NBA media coverage is the worst in sports imo. Instead of acknowledging the 3x MVP all time performance they went and and just discredited Rudy Gobert's defense smh
That's so stupid too. Like, what do you want Gobert to do that he isn't already doing? He's forcing Jokic to work really hard to only take nearly impossible shots but they all end up going in.
Can't blame the defense when the one with the ball just doesn't miss anything even if he's shooting without looking at the basket at the end of the clock over a 7 footer.
Their explanation for the losing player/team is only bc they suck, not bc the other player/team is good. Then they discredit the winning player/team bc “everyone they beat sucked” so now it’s unimpressive.
They only tear down because they can’t break the game down and it’s weird they still have the power
@@shelovet0mmyHow Perkins has a job is beyond me. No insightful observations.
It's not like his 5pts/5rb career avg makes him qualified either.
@@oneilg8988 its not about good analysis, its entertainment and hierarchy
If you show that you will play ball and are connected you become part of the club
I stopped watching ESPN after what Stephen A did to Max Kellerman, as well as them falling apart sending off Rachel and Pierce too
Not that I loved them, but it was just gross how it was all done
Oh I agree. Defending an NBA player one-on-one is very tough, almost impossible, especially if the offensive players are elite. No one is stopping Joker one-on-one. I'm not sure anyone in history can stop him. All Gobert can do is try to take away something and wait for help.
Lots to comment on here. One thing that's interesting about Jokic is I feel like he just shoots enough 3s to make defenders believe that he will, but what he really wants to do is pump fake and drive because it makes the defense work, puts them in rotation, allows them to make mistakes. The 3 is mathematically a good shot for him, but it also does not put pressure on the defense to execute. I think about this a lot when thinking about the difference between the Nuggets offense and the Celtics...
Hoop Venue has quickly become an immediate click, keep up the good work!
I really appreciate the support!

FACTS
@@HoopVenueYou're right up there with Thinking Basketball, and Daniel Li! What's there not to support?
Who's daniel li?
His highlight reel from just game 5 alone is better than most great bigs career highlight reel.
Had to keep stopping and rewinding.
That offball movement analysis is 💯. Haven't seen anyone else talk about that before.
Spot on. And moving the defense pieces around. That's a great way to look at it, and it's true. He manipulates the game at both ends. He's a coach that is also a player.
Daniel li does it but hes not as efficient as hood venue
40 points 14 assists 0 turnovers with behind the back no look passes no less. What a beast.
Nuggest back to back!
After last season's run through the playoffs it was apparent that no coach or team had an answer for Jokic. Each team tried everything they could to disrupt him. He is the most inevitable player since MJ. His game and poise are maddeningly consistent for his haters. They can't understand how he doesn't get rattled, how he can't be sped up. It's simply amazing to see. Great channel.
He may end up in Jordan/Kareem tier..those 2 are the best ever, not LeBron
Great observations
He can't be sped up, since he doesn't need speed with hooks, fade-aways, one-leggers, layups, and passing.
He is not the most inevitable player since MJ
The thing I’ve noticed watching jokic is the most impressive thing isn’t just his touch or his passing ability which are elite of course. But it’s actually something else that doesn’t get talked about a lot, it’s his reaction time. It’s the way he reacts to things, if you watch him play he isn’t even really thinking to hard he’s more so reacting to what the defense is doing, but he’s doing it so insanely quick. For example, he’ll give an eye fake to see what the defense is going to do, then in that split second as he’s in the air if he sees that defender move back he’ll continue the floater and score it. But if he stays tight he’ll turn it into either a lob or a pass to the dunkers spot. The way you gotta play him is different than you’d have to play someone else, you basically got to stay tight on him and react to how he plays you can’t really think or plan for him because he just plays by how you play him which is strange to think about. If you double him he’ll give you 20 points and 15 assists. If you let him score it’ll be 40 and 10. You basically gotta play him reactionary and even then he’ll still give you 20.
Great observation! That's exactly what I meant in the video when I talked about how quickly he processes the defense, can't teach that.
I spoke with some former elite players in different sports here in Serbia who used to play against all time greats in their competitions. They all agree that what separates most of the top dogs from any other player is that "the time is passing slower for them than for everybody else". They say that what they experience is like they are all in regular speed while these special players are on fast forward mode. They attribute it to the reaction speed both in thinking and executing. Now, when you watch it on television it doesn't show because it is a very tiny speed difference but in real time it is almost unfair advantage because that split second makes all the difference in the world. With Joker, who is adding to that advantage his physical strength, spectacular IQ and one of the softest touches we have ever seen, it elevates to a level where there is almost nothing you can do if he does his things right. And he does it right almost all the time, because in his basketball vision the whole point is to make the most efficient play that is available. That is why he seems so selfless, he would execute himself only if he doesn't have better option in court at that particular moment.
