The Joker is my favorite player since Shaq was in his prime... it's fun to see him on the court and I just hope he'll be on a team that can take care of the talent around him. I wish he was together with Luca because I think they would be unbeatable
Shaq was a diva couldn't win wo all time help needed Kobe to constantly bail him out and then got a zebra run in 06. Hopped around like LBJ lol. Sensitive and can't take criticism and knows joker is better

@@skap_attack Murray is a 27 PPG playoff scorer the last two seasons. He had 28 points in the first half of Game 7 vs the Twolves, a game that Jokic failed to close. I've never seen goalposts consistently moved for a player this much in my 20 years of watching basketball
@@rockysalvatore7352 Giannis won a ship with Middleton as his #2. Now, I love Khris but let's not act like he is a world-beater. Steph won with ANDREW WIGGINS as his #2. Why is everyone acting like Jokic is unprecedently carrying when others have done the same damn thing? Gordon, MPJ, and Murray alone are all great
The Nuggets are 7-0 on the second game of back-to-backs this year, 4 of which were road games, and their point differential in those games is +137. On at least one day's rest, they are 13-14 with a -17 point differential. I don't understand my team at all.
Jokic should be the face of the NBA right now. I don't care if he's from overseas and yet the NBA is becoming blended by a lot of talented overseas players
Jokic isn't being helped by denver and may he wont win 2 more rings but we got to see what he's being doing this last 6 years, carrying a team every year to west semfinals 5 out of 6 years, thats his greatness, only last 2 seasons he had a decent team to fight for everything and he won a chip
Seldom have I been more conflicted than now. I love Jokic as a player, but I'm an OKC fan with respect for Boston lol. I wany everyone to win what matters (MVP, rings), but I know that's just not possible. It's an outright shame that Jokic's best season is virtually overlooked by the powers that be (in part bc of his subpar team, although for them that's a copout) and that it's concurrent with another all time season by another great player
@rockysalvatore7352 none of you mavs fans can talk about flopping when you're led by Luka. He's also top 5 in whining which is a shame bc he's also also top 5 in calls gotten. The Finals exposed you guys for what you really were: lucky and happy to be there since your role players caught a hot streak. The Finals also showed the world just how unnecessarily shitty a defender Luka is and added fuel to the fire of why many don't like him 🤷
Jokić is NOW, Wembenyama is a FUTURE. Both are hardworking all-around players, standing hard on the ground and allows their plays to speak for them. If ever those two combine in one team we can clearly say that a championship dynasty was born for decade. Greetings from basketball from Poland. I growed up watching greats like prime Jordan battling against Bad Boys Pistons, Kobe & Shaq, Stockton and Malone,KG, Webber, Allen Iverson, Reggie Miller, Tim Duncan and Spurs dynasty at the end... Those were the best times for the basketball. I am so happy that the drought caused by 3pt shooting seems to come to an ends thanks to those two European fellas.
If this season of Jokic doesn't remind you of 2006 Lakers with Kobe idk what does. Jokic would be happy with Smush Parker and Lamar Odom at this point.
@@Zal8888 Russ is not worth what they traded him for. He's an inefficient shooter and turnover merchant. Russ needs to stop taking 3s, focus on defence, fast breaks and slashing to the rim. Murray is overrated. His performance in the playoffs last year was abyssmal, and he's not even an all-star caliber player most nights. Skap Attack has made multiple videos on how bad Murray is for this team, especially for the amount of money they pay him. Go watch some of Skap's videos on Murray he's made many of them.
@ Murray is a playoff player and he is a big reason why the Nuggets won Jokic is Shaq and Murray is Kobe in the playoffs. Russ is Russ we all know this but when he played for the Lakers everyone had these crazy expectations. Now he isn’t wortg anything but Nuggets fans say start him.
