Larry Bird was like Jokic but with more speed and even better passing and scoring ability Career Total Stat Points (Career Avg PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) Bird: 24.3 PPG / 10.0 RPG / 6.3 APG / 1.7 SPG / 0.8 BPG = 43.1 Jokic: 20.2 PPG / 10.5 RPG / 6.6 APG / 1.2 SPG / 0.7 BPG = 39.2
Joel Embiid has never made a Conference Finals and Jokic just won his first Championship. But because he scored 47 in a regular season game he's better than the first player to ever lead the playoffs in Points, rebounds, and assists. YEAH RIGHT.
@@VilleyJokic in regular season was still better and more valuable than Embiid. Jokic led in assists, rebounds, efficiency fg% and TS% and 3pt%, also led in majority of advanced stats and major ones like PER and WS/48, more steals and deflections and much higher offensive rating, Jokic team wemt 5-8 WITHOUT him however Embiid team went 11-5 WITHOUT himself. Only thing Embiid leads over Jokic is points (due to more free throws really), more blocks and very slight lower defensive rating that’s really it. Jokic is really the mvp that got robbed due to racist Perkins narrative of white American voters implication that’s really it

Ask any NBA player who's more intimidating Jokic or Embid I guarantee they pick Jokic but skip loves Embid so much shows how low skills BB IQ really is
People are finally waking up. He's not the flashiest player but numbers don't lie. Even crazier when you see how little joker even cares about basketball, he's at his most comfortable in a horse buggy lmao
Jokic is an example of a true complete personality. Every time he takes the opportunity to praise his teammates, no matter what individual success he makes. How great of a man he is was seen last night when, after the end of the game, without any emotions of joy, he first went to shake hands with every Miami Heat player. I simply cannot understand that someone can hate Jokic, and if someone does, he should ask himself what kind of person he really is. In my opinion, Skip is the type of man I wouldn't turn my back on if I were in a war situation, even if he was my comrade (that is just an example what kind of opinion I have about him). I can't believe that despite everything Jokic has accomplished, he still thinks Embid is better than him. That's just insane.
I agree. Skip lives to be a contrarian. He doesn’t evaluate things from a centered place. He thinks like this: “How can I respond in a way no one else is responding to generate debate?”
Reason why Embiid played well against Joker was because Embiid, the Sixers and their fans wanted to prove that he was better than Joker in that game so he went all out. You could tell that by watching the fans in that game. It was like a playoff game to them. Joker on the other hand just approached as just another game and didn't chase stats. Also, the NBA isn't a one on one game. It's a team game. Joker effects the entire offense more than Embiid. He's like the field general out there, dictating every offensive possession. When it comes down to impacting the game, Embiid hasn't been able to do that in the playoffs when it matters.
This is on point. I think Embiid played harder in that game than in games 6 and 7 against Boston. He just wanted to show everyone he’s much better than Jok while Jok could care less about who’s better and all that nonsense
Nikola Jokic is the only reason why I started to watch Basketball again since the Michael Jordan days. Neither Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Steph or KD could convince me to do so !!
Then he goes on to say Embid was 1 game away from the finals when he fully well knows that Embid never got out the 2nd round. That Sixers vs Raptors series was round 2. Raptors went on to beat Bucks in the ECF and win the finals.
Funny how even when Jokic gets his credit for his offensive numbers people still discredit his defense… as if he wasn’t one of the best defensive players these entire playoffs. Jokic’s defense is insanely underrated and he has been one of the better defenders in the nba for awhile. Maybe not elite or All-Defensive team level, but he positively contributes on the defensive end night in and night out with his IQ and intuition and quick hands, led ALL defenders in the NBA these playoffs in deflections per game at 3.2 I believe, he is the best player in the world currently without any doubt.
I agree Shannon Sharpe leaving undisputed is horrible because he was entertaining but just like you said espn first take sucks it hasn’t been good since Skip left.
The craziest part is that it was “he’s gonna get cooked on defense, all you gotta do is put him in PnR” and yet I don’t remember a time this post season where he looked weak defensively
@@bigsmall2842 Yeah he definitely struggled on help defense. Still there are people out there thinking Jokic is some terrible defender overall. It's this thing with the average casual NBA fan that once a guy gets a reputation it'll always be that way. Jokic has been fairly solid on defense for a few seasons now with the numbers to back it up but people still think he's bad. Same in reverse happens where guys that were good defenders have a few terrible seasons but are still seen as good defenders by the average fan. Jokic isn't quite a paint defender like an Embiid or as versatile on defense like a Giannis but he's far better than he gets credit for.
