  1. Ignore him guys, Kendrick Perkins said he's stat padding. Jokic is racking up Assists just so that he can win a ring. And he's getting rebounds just so he could help his team. He must be stat padding for sure. For sureee.

  2. Why people hating on this guy? Talented,unique, awesome personality, and so fun to watch.

  3. Jokic is the true MVP of the regular season.

    The BLM agenda in the media robbed Jokic of his third MVP in a row.

  4. I feel like we need to trade two or three players to the East. I agreed with Miami in the finals. when shaq was breaking the backboards. did anyone think it was more fun when shaq was stopping the game. so they could take the hoop off of the floor. I do.

  5. Nikola Jokić transcends being a basketball player – he embodies basketball itself. He encapsulates the essence of the game as a whole, rather than being defined by individual statistical categories. He represents something unprecedented, as his style of play epitomizes the very core of basketball. The Mr.Mac

  6. Jokic be like : I am gonna feed my teammates i don’t need to score… ended game with the highest score 😮

  7. At 1:35, look at that Joker set up. He was in position to shoot the ball with his delivery, but decided literally last second to pass out to the open 3. Sorry Miami, there’s no way to guard that. Those are the little things Joker does that make him so dangerous.
