It's just Big Honey doin that voodoo that he do...so well. The man is dangerous from anywhere on the court and his bball IQ is off the charts. Congrats Nikola on B2B MVPs.
Anyone who doesn’t believe Jokic should’ve won MVP again is crazy. Dude took them to the playoffs by himself and managed to average 27 points 13 rebounds AND 8 assists as a center! Most point guards can’t even average 5 assists a game this dude is a problem bro 🙏🏼❤️
Jokic is gonna finish with like 10 mvps awards but only 6 playoff wins for his entire career lmao. When people look back yall wilk see how overrated he was.
@@DukeOfChevo idk how jokic doesn't pass the eye test. Makes some of the toughest passes and even tougher shots every damn game. Dude is a monster on the court absolute nightmare for any team.
He literally has no business making those blind passes as a freakin' center. Or those threes. I'd like to see those haters list one, but ONE thing he's not good at. Notice I didn't even say bad, just not good. Even with that bar lowered, they'd have nothing, crickets.
@@Gdfsandoz He does pass it. Only reason he "doesn't" is when his "testers" close their eyes when he's on, or fixate them on something other than his play. They claim "eye test," but only as a pretextual excuse, with something else in their mind's eye. Bc the fact is, they never actually put him to the test. Certainly not in any fair-minded and even-eyed way.
1. Embiid’s best players were Seth curry and Tyrese maxey for 3/5 of the season 2. Embiid’s team won more games 3. Embiid the first center to win the scoring title since shaq! 4. Had sixers on top before getting harden 5. Is a much better defender Embiid is my MVP
@@sac1211 1. Jokics best players were Will Barton and Aaron gordan for 5/5 of the season 2. Jokic won more games then Embiid 3. Jokic first player to get 2000 1000 500 4. Jokic made the playoffs with a LA fitness squad. 5. Jokic is a much much Much better offensive player Jokic is THE MVP
I am from Serbia and im following Jokic since his time in Mega Vizura (serbian club). I always knew he is special but i couldnt imagin he will be b2b nba mvp, breaking records and puting this numbers. For us Serbians it is blessing to have guys like Nikola or Novak Djokovic.
2 time MVP. Next year Finals MVP. Nikola Jokic is phenomenal. I'm not a Denver fan but i want to see Jokic in the finals. He could be the next Nowitzki.
The most unique player in the NBA history. IQ, pure skills, position versatility, vision, creativity... Unbelievable. King Nikola I: Denver, c'est moi.
he had a historical season, was even better than his last year's MVP. So he beat himself and everyone else. - The only NBA player EVER to have 2000+pts, 1000+ rebounds and 500+ assists in one season - HISTORICAL - Top double-double NBA player (66) - Top triple-double NBA player - Top points, rebounds and assists in his team ... FIVE years in the row. Never have been done before. So, to all the haters and cry babies... do you understand why?!
@@calamorta Why? Are you more likely to win with a healthy Embiid or a healthy Jokic? I say with Embiid but it is close Edit: the main ‘problem’ is Jokic won last year, if he hadn’t he’d be a slam dunk MVP pick Like, if he puts up similar stats next year which he probably will, are you going to give him three MVP awards in a row? Of course not
@@zex2600 He’s literally not…… If you want to give it to the strictly best player then give it to Giannis (again) Giannis is a much better defensive player and probably (slightly) better offensively too
Well deserved by Jokic!! Love this guy as a player an as a person. 3 final candidates to the MVP: one from Europe, one from Africa and one from both. This says a lot about the current state of NBA basketball
@@cyrillesu Nah not even close. Maybe yes when speaking about tennis but football it's not even close. If it was that enjoyable it would have been the most popular sport in the world which it isn't
@@emps8992 Enjoyable is subjective, the main reason football is the most popular is that it was much more accessable than a lot of other team or ball sports. Don't need anything but people and a ball really, where basketball you also need a hoop elevated of some kind, and a ball that dribbles way more. It's a big reason american football doesn't really srpread to other parts of the world, there isn't the equipment or infrastructure for it and it's harder to just jump in without equipment. honestly which is the most enjoyable is different for each person
@@Saylin021 Nah the reason we don't like American football is because it has the lowest play time or open play out of all the ball sports and coming from Europeans who watch football (the sport with most play time ) that is why it will never be big. Its not the infrastructure we can use our own stadiums from football but we choose not to
The moment Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr are fully healthy the Nuggets are going to become the team to beat. What Jokic managed to achieve these last two seasons without them on both the stat sheet and the team record is nothing short of ridiculous. The Joker has redefined what it means to be an NBA center.
