His IQ is off the chart... The dude can score at any level, very consistent shooter and his court vision is something else. In my opinion, the best big man. People say he can't defend, but look how many deflections he has. He can't outjump you, but he defends with his IQ. Very active hands. I'm not saying he is an outstanding defender, but it's not so bad as people say.
My only knock on him till last season was his defense. In the playoffs it's a different level on that end. Anthony Davis looked more than human, got bodied multiple times.

Not gonna lie I used to get a dumbass vibe from MPJ but after listening to some of these podcasts I've realized he's a really smart and well-spoken dude.
Love this team, the patience, playing the right way, and building the institution of team. Jokic is the one and only, but it's so awesome to watch these guys around him buying in, and the basketball that comes out on my screen is so beautiful and fun.

underrated pickup in jeff green too. Incredible role players on this squad. No cap if they healthy, idk why they wouldnt be able to make the WCF this year.
I think he’s gonna make that jump with Murray out for the year most likely probably be 25 and 8 boards a night easily MIP player of the year and a allstar this year coming up
Being from Serbia, I can't really say his brothers are a big thing here. I don't even know their names. I think from basketball perspective, people in Serbia were actually worried that they will bring bad influence on him, knowing their past. Otherwise, they're just cool to watch on the sidelines, all tattooed and everything 😅

For the people saying Carmelo was a better scorer than Jokic in Denver, how? Jokic averaged 26.4ppg last yr shooting 56% from the field and 39% from 3. Carmelo averaged slightly more pts, but was much more inefficient
And people honestly think Larry Bird wouldn't dominate in this era...he's too slow, he's white, he couldn't do in today's game what he did in the 70's and 80's, he played plumbers...these kids are stupid.

.All of them Vucevic,Doncic Jokic,Nurkic both Bogdanovic etc are from different countries but are all pretty much the same people.In basketball terms they are all the part of Yugoslav school of basketball(all around great offense,bad defense,play with out positions until late teens).Best players are the ones who can make basketball plays,and when they say the player is athletic that means he doesn't know how to play.My grandpa who was around basketball in former Yugoslavia since the beginning always said Yugoslavia plays original American basketball but Nba changed basketball in US in something else.He died in the 90s,but if he could see NBA now,he will say that nba is coming back to its roots
It's a big Serbian influence in Basketball in general. Petrovic half Serbian, Doncic half Serbian, Montenegro is Serbia. Coaches players, Pistol Pete Serbian. It's just insane...
Definitely the worst dressing nba player but that’s my guy, He’s a future top 15 player in the world. Been seeing him put in work since Peach Jam his Junior Year
I have. I’ve seen centers like jokic before. Arvydas sabonis was the jokic of his era for sure. How about wilt chamberlain ? Wilt was a hell of a passer for his time, but a much better/more willing passer than jokic. And unlike jokic, wilt was a transcendent ATHLETE as well. And although this guy has a horrific reputation now in the nba, what about demarcus cousins in Sacramento ? Cousins was a big guy who had amazing post skills, could definitely space the floor with his faceup game, and was a great passer for a center. Cousins averaged basically 5 assists as a true C. That’s still pretty good for a non wing/backcourt player