Murray averages 27 PPG in the last two playoffs & Gordon is an All-NBA level defender, y'all are ridiculous to act like he doesn't have great players. Jokic allows the highest FG% at the rim of any starting center and Denver is bottom 10 defense
The fact that the nba didn’t have Jokic vs wemby on national television instead having LeBron flopping his ass all over court is but one reason why nba is failing
We all know that if he wasn't White, none of this would be an issue. I agree with Whitlock that racial idolatry is a problem in sports and in general. This is coming a Black woman. With that being said, I am prepared for the negative onslaught if it comes. Just my opinion. I love your channel, Skap! Thanks for standing up for truth! 🙂
I highly doubt you’ll get any negative backlash, due to it being the truth. It’s like how Dr. Umar said Eminem being considered the GOAT of hip-hop is, “disrespectful”. For some reason, humanity in general generally hates when someone of another race dominates a subject area predominantly filled with another race of people. For example, hip-hop mostly being African American, NBA being mostly African American, the United States in general becoming “less white”, etc. It’s not even JUST sports, and it sucks. Times change, and a minority dominating an area they usually don’t shine in should be celebrated regardless of race/ethnicity.
@CapsFan Yes, like when Tiger started to dominate, I don't remember such outward backlash, but I could be wrong. What I do remember is the press controversy over him acknowledging that he is mixed race and not simply Black. Again, more racial nonsense.
Jokic is both the best player currently in the NBA as well as the most unstoppable. He's going to put up mind-blowing numbers against anyone. The fact that the two games against Wemby weren't better marketed by the league is a crime.
@@ryanamburgy2791he's not leading anything. He's got losing record w no Hart and Chet. No playoffs before Chet. Chris Paul carried him in bubble. 35 year old Chris
The best skill of Jokic, is his mind. And that, doesn't even show on statistics.. He's not good, he's very very good. He is ELITE ! Imagine this guy with Kobe.... No EGOS involved - They would win MORE than 'just' a 3-peat
@@nabster9253 Jokic wouldn't clash with Kobe like Shaq did tho Shaq was a guy who wanted to be the #1 Jokic could have a game with 50 assists and 0 points and he'd be happy with it if the team wins
That would have been pretty amazing! Pau Gasol had a lot of the same skill set that Jokic has and was Kobe's favorite teammate. Again, no ego from Pau. 🏀 🇺🇲
People forget what the term "Valuable" means The Nuggets without Jokic would be a bottom 5-3 team in the league but with him there They have a playoff spot i dont see a superstar if its SGA Tatum Giannis etc whos team would be significantly worse without them like The Nuggets would be without Jokic making him the most 'Valuable' player in the league people like to bring up standings and record mattered with Luka last year but not Jokic thats cause The Mavericks in the regular season were under performing (ofc they proceeded to make the finals) and the nuggets are greatly over performing so yes jokic is the most VALUABLE player in the league
Give SGA the MVP 🤡 I love SGA don’t get me wrong Jay, but this MVP race is not even close. Can you make a video about the NFL playoffs please? Thank you 🙏
For real. I’d love to see Skap tear up the Cowboys for being straight “ASS” and discuss the MVP race that should be Josh Allen’s, but somehow go to Lamar Jackson.
Jokic is amazing. He's proof that previous era stars would be more dominant today. And he has to perform like this in order for the Nuggets to win. Truly carrying them right now
How to expose a Lebron fan. Saw a post on instagram like a week ago showing Jokic surpassing Lebron in triple doubles in only his 9th season. A Lebron fan asked " How many rings he got " Someone replied. " 6 rings " 😅😅😅 Funny how rings all of the sudden matters when Lebron is not compared to Jordan.
@@burtbolivar7146 How about understanding someone who plays basketball with their head. Their contribution to defense is much greater than you are capable of seeing. The problem is that you look at basketball as if it were tennis.
This is going to be an 89 MVP season all over again, where they gave the award to Magic because the Lakers were the 1 seed even though Mike averaged 32.5/8/8 and finished 5th in DPOY, clearly the best player in the world.
He already is at superstardom. And I have nothing but profound respect and love for SGA. His year this year and last year have both been very deserving. Just so happens he’s run up against Jokic.

@@Reaper13-hi3yo I agree bro. Jokic's "TERRIBLE" co-star Jamal had 28 first half points at home and he STILL couldn't get the job done. He is just a big Harden with better efficiency who never had to play Kawhi Spurs, prime Warriors, etc.