@Dragica Andrejevic Dragice jeste vi neki NBA stručnjak ili samo pratite malo košarku zbog Nikole😂😂😂😂😂? Šalu na stranu, odlično rečeno, MPJ i JM nisu ništa bolji igrači nego neki momci s Balkana, samo prenapuhani oko ničega. JM igrao odlično u balonu, a koliko je taj balon bio nerealan pokazuje činjenica što se dogodilo s Lakersima nakon tog balona gdje su bili prvaci. Denver je jako igrački limitirana ekipa, nikakvi MPJ i JM neće to promijeniti, egzistiraju isključivo na lucidnosti, kreativnosti i igračkoj kvaliteti Jokića, mislim da bi bilo koji basket igrač s ulice ubacio 5 koševa igrajući uz Jokića. Jedino se ne slažem vezano za Malone-a, uz igrače koje ima radi odličan posao, inače u NBA trener ne odlučuje koji će se igrači dovoditi i kolike će ugovore i plaće imati, to radi GM (General Manager) i voditelji košarkaških operacija ili kako on to zovu Front office members, tako što ste rekli za Malone-a trebate usmjeriti na GM-a Nuggetsa i ekipu oko njega. I jedan Greg Popovich ne može ući u doigravanje ako nema dovoljno igračkog talenta.
Jokic now the 15th player to win at least 2 MVPs Bob Pettit Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Moses Malone Larry Bird Magic Johnson Michael Jordan EDP Malone Steve Nash Tim Duncan LeBron James Stephen Curry Giannis Antetokounmpo Nikola Jokic
Give my man Jokić the respect he deserves.. Carried nuggets on his shoulder to playoffs, 27 points, 8 assists and 13 rebounds on average as a center ? NBA does not like him and against all the odds and promo of Embiid and Giannis over him, he still won so he earned his respect and status of back to back MVP. Players like Jokić are born once in a generation, true hidden gem of NBA.
I've been a big fan of The Joker ever since he really first broke out in 2018-19. Watching him for a few years and I still just can't believe how good he is sometimes, it's absolutely amazing to see someone play the game at such a high level of intelligence. He's a true master of the game, and I can't wait to see the rest of his (hopefully very winning) career.
Do you know what's the difference between Jokic & Giannis to Embiid? Jokic and Giannis want to win a championship and don't care about being an MVP. Embiid wants that MVP so much.
People made it sound like the MVP race between Jokic and Embiid was close, but in reality, it was never even a competition, Jokic was gonna win back to back MVPS running away, Joel Embiid is an amazing player, but the impact that Jokic has on a game is unparalleled, Embiid is money, but Jokic is one of the greatest offensive players the game has ever seen, Jokic has put up numbers over the last two seasons that no other player has put up since Wilt Chamberlain. He’s been recording video game stats on video game efficiency.
The single highest PER in a season in NBA history is insane! And almost by a full 1 point as well. Over the likes of Steph, Wilt, Jordan, Lebron...etc. This guy is special.
Congrats to Jokić. Backpacked the team the entire year on both ends of the floor. Really wish his season had ended in better fashion, but Nuggets will be back next year.
Congratulations MVP! As Richard Jefferson said today, you really are a once in a multi-generational player. Well deserved. Oh btw, know how many of these season-long highlights took place in the 4th Quarter with the game decided? Zero. (Arguably one.) For those who want to believe "He's a Stat-Padder," kindly take that couldn't-be-further-from-the-truth narrative and shove it. Thanks for these, and so many other moments. Please permit them to build a true, organic story.
@@hariprasadpoilath510 Sorry if it reads that way. I was just trying to condense it. Btw=By the way. There were 0 (maybe 1 if we really want to argue) highlighted plays that occurred in any "Stat-Padding" manner. And I was pleading for Media and Social Media to allow a more truth-based story to grow from exposure to Jokic's play and its appreciation. Hope that helps.
Congratulations Nikola your understanding, anticipation, shooting and passing on the game is amazing 👏 You're great with nuggets I wish you many more successful seasons in NBA.
Nothing but rspect for this amazing play maker slash center basketball 🏀 genius I love his plays and what he brings to NBA. His style and anticipation and passing is o another level
With Jokic on the court they’re top ten on offense and defense, without him they are dead last, he’s pretty damn valuable. That’s putting Jokic on the Rockets and getting them to the six seed. Embiid couldn’t do that

He is a mix of magic Johnson because of the passes and dirk because he can shoot and he is amazing in the post and can score from anywhere so magic and dirk
His offensive scoring skills are comparable to Larry Bird/ Kevin McHale and his passing skills are like Magic Johnson's. Edit - I'm not saying his defensive level is the same as, but looks a lot like Tim Duncan's defense.

To the people talking shit, please think about what VALUE means to you. Jokic literally led his team in every conceivable stat. There wasn't anyone more valuable to their team this year, but keep repeating First Take talking points please :'(
How can you NOT love this guy… he is so anti-showoff, so humble, so efficient, seemingly so slow yet so deadly… like an unstoppable TSUNAMI. Hail the Joker
Man i hope Jokic gets a few rings before his time is done. The Nuggets better not fuck up this up by not getting this guy some REAL help. You got the MVP playing with Aaron Gordon as the 2nd option while the rest of the leagues top teams are stacked.

Интересно е колку спортски менталитет имаат србите. Држава со 6.9 милиони жители вади повеќе таленти и во индивидуални и во тимски спортови повеќе од една америка, германија, италија...и сите се успешни. Браво браќа 🇷🇸🇲🇰
Като размениш по една буква на дума и се получава български. Много странно 😅
A lot of players could’ve gotten MVP this year, but Jokic deserves it the most.
