They call Jokic everything but the best player in the NBA and potentially one of the greatest players ever all skills. Id take Jokic over Shaq man idk what the fuck this boys club is talking about lol
Jokic. Plays. Well in the 1990s. Style of basketball. And. Todays players. Can compete with that
Jokic. Plays. Tough , aggressive and smart. , The heat. Can't stop him. Plus. Jamal. Murray is nice. In today's game. The. Heat lost. This series before it began
Miami Played their Finals against the Celtics and Won they have no more gas left for the Real NBA finals.
Jokic brothers noted❤❤❤
Nuggets get it done game 5
Nope , Jokic plays basketball and rest are playing hoops.
Jokic is the Peyton manning of the NBA. He can read every defense.
Zeke, you nailed it perfectly, man! When talking of Jokic, high IQ is the word.
Denver never seems to get rattled no matter what kinda run Miami goes on or if they’re up by 10 or more.
Nikola Jokic on the level if Bill Russell in how smart and team oriented a centre can be.
If Lebron had been surrounded by the calibers of players Jokic is surrounded with today, LBJ would have had at least 10 championships.
Love seeing good basketball again. Denver is playing like my favorite Spurs teams of the 2000s. Great team work and hopefully a championship.
how tf did jokic not get mvp? I get Joell is good but cmon man
Kenny is just talking just to talk but saying nothing.
Denver played rather poorly and still spanked Miami. Crown 'em.
Denver has won their last 5 road playoff games. Miami has lost their last 4 home playoff games.
Kenny has never been my favorite. Don’t really agree with most things he says
He plays like Bird from a passing standpoint with less quickness. From a scoring standpoint he plays like Duncan except less with the go to moves and more versatile (and way more range). From a rebounding standpoint he doesn't really play like anyone I've seen except maybe Rodman in terms of knowing intuitively where the ball is coming off the rim and getting to that spot so he doesn't have to fight for it. He is a hybrid at all 3 aspects (with some above average defense as a team defender, but less effective as a one-on-one defender).
But as a total scorer, Kenny is showing his bias. Shaq's GREATEST scoring playoff was at a 30.7 average with 15 rebounds and 3 assists. Joker's 2023 playoffs is 30.5 average with 13.5 rebounds and 10 assists. He's not "as good" as Shaq offensively, he's considerably better. In terms of combined scoring (points and assists), he stands alone as the greatest playoff performance in history.
Miami could have won 3 games also. Blowing 15 point leads in a championship series is ridiculous
"Staying 15' longer after the game" SMH, veteran NBA players would sh*t their pants and stay in awe playing a game in Europe.
American players coming to Europe early in their career, adapt quickly but someone after 5+ years playing in the "kindergarten nap time" type atmosphere… Sh*ting themselves.
Embiid jokic need that trophy back
RAPTORS LETS GOOOOOO 🇨🇦
Nugget takes over 👍👏👏
Kenny hating on the joker …
Isiah Thomas is an idiot.
Where did Shaq an Chuck go ..😢
Isaiah just says one of the smartest BIG MEN, nah not just BIG MEN but ONE OF THE SMARTEST PLAYER ever, he is WAAAAAYYYYYY Smarter than most point guards, even smarter than ISAIAH as a playmaker.