At the end, to make things even crazier, his ergonomic style of play makes him available all the time because his meticulous calculation of usage of physicality and stamina makes him play long minutes at the same rhythm while keeping him away from most of the injuries that are coming from physical strain and overuse. Nuggets really hit the spot with their franchise player, and they got it from the 41 position on draft. Go figure.
@@goranlojancic8420 Manny Pacquiao can see faster than his opponent based on some study.
This is because most of the time, before getting the ball, he already observes his surroundings and decides what to do. When he gets the ball, everything he does looks very fast.
In the Gobert post up situation for instance, you may or may not decide to bring help. Whatever you choose, Jokic has a counter before you do something and you look helpless.
He does the "touch" passing, which Larry Bird did also, which means he also is a step ahead of the rest of us, including the defense.
On top of his basketball skills, he's humble as pie and a great leader. Jokic makes it easy to build good team culture. He is truly 1 of 1
He’s the goat
Jokic is that guy
I have a feeling Awful Coaching gonna call him out for no reason😂
Update he called him out in his latest video😭
@@sdtrezvantcame here looking for a comment about AC. Was not disappointed.
Not for no reason, it’s cuz WE LIVE IN NORTH KOREA 🤣🤣🤣
Your narration is godlike! Keep doing what you're doing 💯
Thank you!
Coach Nick was whining about them not putting KAT on Jokic, but this placed Gobert on Porter Jr. and they got massacred, and then when they wanted Gobert on him they screened KAT and got the Gobert matchup.
Awesome video, regards from Serbia
really like the analysis of the relocation after moving the ball, and comparing it to other great 1v1 playmakers… that off ball movement after getting rid of the ball makes the defense stress the whole shotclock
3x MVP 1x Finals MVP 1x Ring with more to come.The inventor of the Point Center and the most complete offensive player ever.The Legendary Joker
Jokic is just a highlight machine
I agree you don't have to be mj type to have great highlights and be entertaining...I mean shaq was entertaining and did nothing but dunk on people! Lol
Jokic is the culmination of the history of Basketball's training and skills, combined with once in a generation (or more) touch and vision, in the body of a 6'10", 285 lb center. And despite his outward personality, the guy is a competitor.
I used to think that Lebron was the perfect basketball design. Defense, Offense, and Passing. But Jokic can post like Kareem, shoot like Dirk, create like Magic, rebound like Moses, with the Coachability and Leadership of Tim Duncan. Even not being a star on defense, he might be the best basketball design now.
(And IF Wemby can reach this level, with his defense, then that might be the perfect basketball player.)
Very well said!
Hoop Venue has now officially joined my top tier basketball content youtube channels, up there with Thinking Basketball.
I’ve been a nuggets fan my whole life (23 years) and I can’t explain how amazing it feels to see the team that has been built throughout the years. Great video, keep it up!
He just understands basketball at 250 IQ level. Way higher that those that came before him.
History made again! The Denver Nuggets are not only a beauty to watch they are the Team that makes me happy as it is the 90's again! I❤it!
*NORTH KOREA VENUE*
Communism will reunite the Korean Peninsula
WE LIVE IN NORTH KOREA
Communism will reunite Northern Eurasia
It's a joke how good Jokic is, no wonder Shaq is jealous of this guy 🤭
Top top analysis...accurate and deep.
Glad you enjoyed!
Regarding your point on Harden and Luka, they're among a few very special players who can get a bucket pretty much whenever they want (and their teammates in their case). However, they'll rarely set the screen, draw attention to help their teammates, or draw up plays where they don't touch the ball. Once they're out of the play, that's it, they think "My job is done". Jokic never thinks that way. He looks at the game with the aim of maximizing his team's chances of winning every time. If that means getting a bucket, playmaking, setting a screen, drawing attention without the ball, or whatever, he'll do it. He looks for the right play for his team, EVERY TIME.
Bro you got a real talent for analysis. You notice all the little things that we can’t quite put into words. Looking forward to more videos
Absolutely Awesome Video! Jokic is becoming a Top Five Center before our very eyes.
