What do you think makes Jokic so hard to guard?
best passing big man. nuggets win more often when jokic gets 11-16 assists as opposed to 40 pts.
to beat nuggets, you have to force jokic to be the primary scorer.
he will shoot 16 of 23, but that wouldn't win the game if the others are 3 of 11 or 5 of 15 with joke having 4 assists.
He is committed to always getting better, and he comes from a place where the style of basketball increases reversals and an increase in just playing the game the right way taking only what it gives you. He us willing to ALWAYS make the right play no matter what his stats look like. He just cares about winning. It's hard to guard or beat a guy like that. Plus he's lost a lot of weight but he'd still a tall thick big man who can literally wear you out by leaning on ya. He's just unguardable no matter what you throw at him now.
@@gicueN17R0the league is trying to slow him down especially the referees jokic rather put 10 points and get 20 assists rather than go for 35 10 20 if jokic wanted to get 45 points a game he could but why not let ur teammates get involved
It's Jokic basketball IQ that makes him unstoppable. James Worthy said he'd rather guard Michael Jordan than Larry Bird because he only had to react against MJ and had to think as well as react when guarding Bird. Here's the scary part... Jokic consistently is among the league leaders in touches but ranks middle region in usage and turnover s. This shows that he reads and reacts more quickly and decisively than anyone currently in the NBA, with relatively a fraction of the turnovers you'd expect from the epicenter of the Nuggets offense.
The media is already crying for embid to win the Mvp or anyone else as long as it is not the joker. Id say just it to them😂😂. Lets just wait for joker in the playoffs instead.
To mention all those stats happened with two shady ejections
If the NBA put all the players back into a draft pool tomorrow, there's not a coach in the league that wouldn't draft Jokic first. He is the ultimate cornerstone around which to build. He is smarter than the coaches because he can actually think about AND execute the play to perfection. Coaches just draw it up. Jokic is an enigma that will be written about for decades. His dominance is undeniable and his style is all his own. But, going forward, every big man coming up through the ranks will be forced to watch hours and hours of Jokic so they can do just half of what he does. He is redefining his position while being the most dominant force in the league. That alone puts him in the Top 20 players of all time. But he will not finish there. Once he has multiple championships under his belt, his greatness will be too much to deny. He has a legitimate shot at being the GOAT!
I agree that no coach "should" take anyone other than Jokic. But there's still plenty of organizations still looking for their "hero ball" superstar instead of putting together the best team.
He is insane and fun to watch. I actually like watching him much better than Lebron.
Labron is the WWE player of the NBA. He brings that WWE soapy drama... the NBA Queen 👸
Jokic is the best all time. 😊
kid from serbia spotted😂
Maybe not yet, but if he stays at this level for a few more years, I think there is an argument for it.
Jokic plays for Denver a small market, not much $ or population watching them so media panders to covering big markets and their stars: LA, Dallas, Philly, etc. His style is simple (yet deadly) so not flashy for posterizing and more publicity. His attitude and personal style is also simple, workmanlike- cares about home, family, horses etc. doesn't hype the NBA and being a star over team play and wins. So is low key, not 'Star' qualities the media likes to cover. Also he's Serbian, Americans tend to be 'ethnocentric', not so ecstatic about 'foreigners'. Lack of media coverage supports that attitude.
Denver isn’t really small market. They are medium, approaching big, because a lot of the Mountain West doesn’t have a solid team to back. I think it’s definitely more due to Jokic’s style. A guy like Kyrie gets so much attention simply because he is flashy and immensely talented, but he isn’t as ruthlessly efficient as Joker. He gets the ball and maybe doesn’t move much, but makes a pass or absorbs pressure and finds a man open for an easy bucket. If your team is behind it becomes impossible to catch the Nuggets and the frustration builds and affects play.
Jokic is really a new type of player who is changing how teams are formatted, and the commentary is locked into a style of play that began to fade years ago. Jokic is the future, for big men at the very least. So, tl;dr, I don’t think it’s the market really; the commentators like watching a certain type of player (Durant) and that player will always get attention no matter what size market they are in (OKC). I bet Anthony Edwards is next in this category, and while Minnesota is probably the biggest medium market team, they aren’t considered a big market team.