I've got a joke... NikoLA is the GOAT! Fun fact "niko" in Serbian means nobody. So when you say NikoLA is the GOAT it also means nobody in LA is the GOAT. 😅
All time valuable season he's having, Valuableness has its variables to it and Jokic DOMinates the equation this season, let alone he'd be in constant voter fatigue for that award in any era on any team just like he is in this one.
No one has criticized Jokic's competition Skap, it is his accolades (or lack-thereof)- AKA his lack of impressive playoff wins, which include 0 series wins over 50 win teams & losing as the reigning champ to a team whose best player was 22 years old in the 2nd round. Wake me up when Jokic beats a 50 win team in the playoffs & wins a legit title against a healthy team. Please keep making videos begging for more help for him though.
No one can ever satisfy the trolls, so never bow to them, and simply ignore them. By the way that's what they hate more than anything, being ignored. SGA will be this year's MVP, and that's fine. Jokic will keep Jokic-ing.
No it's not fine. Sga is nowhere close. Why wasn't he MVP candidate in 23? Why the next year?? Chet is your answer not sga. Chet before hartenstein was more valuable to OKC than sga when other was hurt
@@rockysalvatore7352 I agree on the candidates like Chet, but Jokic has three MPVs already, so he has been recognized, which is why I say it's fine. Plus, "they" (whoever they are) will give it to whomever they want, not necessarily to the one most worthy.
Jokic already won 3 straight MVPs. If he can just get 2 more in his career, I don't care if Lebron has more rings, I'll have Jokic higher than Lebron on my list of all time greats.
20-14 and the 4th seed is not trash! The Nuggets will most likely move up to the 2nd or 3rd season. The Thunder are the better team and will no doubt finish as the number 1 seed. Jokic is by far the best player in the league. I would love to see him, Giannis, and SGA get more shine and coverage by the mainstream media.
@@phenomenal-fitness me too. And while 50 wins and the 3 or 4 seed isn’t “bad”, the Thunder will win 70 this year. I thought Denver could get to 55 and the Thunder would be near 65. Jokić could the mvp there. But if the Thunder win 20 more games, no way the writers are giving Jokic a 4th. They’re looking for any reason to take it from him. That would be it.
I know these are highlights from his play, but I can honestly say watching him play in the post and use jump hooks, drop steps and footwork was a surprise considering the state of basketball currently. I was unaware that people still used these proven tactics for scoring buckets.
Do y’all remember back in 2011-2012 season the big story of the year was “the dying breed of 20 & 10 big men”? All they used to talk about was that just 1 or 2 big men put up 20ppg and 10rpg that season(Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard) and they all thought that was dying out. Now look, we got big men averaging over 30 and well over. 10 a game ALONG with huge assist numbers 🤯🤯
They're doing anything to hate 🃏. These bigs are more impressive bc they have to guard the perimeter too, the modern perimeter at that and we know how much you can do in the Curry era if you're perimeter
The big thing about Jokic is he can play the same kind of basketball for many more seasons if he wants to. He doesn't rely on athleticism and doesn't jump at all, which minimises risk of injury. He seems like the guy that goes 9-5 each day, works like a horse and is distracted very little from work. Very big difference from the current social media generation. Honestly, the only guys that can rival him in near future are Wemby and SGA (aided by Chet).
Jokic is currently the best in the world and only Giannis is close, but holy shit I don't think anyone expected Wemby to be THIS good this soon lmao, its like dude was put on this planet to end the Jordan vs Lebron debates once and for all
If you don't double Jokic, he will score on anyone. If you double him, he has the vision and play making skill to make the right pass. Which is why it's criminal the Nuggets aren't improving the team around him, especially the bench.
Please explain to me how team performance plays a factor? Isn't MVP the most valuable player for his team? Getting good individual stats with a really.good team is easier so shouldn't that rather be something that can be held against them rather than the opposite? Who is the most important player for their team - Isn't that what the trophy is rewarding?
Jokic is the definition of Most Valuable Player, without him the Denver would be 5-29

Im honestly starting to consider him the GOAT at his position. Dudes gone on a crazy run these last couple years, out the league in a choke hold.
Goat peak
Nope. Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Bill and Shaq all > jokic.