Your presentation is awesome. Subbed.
Great analysis, look forward to more, keep up the good content.
Such a lean resume for a technical and tactical analysis and not bullshit vid. Congrats new subscriber

Amazing analysis, no drama whatsoever just straight ball. Subscribed!
I love it keep it coming
joker def on the top 5 of all nba history, period.
he's not just an offensive GOAT, his defense is elite as well.
only 13 players have led the league in DBPM multiple times; of those only 6 have done it 3x: Marcus Camby (DPOY), David Robinson (DPOY), Nate McMillian (2x all-def), Mark Eaton (DPOY, all-time leader in blocks per game), Sam Lacey (played prior to DPOY award)
...and Jokic. if he does it again next year he'll be the only player to do it 4x (stat has only been kept since '74, otherwise Russell would likely have the most). he's also been top 10 in defensive win shares each of the last 4 seasons, including 2nd place twice.
Jokic is a different animal in terms of NBA now !!! ☝️🏀💪🔥👍
Venue has quickly become an immediate click, keep up the good work!
This is quality content! Amazing analysis and narration. Well done, man!
Thank you!
hard not to put him in the top 10 all ready. Need more championships to get into that top 5. Watched every Nugget game and you could make a 30 minute clip of stuff he does when the ball is dead. So entertaining to watch. Hell he has made the tip off ball fun to watch.
Guy is INSANE.
Jokic has soft hands and light feet. His pick up a bounce pass that is 18- inch high with one hand, and run at a speed that he can stop or change direction suddenly. Very good balance, too.
Insane🎉🎉
love seeing your videos man
I appreciate that!
here after AC video 😂
Me 😂😂😂
Nikola Jokic is so tactical with his moves! Wow!
Id love to see a video on game 6, complete domination tonight that changed the narrative for this series completely. Game 7 is going to be a fun one to watch. WOLVES IN 7 🐺 !!
Real ones know, Jokic is the best basketball player on the planet
Cap
At this point it goes without saying that HV’s breakdowns and analyses are some of the best on the internet of all time, shedding light on facets of the game that can be hard to spot in real time or in a highlight reel. Excellent work here.
Now for a strange request lol I would love to hear this man say something to the effect of “stroke that thang cuzzo” in one of these videos in his trademark delivery 😭😂
Belter video, just subscribed now 👍🏻
I love the cat and mouse of Joker waiting patiently for the double team; then they fake, he doesn't bite, waits again for the total commitment, then spins or passes the ball off-every single possession at the elbow or post. There's no defense for this, and the perfect reason for Joker's greatness is this: he's figured ball out; it's elegant but a simple game. So it comes easy to him, and he's affected his teammates with the same understanding. Now you have a team in sync playing simply but effectively. Simple stuff, why make it complicated?
The creativity to tip the ball up to himself to protect the ball and get into a better attacking position at the same time is just so 😗🤌
Good video. Was truly awe-inspiring how dominant he looked last game. But also have to say Aaron Gordon is a rare talent for them as an ultra-elite supporting/role player. When Malone unlocked Nuggets' guards by having Gordon play point it was a huge success - but wouldn't have worked anywhere near as well with almost all other bigs. Gordon has great combo of strength, size,and athleticism where he moves really well even keeping his dribble super low to the ground. Physically he's more in the **general mold** of Lebron (chill, King fans - of course he's nowhere near the skill level..I just mean his build and general athleticism ONLY lol)
I want to know. Exactly what Gobert was supposed to do with unstoppable hooks and play making. Dude is an animal. My guy plays like a 40 year old but some how has stamina and a step back jumper that’s nuts. Like how exactly does anyone in history stop that. Dude is super efficient and barely dribbles, yet can shoot from anywhere.
When's the game 6 video?
he absolutely flattened kat in that one clip hahah
can you do a breakdown of Knicks vs pacers game 5?
The greatest european EVER, Jokic is making us proud!
Ngl… he’s 100%. The best player to ever play hands down. There’s legit nothing you can do. I hate admit it. But it’s so obvious at this point.
Nikola Jokic UNSTOPPABLE ON OFFENSE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really like the play in 6:09
@11:05 look how aggressive he is look how he shoves ruddy’s hands out the way he ain’t soft
Plenty players like him all it takes is the right situation and cameras come rolling in like you just started hooping smh lol.. That man BEEN THAT.. He has a great system and players to fit right in with him
Second! Which is how many rings Jokic will have after this playoff run.