@@offense_a_byproduct_of_truth So he looked weak when switched on to a dominant perimeter scorer? Most bigs in the game would suffer the same fate. Jokic's improvements on defense are more to do with timing and positioning. Something he excelled at in the Finals. A defense with Jokic manning the 5 held the Heat to basically nothing offensively. They scored over 100 just once in 5 games and were even held to 89 in the closeout game. Thinking Basketball has a great video he put out today that shows Jokic and the Nuggets overall defense in detail and why it works. Really fun watch as are most of their videos.
@@Cardb33 lol but the nuggets barely scored over 100 themselves and didn’t do so some games. so what are you saying lol. either way jokic did perform well in postseason on defense.

My eyes are getting watery just thinking about it. This duo has been amazing to watch. Thank you unk for all the years, all the laughs, all of your sayings, the energy, and your love for my favorite team. The Lakers.
Bruh the media is trying their best not to market Jokic because now they have to watch the games, analyze his game since he doesn’t have a personality to carry them for more ratings. The media is making the nba unwatchable because people don’t want to hear Lebron and curry every damn day.
I agree it was a great run by Shannon Sharpe on undisputed but unfortunately all runs must come to an end and his last run was this show. Goodbye undisputed.
@@willjohnwick6911 What does “can’t” mean, because he did a fine job throughout the playoffs, and especially in this series. Gianni’s inability to shoot free throws was obviously more detrimental to his team this year than Jokic’s supposed inability to defend.
Shannon you showed love to Jokic through out the season and his career. I have no idea why Skip doesn't want to recognize his skils, foot work, scoring, passing, etc. Skip constantly brings up Embiid.... Where in the world is Embiid now? Skip's excuses for Jokic are that he was scoring against smaller players. Well, what did Embiid do. He didn't even make to the Eastern Conference finals. I just don't get it.
It’s weird. Bc Embiid is obviously not on the level that Jokic is. Embiid is on the same Tier or level that Dame Lillard is as a player. And Jokic is on a Tier of his own with only Giannis right behind. Skip needs to retire
A lot of skips argument was 1 head to head matchup where embiid "dominated" jokic, who still had 24-8-9 on 8-12 shooting. In that game embiid took 31 shots for those 47 points while the rest of Phillys starting 5 took 32 for the game. Jokic is the stat padder here though.
So Skip still thinks Joel is better because he won the MVP this year? I thought all that mattered was the postseason? Or is this just the new narrative to create since you can’t find any other way to say Jokic isn’t the best player in the nba rn. Which atp is undeniable.
I think Embiid has a stronger frame and a better skil set including defense. But the problem with Embiid is he doesn't use his body enough in the paint. Hakeem Olajuwon critiqued Embiid saying he's needs a bigger presence in the paint because Embiid wants to shoot like a guard, same applies to Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns. Jokic isn't afraid of the paint and I just believe Jokic is the smarter center. Jokic knows his game where Embiid seems like he's still trying to figure himself out.
Pretty sad because the finals being over means Uncle Shannons leaving. Other than that Jokic is getting the Giannis treatment. Put up all time great numbers and no one cares till you win a ring. We need to change that because rings are TEAM rewards. JOKIC has been this good for years but people just woke up to him. Very frustrating but at least they actually came around lol
Congrats to Denver! They went through so much as a team. People doubt them from the beginning of the season including this playoff run to win it all. They deserve this. Jokic prove he was the best player in these playoffs, Jamal Murray coming off a ACL injury show up in the big moment and the role players made a differences.
Embiid had Jimmy Buckets, Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons, and a knock down shooter in JJ Redick and couldn't get past the 2nd round of the playoffs but continues to praise Embiid as he is the chosen one 😂
Ok so Embiid won the first matchup and ducked smoke in the second, that's even afaic. When you look at the raw regular season numbers Nikola's were indisputably better, the postseason just makes it a wrap.
Joker brought more to nba than people can realize. Friendship, unselfishness, to be humble, joyfull, greatfull. Its not about flashy life, its not about money. Joker you are the greatest in history. ❤
Love how Jokic was humble enough to work on his conditioning in the interest of becoming a better player. Doncic should take notice. No reason for a 25 year old professional athlete with potential like Doncic to be as out of shape and indifferent about conditioning as he is.