His stats this season are phenomenal.

Jokic the first player in NBA history to record over 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 500 assists in a single season.
He is a mix of magic Johnson because of the passes and dirk because he can shoot and he is amazing in the post and can score from anywhere so magic and dirk
His offensive scoring skills are comparable to Larry Bird/ Kevin McHale and his passing skills are like Magic Johnson's.
Edit - I'm not saying his defensive level is the same as, but looks a lot like Tim Duncan's defense.
True but Tim Duncan's a way better perimeter defender
The most skilled big man in the league…he can do it all…shoot midrange and from 3…pass and set up…work in the post
"he can do it all"
apparently he can't win in the playoffs tho.
@@MossadJShilling nice try mossad, but consider your indian self to help your mother instead of being a troll online. you're not representing your indian kind.
@@MossadJShilling yeah because you need a team for that
@@MossadJShilling he did it last year… and the year before… and the year before…
@@londexe9964 really? how many rings does he have?!
This is a compilation of why I choose Joker for my all-time starting 5. So Jokic at the 5 spot, Tim Duncan at the 4, Kawhi at SF, and CP3 and Ray Allen as my guards.
Great video, this guy is a treasure. Hall of famer already.
12:41 you know Bones is excited as hell to receive one of Joker's famous TD passes. So glad to have them both on the Nuggs!
Congrats to The Joker for winning back-to-back NBA MVP Awards!
”Worst MVP ever”.
How can anyone have that opinion? It just blows my mind. The dude is one of a kind.
One of my favorite players
Can't imagine myself watching 16min highlights of Embiid. And i'm a Rockets fan.
15min and 58sec would be from ft line
Well Deserved! Jokic carried the Nuggets this year to a playoff berth. Best stats in NBA
to a first round exist, at what cost
@@paco8009 Cool, cry more.
CHOKIC WILL NEVER REACH THE FINALS, LET ALONE WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. #FRAUD
@@paco8009 paco? so I can tell your mexican, well sorry to tell you but mexicans can't be basketball players! good luck with soccer paco taco!
@@paco8009 his second and third best players were hurt the entire season lmao they lost to the warriors what the fuck else you want him to do. Stupid argument 🤡🤡
A player of high basketball intelligence with an excellent overview of players on the court.
Is this Sitka?
No? Awwww I know I had left to give y'all my hours
Well I'm here it makes a difference. Tyson foods and Grannis AR now.but uh yeah checkmate me bro some time.No Son.Just me bro.hellyeah he's a MVP
The footwork and the ability to anticipate where players are + where they will BE. Knowing when to shoot and when to pass. He never does too much and plays the game right. It just looks special because most of the league plays the game wrong.
Deserving, good job and congratulation...Jovic
How can you say "he's not the eye test mvp" don't you know how passing and footwork down low works????
MVPs usually win rings. Chokic is a fraud.
@@tropickman yeah race is everything in the Nba nowadays
I think people are getting wiser nowadays, and they now know how to appreciate boring productive players.
@@Thug2511 fuckin reverse racism is bullsh*t, we got rid of slavery now stop disrespecting white players. Spike Lee didn’t respect Larry Bird for a long time cuz he was white. It’s bull
I wonder if other superstars in the league watch Jokic and want to go play with him in Denver? Great setup guy from this video
i have never watched nikola jokic play but looking at this, hes a goat.
Your NBA finals MVP
dang, he's kinda all generations of miracle combined
Absolute wizard with the ball
He is such a joy to watch
So unbelievable!!
If there wasn't "blowout" wins where he would sit out last 2 quarters,numbers would be even bigger!!!
i mean that goes for every top player ever..
@@pikipxx Literaly not,i was watching games where Harden is in game last 2 mins just so he can continue his streak of 40+ points games even thoug Houston was down 20 or something,same goes for Westbrook same scenario but he was in game to finish season with tripledouble average
To the people talking shit, please think about what VALUE means to you. Jokic literally led his team in every conceivable stat.
There wasn't anyone more valuable to their team this year, but keep repeating First Take talking points please :'(
Ikw fuck this haters. The're as blind as a mole.
Shh... You make too much sense for the average American fan base
🤮
Joel Embiid is the best Center in the NBA
@@sirme8650 why do you think so?
Great video!
Jokara eating them like burek
Your smart player and new idoln of basketball Jokic
MVP GOAT 👏👏😍😍
How can you NOT love this guy… he is so anti-showoff, so humble, so efficient, seemingly so slow yet so deadly… like an unstoppable TSUNAMI. Hail the Joker
Enjoy one of the all time greats in his prime.
Congratulations, Joker!! 👏👏
Well deserved jokic!!!!!
Great passes, lethal shooter, all around great player.
Man i hope Jokic gets a few rings before his time is done. The Nuggets better not fuck up this up by not getting this guy some REAL help. You got the MVP playing with Aaron Gordon as the 2nd option while the rest of the leagues top teams are stacked.
So rare to see a big man with this kind of game IQ. Imagine Shaq with this kind of game sense. Crazy stuff.
