I’m only watching because Jokic
If it was Lakers Celtics I wouldn’t be interested
Did Lavar not watch the NBA in the early 2000's? Shaq was never the best player in the league what is that. Kobe was great but he was not better than Shaq during the 3 peat.
He's proving to everyone that you don't need to jump out the roof to hoop! Just imagine if he was BLACK the NBA media would cover him 24/7!!
So LeBron isn’t on Jordan’s level because of 4 titles vs 6 but y’all in comments saying Jokic is as good or better than Shaq/Duncan/Hakeem with one title. The bias y’all have for Europeans and/or against LeBron is hilarious 😂
Hakeem can’t be a point guard/ Floor general like Jokic , I will say no matter who you pick you can’t go wrong
Didn’t Giannis lose to the Miami Heat ?? If Giannis was that hurt then don’t play , otherwise I don’t want to hear no EXCUSES !!!!
Shaq shot 52% from the free throw line in his career. For that reason, he should not be in the convo for "best player ever".
Imagine thinking Shaq was never better than Kobe 😂😂.. bruhh
Great conversation and debate 🏀
These guys lack basic comprehension of the concepts
Jokers layups aren't the smoothest but His 3 pointers are pure net….
You can't compare the Joker to the OG centers from the 70's, 80's and 90's.. he plays the game differently and the game has changed so much!! But by the time the joker retires he'll statistically be the best center of all time.. he's gonna get the 1rst ring this year!! Count on it…
I lost 2 IQ points watching this.
Get the hell out of here, joker ain't better than shaq or dream ya'll must be out of ya'll mind
Shaq was the best player in the nba from 2000-2002 easy.
Stick to football
Jocik plays on one side of the court. He plays little defense. Let him at least get a back to back title and then we can talk about him in the same conversation as Shaq and Hakeem
1-Hakeem
2-Shaq
3-Kareem
4-Russell
5-Wilt
6-Moses
7-Yoke
8-Robinson
9-Ewing
10-Mcadoo/Reed/Howard
Also Yoke can be 6th…not sure who is better
just the fact joker vs hakeem arguments are now the norm makes me happy
Best player in the game and you still can't figure out how to pronounce his name. So embarrassing
Why nobody says the joker don't play defense he never gets called out for not playing defense
We'll never know what Hakeem could do today. What we do know is Jokic is far more versatile an offensive player. Hakeem was better defensively. Tough choice. One thing guys. If you're going to talk about Jokic at least get his name right. It's not 'Jo-kich.' It's 'Yo-kitch.' The fact that his nickname is Joker throws a lot of people off into mispronouncing his actual name.
Shek and Hakim, especially Shek, may be better under the basket, but the rest is better Jokic, he has many powers, he has a wide game and a great influence on the whole team, in my opinion Jokic without any doubt.
Shaq won 3 finals MVP……C'mon.
4 to 5 Centers from 90s are better than Joker, the hype is real, get 1 chip and try to make a statement again next year, get to finals.
Arrington must be unaware of the stat lines Shaq posted in the championship years with Kobe, when he won Finals MVP 3 years in a row.
Sorry Jokic is the most talented of any big man ever – Olajuwon could never shoot like Joker no matter how hard he tried – let's be honest Shaq could never shoot …
You guys are just romancing the past … time to let go …
Tell Plax that starting next year, All-NBA teams are going to be positionless.
Turned it off when they start comparing Jokic to Shaq😂
Lavar sounds straight ingant here! Shaq was clearly the best player in the NBA from at least 2000 to 2002!
How you guys talk NBA basketball for 15 min and bring up no statistics to support your arguments? 😂 You guys are footballers not hoopers, we all get that, but respect the sport and do your research. You guys got promise but let's improve.
This show is kinda dope. Its growing on me. 👊🏽
It's too early to rank Jokic, he's got a lot of years left. But yeah, he'd be a tough matchup for anyone in any era. Definitely one of the better bigs that you'll ever see. If he can manage to win 3 or more chips, then he will be cemented as one of the best bigs of all time.
Loved hearing the discussion between these three.
Shaq was certainly the best for 3 years.
The greatest most versatile centre to ever play the game. For the first time this year we will see a regular season MVP pushed down to the All NBA second team
Great debate, respecting each others and not using swearing words. Earning yourself a new subscriber
After MJ retired again in 98 Shaq was officially the best player by far. Kobe took the torch for awhile then he passed it to Lebron
Can the guy finish his career first?
These guys really calling him Jokic with a hard J? Lol. C'mon now.
YOKE-ITCH LEARN HIS NAME
hakeem was going up against actually centers like shaq, david robinson, ewing, alonzo, rik smits etc.. jokic competition is a 6'8 center of bam and a soft finesse player of AD who doesnt even want to play center. hes taking advantage of centerless era. last guy who actually gave him fits was washed up dwight howard in the bubble
There's no other big man who could pass the ball and read defense like Jokic can. And Jokic can play the post at high level.
For all you Shaq fanboys peep this….. Shaq won 1 mvp, 1 scoring title and never a rebounding title. Ummm something ain’t right about that. Now for a 28 game span of optimum playing conditions (playoffs) he definitely is head and shoulders above his peers but NOT the Joker
Duncan has 5 chips
giannis is levels below Jokic. the dude can only run and dunk😩 and he's scared of the ball like Ben simmons
JOKIĆ IS THE FACE OF BASKETBALL 💯
NIKOLA JOKIĆ IS:
HIM
THE TRUTH
THE ANSWER
THE BIG TICKET
THE BIG FUNDAMENTAL
☆☆☆NOT SINCE WILT!!!!!☆☆☆
SUPERMAN(APPROVED BUY SHAQ😉)
NEO(HE FIGURED OUT THE MATRIX)
THE BEST HUMAN BEING ❤️
THE BIG TIPPER
THE JOKER
BIG HONEY
WCF MVP👊
THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME
THE REAL MVP
