NBA Gametime | Nikola Jokic is unreal – Shaq on Jokic triple-double lead Nuggets to win over Knicks

Yeah all better level up level up it’s time we up we all need to level up my hey there welcome to game time welcome inside our NBA TV studios I’m Stephanie ready alongside Dean 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 villain NOA 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 easy oh je Brunson knocks it down Nicks up one there and then Brunson drops it off yes honstein okay hooping even though they’re beat up right now Nicks Up 4 42 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 knocks 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 BS by the way no assist yic with the corner shot look at his pass he just spoon feeding everybody ridiculous you 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 301 and 14 boards by 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 good is Aaron Gordon in this system it’s a perfect hit perfect perfect hit Denver wins it 113 to 100 Michael Porter Jr with 31 points eight rebounds and as you said zero assist we not looking for him to

Pass no but that’s not his job yic with 30 14 11 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 GNA 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 two feet and 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 we 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 pass J I don’t want no passes he’s your perfect

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 tonight too it’s it’s Wild’s wide open at 69 and speaking of impressive look at the all-time scoring leaders in NBA history Kevin Durant is now promptly in the eighth position after

Passing Shaquille O’Neal which leads us to all right a lot to talk about with him he can do so many things I liked what he said about playing defense as well as offense impacting the game Devin what’s your take on Ant and how far he can go I

Mean we just thought he’s only 22 and his Ascension has allowed Minnesota to really when they made this trade for where would go bar everybody was like what what what they doing yeah what is you doing and and his Ascension allowed him to take the Reign 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 mean he willing to give his his body on a nightly basis to do great things and every summer he comes back with

Something different in the tool 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 oh 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 yic obviously y big yis SGA Canadian bacon Luca yeah right and then I think it’s ant and then you would say Pao 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 what get up my bad 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 you’re understanding this is first time realizing how hard it is to 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 is 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 BR

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 for speech for speech Hero I just don’t want to see the people suffer my protects the dragon Kingdom and I protect her an enemy has been defeated an enemy has been defeated I just don’t want to see the people suff you have been defeated double kill enemy deated an ally has been