He doesn't trash talk, or strut around bumping chests after every shot. This is the kind of acting or drama, these American sports channels want for more viewers. Unfortunately. Plus they all are in denial of a Serbian dominating the sport, mentally and physically.
@@KevinPatz-pn2gsthat kind of denial has led the Western media to artificially turn Novak Djokovic into a villain in tennis. He shut them down by becoming the GOAT tennis player. Jokic, I think, has the ability to do the same in the long run - force them to acknowledge him.
@@davidcaspian Also, in this day and age talking about the 'small markets' is ludicrous. Anyone on the face of the world can watch pretty much any game, buy teams merch etc. Ticket sales are the least important in the teams earnings. Nobody talks about the Green Bay being a small market but for NBA it's be all end all. Such a dumb argument.
@@z.nastoski7055 As an American, I love it! A winning NBA Franchise doesn't ignore talent, like these biased analysts. European players give hope to people of different backgrounds, Nationalities, or ethnicities that they can also compete at a high level. They think Ignoring their contributions will break them, but it fuels their determination to perform at their best!
Its so sad that the media and the NBA establishment want jokic to fail so bad. Makes me want him to win even more.
Try to connect the dots between Nikola Tesla, Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic. Deep dive. You'll find a real epic fantasy movie. And if you reaally go deep down the rabbit hole, you'll find even more.
The best...want it or not !!! He is a mix of magic Johnson and wilt Chamberlain... Maybe not Chamberlain but a good Kareem abdu jabbar ! Love his style, cool !!
They don't like Jokic... NBA is mad on him.
The Joker slept on by the refs too - except when they eject him for no real reason.
When coach Pop spend the term "magnificent" for Jockc you gotta weigh carefully his place in the NBA, you cannot ignore him so lightly.
Everyone commented on his lack of athleticism failing to recognize his IQ superiority has to be equal to the discrepancies in athleticism for him to produce these results
It depends what u think is athleticism. To me Jokic is very athletic. U can't do the stuff he does if u ain't athletic, smart brains are not enough alone. U also need the skill to pull all the stuff off that he does. Athleticism is more then jumping ability or being faster then others.
@@takoja507 It's not just about whether you can do something, but how useful it is. Jokić can jump very well and be athletic in that sense as well. But the question arises, why would he do it, if he doesn't have to, if there is no benefit from it. Except maybe some people would like it. On the other hand, it might be harmful to his body, stressing his joints, tendons and ligaments, increasing the possibility of injuries, and contributing to the shortening of his career.
@@borislavkrstic6366 I know. He is smart athletic guy. Isn't that what I said?
One of his teammates recently said Jokic is very athletic to move and control his body the way he does at nearly 7 feet in height. I agree.
@@takoja507My comment was not meant to negate what you wrote. On the contrary, it is more about supporting and adding to your comment.
Joker will cement his status once for all very soon, next to MJ Mamba Magic and Shaq...in the end of the season will be interesting to see and compare the entire team's performance to other teams that have an MVP contender...I think it will be funny to compare because Joker's merit will be immeasurable with others!!
Do you really believe that Jokić cares about statistics. He was one rebound or assist short of a triple-double a lot of games - when you saw him trying to reach it. Jokić loves competition, but he is not selfish, he respects his teammates. He likes to win, but he always puts the team first. Jokić does not try to be a big star, he is great with his playing and human potential.
I'm sure Jokic has no idea about his statistics during the game. He only finds out when someone tells him.
Perkins new strategy of dissing Jokic is to praise the Nuggets to high heaven as a team, so that he can explain away the Nuggets' success without praising Jokic.
Dumb strategy, because Jokic only cares about his team winning.
@@sincorddnb9155
For some reason the only thing Perkins obsesses about is the MVP trophy.
@@sincorddnb9155Perk has never been the smartest guy in the room. He's so dumb he hasn't figured that out. Makes me wonder what else his nimble brain would do for a dollar?
Yokic is the GOAT OF ALL GOATS!!
Who cares about appeal?!!!