Can't wait to see the Sixers raise a banner that says "Embiid scored 47 points against Jokic and the Nuggets in a meaningless regular season game." That game and the pity MVP was Embiid's championship, he made that very clear as he, on schedule, disappeared in the playoffs. Gotta love it. I never wanna hear Embiid be compared to Jokic ever again. Jokic is miles ahead of that fraud.
Depends how you want your team to be, but if you were drafting an all century team, Jokic could be your center and dominate with a few shooters and an athlete. Which depending on how you look at it puts Joker in a top 5 argument. He is awesome either way
No one could make a legitimate argument Jokic isn't a top 5 player right now. I would say he's the best player right now, but you can't make a legitimate argument he isn't at least top 3.
I don’t know about all century till he gets a good decade of playing like the solidified all century players. All century sounds weird too, might as well just say all time since the nba isn’t a century old yet too. But I wouldn’t have joker In my top ten all time yet.
I’d like to remind Skip that Jokic faced off against AD just the previous round, going into this series in the back of my mind I was like what’s Bam Adebayo doing to do 😂😂
Jokic is insane.. I’ve been saying he’s the best center in the NBA for the last few years and Embiid Stans got triggered because of it lol Now, there’s not even a debate on who’s better. I’m happy for him and the Nuggets
Making an argument about Joker vs Embid after a man (Joker) won a Championship is absolutely ridiculous. Embid is an amazing player, but he shouldn't be in this conversation at all, at this moment.
Jokic smoked Rudy, Ayton and Davis and Skip trying to make the argument that because Bam is "small" Jokic was too much of a mismatch. The man was cooking whoever was infront of him all playoffs..unlike the reigning MVP.
I hope whatever Unc does next is in this capacity. Love his insight, perspective, the way he expresses his opinions, his idioms, his wisdom, all of it. I want to hear HIM, Shannon Sharpe, talk about sports in the morning. I just hope he doesn’t have to sit across from some try-hard, trying to be a great value Skip. It’s not needed.
2 regular season mvp's one nba finals mvp, nba champ, never ever put Embiid's name in the same sentence as the world's best player Skip until Embiid has the same accolades as Jokic as of right now he ain't even worthy.
They faced Kawhi and the Raptors in the conference semifinals, it was bucks and Raps in the conference finals That being said you will be missed shannon
If Giannis had Murray, they would have won the chip. So to me Giannis and Joker are tied for best player on the planet right now. USA gotta step it up cause these euro players are going crazy

which Foreshadowed that he’d be the last one standing
Embiid won MVP
and lost in the 2nd round
Only Skip will discount a players performance because his defender is “too small.” That’s called domination!
It's 2 inch difference. By his logic every SG from 90s that guarded Jordan was undersized.

Skip's excuses for Jokic are that he was scoring against smaller players. Well, what did Embiid do. He didn't even make to the Eastern Conference finals. I just don't get it.
It’s weird. Bc Embiid is obviously not on the level that Jokic is.
Embiid is on the same Tier or level that Dame Lillard is as a player. And Jokic is on a Tier of his own with only Giannis right behind.
Skip needs to retire
Jokic beat up Gobert, Ayton and Anthony Davis to get to the Finals. Gobert and AD are both considered two of the top defensive bigs in the NBA.
Embiid needs 5 more inches
@@TreyJaySoSway stop that... Damian never had any all-star teammates and runs into peak GSW. Embid has multiple all-star/all nba player.
A lot of skips argument was 1 head to head matchup where embiid "dominated" jokic, who still had 24-8-9 on 8-12 shooting. In that game embiid took 31 shots for those 47 points while the rest of Phillys starting 5 took 32 for the game. Jokic is the stat padder here though.
So Skip still thinks Joel is better because he won the MVP this year? I thought all that mattered was the postseason? Or is this just the new narrative to create since you can’t find any other way to say Jokic isn’t the best player in the nba rn. Which atp is undeniable.
I think Embiid has a stronger frame and a better skil set including defense. But the problem with Embiid is he doesn't use his body enough in the paint. Hakeem Olajuwon critiqued Embiid saying he's needs a bigger presence in the paint because Embiid wants to shoot like a guard, same applies to Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns. Jokic isn't afraid of the paint and I just believe Jokic is the smarter center. Jokic knows his game where Embiid seems like he's still trying to figure himself out.
