Fun fact: Jokic has the best career PER of anybody in NBA history.
Yes, even the goat MJ
I’m loving the nuggets but I feel like Murray is the weak link, he can be non existent and then he’ll drop 27 he’s supposed to be super clutch but he doesn’t do it I feel like it’s just Gordon and Jokic
Maybe he’s so big that it appears that Jovic moves like a dirigible airship. But maybe a better analogy would be he’s like a wind turbine. The blades look like they’re slowly turning, but they’re really going over 100mph. Crazy performance against great competition!
Ant needs to learn how to move off ball. He just stood there all entire game watching his team go four on four.
This is Why Jordan comparisons are so premature cuz Jordan would never have to stood around watching during a pivotal game. Especially after all of them big talk after last games lost
He's such a breath of fresh air. After hearing others proclaiming themselves to be the GOAT or not needing a system because they are the system or even KAT saying he's changed the game to this guy who rather get back to his horses than go to a parade honouring him and his team's achievement. Thank you Jokic.
***also Anthony Edwards, who, even with his immense confidence and competitiveness, never fails to give others their due credit. Such a great young man.
Everyone saying that Jokic was motivated by Adam giving him the award on the night is tripping… the guy is there to win and go home …simples!

Denver has a great nucleus and chemistry.
This series just reminds me how little Jokic and the Nuggets cared about the Lakers seriously at all. The T-Wolves got competitive and it made them realize that they need to bring their A game and the Lakers couldn't even get them to do that much.
Just to remind ppl, Top 3 defensive players are Rudy, Wemby and Bam and Jokic destroyed them all including AD and Draymond, if that is not worthy of an all-time great then you are just a hater…and he even trow a touchdown last night lol
Even if the Nuggets lose this series in 7, they have still shown how good a team they are and Joker has shown why he is the MVP for 3 out of 4 years. Anything can happen in sports, but as a Nuggets fan I am hoping for a back to back.
Funny thing is Timberwolves we’re a -17 when Rudy was on the bench any -2 when Rudy was on the court yet Rudy is their scapegoat.
I’m not aGobert fan but this game was not his fault
Love ants reaction.
Nadie tiene los Recursos y habilidades de Jokic, tampoco son dominante físicamente como Jokic.
Jokic a cambiado el juego como Curry en su momento, todos tratan de ser pivot e imitar el juego de Jokic, todos tratan de tirar de 3, todos tratan de ser pasadores como un Base, ahora todos tratan de imitar a Jokic ( Embid, Giannis, Sabonis, Banchero, Sengun,etc).
Jokic es un jugador generacional como Lebron o Curry y como ellos es imparable. Solo que los estadounidenses no lo quieren aceptarlo porque estaban acostumbrados a sus jugadores de "prototipo" Lindos, atlético y musculosos como con Curry, Edwards, Lebron, KW, Tatum, Koby, Book o Mitchell.
Y no les gusta que un tipo Serbio, extranjero, poco Atlético y que les parece con Sobrepeso sea quien domine totalmente su liga.
Por eso la mayoría de las ex estrellas de la NBA desprecian y subestiman a Jokic.
Portzingis isn't doing ANYTHING to vanquish Jokic. Have you seen what he is doing to the current DPOY?? Nuggets are in their toughest series right now. When they win it, they will roll to their back 2 back and ready to go for a 3-peat next year. Nuggets would completely ROLL the Celtics. Heck the Knicks have a better chance because they play more like Denver does. Denver is going to repeat. It's done.
They're actually more like the Dynasty era Spurs, they really have that feel to their team.
But why can't Shaq say "Congratulations on your 3rd MVP?" y'all ??? what a bum
Nuggets were used to starting slow and winning in the 4th quarter, both in the regular season and in 1st round against the Lakers. Minny just came in and played full-throttle for 4 quarters, taking Denver out of their game and consequently winning the first two games. Then, Denver realized: Oh sh*t, this team really wants to play a full 48 … OK, then, Let's Go!
its like someone in the locker room told him to try and throw that phrase in somewhere 😂
For anyone who doubts that the greats of the 70's and 80's could compete now just look at old school Jokic and weep.
Jokic is so special. He's freakishly skilled, absurdly efficient, stellar IQ, and an unintimidated beast. And he's handled the disrespect of his well-deserved MVPs masterfully. Just show up and win. He's literally letting his game speak for him. You can't help but appreciate and respect it. Go Nuggets!
gets me… why do Americans insist on pronouncing "Nikola" with a stressed oh sound. So many do it, is it pronounced Reyech Eesen?
🫡
I think serbian definition of "freak of nature" is different than the american one
The amazing thing about Jokic and that he is White just like the amazing thing about Woods was that he was Black. The NBA is a Black sport and Golf is a White sport so they are Abberations which elevate the sports beyond race
In basketball I pick offense over defense in football I pick number one defense over any number one offense.
DPOY should have gone to Wenbanyama. Loved seeing Gobert get out on ice.
Nikola Jokic is The Great Equalizer
The Celtics would have to beat The Knicks first.
Gonna keep saying it until they actually listen. FIX THE FEEDBACK ON YOUR MICS!!!
Murray was hurt in the first series
Ya he's the MVP…… Done!!!!
Jokic je igrao godinama u mom gradu kao domaćin ko bi rekao sta ce postići u životu Jokara voli te Sremska Mitrovica.Ti si nase dete volimo te .Care
Shaq is going through his lifetime supply of Icy Hot in one night after his shameful behavior towards Jokic. As much as it is amazing to see Jokic and the Nuggets succeed, you still want to see someone like Anthony Edwards succeed. He is destined for greatness.
We learn abaut mensa in elementary school, here in Balkan….he know what is it man 🙂
Jokić Basketball Savant 🏀💥
“Joker is a genius who happens to play basketball.” – Aaron Gordon
I wouldnt underestimate MAVS or THUNDER in W.C.Finals under any curcumstances.They can be a problem,especialy MAVS with Luka Doncic when he gets heated. And I say this as a Denver and JOKIC fan from Serbia. Lets just take one step at the time.Timberwolves must fall next game in order for the Nuggets to be fisicly ready and not worn out.Good luck,Nuggets
