Nobody talks about the defensive effort of Denver , this team is unbeatable when they go full speed . Heat could not shoot effectively because Denver would not let them
Yeah sure, give the FMVP to Murray and give Jokic 6th man award next season, that'll cement the NBA's sentiments towards the best performers.
taking embiid over jokic still is insane
Jamal is Canadian 😂
Miami has to play a PERFECT GAME ! Tom make it close . By perfect I mean , every open shot , every layup , every rebound . Absolutely no margin for a mistake
I don’t even watch sports like that, but I think it’s hilarious how much talking heads try so hard to down play jokers skills, let alone the team as a whole. Maybe because it’s first time nuggets have been here so people just don’t know what to say or expect, but regardless of how talented Jamal is, without joker this team would not be in the finals. Period.
Nice ugly hoodie keyshawn – stick to foozball – youre just a lakers bandwagon boy and dont know basketball 😂 – that nick friedell impression was good though, that dude is horrible and annoying – i see why kyrie dont like him
Homie can try to down play joker because he’s not American, he’s white, or that he’s tall so it doesn’t count, but there are other non American players who are taller than joker that don’t even come close to stats. Clearly it’s unbelievable what he’s doing
How is Keyshawn employed as an analyst
Keyshawn knows nothing about basketball
Both are incredible players, but the one scenario where Murray wins FMVP would be if Jokic dips to 20-10-6 for the remaining wins and Murray averages 40-6-10.
The worst dips Jokic had were the 24-8-6 game against LA and, if I remember right, one game with similar numbers against Minnesota.
Murray’s also not from America, btw. He’s Canadian.
Do you not realize Murray is Canadian?
no way you take embiid over jokic. you say defense is the reason but during these playoffs joker has been beter than embiid on both ends, and embiid folds every single year come PO time
Can’t talk about the Lakers so he’ll wear their sweater lol
Keyshawn still out here picking embiid "cAuSe He'S a BeTtEr 2 WaY pLaYeR." Okay and what has embiid proven in the playoffs? Dude doesn't play to his regular season levels cause the lights are too bright for him. And don't give me the "BuT EmBiD iS NeVeR HeAlThY" take. At this point that's who Embiid is. Deal with it. Dude isn't healthy, will never be the guy to get his team to the finals and win a chip.
Jokic is better in ever way and I would pick Jokic every single time even with a gun to my head.
Keyshawn is a FARCE. Shut that guy up. Jokic is piling HISTORICAL RECORDS UPON HISTORICAL RECORDS dominating the like of Wilt & Kareem and he would still choose Embiid?!?!
i TaKe BoTh EnDs Of Th3 Fl00R @D
Shocker Keyshawn continues to have clown takes. I remember him on MNF trying to argue he was better WR then Marvin Harrison then Colts with a ton of Harrison had biggest MNF comeback ever with him shook on sideline. He just comes off as a super cocky mostly unlikable dude a lot of the time. Does he have fans out there or him as a commentator? ESPN needs someone else to replace him, that can’t just be me.
Jokic is an all time great. The amount of my fellow Americans who are slow to give foreign players their props/flowers is embarrassing!
Jokic 2023 Playoffs EASILY 1 of GOAT!
#1 in ALL Playoffs in

REBOUNDS
(1st player EVER to have most POINTS ASSISTS REBOUNDS in single playoff! Wilt Russell Kareem Moses Bird Hakeem Shaq Duncan LeBron 5x the only others to lead in 2 of 3!)
WIN SHARES
PER
BPM
WS/48
Last 3 years in what easily could of been 3 straight MVPs he AVERAGED
26, 12, 9, 2stocks on insane 59/37/83, best analytics by far, best on/off by far!
He’s undoubtedly Top5-25 somewhere in terms of what he’s done from 20-28 years old from an individual accomplishment stand point, statistically, playoff riser, analytically, all around game.