Can’t believe this is it. Please come back soon unc! The airwaves ain’t right without you.
Skip’s argument is that Joel scares him more.
Damn Just Watched Unc Sign Off Live On TV. He Cried And All. Im Probably Done With Undisputed But Im Definetly Going Wherever Shannon Go
cornball lol
Correction: Embiid and 76ers lost to the Kawhi Raptors in the 2nd round, not the ECF. The ECF was between the Raptors and Bucks.
Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets. Last night downtown Denver was lit!
10 people shot that night
Pretty sad because the finals being over means Uncle Shannons leaving. Other than that Jokic is getting the Giannis treatment. Put up all time great numbers and no one cares till you win a ring. We need to change that because rings are TEAM rewards. JOKIC has been this good for years but people just woke up to him. Very frustrating but at least they actually came around lol
Congrats to Denver! They went through so much as a team. People doubt them from the beginning of the season including this playoff run to win it all. They deserve this. Jokic prove he was the best player in these playoffs, Jamal Murray coming off a ACL injury show up in the big moment and the role players made a differences.
Shay sharpe’s field work references were funny asf😂
As the Nuggets may have a potential era starting we’re watching one end 😭😭😭
Only Bronsexuals are mourning. As Bully Maguire would have said, "Good riddance!"
Look at little Bronsexual Jr. Gonna cry?
Nuggets will be the Dynasty of the 2020’s
Nah gs wouldve smoked them.
@@mduncan5654 *PFFFFFTTTTTT* …ok buddy
Embiid had Jimmy Buckets, Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons, and a knock down shooter in JJ Redick and couldn't get past the 2nd round of the playoffs but continues to praise Embiid as he is the chosen one 😂
Embiid didn’t lose to Kawhi in the ECF, he lost to Kawhi in the 2nd round
The Nuggets still won despite shooting 5/28 from 3. That's hard to believe.
And was 12-23 from the free throw line.
Ok so Embiid won the first matchup and ducked smoke in the second, that's even afaic. When you look at the raw regular season numbers Nikola's were indisputably better, the postseason just makes it a wrap.
Everybody knows Jokic is better than Embiid, MVP is all about the narrative and always has been.
Joker brought more to nba than people can realize. Friendship, unselfishness, to be humble, joyfull, greatfull.
Its not about flashy life, its not about money. Joker you are the greatest in history. ❤
سنفتقد هذا الثنائي لقد كانت رحلة جميلة شكراً على كل شيء.
We will miss this duo. It was a beautiful journey, thanks for everything.
Love how Jokic was humble enough to work on his conditioning in the interest of becoming a better player. Doncic should take notice. No reason for a 25 year old professional athlete with potential like Doncic to be as out of shape and indifferent about conditioning as he is.
You haven’t seen luka recently have you? He’s dropped a good 25 pounds this offseason. Man’s been putting in work.
@@tkh525 Yep. Eventually he must work more and im glad he is now right mode. I just hope he got better team around. Dallas has not been even solid.
Can't wait to see the Sixers raise a banner that says "Embiid scored 47 points against Jokic and the Nuggets in a meaningless regular season game." That game and the pity MVP was Embiid's championship, he made that very clear as he, on schedule, disappeared in the playoffs. Gotta love it. I never wanna hear Embiid be compared to Jokic ever again. Jokic is miles ahead of that fraud.
Luka’s unprecedented season put him ahead of the guy who led the league in points, rebounds, and assists for the first time ever…okay
Depends how you want your team to be, but if you were drafting an all century team, Jokic could be your center and dominate with a few shooters and an athlete. Which depending on how you look at it puts Joker in a top 5 argument. He is awesome either way
No one could make a legitimate argument Jokic isn't a top 5 player right now. I would say he's the best player right now, but you can't make a legitimate argument he isn't at least top 3.
I don’t know about all century till he gets a good decade of playing like the solidified all century players. All century sounds weird too, might as well just say all time since the nba isn’t a century old yet too. But I wouldn’t have joker In my top ten all time yet.
@@shadowangel5547 No, I agree. But I think he's clearly in the top 25.
Didn't embiid have 15 and 8 in a game 7 against undersized bigs? Those are MPJ numbers. Fearing him more than Jokic is wild at this point
I’d like to remind Skip that Jokic faced off against AD just the previous round, going into this series in the back of my mind I was like what’s Bam Adebayo doing to do 😂😂
and last year in the playoff bam dominated embiid.