Look at the numbers!!
Okay fine you want appeal??!!
Look at his passes!!
Thing is other guys have spurts here and there but Jokic just does it again and again and again.
To try to answer your question "why is Jokic so hard to guard":
IMO - it's because he's the most complete basketball player skills-wise and has the highest bb IQ in the league. Pair that with him being completely team oriented and only focused on wining - and you get the uber-efficient offensive machine.
It's a cliche I know - but Jokic does make everyone better and not just that he creates opportunities - he forces you to be better. There's no other way to play next to him. It's contagious and directional.
He MAKES you play better basketball.
His sheer PRESENCE on the court sets the tone and focuses the team. He recently had a triple-single... completely unusual for him - but he orchestrated the whole offense and the team blew-out the opponent.
The number of passes, assists, hokey-assists in that game is just stunning. The way he was screening, blitzing and setting up plays was just brilliant. He just made the team play the perfect team-ball and that's unstoppable.
The confidence and identity (the way team plays, attitude, decisions) he instills in his team mates is unique in this league.
I hope this helps explain.
Also - it does explain the other question "why is media silent" - there's no wasted time or effort on "flashy" things. It's all about efficiency. Getting the job done. Winning.
Media is all about creating and milking "brands" - and they're lazy at that. "Give me a tomahawk, or a poster, or a logo shot, aggressive block so i can run a highlight and create clicks easy... don't give me anything cerebral that I can't easily sell and sometimes can't even understand" - and Jokic does exactly opposite. Media, the way it is - with the talent they have, cannot but quietly dislike him.
It's a combination of laziness, inability to see/understand, and in many cases - sheer envy. Not to mention the quiet racism, xenophobia and primitive turf-protection.
You forgot that he has eyes in the back of his head. 😊
@@rodleyeriffe9149 True that. But, bottom line, it's about the brass cojones and a monster Johnson. :)
Jokic is overlooked because he is “boring”, yet I love watching him
you should look up old Bill Walton highlights when he was with the Blazers. Very Jokic-esque minus the 3pt line. Walton might be the greatest college player of all time as well. 86-4 during his tenure at UCLA
But he’s not boring. He’s very exciting. Does lots of unanticipated things that are amazing, especially passing.
Jokić não será lembrado por enterradas ou milhões de pontos, mas por seu altruísmo, inteligência e coletividade.
Joker was deprived last season's by the voter's who listened to the race baiting Perkins. Joker is the best player in the NBA.
Great work 👌
Take this as an effective rule: If some one agrees with the sports media clowns you know his knowledge and understanding about basketball is really really poor.
Lebron is the problem. As long as he's around the NBA media is going to be trying to craft narratives around him, and young talent that outshines him regularly is super inconvenient when they're just praying that LB might get another ring even though his last one was a joke.
Embid leads the league in free throws at 11.6 FTA/ game lol .jokic at 5.9 FTA.
🃏Nikola🃏
He will never play showman basketball, everything they are is about crowning kings, he removed all their crown making,... and very very very calmly.
I think you're pulling on the right loose thread when you say Jokic doesn't feature all the high-flying dunks or flashy step-backs. To me, it has a lot to do with his physique and the technique in how he handles the ball when shooting or passing.
So often, players are praised for looking the part of a star before they've proven themselves to be effective. Like, Deandre Ayton is such a large and chiseled muscle man that of course he'd be drafted over the Slovenian who's already proven more and plays at a more valuable position. Or look at all the players about whom scouts have gushed, "what a pretty shot" -- like Ben McLemore -- even though their shots never seem to go down.
Jokic, in contrast, still looks like he's lumbering and out of shape even though he's clearly moving at just as high a gear as the other big men. His passes and shots often look more like he's flipping the ball around, or even playing water polo, than like he ever did a skills drill at hoops camp. And because he doesn't look the part, all these basketball commentators just don't seem to process the fact of how effective he is. It's like their brains break when they look at him, so they go back to praising the players they can comprehend. Add to that his apparent aversion for the spotlight, so that he's not exactly going out there and demanding R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and it's easy for them to skip over him. I don't think it's an active disrespect or a calculated decision to ignore Denver's small market; it's just that they've got nothing to say when their minds skip a groove like that.