It’s a TEAM game boys that’s why Jokic only had 1 WCF before 28 years old. He was still an awesome 26, 12, 6, 2stocks 52/40/82 in nearly 50 playoff games. Murray been hurt last 2 playoffs as was MPJ last year. They had no bench. Even this series they still could lose if KCP MPJ continue to shoot 20% from 3 instead of their normal 40% (they’re 5-26 so far from 3 or they’re up 3-0 if they are their normal 10-26 to 12-26 selfs!). MJ first 6 Playoffs was 24-29 in playoff games and never made a finals also. Was 0-5 vs Celtics Pistons even though he was mostly elite in playoffs. TEAMS win titles not individual players!
If KCP MJP were their normal 10-26 to 12-26 from 3 selfs in Finals instead of horrid 5-26 Nuggets up 3-0 right now!
Clown Skip trying to minimize how ILLmatic Jokic is. “He was pretty good in first half” 14, 12, 7 at half is not pretty good it’s GREAT! Any half that you double that gives you 28 24 14 is an awesome half. Playoff Murray is great as well! Their one of the illest duos ever!
Jokic & Hakeem my favorite centers of my lifetime as super early 80s baby who has been watching since mid 80s and going to many games year great seats since 87-88 (Reggie Millers rookie year). Hakeem best two way big, Jokic best all around offensive game.
Keyshawn saying his game isn’t sexy or beautiful or hard for non huge basketball fans is weird. His game is BEAUTIFUL!
Saying he’d rather have Embiid is insanity. Embiid is one of the worst playoff droppers ever along with Karl
Malone & James Harden.
“He’s not an American!”
You lose all credibility if you still think Embiid is better than Jokic
It's him or Hakeem, Maybe Dirk if you consider him a big man…. Tim Duncan gets honourable mention
Keyshawn = Perks = Racist
So key doesn't like basketball then
The Joker is a way better passer, scorer, rebounder and offensive player than LBJ ever was 🎉
Jay Will stay off the weed! It much easier to be skilled when there is no physicality. Recency bbias if I ever heard. Hakeem would run circle around Jokic. This is the problem with sports today because it all about false narrative than the game itself.
Those 2 bad foul calls on Miami in the first half shifted the momentum and Miami couldn’t recover from that. I really watch the game!
Those who voted for Embiid for the MVP must be feeling super stupid now.
Finally an analyst realizing mpj is not good
I know they were just messing around but Jamal Murray isn't even American either lmao
No one in the entire NBA can guard Jokic right now. There might be times where you can slow him down, but he is so crafty and smart that he is able to impact the game in many different ways. Also Jamal Murray, when he gets hot, is almost unguardable as well.
Keyshawn – It don't look right
Also jokic is the best offensive player ever.
jokic is so much better for the team in playoff.
embiid got double teamed and that's the end of the story. every playoff. he's not a playmaker.
that's why he never was in the conference finals.
Nuggets without Jokic wouldn't even make to playoffs, he can't win games on his own but without him Nuggets would struggle to beat anyone
Same numbnuts who said "Just make Jokic score hurrdurr!"
How you do that? And how you lock up the other four? Those guys are huge and Murray's a legit star. No team has the roster to lock them up one on one and no one's making Jokic do anything he doesn't want to. Their losses Jokic scored so much organically trying to will his team back into a game where ANT and Book were having historic games.
"Hurrdurr! Nuggets can't win on the road!" Are you kidding me? Nuggets are the picture of consistency and have played great every single game. Their losses came from stars shooting the lights out not because they sucked away. In fact I'd argue their two weakest games this post season came the first two games of the finals and Heat was only able to capitalize on one by 3 points.
He's got the passing skills of Magic, the basketball-IQ of Bird, the physical dominance of Shaq, and a vertical like Phyllis from The Office.
If Jokic can continue to play out his prime, I think we may see him go down as one of the greatest of all time. He certainly has a road ahead, but he could be the next Tim Duncan, a living legend.
