    Jokic plays so steadily and controlled, he’s gotta be up there for one of the smartest players **EVER**

  2. RabbitWolfie

    Don’t remember the last time I’ve seen two coaches being this out-coached in conference finals as Ham & Mazzulla have against Malone & Spoelstra

  3. leakymemo

    apology for poor English

    when were you when LA dies?

    i was sat at home eating Davis bites when fred ring

    ‘Lakers is sweep 🧹 ‘

    ‘no’

  4. OptimisticLA

    DeAndre Jordan is going to the Finals!!!

  6. shunsui___kyoraku

    WE ARE GOING TO THE FUCKING FINALS. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

  7. kirinboi

    LeBron: “actually, I remember one time we were playing against Denver,

    At home, and it was 0-3 to nuggets, we were playing at home, nuggets away. LeBron said:

    ‘Guys, if you think we are good, let’s prove it now’. 0-3”

    AD: “did we comeback?”

    Lebron: “of course not. 0-4🧹🧹🧹”

  8. MakeAShadow

    Kendrick Perkins really robbed this man of an MVP.

  9. IMisstheMidRangeGame

    Hear me and rejoice! You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Sloppy Boi. You may think this is suffering. No… it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile… for even in death, you have become children of Jokic.

  10. jackgap

    LeBron James just put up 40/10/9 in year 20 and played all 48 minutes.

    This dude is one of a kind.

  11. tvchase

    That is probably the last possible way I would’ve imagined this game ending lol

  13. eddie_the_zombie

    It’s crazy how two teams on the brink of a sweep can look so fundamentally different. One of them fights and hustles, utilizing every single person on the bench to squeeze out every inch of advantage against a clearly superior opponent, absolutely refusing to die as long as there’s time on the clock

    And the other team wears a surrender flag and huffs the glue stashed in the armpits of the jersey all game.

  14. thekweensloth

    That was the most competitive sweep I’ve ever seen! JOKIC IS HIM

  15. abris33

    Everybody was talking about “the 2 best big men”. AD just doesn’t even belong in the same conversation. LeBron played his ass off in the 1st half and AD gave up in the 3rd quarter when LeBron was exhausted. LeBron ended up having to defend Jokic a lot because AD is so weak

  16. Not_KD_I_Promise

    Tristan Thompson can’t win with these cats.

  18. Palifaith

    Reminder than Mark Jackson did not give Jokic an MVP vote.

  19. Number333

    Heroic effort by LeBron. He looked absolutely DEAD after guarding Murray on that clamp. Noble run as a #7 seed. Denver is going to be an absolute monster of a matchup in the Finals.

  21. SolarClipz

    Media are actually absolute fucking clowns for not giving Jokic his 3rd MVP lmao

    He said fuck you it’s Finals time bring out the brooms

  22. Skywalkerkid9

    LeBron gonna take AD behind the shed personally

  23. meester_pink

    “Why doesn’t this 38 year old man who played the whole first half just continue to score all the points??” -jvg

  27. SupaZT

    Relying on a 40 year old geriatric to beat the #1 seed ain’t going to work.

  28. Blazehero

    Joker is the best player on the planet.

    You just shrug when he hits the circus shot 3

  29. Frodo_Mk

    Don’t worry lakers bros we will join you tomorrow as well

  30. filterface

    ESPN showing Lebron walking for 30 straight seconds with zero commentary instead of the Nuggets celebrating, the absolute disrespect my god

  31. AnimalRomano

    #EMBIID WOULD NEVER!

    #STOP COMPARING HIM TO THE RIGHTFUL MVP.

  32. Raj2324

    Lebron unloaded the clip today. He played extremely well. Denver is just too good

  33. Kswish_

    AD gave it his all in game 1, realized it wasn’t enough and decided to phone it in the rest of this series

  34. Bdawg555

    Never forget that rui booped Jokic on the nose for a 3-point foul

  36. Daguyondacouch8

    They didn’t give Jokic a big enough shirt lmfao

  38. california-whiskey

    If we’re counting moral victories we actually swept them 4-0 GG nuggets was a fun series

  39. electoralvoter8

    Nikola jokic is the viktor krum of the nba

    He’s not just a player

    HES AN ARTIST HERMIONE

  40. theetruscans

    “I’m just first among equals”

    Jokic is a class act

  41. ajsantos21

    That’s a helluva team over there. Jokic so humble and just a solid funny dude. Go get that chip. GGs

  42. Theelementofsurprise

    I’m not seeing enough Aaron Gordon love. Dude balled out tonight

  43. ginbooth

    DEN was simply the better team with better chemistry. Also, more proof of what a fucking idiot Mark Jackson continues to be. Jokic is *the* center of this generation. A chip will solidify that in stone. Of course, Jimmy Buckets lurks around the corner…

  44. GillbergsAdvocate

    Michael Malone was one of Mark Jacksons assistant coaches and had him fired because he was paranoid Malone was gunning for his job. It’s established Mark Jackson does not like that man.

    It’ll always be Fuck Mark Jackson

  46. Gueropantalones

    Ham really blaming the refs on LeBron getting tied up in a jump ball
