While I agree to a certain extent you'd need to put curry in the conversation as well. Man is gone for 1 year and the media thinks he washed up and his entire legacy is in question
Dude you are just mad xD cuz Curry is not MVP its sad.
@@savabozanic6037 no I agree that Nikola won the mvp fair and square. As much as I love curry his team didn't Make the playoffs so I already knew he wasn't getting it
Please make one about campazzo someday!!!
Giannis is by far the most disrespected player in the league by both media and players ( and many fans )
Triple Double in fourteen minutes? Damn, Jokic out here doing the Russell Westbrook speedrun
@Marko Botic Fitness doesn't really matter. Jokic and Luka play comfortably and last long you got to have some meat on you or you'll snap like AD.
The difference between him and Westbrook is that he also makes his team better
Russell Who?
man Serbian are so crazy about jokic that they'd lie about stats and everything to make him look better lol
only difference is that Jokic has legit triple doubles and not fake ones
The dude literally plays however he wants to play at ANY level and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. GOAT
GOAT ? ? Lol.
@@allanhouston6759 you will see that soon
@@allanhouston6759 Totally GOAT in passing..
He is not the goat
@@ClassicBodybuildingPics Jordan will be goat to the end of all.
This aged beautifully
A small market, unmarketable foreign player that so happens to be one of the best players in the world is like ESPNs worst nightmare lol, I love Jokic and hope he continues to destroy the league for years
Great comment.
Denver is a mid market.
@@xbracket3735 they’re big for football but no one there really cares about basketball
Same problem the leauge had with Kareem
@@donnyg9993 I think college basketball is big in Colorado
Reasons the NBA arrogant clowns dislike The Joker are numerous:
1- not American
2- not African American
3- Serbian
4- doesn't give a *hit about selling stupid overpriced plastic shoes made in China
5- soooo good he makes them look bad
6- humble
7- intelligent
8- sense of humor
The whole world is watching and beginning to smell the BS. The more they ignore him the sweeter and more amazing his legendary career will be. True sports phenomenon.History will be veeeeery kind to The Joker.
🐐
True
So true 👍
they love luka what are you talking about, nikola is just not as in your face great unless you pay attention to him
As far as I understand American fans love Jokic. Media does not.
I had that crazy luck to watch young Jokic in my hometown in Serbia where he played for Mega. Great video, made me subscribe.
change that alphabet
Finale protiv amerike, jokic je bio mnogo izgubljen a sad nba mvp🤯
i thought i was lucky for realizing his greatness early in his nba career, i wish i was there when he was balling in serbia
You were genuinely blessed
Nikola wearing a pink Mega jersey made him the Joker he is now
One thing the video misses: unlike Harden and Westbrook, Jokic drops triple-doubles with relatively MUCH LOWER usage rates. And he's wildly, wildly efficient, with some of the highest PER in the league.
He's a superstar who doesn't need the ball for most of the game. I don't think that's very normal. I also think it's amazing.
I think he's number one at PER right now.
And also he doesn’t stat pad
actually highest PIR in NBA history..
What I enjoy about these euro guys is that regardless of how good they are they don't have any desire to outshine their teammates and have no issue to deliver more then asked of them. Great attitudes towards the sport. I'm sure Greg Popavic would've loved guys like Jokic, Doncic & Giannis on his spurs (post Duncan)
true that. even though I'm not a spurs fan, when kawhi wanted to be traded, I was hoping that the spurs would trade him for jokic. unleashing his ability even more with the spurs system
post-Parker and Ginobili too!
@@habu2140 i dont know why the spurs never got jokic or jahlil okafor man
@@josephadesanya1683 shit was sad man smh. imagine jokic throwing lobs to Lonnie and build up an offense with dejounte. that's pure basketball ecstasy
Very true
Man you are such a talent for storytelling just like Jokic for basketball.
One of the most efficient player i've ever seen. Doesn't matter if he becomes mvp or not. He'll be part of history considering his stats and ridiculous consistancy
well, he is the mvp. too bad Nuggets were incomplete due to Murray's injury. hope they make it deep next year
He’s setting a new standard for the traditional big. Traditional bigs have been getting phased out for some time, but Jokic’s impact on winning may be building a new archetype for what future centers will be.
well, he is back-to-back MVP)))
"how does a simple 16 points 22 rebounds and 13 assists sound to you?"
Give me that player lmao
@Willie Gordon I'd say he is already, in the last 3 years they've been a 2 seed and back to back 3 seed. Melo was great but not as complete, and Fat Lever was only part of what Jokic does
The best part of Jokic that he is also a charming character outside of the court!
He’s kind of got the Tim Duncan effect. Not flashy or athletic. Doesn’t make him popular to the casual fan.
His passing is pretty flashy imo.
@@jordvorenholt9176 I think he meant with his persona, but you got a point.
put my money on what you said... its similar to ZBO.. He wasnt super athletic but let me tell you once that man went to work very few players where able to stop MR. Randolph...
They hated on him too, even 5 titles later.
Not flashy? No nuance lol
Watching this is weird, as this video is infinitely more important now than ever
Could’ve pointed out that he was the most efficient player this year, had the highest +/- , and highest usage rate. And for more than half the season was top 10 in every major stat category. This is why he’s easily this season mvp
and he DIDNT MISS A SINGLE GAME
@@pramitz6500 right every game he played
Holy fuck, I was mid way through when I realized that you only have 65 subs wtf, this is really amazing content, great pacing, entertaining. I hope you take off man
that's one of the nicest comments i've received so far on my channel. thank you.
Well he's got 108 today 😁 well done
I legit thought you were joking until I checked, damn. 200 now!
