, the heat have to play damn near perfect basketball to combat the nuggets & that’s very improbable. however, i truthfully have alot of respect for the heat, i genuinely think they can put up a fight for the nuggets.
I really hope Shannon changes his mind about leaving skip they're so good together
Nikola Jokic is by far the best player in the NBA today and the second best player isn't even close 😁👍 !
It is a shame NBA media has only now learned to appreciate Jokic. I'm sure if he was American, trendy etc would be different situation.
We should be thankful for nuggets who represent good old ball game. That's how most of us grew up to love the game.
Lots of respect.
If Jokić was on a bigger market team, it would’ve been different.
Small market teams get very poor coverage and their stars get overlooked
Respect isn't given it's earned. Now that he's performed well on the big stage he'll get his due. I don't care how many league MVP's you win to me you're not a great basketball player until you prove it on the biggest stage, the NBA Finals. Doesn't mean you have to win a chip, just show us you can handle the bright lights. Jokic is doing that, so I give him his respect, he earned it.
@@bGzzzzzDenver is an awesome place though, not sure why more people don’t visit it
Denver is unreal this year. I'm amazed 😢🎉
points in the paint, 60 to 34
It's funny how people always think it's three's and superstars that win chips. Turns out it's actually stuff like fewer turnovers, rebounds, coaching strategy, and defense. All the "boring" stuff lol.
This was the best sports show of all time
Did inside the nba stop existing??
@@OhGummy he said sports show🤡 not nba show
Just watched a lot of the nuggets/ jokic for the first time. The guy has incredible quick feet for a big man
Oh man he’s amazing to watch! His passes are always phenomenal and on point. It’s beautiful
While I am not a fan of either team, it would be nice for Denver, the team with the best regular season record, to win the championship.
Sure will miss this pair; best of good fortune to both. Hope Shannon doesn’t regret this move.
milwaukee had the best record. Denver had the 4th best record
I'm sure that even Jokic won't be able to pull of what he's doing to the game again. Legendary run. Simply legendary.
This is once in a lifetime shisshh we are witnessing.
I always feel for guys who have ACL injury because I had it and your knee is never quite the same. So it's great to see how Klay and Jamal look better than ever. Joe Burrow too.
The scary part is MPJ and KCP aren’t shooting the ball well and they still won by double digits last night
Every time the nuggets won in these playoffs it was by double digits and when they lost it was by less than 7
Good luck beating Denver in the foreseeable future.
Jokic Murray Gordon will be a competitive core for years. They might have to trade MPJ but they can still win without him.
Sorry buddy sorry Charlie can't give credit to a team that hasn't done anything they haven't even won a championship ,so pump your brakes because you're the type of person that would criticize someone that has four rings and give credit to somebody that has no rings your brainwashed. Sorry no credit given here. You got to earn it no welfare allowed got it?
@@aw98000 they have Christian Braun, rookie... he’ll develop into a Star
You know Shannon is thinking, "two more wins for Denver and .... see you later Skippy!"
The guy looks slow and out of shape. Yet he's got his own unique rhythm, moves, shotmaking artistry and strength. He's the best passer of the game.
Whoever thinks that Jokic would've been manhandled in the 90's or before is wrong. Great players always adapt and they also change the game. What really sets him apart from other big men is his exceptional passing ability and efficiency as a shooter. Most big men struggled to make free throws. He's not a Hakeem level defender (who is?) but grabbing 20+ boards and bothering opponents physically works just fine.
Best player in all basketball. By a distance.
I didn't like Joker when he was first getting all the hype (I thought he was another slow, unathletic, white, European player). But as it stands right now, I see Jokic as the player who can single handedly save basketball by bringing back respect to the pivot position. He is doing a great justice to the game, and bringing back respect to the big man position. I wish him well and hopefully Denver wins this final. 💯💯👑👑🏀🏀
Game 4 will be the decisive game of the series for both teams. Heat will def come out with urgency, as they always do when they’re behind. Hopefully Malone will fire up his squad to match the energy
Wow. You came up with that analysis all on your own? That every game of the finals is a decisive game? Please say it again for every game.
