“He is playing amazing,” said back-to-back MVP Jokic, who had 24 points and 19 rebounds. “He is definitely showing what he is capable of. He is our best player and we are following him right now.”

Jokic seems like the perfect teammate
I’m sure the talking heads won’t misconstrue this at all
Jokic just wants to win. You jaded motherfuckers doubt it. But this dude is sincere. I don’t want to hope. I dare not. But if we win it all….
Playoff riser
I know he’s still young and been injured last couple of years but man it’s crazy to think he’s never been an all star, he’s had big time performances in playoffs since 2019
2x MVP is suppose to be the best. Jokic is a fraud.
Big Honey 💯🔥
So, is it safe to assume that when Hyland was saying that over there there’s one guy with phenomenal talent he was referring to Murray?
Murray knows how to step up for the playoffs. If him and Jokic can at least somewhat cancel out KD/Booker’s offensive output, Denver will have a strong chance to advance.
I’m glad Jokic gives answers like this about Murray, because Murray gets the “how awesome is Jokic?” question every time he gets interviewed. And to be sure, Jokic is awesome. He’s so awesome that it’s kind of fair he keeps getting the question. But it’s gotta get annoying for someone to hear that over and over while you’re capable of being the best player on the floor on any given night too.
But Murray seems to have a good head on his shoulders, so it probably doesn’t bother him much

I remember who being better between the 2 being a legit debate before Murray’s injury.
I’m a little more inclined to agree with Jokic here, but it’s hard to argue against 2 MVPs. Also I’m a little biased cause I was on the Murray side of the train pre-injury
..iam not sure murrey will perform like that again in this series but denver won by that much that he doesnt need to.
Jokic is such a good teamate. Definitely a teamate you’d want to have in your locker room.
Jokic is constantly hyping up his teammates also because they get dragged a lot into stuff like the MVP conversation and generally talking about him that he likes to point the media’s focus on how great his teammates are….
Dude is such an awesome teammate.
I mean Jokic has been telling us how great Jamal, AG and MPJ are, we just didn’t believe him. 😭
To be fair Jokic did plenty of carrying the team while Jamal and MPJ were injured. It’s his time to relax now
the best player on the floor on any given night too.

Fact lol
Love this squad. They are jelling
Really rooting for the nuggets on that side of the bracket.
Jokic is def the best player on that team he’s just giving him confidence
But when I say this I get clowned
