GET UP | “Nikola Jokic is NOT HUMAN” – Legler on Nuggets beat Warriors 130-127; Jokic buzzer-beater

27 last night we are on Sportsman like here on ESPN Radio ESPN 2 along with Michelle small and Chris KY Evan Cohen with you insane shot like absolutely insane they were down the Nuggets were down 18 in the fourth quarter they won a 264 run late in the final six plus

Minutes of the game and Joker hits a 40 plus footer to win this game just an absurd shot and you know there’s positive nice conversations we could have or we can somehow sit here in discust at two of the people in Bristol Connecticut right now who are poo pooing

This who Nuno and Pat have been saying to CC and I this morning oh this is not a big deal whatever who cares how do you not how do you not think this is CeCe explain to them why this is such a big deal before these two jokers pun

Intended here go on this it’s a 40 foot buzzer beater over another seven-footer I I don’t understand like that that capped a 25 to four run that the Nuggets were able to go on at the end of that quarter after being down 18 in the quarter I I just don’t understand

How you could be underwhelmed by Joker’s playmaking ability but also his shot making ability especially down the stretch you don’t usually see that from big men that type of stuff is reserved for guards and we always talk about it right being able to close out the final

Five minutes of an NBA game clutch time you really need a guy that’s ball dominant somebody that can handle the rock well not the Denver Nuggets cuz they got the best player in the entire league which is nicolea yic so whether he’s down in the post or whether he’s

Out on the perimeter handling the ball he’s the guy that you want the ball in his hands at the end of the game and last night is Case in point as to why yeah and statistically it’s incredibly rare what he was able to do so uh Joker

Is the fourth player since 97 to hit a game with winning but buzzer beater for a team that trailed by 18 or more points in the fourth quarter there’s only one guy to do it after trailing more than 18 points and that was Kobe Bryant who did

It one time one time he did it all right let’s hear our Jokers go ahead ahead why why are we overhyping this Pat Nuno I mean I’m actually more impressed by the Run than I am the shot itself the shot was fine it’s just it’s a he it’s a

Heave from 40t that he banked in it’s not like it’s it’s not like he set something up and it was an ISO when he crossed someone and took a fade away at the buzzer for three when they were down two like he just it was a heave from 40t

And it went in and it was actually it really wasn’t a heave I keep watching the replay it was his actual three-point shot it was the exact same form he takes on a normal halfcourt offense three-point shot yeah and he banked it in and that’s fine it was fine it was a

Good shot it was cool so if he called Bank you would be more impressed like if we had the sound on the court where he’s like bank would you be more impressed that would be great he says he says that he planed to bank it but that is not the

Reaction of a man who planed to bank that in so what’s the worst thing that happens he misses they go to overtime right like all right cool but like it was all right like that’s my thing it’s the moment of the game the The Run was

The most the most important thing or the actual the Wild Thing moment of that right but it’s like he misses they I disagree because because if they don’t win the game who cares about the run corre but they wouldn’t have lost the game if he doesn’t make that like that’s

The thing as Pat saying if you were down like that’s cool like he hit a 40 plus foot shot as a seven-footer basically bringing up the ball with his normal shot not heaving it over cavon Looney who’s a big like it good oh by the way none of us

Are putting this over as MVPs none of us are putting this over winning a championship or anything like that but that was a phenomenal moment last night in the NBA that he was able that I mean I’m not going to sit here and lie and

Say I saw it live that was way later than I I’m staying up but watching it back this morning oh my God unbelievable what the guy did I yeah I can’t believe you guys are dismissing this not dismissing it we’re just not going crazy we’re not saying it’s unbelievable it’s

It kind of was unbelievable it’s we’re not even going to talk about it in like two days so we’re not even we’re not going to talk about a lot of things in two days that we talk about today F it’s fine it was fine we still talk about

That Steph shot what was it against the thunder right you can’t start that by saying we still talk about it and then include what was it well I’m trying to remember Thunder but like yeah it’s we’re moving on it’s was cute like we’ll see highlights of it cute it was it