To me, what really shows his value is that, in addition to all those personal stats, he's the player you'll see who, after a whistle or even in the middle of a play, is telling his teammates where to go. All too few players have such command, both in the sense of authority and of having a handle on the situation, that they can direct professional athletes through the right set without ever coming off as bossy. Because it's not about doing things his way, it's about getting the whole team in place.
Excellent and so right.
The national media has never given anyone on any sports team in Colorado the credit they deserve. Try and explain how the C.U. women basketball team is ranked below the LSU team in the top 25 poll, even though CU destroyed LSU in their opening game and they both only have one loss?
you seriously comparing WOMEN'S college basketball to the NBA? LOLLLLL
JOKIC jus aint black enough
💯🙌
Great video!!!👏
Until Joel makes the finals, I don't want to hear about him. He always had a good regular but dissappear when it matters
The reason is that he is a Serb, simple as that!
What basketball experts? Most of then never touch a ball, or in best case was average role players which nobody remember....
3:45 he was ejected 🤷 before halftime... same thing happened in Chicago. It's like they're trying to sabotage his numbers. 🙄
Jus sayin' ✊
Well sadly I dont think that only his playstyle gets him that bad attention in the media. That Kendrick Perkins dude made it clear where the problem is and as a proof for that he was not fired for saying that things but think about the riots if the roles where swaped! So we are "not popular" these times and we see it in so many movies etc.
Great video
WHY DON'T THEY TALK ABOUT JOKIC IT'S MADDENNINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Jokic amazing
Good think I don't listen to the media ever.
Where did he go?
😂😂Joker SWEPT LeBRON 4-0 IN THE PLAYOFFS 😂😂
Jokic needs to team up with 2 top 15 players like Lebron
The players know who's the best, and so do the coaches, refs, the League!
So, no foul calls for him,, nevermind the most post ups...
2:48 🤣🤣🤣
Subbed
Yet to see greatness stopped by average and thats what most of the Media stars are, average. Media did make the word star the new word for average.
I can't tell if VO is A.I. or Baltimore
#1 period
OK that's it.Ther IS people of Honor in USA.Owner of this Channel is Proof of that.The Same is whit Djokovic.West kan't Accept that High Sportsmann come from small Serbia.But I have News for you all 7 milion Serb's bow afront of one Cobe Briant.
nice
Is simple the joker don’t fed the media. Isn’t curious how Kobe didn’t the same recognition when he was alive? There’s your answer. Kobe won just one MVP. JUST ONE, the media is insane I understand they need content and in this way they will talk more about players that fed they, but there are some trues you can’t denied. Last year mvp is a joke, Jokic doing triple-double day in and day out and the mvp was embid, that the biggest joke in this sport. Westbrook won an mvp bc 3-2 buuuut, everybody saw that, he was forcing so much for those numbers. Jokic make those numbers without hesitation but the MVP goes to another guy…
Much love brotha 🙏💛💙
Espn is pathetic. Even when watching their live games i have it on mute because their commentary is so atrocious. Fox sports 1 has become wanna be espn. He doesnt pander to the media or even let it seem to bother them that the dont mention him. And that kills them.
Dude's over hear watching the games on silent ☠️
@Eastunder ESPNs coverage is horrible top to bottom ... I get excited go watch a game on tnt or even nba TV with local announcers ... but espn? Then they have Greenburg and Stephen A on at halftime? I'd rather listening to the sound of cats fighting with raccoons for scraps of food then those two pretending to know something about sports.
You don’t want the real answer, do you?
Ngl if he get up to 2 blks a game he gone finish top 15 all time
To mogu samo Srbi! 🇷🇸
You…..not…….back……!!!!
❤
He's white.
What I mean is that his whiteness is the reason for his invisibility to the media.
jokic is getting tons of credit in media these days
Not this season
I@@kjthomas4553I've watched so much media coverage on him this year especially when he started on that scoring tear to start the season and rightfully became the MVP front runner. He's slowed down this month but all of November I saw segment after segment on him. This video is pushing false narratives to once again make Joker some sort of victim he is not.
