Inside The NBA | “Nikola Jokic is not from this planet” – Shaq on Nuggets DESTROY Knicks 113-100

Game time welcome inside our NBA TV studios I’m Stephanie ready alongside Devon Harris and Channing fry seven games in the NBA on Thursday night and we are going to get to them all gentlemen are you ready I’m ready let’s go ready let’s do it first game up Nicks

Nuggets look at the two Villanova boys I love that and then of course the Joker is in the building that’s a problem um as evidenced by this first highlight he’s a bucket in the paint I mean way way too e easy oh Jeff up Brunson knocks it down Nicks up one

There and then Brunson drops it off yes parkstein okay hooping even though they’re beat up right now Nicks up 4842 here dime come on now it’s too easy every game he does something crazy yic to Gordon for the layup and then yic finds Jamal Murray kns it

Down halftime score Denver’s up 61 to 56 Michael Porter junor you like this play channy love it hey don’t pass to nobody when you’re the best shooter shoot that thing yourself he had 31 points and eight rebounds by the way no assist yic with the corner

Shot look at his pass he just spoon feeding everybody ridiculous just call him HomeTown Buffet he just feeding everybody yic this time works inside oh too small Banks it on high off the glass and working all the angles look at this shot come on come on like who even

Thinks of shooting me yic had 311 and 14 boards by the way Bronson drives in he makes the layup he had 26 points nine assists Jamal Murray off the dribble goes behind the back watch this play Drops it off Aaron Gordon for the dunk plus the foul oh good is Aaron Gordon in

This system it’s a perfect fit perfect perfect fit Denver wins it 113 to 100 Michael Porter Jr with 31 points eight rebounds and as you said chy zero assist we not looking for him to pass no but that’s not his job yic with 30 1411 another triple double let’s take a look

At these Western Conference standings uh Denver now as you see in the two position but right there with Oklahoma City so that’s going to be ongoing as the season winds down and then you look it’s getting bottlenecked there in the middle um we’re going to talk more about

These nuggets because they’re so much fun to watch and I know that you in particular Devon want to dive into joic and what he brings to the table I mean it’s a buffet he brings everything rebounding scoring passing whatever you want whatever he wants to serve you

That’s what you’re getting I mean if you get him in the paint 2 feet he scores better than most look at the strength he holds off one guy with the left to tip it in if you try to double him on the backside he fires it on the weak side

Another probably the best half roller in the game just from a smart standpoint I mean he literally gives you everything you you need in a point and and he’s so unselfish where he doesn’t feel like he needs to score high points he he likes Jamal to take over the fourth quarter he

Finds Aaron Gordon underneath the basket time and time again and then when you got a shooter like Michael Porter Jr from the weak side I mean they literally can dice you up any way you want I mean it must be so much fun to play with him

Because you know that you’re going to get the shots that you want right you specifically which leads me to you Channing fry you like talking about big men who can shoot I wonder why yeah I don’t want J I don’t want no passes he’s your perfect player he’s the most

Underrated shooter next to Anthony Simons in the NBA okay I I just don’t think we talk about how consistent yes he shoots a lot but that’s his role on the team that’s why they’re Champions and for him to his maturity um you know is really gotten so much better each and

Every year that he’s been healthy and he just has the automatic Gerald or emerald green light and I love it it it’s just crazy um and to me I love watching it because he has evolved he has shots off the dribble he has these things but he relies on his

Teammates and he stays within the system and he excels in nights like this where you go oh you’re going to double team the best passing big man ever and I’ll say that again the best passing big man ever okay I’m wide open and guess what I have no responsibility to to pass to

Anybody else love that 13 of 16 t i too it’s it’s wild wide open at six time and speak about with him he can do so many things I liked what he said about playing defense as well as offense impacting the game Devon what’s your

Take on Ant and how far he can go I mean we just thought he’s only 22 Yeah and his Ascension has allowed Minnesota to really when they made this trade for RO to go Barry everybody was like what what what are they doing yeah what is you

Doing what you doing and and his Ascension allowed him to take the range Carl Andy towns took a step back they start to build around him and this team I think is doing what they’re doing because of what ant can do on a nightly basis and he’s not quite a superstar yet

But he you know his ability to affect the game on both ends you know his ability to make late game shots we saw the block to save the game the other night where he hit his head on the backboard I me he’s willing to give his

His body on a nightly basis to do great things and every summer he comes back with something different schol box so I think his his limit I don’t think he he doesn’t even realize what it’s at yet and I think he’s a top 10 player right

Now and he’s only going to get better I’m so glad you said that because I was going to come to you Channing yeah is he a top 10 player right now not will he be right now after All-Star break I don’t even think it’s a question I think he’s

A top five player Oh top five top five now I wrote this down I think joic obviously y big yis SGA Canadian bacon Luca yeah right and then I think it’s an and then you would say paor Brunson have been balling for their teams now that’s

Not saying you know Tatum or or Dame or Giannis aren’t balling or Braun or ad or KD I’m just saying these players have shown that they are wanting to take their younger teams is to the next level when cat went down I was on a different

Podcast and said I don’t know if this year he’s been playing great if he has that next you know you know what get on my back guys for these 25 games okay I was very wrong wrong and the thing is is like he you know when you talk about a superstar

You got to want to be a superstar you got to want that responsibility um I remember they were playing the Clippers I think they lost that game but he was guarding PG next one down he was guarding Kawai he was like man I got it

I got it don’t switch and you love to see that fire from him and your understanding this is first time realizing how hard it is to be consistent at being a star um we’ve been in here with Gill right who obviously does Team USA stuff he could not stop

Raving about Anthony Edwards and and just about everything that he like the way he absorbs the game the way that he’s as good as he is he’s humble and then he talks about you know Aunt talks about how he worked out with Steph and he was like man I didn’t know they work

Out this hard what happens when he has the whole summer about that of not only playoff you know but like hey okay he Braun what you doing Katie what you doing right kawhai what you let me go get up in that lab cyborg he’s going to

Be so dangerous and and you see how everyone talks about it yeah earning the respect of your players shows how good you are because there’s a lot of dudes got to get points not a lot of dudes get respect from other players that’s true peer group is uh in agreement for sure

Uh and you know what you can see Ant-Man right here on NBA TV on Foree for foree Fore for for for for for Sh Speech