The Joker is my favorite player since Shaq was in his prime... it's fun to see him on the court and I just hope he'll be on a team that can take care of the talent around him. I wish he was together with Luca because I think they would be unbeatable
Shaq was a diva couldn't win wo all time help needed Kobe to constantly bail him out and then got a zebra run in 06. Hopped around like LBJ lol. Sensitive and can't take criticism and knows joker is better
@@rockysalvatore7352 First, he won a championship before Kobe did after the trade... Second, I was talking about watching him play, not his character off the court
Jokic leads in every major stat against shai yet people still hate on him. Sadly they dont realize that after jokic there might never be a player like him again. Enjoy watching him while you can. He's a real mvp
The same ppl glazing Edwards are desperate to do it with sgai we all know why. Not hoops. Aura...
@rockysalvatore7352 true. Very true and it's stupid
He does lead in every major stat but they are all pretty close
@ryanamburgy2791 one is a guard who should be shooting high percent and other is a center leading a league in 3pt shots made.
Edit: I meant 3pt %
@djakela4124 yeah I have no clue why Jokic is now an insane 3 point shooter. To be fair though, Shai is only like 1% behind Jokic in TS%
The double standards are always in favour of certain guys like Lebron, but for Jokic, its the opposite
“Calling out double standards is an example of white supremacy.” - Ken Perkins, probably
What’s the double standard
@@Tayxsupreme Constantly repeating how he doesn't play defense. While he is Top 5 in defensive rebounds, deflections, box outs, and top 10 in steals. What kind of defense do LBJ, Curry, Durant or Kyrie play?
Why you forget bias for Steph too?? Why he has goat bench and they lose
@@AVAXII centers are required to have defense or post presence since they are the anchors of the defense . Lebron at least, played high level defense from 2003-2015. KD became a solid defender over his career although not a “stopper” . Curry nor Kyrie were ever known for defensive abilities .
Jokic if he wins a ring this season has already surpassed the fraud king's legacy imo
He won’t and you know it
Jokic will only be talked about and remembered by his fanboys.

A Championship is what Jokic needs right now not the MVP
Agreed. But realistically he won’t be competing for those ever as long as Jamal Murray is the second option on that team.
@@skap_attack Unless Murray gets his head out of his ass and starts playing good basketball again that is.
@@skap_attackyou should make a video short on just how much better Denver would be if they stopped playing Murray and compare it to stars how they didn't have a guy weigh them down be their star duo. Steph LBJ sga Gianni's, did they ever carry a Murray
@@skap_attack Murray is a 27 PPG playoff scorer the last two seasons. He had 28 points in the first half of Game 7 vs the Twolves, a game that Jokic failed to close.
I've never seen goalposts consistently moved for a player this much in my 20 years of watching basketball
@@rockysalvatore7352 Giannis won a ship with Middleton as his #2. Now, I love Khris but let's not act like he is a world-beater. Steph won with ANDREW WIGGINS as his #2. Why is everyone acting like Jokic is unprecedently carrying when others have done the same damn thing? Gordon, MPJ, and Murray alone are all great
The Nuggets are 7-0 on the second game of back-to-backs this year, 4 of which were road games, and their point differential in those games is +137. On at least one day's rest, they are 13-14 with a -17 point differential. I don't understand my team at all.
That is an ABSURD stat. And you’re right, it makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. It’s backwards.
I can hear you voice typing that @@skap_attack

Ваистину брате!
i love how ppl say jokic's numbers aint legit cause ppl dont play defense today, but lebron + currys numbers are legit tho - smh
Exactly the biggest losers in history are legit but the biggest winner isn't??
Jokic isn't being helped by denver and may he wont win 2 more rings but we got to see what he's being doing this last 6 years, carrying a team every year to west semfinals 5 out of 6 years, thats his greatness, only last 2 seasons he had a decent team to fight for everything and he won a chip
He's in deepest era too but is only player w no depth. Why is it that everyone but him is able to have depth?? Calvin is set by the league to nerf him
Jokic is definitely achieving new heights
Seldom have I been more conflicted than now. I love Jokic as a player, but I'm an OKC fan with respect for Boston lol.