Itold the other parts of this uh the Warriors part obviously of blowing an 18-point lead we do get reports per our own Adrian W Janowski that Draymond is kind of on his way back whenever that’s going to be I still wonder if he’s going to play for them I still have this back

Of my mind could this actually be the end of this and I love Draymond and I would want him back if I’m the Warriors I don’t love his actions and I don’t love what’s happening right now but I think he is part of what makes this

Thing go I just I guess I’ll believe it when I see it I still think there’s maybe more drama unfortunately to be had here with this situation in terms of him coming back like yeah what is what is the Team six- Six in his absence and and

They they were what one and three one and four over the last five it hasn’t been great without Draymond Green and we know that he’s the defensive identity and when the Golden State Warriors are right it starts on the defensive end and so I I I don’t think that they’re going

To be capable of being able to contend in the west especially with so many teams uh you know overachieving so many teams being competitive a year ahead of schedule teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Oklahoma City Thunder you know nobody thought that those teams would be as good as they are

But because they’re there it now pushes the Golden State Warriors back in terms of what we project them to be once the playoffs get here so this this the these suspensions that Draymond has has gone through aren’t immaterial to what the Golden State Warriors could potentially

Be in terms of of forming an identity that’ll allow them to compete once the postseason gets here yep I totally agree and I think that we’re like I’m a glass half full guy with the Warriors and I could say oh in a playoff series I still think they could beat anyone here’s the

Problem if you’re not in the playoffs I can’t play that out and right now they’re not in the playoffs so something’s going to have to give I don’t think they want to trade clay I don’t think they want to trade Draymond I think Wiggins is the one Chris Paul is

The one that you guys that we all could look at and say all right maybe they get moved here uh the early game last night of the NBA featured a great battle between the Bucks and the Spurs a game the Bucks won Giannis and and wemi going

Back and forth but wemi had a play in this game on his 20th birthday oh he had a few plays well but the one speci yeah the one specifically that I I’ll point out is the one Hees he puts behind his back and then dunks and it’s just

Ridiculous this guy does things that we’ve never seen done like ever and we’re showing it on ESPN 2 right now left to right behind his back with um around Lillard and then dunks over a seven footer in Brook Lopez who very easily could have won defensive player

Of the year last year he’s ridiculous wemy in what he’s able to accomplish yeah we thought around a term unicorn but I mean this dude is special I mean he had another play where Giannis is the on ball Defender he beats him off the bounce splits the double team throws it

Off the backboard and dunks it like it’s it’s just unbelievable and then he had the play where Giannis tries to musle him toward the end of the game and he ends up blocking giannis’s dunk at The Rim I mean this this guy’s coming Jan talked about a postgame he said if this

Guy can stay healthy and he continues to work he is going to be an absolute force in the NBA in the future like there’s all upside with Wendi I know that the Spurs have a terrible record but listen that’s not indicative of what kind of talent wanyama is like this dude is a

Superstar in the making get him a point guard too by the way yeah last night was an absolute highlight re for him and the fact that it was only his 20th birthday and this kid’s going to be around for a long time is really exciting for NBA

Fans for Spurs fans I don’t know there’s going to be a point in his career where I’ll be conditioned to seeing what he’s able to do with his body like I see some of these things that he’s able to do and I’m like how can you do that with the

Body that you’re in like a seven-footer hitting a halfcourt shot against the Warriors to win a game like you’re still not used to how amazing that is well good job CeCe you you have found a way to push off discussing your team the Lakers and all the drama around Darin

Ham and the rotations you great okay great you have longer takes wemi and joic and we yell at Pat and Nuno just so CeCe could avoid his Lakers and their struggles well done we’re on Sportsman like on ESPN Radio ESPN 2 presented by Spe speee spee foreign spee fore spe I For It’s your turn to B your team’s turn to pick to pick your team’s turn to pick Tock it’s your turn to [Applause] Pick 10 seconds remaining Shall de Bo Fore speee spee our Middle Lane Tower is under attack an enemy has been defeated Guardian dragon our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack an enemy has defeated our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack dragon and Slayer have appeared an ally has been defeated
