They removed the nba central post with 5 golds lmfao

Here come the Nuggets fans to tell me he’s a top defensive player even though he’s legitimately stepping to the side to open up the lane

Serious Question: what rules are these Jokic defense posts breaking?
nigsch01
No way, a slow 7 footer that cant jump is getting attacked? Im shocked! Almost as shocked as when i saw an undersized skinny point guard get attacked not too long ago

I’ll give him one thing and say he does a good job not giving up bad fouls or and-1s, but man he looks really bad on some of these.
It’s been pretty clear even the past few seasons that he isn’t a good defender (especially according to Center standards), but the NBA is a league of offense and Jokic creates like 50 points worth of that every game. Record shows that he’s evidently producing a whole lot more than he gives up

I’d copy paste my “he’s not a #1 in a championship team” comment from the NBA Central post, but I don’t need any more DMs from other people mad at me lol. I’m coping now, so I can be numb come May.

I like Jokic but that is some straight up cone defense

Never saw a 3 time mvp who lets ppl walk right past him to the paint. League turning into a farce I tell ya lol

I mean seriously, does Harden deserve a second MVP with a video like this?
legalize_wheelies
He just moves out of the way….
GeesKicks
He “protects” the paint like he’s playing with 5 fouls but finished with 2. So many of those layups are basically uncontested.

Jalen Brunson should be MVP
Choice_Marzipan5322
That D tho
HotKarls_TastySax
This is why there should be an OPOY, DPOY, and MVP.
lario00
He isn’t even contesting them.

Mods don’t understand constantly censoring the jokic criticism will only make the criticism so much worse than what it would have been by just keeping original posts up.

Jokic is such a fan of efficiency, that he helps his opponents efficiently score too!
colt6288
Does he try to defend?

The ending to this video is insane 😭😭

He’s literally moving out of the way on some of these lol

Doesn’t help that the guards basically held the door open to the paint all night

Have some respect that’s the 3 time most valuable player in the league

I love Jokic’s game, but defense is why I prefer Embiid.
GoDLY_PoWERFUL_MooN
Really seemed like Pop was trying to teach Malone/Jokic a lesson through this game. I hope the other teams just target and torture Jokic, forcing him to pick up defensively, so that the Nuggets are ready by the time playoffs come.

I’m getting 2017 James Harden flashbacks. I can already see the toxicity getting worse from some fans
Weird_Narwhal_2192
But he had double digit assists, which counts as defense because he’s a center
Popular-Newt-1603
funny watching the pushback against Jokic recently and the Pro Jokic ppl digging their heels in further. Zach Lowe had a mini tantrum recently
i just want people to stop acting like Jokic is on such a higher level relative to Giannis/Embiid that only Kratos could defeat him lol

I remember when people said Jokic is better than Hakeem 😂

Pop: let me simplify the MVP conversation for everyone.

“But he’s not a rim defender!” My brother in Christ… he’s 7ft tall
sparty212
Attacking is too strong of word…more like gently jogs pass Jokic on defense.
ImpossibleSnacks
I can understand quicker guys blowing by you if you’re a slow footed big but half these clips are dudes literally bodying his ass up and scoring on him. Like they’re clearly hunting for contact. Jokic is a pretty tough guy, weird to see this tbh.