I wany everyone to win what matters (MVP, rings), but I know that's just not possible.
It's an outright shame that Jokic's best season is virtually overlooked by the powers that be (in part bc of his subpar team, although for them that's a copout) and that it's concurrent with another all time season by another great player
OKC is the worst team to watch outside your bigs. Flops galore and push offs. Dallas series mada a lot of us hate em.
@rockysalvatore7352 none of you mavs fans can talk about flopping when you're led by Luka. He's also top 5 in whining which is a shame bc he's also also top 5 in calls gotten.
The Finals exposed you guys for what you really were: lucky and happy to be there since your role players caught a hot streak.
The Finals also showed the world just how unnecessarily shitty a defender Luka is and added fuel to the fire of why many don't like him 🤷
Jokić is NOW, Wembenyama is a FUTURE.
Both are hardworking all-around players, standing hard on the ground and allows their plays to speak for them.
If ever those two combine in one team we can clearly say that a championship dynasty was born for decade.
Greetings from basketball from Poland. I growed up watching greats like prime Jordan battling against Bad Boys Pistons, Kobe & Shaq, Stockton and Malone,KG, Webber, Allen Iverson, Reggie Miller, Tim Duncan and Spurs dynasty at the end...
Those were the best times for the basketball. I am so happy that the drought caused by 3pt shooting seems to come to an ends thanks to those two European fellas.
If this season of Jokic doesn't remind you of 2006 Lakers with Kobe idk what does. Jokic would be happy with Smush Parker and Lamar Odom at this point.
What happend to Russ? What happened to Murray the guy he never won without?
@@Zal8888 Russ is not worth what they traded him for. He's an inefficient shooter and turnover merchant. Russ needs to stop taking 3s, focus on defence, fast breaks and slashing to the rim.
Murray is overrated. His performance in the playoffs last year was abyssmal, and he's not even an all-star caliber player most nights. Skap Attack has made multiple videos on how bad Murray is for this team, especially for the amount of money they pay him. Go watch some of Skap's videos on Murray he's made many of them.
@ Murray is a playoff player and he is a big reason why the Nuggets won Jokic is Shaq and Murray is Kobe in the playoffs. Russ is Russ we all know this but when he played for the Lakers everyone had these crazy expectations. Now he isn’t wortg anything but Nuggets fans say start him.
Murray averages 27 PPG in the last two playoffs & Gordon is an All-NBA level defender, y'all are ridiculous to act like he doesn't have great players. Jokic allows the highest FG% at the rim of any starting center and Denver is bottom 10 defense
@@Zal8888look at Russ production and era he's in. Compare to LA and GS help
Get em', Skap! Love the content. Keep up the great work. ⚒️
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
The fact that the nba didn’t have Jokic vs wemby on national television instead having LeBron flopping his ass all over court is but one reason why nba is failing
I want this dude to get more rings
We all know that if he wasn't White, none of this would be an issue. I agree with Whitlock that racial idolatry is a problem in sports and in general. This is coming a Black woman. With that being said, I am prepared for the negative onslaught if it comes. Just my opinion. I love your channel, Skap! Thanks for standing up for truth! 🙂
I highly doubt you’ll get any negative backlash, due to it being the truth. It’s like how Dr. Umar said Eminem being considered the GOAT of hip-hop is, “disrespectful”. For some reason, humanity in general generally hates when someone of another race dominates a subject area predominantly filled with another race of people. For example, hip-hop mostly being African American, NBA being mostly African American, the United States in general becoming “less white”, etc. It’s not even JUST sports, and it sucks. Times change, and a minority dominating an area they usually don’t shine in should be celebrated regardless of race/ethnicity.
@CapsFan Yes, like when Tiger started to dominate, I don't remember such outward backlash, but I could be wrong. What I do remember is the press controversy over him acknowledging that he is mixed race and not simply Black. Again, more racial nonsense.
@CapsFan only when blk is overrated. Just like Lin Bird showed then Luka then Joker
Jokic is both the best player currently in the NBA as well as the most unstoppable. He's going to put up mind-blowing numbers against anyone.
The fact that the two games against Wemby weren't better marketed by the league is a crime.