You forgot to mention that he have the lovest pct of free throws, even the oponnents fouled him at least 10 times per game
Nikoflop Jokic
Flopper of the Year
knee-coal-ah
not nicolai
Its a shame that the economics of tge NBA want Jokic to lose and to never be covered
Not sure random clips of media talking about other superstars shouts blatant disrespect to Jokic. You could use the same intro and make a video about the curry or SGA or even Joe Ingles if u wanted to
Uhhhm cuz he's white? Js
its cause he's too close to russia and america doesnt like that lol the world knows
I'm a Jokic fan and watch all Denver games.
Jokic's December numbers show a large drop compared to November:
22.2 pts compared to 29.7 in November, 10.9 reb compared to 13.4 in November, 50% fg% compared to 55% in December.
IMO he is not the MVP favorite as of now, Embiid, Giannis and Luka are ahead of him.
I really don't understand this obsession with MVP and statistics. Wouldn't it be nice if it wasn't talked about during the season, and when the season is over, to decide who is the MVP. Wouldn't it be nicer to discuss the game itself and everything that makes the game beautiful..
@@borislavkrstic6366 Well this video is about Jokic being the best player.
As of now he is not IMO. We will see how the season unfolds.
numbers??? yes thanks to the several games he was ejected...so stop looking at numbers because without those ejected games he was averaging a triple double..
last season EMBIID at this time had a losing record...SIXERS had a winning record but not EMBIID...EMBIID fans and media said that the 1st months dont matter...guess this season the narrative changed and now MVP is already a thing since 1st week
@@onlyfacts3178 Jokic was ejected once in December and once in November so it has no effect on the comparison.
The drop in production and efficiency is real.
Yeah but Embiid is having the best season. Jokic still gets called the best player on the planet, that's borderline consensus. But it's fine the media is talking more about Joel this year.
last 10 games jokic has not been that dominant.
embiid is the clear king of this season so far.
nobody is even close.
look at his stats amd per
Plays in a weaker conference against weaker centers. Also stays in games when the sixers are up 20 pts in q4
@@michaelfeinberg507 just partly true. they play similar minutes.
jokic do not dominates about the same weak teams as much as embiid.
this season embiid dominates even against strongest teams. look at his match against minnesota..
super impressive. his p.e.r. is just crazy
@@rb9888lol Joel’s best PER is jokics worst 😂😂
@@sergiocano7652 nah. he's beating jokic stat from this season and from previous one.
embiid's numbers are insane
Embiid is going crazy lately and with efficiency. It's going to be hard to beat him for mvp.
Lol embiid he can have the regular season mvp
@sergiocano7652 hope the nuggets can get the bench together before the playoffs start. Today against the small warriors the bench played 60 minutes and got no rebounds, zero. Every bench guy was like minus 15 +/-
This reminds of MJ saying something along the lines of it's my fault i made it look easy. Jokic makes it look effortless. Finesse is what it's called and it is a quality of high calibre player.
Great work 👌
❤Nikola is the most amazing and best team player❤Go Nuggets
NBA is just show. Pleasing viewers. Things Joker does are not attractive to average viewers. Unless they are Nuggets fans. This is why Europeans are making their way in NBA, they are focused at game not the show. You want your team to win, get yourself an European.
Jokic is amazing no doubt but there HAD to be a better example for his offensive prowess other than his outing against the last place team in the west and arguably one of the worst teams in all of basketball in the San Antonio Spurs pretty sure almost everyone is picking them apart
Answer to video question: Racism.
Denver isn't LA or NY. Number of fans is how the media ranks players because fans = viewers.
This is the kind of BS Adam Silver pointed out when he sat down on JJ Redick's podcast when these talking heads talk about basic stats and personalities, instead of complexities of "the game" like offensive and defensive schemes.
These videos are crazyyyyyyyyy these guys are alwayssssssww talking about Jokic. These "woe is me" Joker videos are so head scratching. You just ignore the dozens upon dozens of segments about Joker to make a pointless point and perpetuate a false narrative.
