Denver also has great role players and great length.
bro comparing Jokic to Daugherty is maaaaad disrespectful ngl 😂
Jokic goes through his reads exactly like a quarterback…either he hits the open guy or 'runs' for the score himself. Add in his offensive rebounding and he is an unstoppable offensive force. He is Bird/Nash/Duncan in one dude: something we may only see once just like Nash, Duncan, and Bird were, and who certainly had their own influences. And anybody that large, tall, smart, and long is a defensive asset. He could play for 10-15 more years. If he does he could be the NBA's Tom Brady and the GOAT of GOATS by the time he's done
Joker fr
Literally everyone who joins this show needs to explain to mr. Patrick how great Nikola Jokić really is, because he just can't, don't or wan't understand. It's easier for him just to compare Nikola Jokić to Brad Daugherty. Hillarious.
He's a bigger Magic Johnson.
This host guy is a dork 😂😂😂 comparing Jokic to Daugherty? ARe you smoking pot with superglue that it melted your common sense?😅 Daugherty is same level of Javale mcgee
what a joke of a show. Daugherty ..lmao
I think Denver is going to sweep the Eastern Conference Champion. The rest until June 1 is going to do wonders for Jokic, Murray and Porter Jr. who have had nagging injury issues this whole season. The latter two are dealing with post acl tear and third back surgery recovery from last season.
His ability to score and rebound without explosiveness is like Randolph. His ability to control the game and make plays is like Magic. His ability to make shots at tough angles is like Bird.
You want a comp for Jokic Dan? How about WILT CHAMBERLAIN.
Dan Patrick might have decent NFL takes, but man does he need to watch more basketball, the man is clueless
No, if they do win, it's because Denver has a good organization from top to bottom. Denver did not reach the finals without Jamal Murry and the rest of the team. Here we go, he is an NBA messiah and the great hope.
the closest comparison would be to Larry Bird, obviously. Did you see how the ref's allowed contact at the end of the close out game? Seemingly at both ends, concerned, perhaps, that the game be decided at the free throw line. I mean Jokic was hammered before he put in the go ahead layup. The block at the other end could have easily had a call made just because it was so raucous down there.
BRAD DAUGHERTY!!!!!! HAHAHAHA. That's like when shaq said he reminds him of Rik Smits. Yeah, Jordan reminds me of George Mikan. Like come on people.
Brad Daugherty? What an idiot
Dirk and Magic in Greg Ostertag's body.
Drop the Mic!!
It seems, as much as I respect him, that Dan Patrick is another voice who hasn't seen enough of Jokic to appreciate his game. Dougherty? Come on, Dan. 🙂
Dan Patrick you been hating on the Joker, please stay out of the conversation, talk about leflop or Ja Morant.
He plays like the spiritual hybrid of magic johnson and pau gasol lol
Legs legit
Magic played center, point, forward, could do it all but only 6'8".
Larry Bird or Magic Johnson, but he’s so unique that maybe the only way to describe him is a much more efficient Russell Westbrook. He’s shooting Steph Curry numbers from 3 in the playoffs with nearly 4 attempts per game as a center. He’s able to stretch the floor and casually tally 10+ assists per night to get his team open shots so that even if they miss, they’re still open shots to get his team in rhythm for scoring runs in the clutch. He’s also been playing great post defense