If the heat lose this next game then the series is over.
Top Centers to ever play in the NBA: mostly all black and american: can we give this man Jokic some love. He may be the best non black/ non american center. Jokic is helping to break down barriers. Especially for not being athletic. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. I love what he is doing for the game.
Both were on fire with this topic🔥great show!
Awesome game by Jokic and Murray
Jamal and Nikola understand the space that happens for each other and where to move the ball. I think they will be friends for life if they chip. Because no reason they can't repeat.
Crazy how Embid got MVP over Jokic.
I feel like people ain't giving the 3-8 of the nuggets enough. Jokic and Murray were lighting it up in the bubble as well, but ultimately their depth could not match the Lakers. But players like Gordon, KCP, Braun, such a huge difference. They all do their job most games, and for the games where someone aint doing their job, they have enough of these quality role players that they can fill the space
That's just your average fan that doesn't watch a lot games or pay attention. They wouldn't want KCP or Aaron Gordon on their team because they don't average 20 ppg.
Shannon knows who the real MVP is.
They have so much great chemistry .. I wish they weren’t breaking up, it certainly doesn’t seem like there on a rocky road.. I hope Shannon didn’t listen to the comments and outside voices to make his decision to want out… either way I hope they both have great careers after this… and I hope whoever replaces Shannon can make this show go.. because shady is not it!!!!! And nick wright is great on FTF so please don’t take him away from brou and wildes! Find an outside player .. or even rob Parker would be great on this show, jus sayin
skup's career is OVER, he's DONE 🤣😂😆😄👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Rob can't stand skup,💯💯💯
Really is a shame
@@thenoseknows9391 Actually skip will still be undisputed and you will still be watching just to hate on him😂😂😂 skip is a clown and you are a sad pathetic shannon fanboy😁😁😁
@@thenoseknows9391 he’s making 30 mil a year wut
Aaron Gordon is so important to the nuggets he’s the xfactor we know what Murray and joker going to do 💯
I hope Shannon just signs a new contract with skip 😭 he can’t hate skip that much, their dynamic is so classic it’s beautiful
Look..I knew Jokic was going to be a handful for the Lakers and we didn't have anyone that could guard him. Actually, AD did as good as anyone in the league. That being said, we are witnessing maybe the greatest center to ever play the game period. He is so efficient and does it so effortlessly. I've never seen a big man with the abilities of a point guard and the court vision of the great Earvin (Magic) Johnson!
I am a Laker fan, so it's hard for me to swallow, when I write this here.
Hats off to you Jokic ( the Joker), We are seeing history in the making!
By the way who gave you that nickname anyway.. 😂
Can't not believe people actually thought Heat were gonna win this series 😂
It’s not over yet come back after Game 6
@@addy1231 It’s over
Jokic is a smooth , calm storm . His game is beautiful to watch n Murray is the perfect compliment to him .
58-33 on the boards is unreal
Miami has a couple of great players…Denver has a couple of great players and a great team. They’re too much for Miami
Who's great on Miami? 😒
I'd only say Jimmy is considered great on the heat. Denver has Murray and jokic.
@@azonnoza you can’t say Murray is great and Bam is not, they arguably have the same importance on their respective teams. Heat are at their best when Butler and Bam play great. Same with Jokic and Murray on the nuggets
@The Khy-Life you’re proving my point… which originally was The nuggets have better stars and a better team

Last 3 years in what easily could of been 3 straight MVPs he AVERAGED
26, 12, 9, 2stocks on insane 59/37/83, best analytics by far, best on/off by far!
He’s undoubtedly Top5-25 somewhere in terms of what he’s done from 20-28 years old from an individual accomplishment stand point, statistically, playoff riser, analytically, all around game.
It’s a TEAM game boys that’s why Jokic only had 1 WCF before 28 years old. He was still an awesome 26, 12, 6, 2stocks 52/40/82 in nearly 50 playoff games. Murray been hurt last 2 playoffs as was MPJ last year. They had no bench. Even this series they still could lose if KCP MPJ continue to shoot 20% from 3 instead of their normal 40% (they’re 5-26 so far from 3 or they’re up 3-0 if they are their normal 10-26 to 12-26 selfs!). MJ first 6 Playoffs was 24-29 in playoff games and never made a finals also. Was 0-5 vs Celtics Pistons even though he was mostly elite in playoffs. TEAMS win titles not individual players!
