    Truly a generational player, and the true MVP for the third time. I just wish he'd be a little bit more aggressive towards the rim when he has the ball instead of always looking for the pass, expecially when Hachimura or Lebron are guarding him.

    i want the finals to be Nuggets vs Heat, this way no matter who wins, jokic or buttler im happy, they both deserve, in the end all of this will be about who is the biggest mvp since both squads are playing really well right now,

    Bro it's your time to make history Denver Nuggets win the championship congratulations for your best performance Nikola Jokic another triple double

  13. Joe Love

    Get Mark Jackson off the air. Didn't even have Jokic in his top 5 of MVP candidates. Spouts nonsense all game long.

  25. StopppP

    NBA just denied jokic from being the first 3-peat MVP so they make embiid the mvp for this season that cant even carry 76ers games

    i wasn't a big fan of his game before because everything looks awkward. but when you watch him more, you see how casual and simple he makes everything. beautiful passing and effective (if still ugly) scoring. just a genius

    This guy makes it look so easy. Hes averaging a triple double every night. They keep saying he cant sustain this high-level of play but hes been doing it all season. In fact, hes surpassing Kareem as the best to do it and hes only getting better. Its scary to think how good he can get. The Nuggets have been severely slept on until now. It would be sweet justice if Jokic takes this team all the way this year.

  31. Lord Sango

    Mark Jackson needs to keep Jokic's name out of his mouth. Mark tries to remind us that hes the two-time MVP while he forgets to vote for Jokic on the MVP top 3 list. What a clown. Why is he still employed after that epic fail and fake-ass apology because he sure as hell dont know what hes talkin about. Even his commentary is lackluster, totally biased and not very insightful.

    Can anyone beat Denver in 7 this year? If they make it through the West, they can beat whoever the East puts into the Finals easily.

  38. Monib Meznagui

    Bros been amazing all season, but when the playoffs arrive he gets even better somehow. You know he’s good when 23/17/12 is an average game for you. Robbed of MVP

    Hoće li se lopovi sa Rts udostojiti da pošalju jednog novinara na konferenciju finala u kome je naš igrač jedan od najboljih? Sramota da nema ni jednog našeg novinara. Samo znaju da kradu od naroda.

    Lebron is a weak defender. If he were not Lebron, he'll be on the bench. Lebron needs to focus on what he does best, drive to the basket. Never mind the 3's. Get the ball out of Lebron's hand. Let him get offensive boards.