@@rb9888 cause Embiid isn't even better than AD
I miss their chemistry
Jokic is insane.. I’ve been saying he’s the best center in the NBA for the last few years and Embiid Stans got triggered because of it lol Now, there’s not even a debate on who’s better. I’m happy for him and the Nuggets
Except, Skip sounds like he thinks Embiid is better...
Making an argument about Joker vs Embid after a man (Joker) won a Championship is absolutely ridiculous. Embid is an amazing player, but he shouldn't be in this conversation at all, at this moment.
I click Undisputed clips for Shannon!
I just watched your goodbye speech, Shannon. We're gonna miss you more than you know and we wish you the best!
Man we gone miss you unc 😢
Man still hearing new sayings from Unc even after 7yrs on his last day. Gonna miss that man
Idk how Skip can even bring up Joel Embiid with a straight face during Joker and The Nuggets celebration.
Man I miss these two man.
Jokic is 2022/23 MVP.
Shannon is media MVP.
Facts Joker better Than Joel straight up 💯
Goodbye LeShannon Sharpe! you will be missed and GL on future endeavors
I would also like to mention, The Joker is the 1st recipient of the Mr. Bill Russell Finals MVP Award. Respect SIR. You are a true Gentleman.
Jokic could have easily been the MVP this year. Skip is something. He's doing everything in his power to not say Jokic is good.
We will miss Shannon on the show. TRUE WORK Hard of dicipline
Jokic is goated dude is top 10 at the least, and #1 at Center.
Jokic smoked Rudy, Ayton and Davis and Skip trying to make the argument that because Bam is "small" Jokic was too much of a mismatch. The man was cooking whoever was infront of him all playoffs..unlike the reigning MVP.
Been watching this show 3 years straight! Gone miss ya Unc! 🕊️
Skip had the nerve less than 24 hours later to say Embiid is more dominant lol
He’s a contrarian🤡 what did you expect?
Shannon im gonna follow wherever you go next. Lets hope you struck gold again like you did with this show
Literally cant believe this is the last show man I been watching this every morning for years now. I wish shannon nothing but the best 🫡
Bro i didnt even know Joker had all those stats this playoffs… 😳😳 man is insane!!
Shannon is awesome! These two have amazing memories. Congratulations Jokic & Nuggets!
Unk’s last show with Undisputed.. Damn🤦🏽♂️
Dang, we miss you already Unc! 😢God Bless!
Already a top 25 player OAT. Will be top 15 OAT if he can play some more years.
Butler's errant pass
Reminded me of c.webb, curry, j.r. smith etc
I’m going to miss this show. They beat First Take.
The anti jokic bias and hate is so obvious in his voice
I hope whatever Unc does next is in this capacity. Love his insight, perspective, the way he expresses his opinions, his idioms, his wisdom, all of it. I want to hear HIM, Shannon Sharpe, talk about sports in the morning. I just hope he doesn’t have to sit across from some try-hard, trying to be a great value Skip. It’s not needed.
Thank you Mr. Shannon for everything! From Serbia
Why is Skip propping up Embiid> Jokic? Jokic just went on a historic run, and brought Denver to its 1st chip while dominating during the playoffs.
Embid is nice but really the statistics are not lying - the SERBINATOR is the king 👑
I knew Skip was gonna bring up Embid. Skip keeps forgetting it was one regular season game. Pistons beat the Nuggets in the regular season.
AND he plays every game… what a player man
2 regular season mvp's one nba finals mvp, nba champ, never ever put Embiid's name in the same sentence as the world's best player Skip until Embiid has the same accolades as Jokic as of right now he ain't even worthy.
They faced Kawhi and the Raptors in the conference semifinals, it was bucks and Raps in the conference finals
That being said you will be missed shannon
We will continue to support you wherever you go Shannon💯
Jok went straight into top 30 all time, probably top 25 to with these finals.
Congrats to that man
Love Joker and his calmness
If Giannis had Murray, they would have won the chip. So to me Giannis and Joker are tied for best player on the planet right now. USA gotta step it up cause these euro players are going crazy
Stop it , it’s jokic ability to score from anywhere that makes their 2 man game so dynamic
"Clothes in a dorm room are on the floor more than him (Joel Embid)" LOL. Man, I'm going to miss Shannon.
Jokic said F that mvp that they should have gave me, I'mma go get me a Finals MVP.
Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets 2022-23 NBA Champions.
