  1. This press was more fun the all asg fr😂 How u can really hate Jokic mann😭 Even if he was last pick it would be hilarious.. We all know he's asg game's(he don't give a sh.t)but we alsow know he's THE GAME'S 💀

  2. ngl I don't like them drafting in front of the players because of how awkward it is. Getting selected last at a park is very different than being last on an internationally televised game in front of millions. Plus we don't get as much legendary commentary from shaq or chuck since they're trying to speed through it.

  3. Joker is my favorite player in the league right now. Always available, passes, scores, rebounds, and doesn't run his mouth. I wish he would get a bit stronger and play some defense, but the dude is a center piece to any offense.

  4. The problem is nobody gives pretenders love. They did donovan and gobert dirty and they dod harden dirty. Lebron and the other picks try to let yall know pretenders dont get love from the league. Giannis still fighting to prove hes mvp and we ignore him over and advanced stat guy its ridiculous. Hes playing better defense and is second behind jjj in dpoy and will be a top 5 defender in the league until he chooses not to be

  5. He’s obviously lying.. he just didn’t want to be known as the last pick bc that’s exactly how his peers view him

  6. Stop the excuses the man said it himself believe him yall wish he could b mvp of this game huh lmmfao too many equals 4 him on this stage he does better against lesser talents

  7. Jokic is a good example of a person who plays the game well, minds his own business, dont care about the media or what people think and enjoys a very lucrative lifestyle in his homeland. Not fazed by the American lifestyle.

  8. 😂 happy birthday jokics 🎉..
    you just drop the bomb on how boring the all star game is right now. you dont belong to this kind of games😅

  9. Picking up him « last » in this all-star game is a bad idea for other teams. He will fire up to get the MVP for 3rd time and become NBA champions this season.

  10. Just remove the useless Summer League and replace it with ASG for better calendar timing and excitement. Keeping ASG event in the mid of the seasons calendar would make the player not take it seriously anymore as they would rather just do play for fun with a bit of a 'safe play' practices, making them care more about their health condition & momentum for the rest of the league series after it to made it to playoffs. ASG quality has been sucks for year

  11. When even Larry Markkanen would have been picked ahead of you, you know you're the best at nothing.

  12. Phenomenal player yo I wasn't sold at first, but yeah he's not a spot light top player, he's definitely humble and a team player

  13. The all star game was unwatchable this year. Just a waste of time really.
    If players actually played basketball, he would have been a much higher pick.

  14. Jokic can barely run up the court it was embarrassing to watch such an overrated player . Are we really gonna say Jokic would win these MVP’s against Michael Jordan? Because if MJ was in the NBA today Jokic would still have better advanced states than MJ

  15. Both him and Luka just treat an Allstar game as a meh day, which is unfortunate as fans cause we actually want to see them ball againsts top players but I'm happy for them they got their priorities straight

  16. He shouldn’t have one back to back mvps. Period. He wins cause of politics. Embid should have one last year. Giannis and LBJ could win every year.

  17. ASG is generally dull, but this one was especially so. Here, someone mentioned that ASG is used for personal promotion. So, what exactly did we witness here – Tatum can score 55 points in 48 minutes while practicing?

  18. Joker, and Ja handled this game really well. Very selfless, passed the ball, weren't really interested in stardom on this night. Somebody else could have the spotlight.