7
Im sad for gobert ngl, he’s been playing amazing defense joker is unstoppable tho and the media will destroy him for that
Timberwolves watching this video:
🗒️✍️🤓
Joker forces us to talk about race relations. For real. He deserves way more credit than what mainstream analysts give him.
Back in the Cancun the wolves go. They gonna wait another 20 years for a good season
2:37 - Monster Screen like a brick wall.
Meanwhile, they got destroyed in Game 6. Let's see if minesota can keep it up.
cant wait til you break down tonights game
Jokic is among the highest basketball IQs ever.
Jokic's play style is diff than Duncan, but he's essentially him of this era. Best player, but not a marketable, household name. Guys like Ant and Tatum check more boxes for what NBA wants as the new face. If Jokic continues winning MVPs/rings though, they won't have a choice but to acknowledge him.
The nuggets just got dookied on 😢
Never ever, bro might be the goat we’ll see
Sorry for saying nuggets were going to lose. You were right and i was wrong. I guess that's why you have the TH-cam channel and i don't.
Let's not act like it wasn't overwhelmingly in favor of the Wolves at one point. Not at all a bad prediction whatsoever, and who knows, it isn't over just yet!
As for whether he's the most complete offensive player, I would ask, what can't he do? Is there a pass he can't make, or some place on the floor where he can't operate? Some read he can't see? Some shot he can't make? I would say no- There's nothing he is missing.
You know we haven't seen anyone be able to Garner that much attention when he has the ball in his hands since Michael Jordan. An argument can also be made for Stephen Curry just because of his ability to hit the three and space the floor. The curry but curry is not a 7-ft guy in the post either which makes joker even more dangerous in that respect. The fact that he can also hit the three not as consistently as Stephen Curry, but pretty damn consistent gives him threats that MJ didn't have. Now MJ was about a 33% shooter from three so he was no liability either but it wasn't a part of the game back when he played. So between his IQ, his ability to use his body, his passing and all the other things that you mentioned. He literally is the most dangerous person in the NBA today. If he can keep this up, continue improving through his prime and exit the league with the dignity that he's shown up to this point. I don't see any reason why he won't be in the top 10. Maybe even the top five depending on how much he wins. But no matter which way you cut the pie, he's one of the greatest to ever do it. And he's the best man in the league right now
sickening skills in offence
Being a nuggets fan is so sick, my only complaints are my goat Nene isn't a part of it, and knowing after Jokic retires, we will NEVER have a player even close to this good again
For game 7 I would hunt Kat on Jokic, make KAT go into foul trouble or make them double, and put MPJ, Gordon and Murray as cutters. When they attack with that, Minnesota can't be as aggressive as they always are.
jokic a Playmaking Glass cleaner from 2k20😭😭
He might be top 3 of all time when it's all said and done the gap between him and second best player is gigantic and Denver has relatively young core .
According to Draymond, Gobert just did everything wrong. Annoyed hearing him act is if anyone can stop this version of Jokic.
Name me 5 top Centers in the NBA ???
The white mamba? Bro averaged 420 a game on 69% from the field
This is the “new media”. Not former players
The biggest contribution he makes is the Godzilla Movie floodlights he shines on the desperate, racist, and moronic media that can’t comprehend his greatness.
About Jokic "Gallops his way..."
I see what you did there.
who’s here after they lost by 90 😭
Might be the smartest player ever up there with magic bron cp3 rondo bird and luka
Yes we have… his name was Jack Sikma
jack da lad! :D
I can't give enough praise to Malone's adjustments to the Wolves full court press. Absolutely incredible.
Went from losing by 20 to winning by 20. What a crazy turnaround.
Call me crazy, but one day, he could be as great as Scalabrini
better! :D
Jokic or bill Russell at their peak ?
11x champ , 5x mvp …if they had defensive accolades back then …bill russel would’ve won more than anyone .
Jokic easily tbh
I can't compare two eras like that! But if I have a team I'll pick Jokic because he's by far the most versatile offensive player ever.
I may sacrifice something on defense but I'll take him anyway.
@@elmehdinafia1237 I wasn’t hating on the joker or nun I just fw bill Russel cause my great great grandma slept with him
@@Hatedvariiuhhh? This is something you should probably keep to yourself lmao
Who’s here after the 45 pts blowout?
Nikki J
Why do you always jinx teams
Shaq just stole John Wick car with that stupid statement about mvp,and now Timberwolves suffering