40k points: "gOaT"
most missed and TOs: "lONgEvITy"
Rent free🤦🏿♂️
The haters are just jealous of what Jokic does so much better than their stars.
His numbers is insane.
Can Nikola Jokic have a statue outside of Denver already. This man is insane
If free throw merchant Shai gets MVP it's another ratings blow to NBA 💀
Jokic is amazing, but Shai is leading his team to a likely 65+ wins and is putting up slightly worse, but still extremely good stats.
You don’t know ball

Imagine this guy with Kobe.... No EGOS involved - They would win MORE than 'just' a 3-peat
That would be a monster performance, every night. Kobe with Jokic. Now that's a dream team right there.
Kobe and no ego 😂
@@nabster9253
Jokic wouldn't clash with Kobe like Shaq did tho
Shaq was a guy who wanted to be the #1
Jokic could have a game with 50 assists and 0 points and he'd be happy with it if the team wins
Jokic would average 18/15/25 😂
That would have been pretty amazing! Pau Gasol had a lot of the same skill set that Jokic has and was Kobe's favorite teammate. Again, no ego from Pau. 🏀 🇺🇲
as a laker fan, jokic will continue to be my favorite player in the nba. He just goes out and balls and go home. He is efficient from everywhere.
People forget what the term "Valuable" means The Nuggets without Jokic would be a bottom 5-3 team in the league but with him there They have a playoff spot i dont see a superstar if its SGA Tatum Giannis etc whos team would be significantly worse without them like The Nuggets would be without Jokic making him the most 'Valuable' player in the league people like to bring up standings and record mattered with Luka last year but not Jokic thats cause The Mavericks in the regular season were under performing (ofc they proceeded to make the finals) and the nuggets are greatly over performing so yes jokic is the most VALUABLE player in the league
Sgay fans can't debate
We’d be saying “ jokic is going for 5 in a row “ if Embiid didn’t cry his way to the mvp .
Give SGA the MVP 🤡
I love SGA don’t get me wrong Jay, but this MVP race is not even close.
Can you make a video about the NFL playoffs please? Thank you 🙏
For real. I’d love to see Skap tear up the Cowboys for being straight “ASS” and discuss the MVP race that should be Josh Allen’s, but somehow go to Lamar Jackson.
As a Patriots fan shut up. This is a hoops channel. Go Lions. That's it
@@rockysalvatore7352This is actually a sports channel. Look at his channel streamer. It just happens that he talks about basketball too much.

How to expose a Lebron fan. Saw a post on instagram like a week ago showing Jokic surpassing Lebron in triple doubles in only his 9th season.
A Lebron fan asked " How many rings he got "
Someone replied. " 6 rings "

Remove SGA from the Thunder and they'd still make the playoffs. Remove Jokic from the Nuggets and they'd be bottom of the barrel, tanking.
Yep. Especially w Chet and Hart together. Yikes
I wouldnt be mad if SGA gets the MVP..that dude is about to hit superstardom soon
He already is at superstardom. And I have nothing but profound respect and love for SGA. His year this year and last year have both been very deserving. Just so happens he’s run up against Jokic.
@skap_attack agreed. Jokic deserves that Embiid MVP and should be the front runner for it until further notice..just give it to him the next 5 years in a row 🤣

All time valuable season he's having, Valuableness has its variables to it and Jokic DOMinates the equation this season, let alone he'd be in constant voter fatigue for that award in any era on any team just like he is in this one.
No one has criticized Jokic's competition Skap, it is his accolades (or lack-thereof)- AKA his lack of impressive playoff wins, which include 0 series wins over 50 win teams & losing as the reigning champ to a team whose best player was 22 years old in the 2nd round.
Wake me up when Jokic beats a 50 win team in the playoffs & wins a legit title against a healthy team.
Please keep making videos begging for more help for him though.
Damn he keeps this up he gonna win another mvp
Bro who hating...he been killing it
No one can ever satisfy the trolls, so never bow to them, and simply ignore them. By the way that's what they hate more than anything, being ignored.
SGA will be this year's MVP, and that's fine. Jokic will keep Jokic-ing.