If KCP MJP were their normal 10-26 to 12-26 from 3 selfs in Finals instead of horrid 5-26 Nuggets up 3-0 right now!
Clown Skip trying to minimize how ILLmatic Jokic is. “He was pretty good in first half” 14, 12, 7 at half is not pretty good it’s GREAT! Any half that you double that gives you 28 24 14 is an awesome half. Playoff Murray is great as well! Their one of the illest duos ever!
Both Shannon & Skip are very professional!
Shannon dont leave man. Undisputed is a part of my life mow
MPJ has to go at this point
Denver is just unreal but for real lol but Its still impressive what Miami has been able to do through out the playoffs but Denver has it this year
Jokic is the most formidable and relentless attacker in the NBA right now!
The man just keeps coming!!
Plain talk, the man is unstoppable and he has a real team behind him as well
Jimmy no show. Dude skates so much for how he played vs Milwaukee in round 1. Every other star would be called out
Less than a year ago, people were arguing if Jokic would be a future hall of famer. And I argued what 2 time MVP isn't the hall of fame? And now everyone is saying he's an all-time great. It's crazy.🙄
MVP is a regular season award. What you do in the Playoffs and the Finals is what matters most, we don't crown anyone prematurely. If he won two league MVP's then got injured and couldn't play anymore would he be in the HOF? I don't think so but it's a good debate.
@Udanoob yes he would be. There are players who are in the hall of fame with no accolades to their name like Tracy McGrady. Hesitant known as one of the greatest players of his generation and never made it out of the 1st round of the playoffs. So Joker would be a hall of famer as well. And he's proven to be more than just that by those standards and people still questioned his greatness.
Jokic is like a machine unextraordinary but utilitarian. He does what He is meant to do like a well-oiled machine.
Jokic is the best player in the NBA, so unstoppable. His light touch gets the ball going in like there's a vacuum cleaner in the net.
All playoffs it’s always about what the other team didn’t do, instead of what the Nuggets did to win for skip 🤦🏾♂️
Right I agree
This Denver team, you are looking at the next Dynasty.
There the big 5!🙄
I knew the "Let" was gonna be an intro 🤣🤣🤣
I was watching the game last night and everytime the nugs got in the paint I found myself saying BBQ CHICKEN ALERT
Lolz... Skip and ifs 🤝🏽... They didn't have Tyler all through this run so, how is he a factor now? 😂
How do they NOT have the highlights prepared for this show?,.It's embarrassing~
They can't show them on the TH-cam channel for copyright. Only on the actual show
Nah gotta keep fighting til the end never let up on the opposition🗣️💯
I saw the highlights on Christian Brown and he looks pretty talented to me. Not sure where that comment from Skip about his talent came from especially with all the good things they pointed about about his play.
Skip!!!!!! Shannon!!!!! When you guys are friendly......it's the best sports show out there. I blame Skip for being 10% past acceptable on many occasions. Now he's reeled it back and the show is GREAT AGAIN. YOU GUYS GO OUT FOR DINNER, DRINK A LOT OF SCOTCH, REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE TOGETHER, THEN ON COME ON BACK WITH A SUBDUED SKIP!!!!!! AND CONTINUE FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
I feel that man it was inevitable that he only finally appreciated Shannon when it was officially over… he took it for granted the last 2-3 years. Such a shame this finals/ playoffs coverage has been amazing content
Bruh. We dont even know the reason he left. Maybe Unc just wants to take his podcast to the next level.
Go Jokic ..watching him is awesome..my old heads will REMEMBER the line from the Rocky movies I MUST DESTROY YOU
They act like herro is gonna come back and be scoring 20 a game off the bat bruh is probably gonna struggle the first two games back
Shannon is like "2 more wins and im out of this trash show!"
Show about to be "Skip and Skip"
You mean “Skip and Dip” as in a DIP in ratings lmao
