  1. And he will get bounced out of the playoffs again by the golden state warriors like the last two times he won. He is just a stat padder, just like Westbrook.

  2. I wouldn't call it a shooting slump. He just wasn't taking them. He is never going to be in a slump from midrange. He was in a mini slump from 3 because of his wrist.

  3. I was really in denial about Jokic winning that 3rd MVP especially cuz it's in a row but I can't deny him anymore, as of rn he MVP

  4. Jokic has won me over. The way he scores, soft touch. I'm not going as far as to say he's the best passer in the league simply because he has easy targets, but this man is incredible. I'm a post season guy and him playing drop against elite offense I don't know how far the nuggets are going to go but if he can be serviceable on defense in close games I can see the Nuggets making a run.

  5. -> 🤔 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World…

    But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, HaHa ❤ HaHa

    *NOTE:

    -> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation

    It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries…

    =

  6. Jokic was NEVER in a shooting slump from midrange, he is just so dominant(most dominant big since Shaq) he could score easily 30 without jumpshoots at all…from three yes, but from midrange he was like 70% fg this season, never in slump…

  7. Denver Nuggets with Jokic on the court already have the best offense in the history of basketball, he doesn't need to shoot 3s that much…

  8. Also it's more then just post fades and hooks with 🃏 , he has a signature move called the sombor shuffle research it , cus its in the same airspace as dirks, kobe, mj and kareem signature unblockable shots , watch dremond green talk about it on YouTube

  9. The Suns have been playing without 2 starters for pretty much the entire season (Cam Johnson, Chris Paul, and Devin Booker)

  10. He is a remarkable incredibly elite offensive player
    But he is really slow and average at best Defensive player
    MVP? Not for me