No it's not fine. Sga is nowhere close. Why wasn't he MVP candidate in 23? Why the next year?? Chet is your answer not sga. Chet before hartenstein was more valuable to OKC than sga when other was hurt
@@rockysalvatore7352 I agree on the candidates like Chet, but Jokic has three MPVs already, so he has been recognized, which is why I say it's fine. Plus, "they" (whoever they are) will give it to whomever they want, not necessarily to the one most worthy.
Jokic already won 3 straight MVPs. If he can just get 2 more in his career, I don't care if Lebron has more rings, I'll have Jokic higher than Lebron on my list of all time greats.
20-14 and the 4th seed is not trash! The Nuggets will most likely move up to the 2nd or 3rd season. The Thunder are the better team and will no doubt finish as the number 1 seed. Jokic is by far the best player in the league. I would love to see him, Giannis, and SGA get more shine and coverage by the mainstream media.
@@phenomenal-fitness me too. And while 50 wins and the 3 or 4 seed isn’t “bad”, the Thunder will win 70 this year. I thought Denver could get to 55 and the Thunder would be near 65. Jokić could the mvp there. But if the Thunder win 20 more games, no way the writers are giving Jokic a 4th. They’re looking for any reason to take it from him. That would be it.
Jokic is phenomenal
If he get cheated I'm done with taking awards seriously
I know these are highlights from his play, but I can honestly say watching him play in the post and use jump hooks, drop steps and footwork was a surprise considering the state of basketball currently. I was unaware that people still used these proven tactics for scoring buckets.
Tracy McGrady: "He's the best player in the league!"
What about the on and off field stat? Y wasn't that mentioned when comparing Jokic and SGA?
Joker clears and they did. Jalen is near sga on that where no one close to joker. Sga can't win wo Chet or Hart.
@rockysalvatore7352 Thank you for the update. I just mentioned it cause Skap said it was the stat he focuses on the most.
Thank you Skap for never letting us forget how good Jokic is!!!
Jokic is the best. Love his game
Best player of the 2020s and one of the best ever
Do y’all remember back in 2011-2012 season the big story of the year was “the dying breed of 20 & 10 big men”? All they used to talk about was that just 1 or 2 big men put up 20ppg and 10rpg that season(Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard) and they all thought that was dying out. Now look, we got big men averaging over 30 and well over. 10 a game ALONG with huge assist numbers 🤯🤯
They're doing anything to hate 🃏. These bigs are more impressive bc they have to guard the perimeter too, the modern perimeter at that and we know how much you can do in the Curry era if you're perimeter
The big thing about Jokic is he can play the same kind of basketball for many more seasons if he wants to. He doesn't rely on athleticism and doesn't jump at all, which minimises risk of injury. He seems like the guy that goes 9-5 each day, works like a horse and is distracted very little from work. Very big difference from the current social media generation. Honestly, the only guys that can rival him in near future are Wemby and SGA (aided by Chet).
Jokic is currently the best in the world and only Giannis is close, but holy shit I don't think anyone expected Wemby to be THIS good this soon lmao, its like dude was put on this planet to end the Jordan vs Lebron debates once and for all
Giannis isn't even the second best player in the world stop glazing him. Jokic is clear #1, SGA is clear #2, Giannis is clear #3
@@ryanamburgy2791sga is clearly on best roster and isn't close. Never made playoffs wo stacked team. Losers wo his bigs carried by old Chris
The MVP is about the value the player brings to his team, not the team record. If Jokic got hurt, the Nuggets might not win another game
If you don't double Jokic, he will score on anyone. If you double him, he has the vision and play making skill to make the right pass. Which is why it's criminal the Nuggets aren't improving the team around him, especially the bench.
Jokic is the best center in the NBA right now
You mean goat
If Jokić continues this dominant course NBA should not allow another MVP fraud.
He is alltime MVP at the moment. No contest.
The real MVP.
“Again, is that any good?” Lol. Its insanely good.
Great video. I love it 😂😂😂
Please explain to me how team performance plays a factor?
Isn't MVP the most valuable player for his team? Getting good individual stats with a really.good team is easier so shouldn't that rather be something that can be held against them rather than the opposite?
Who is the most important player for their team - Isn't that what the trophy is rewarding?
