The cousins take was not really crazy or hate tbh
No reson?Reson is he is balcan player nobody like this…
learn how to pronounce his name
Espn is trash
It's OK with that, now he got the ring
Jokic is maybe the best player to ever live. He at least has the highest ceiling that I’ve ever seen. I’m comfortable saying that.
An interesting matchup would be Jokic vs Yokic. The winner gets to face the Joker. Decide how you are going to pronounce his name before making a video about him
Jokic is only going to get better. Now that is scary
Top 3 players in the NBA are all from the BALKAN !!! xd i love it
"analytics don't make sense". Isn't analytics about numbers? Shouldn't that make the most sense?
Perkins is right about one thing. There needs to be an absolute standard.
Bro can’t pronounce anyones name
Was this made by ai?
Was this video narrated by AI
Pronounciation guide: Serbian 'j' is pronounced as English 'y' (so, Jokić is 'yoke-itch', not 'joke-itch'), while 'dj' is pronounced as 'j', (like in Novak Djoković)
How you say his name wrong 5 different ways?
Indeed Embied !didn’t have enough help cry me a river !
Jokic is 28 years old. This is the prime time for a basketball player, because he can gather a lot of experience until that point, while being still young and strong, not prone to injury. Lebron, MJ were 28 when he won his first championship, Curry 27.
To this era, Jokic seems the best center. In an era when the NBA seems to loose the importance of traditional positions, like power forward or center. His game is just like that, he is playmaker, power forward, 3 point shooter and center combined.
However, there is only one thing which is more ridiculous than the constant belitteling of him in the media before and that's the hype around him now. One of the best, the best etc. He is one of the best, now he has won a championship, he has achieved real results thats clear. But even with that he will have to do this consistently and for a couple of years, elevating his team. Shaq has won 4 championships, Tim Duncan 5, Jabbar 6. Chamberlain has put up crazy numbers for a very long time. Jokic still has to deliver such a good performance for a long time to get mentioned among these greats.
Thats why we dont rock with Sip Bay-less dont matter who his co-host be its a WRAP! DONE.
It's amazing how Jokic tosses the ball around at random and it just happens to fall into the basket by pure chance.
Pat Bev. Hahahahaha.
Don't follow NBA media after that as much
And not to mention he's gonna be doing this for years to come since he doesn't rely on explosive athleticism at all. His game will age like fine wine
vatican and deep state fault bcs he is serbian and not catholic, they are just doing what nazis did with ustashe in balkans in WW2 and sad fact Vatican actually helped leading Nazis escape and Pope knew it and done nothing
There is a legit argument for other people as MVP. My vote goes to Jokic. He is the best offensive player in the league. One of the best all time. But his defense, although it has improved a lot, will never be up there with some of the other MVP candidates. Defense is harder to quantify, so there is room for debate. But there is no question that Nikola is incredibly valuable to his team, and that they would not be as good with someone else in the center position. Of course, he really doesn't play the center position. He plays point guard, but he's big enough to drive to the basket or play low post. He's a phantom that way, a giant phantom.
There's a reason he gets hate, it's just not his fault lol
he is from serbia thats the reason from nikola tesla over tennis star djokovic every serb gets hate, agenda
I think NBA players have a hard time with Euro. Rhythm? Style? Joker style is baffling.
MVP or Stereotypical Victim?
Nick uses his goatee to hide his missing chin 😂😂😂😂
These AI videos 😅
Jokic had better story in regular season and much better case.
Embiid is such a crybaby, he damished his career.
Jokic did not win the third MVP title is because of racism. When one ESPN contributor said that Jokic got his two MVP trophies because he is white all white voters got scared for being accused of racism that nobody voted for him this year. It is called "white guilt". Liberal whites are ready to do anything just to not be accused for racism.
Oh, there’s a reason.
Well he is hated in his own country, he doesn't deserve the love, selfish little prick, we don't want him,, we don't need him and you can have him. The pride turned in to a hate in a matter of 2 months just because he thinks national team is "job". We just want him to stop saying he is from Serbia. He can say he is Croat, since he acts like one.
nice
There's actually a reason he's hated., He is white and that is it..
Wrong skin color that’s why he’s hated
Now I'm not claiming Joker is the best center all-time (I still think he has a lot to climbing to do before reaching that mountain top). but this argument that "Jokic isn't great on defense therefore he can't be the top center of all time" is just silly to me. I mean, isn't "Magic Johnson" considered the best "point guard" all-time? was he a great defender? no… he wasn't. so, you can reach the mountain top without being a great defender. but I guess defense only becomes relevant when it comes to white player.
The only thing I wonder is his will to stay in the league. Being away from family and friends and culture. Living in a foreign country with foreign values and language.
It’s clear that it’s just a job to him and a job he doesn’t particularly like. I think he might retire in 2028 since he will have a quarter billion in the bank, endorsements and can live s happy life in Serbia. Enjoy him while you can.
Enquanto discutem, criticam e até ofendem, Jokic nem Instagram tem.😂
According to Mike O'Connor: "Joel Embiid is a better player on a better team…." Question: if Embiid is a better player on a better team, how come he can't get out of the 2nd round in the playoffs?🤔😂
I'll answer the question: Because in the playoffs teams design a defense to stop Embiid, often with smart double-teams, and he's not a very good decision maker or passer so he fails to adjust.
When teams try to stop Jokic with double-teams …. they get destroyed. 🙂 He adjusts and beats those teams with great decisions and mind-blowing passing.
Jokic plays much better defense now then when he first came in the league. He has great hands and gets a lot of steals and deflections. He always moves into good position to help teammates. He's not Hakeem or Bill Walton around the rim but he had several 3 block games during the playoffs, and he always plays better rim defense in the second half and at the end of games.
Nikola seems to try to avoid fouls by NOT going for blocked shots in the first half, but then changes strategy when the game is on the line. He's had a remarkable number of game saving blocks already in his career for a guy who supposedly can't defend.
The one thing Jokic doesn't do on defense — or offense — is rest. Hello Luka!
Funny to hear from Da Marcus Cousins … who was a dominant offensive player and a truly awful defensive center. Cousins was a pretty good passer for a big man so definitely had skills. But ultimately he was best known for getting his coaches fired and big time tantrums. 😂
Haters gonna hate! rock on joker!
they hate the Joker. he plays like he is off balance or spastic, doing things totally at random. but the real deal is he is de MAN! go get them Joker!
the Joker is upsetting the status quo and he catch's flack for that. he is akin to Trump. Trump messes with the establishment and so does Joker! ROCK ON JOKER!
Well, now I've heard about this Mike O'Connor and I found out he's a clown that should be ridiculed for his stupid views and biases.
When someone talks about basketball player capabilities as a media but didn't know about advanced stats, they are a quack.
We heard some so-called analysts foolishly using FG% as a scoring efficiency measurement instead of TS% or eFG%. Or checking the assist and saying a player is the best passer without knowing about assist-to-turnover ratio. Honestly, for casual discussion, this doesn't matter. But when this kind of quack deserves all-NBA or MVP vote, they are screwing the real ones.
Advanced stats exist for a reason, and it is proven to be correct all the time. Real expert analysts saying bad things about Westbrook despite averaging triple double because the advanced stats of Westbrook is bad. It is proven that his team isn't really going anywhere in the playoff.
Back to the main issue, analysts said Joker is better than Embiid by his advanced stats. It is proven now. Jokic was winning it all.
Steph is the best shooter. Check his TS%. Crazy number. And some quack said Jordan Poole is Steph successor when JP3 efficiency is nowhere near Steph. JP3 efficiency is just average. Those who can read advanced stats understand.