@@danieldekic3518 Did you hear that Nikola Jokic is good friends with Luka Doncic off the court
@Groovy it seems like Nikola Jokic likes to pick at Luka
Lived in Denver as a kid then moved back to the UK. Discovered my love for basketball at the late age of 18. Start watching the NBA, see Warriors dominating every year. Decide to support my home team as I liked this big guy called Jokic, bought his jersey, watched them lose to portland but happy they made it to the playoffs and took a series. Next year watch them come back from 3-1 down twice just to lose to the lakers. I was sad but that run was so incredible I had to believe they could go all the way next year. Now present day and Jokic is the MVP had a good playoff run without his partner in crime. Even though I had little to no knowlege of basketball when I started watching I saw something special in this guy and Im so happy we have such a talented player on the nuggets.
Im watching this after 2022 and 2023
In 20 years, Jokic will be recognized as someone who has transformed the way players play in the center/power forward position, something similar to what Steph Curry did with a three-point shot.
First of all, I mean the higher participation of "Big's" in the organization of the game and more assists on average.
Examples are:
Bam Adebayo (increased from 2.2 to 5.4 assists)
Domantas Sabonis (increase from 2.9 to 6.7 assists)
Julius Randle (increased from 3.1 to 6 assists)
Well we all have seen the passes (including the one handed pass to start an attack), 3 point scoring and the IQ, and the name of the center was Arvydas Sabonis. Of course he tells his own son to work more on footwork and pass more. NB I dont deny that Nikola is exceptional. All the respect to Denver scouts, analysts and decision makers.
@@unikaluspaveldas5644 Players are limited by what their coaches allow them to do. Nikola's example will lead to more big players being allowed to play that way.
he reminds me of vlade divac
@@unikaluspaveldas5644 Did you hear that Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic are friends
@@unikaluspaveldas5644 bro sabonis never averaged like more than 2 assists a game what are you on
to think that after this video was made, he’d go on to have his best two seasons of his career
2:20 Going ham in Serbia is no joke. Serbia, Greece, and Croatia are slept on often despite their history of ballers in any sport; Tennis, NBA, they got crazy good Athletes in southern Europe.
Big love for serbia from Canada, joker the mvp
Dont forget Football, Handball, Volleyball Waterpolo also.
Facts!!
@@user-ov6xm1zx7p Serbian volleyball is insane in the women’s division
Love from Greece brother
Who's here after Jokic vs Morris ... and Morris went down so fast like there was a sniper in the buliding?
now here's a real nba fan.
Anyone come back here after the nuggets got the larry O'Brien trophy?
Jokic is definitely MVP this year and has become my favorite player after Steph. With the Warriors out I'm rooting for the Nuggets this year!
1:20 *SLEEPING DURING DRAFT* 😂😂 I love Nikola Jokić a legend in NBA History…
Dude, I'm happy to be here under 100 subs, I feel you are going to take off if you keep making this type of content. Basketball CZcams needs more videos like this, not just NBA takes, but a mini documentary. There is a lot for baseball and also tennis. I want to see more vids like this. Very sick!
This was a great video! And as of today he's officially the MVP! I'm so happy Jokic finally got the recognition he deserves.
Nicola doesn't even care about the stats, he just wants to win, love it!!!
Man, what a video 🥰
Thank you for that ❤️
You made my day from the start.
Hey man more videos like this you're sure to blow up. Keep it up man!!
Bruh how the hell have u only got 700 subs? Top quality, top analysis, great editing and I could go on and on... the joker is the goat he deserves more than anyone this MVP just like ur channel deserves way more subscribers. Let the time play his role you will achieve greatness just like Nikola did! Keep up the hard work things will follow!
He is the most revolutionary big the NBA has ever seen. He is singlehandedly stripping away position basketball by averaging elite point guard scoring numbers while simultaneously putting up some of the best defensive performances in history. Legend.
The moment they started to play him over Nurkic I knew we had something special... the dude was putting together triple doubles constantly in 2017 and I was convinced he would be a superstar. Fast forward to today and he's the best Center in the NBA and the MVP
Dude did you hit a line between 3:35 and 3:36 😂. I love it!
LOL how could you not get hyped with those numbers??? he's a legend!
@@dylandoesbasketball What do you think it would be like if Nikola Jokic got traded to the Dallas Mavericks and Kristap Porzingiz got traded to the Denver Nuggets 🤔
@@nealsmall9316 the nuggets wouldn’t do that, jokic is a special type of talent that is untouchable on the trade market.
@@nealsmall9316 Donic with Jokic. League domination.
Great content man, your channel is gonna blow up quick! Keep pumping out great videos like this one 💯
Really enjoy the style of video man! KEEP GOING!
Wow!! How can you not have more subs?? That was an excellent video man!!! Loved it and watched the whole thing!!
This enjoyable to watch. Thanks man!
Thanks for making this video, I wanted to know more about him, one of the reasons being his signature shoot being named after his(and my) hometown.
We're gonna need part 2 ... He is even better this season :D There is no limit to his greatness
Damn , dude got drafted during a Taco Bell commercial now that's just disrespectful
This is great man, Salute! 🙌🏾
I've been watching your videos for about 3 hours straight before I found this one about my favorite player
if the Joker was black they would have already crowned him the best big man ever
nice work man. you did your research!

Great video
Great content brotha keep it up definitely subscribed
That "old school" Balkan style of basketball
I honestly already forgot how many crazy performances he already had in the playoff and how he always performs in close games.
This video ages like a fine wine
I only noticed that you have 202 subscribers now that the video has ended, nice video bro
He's like Andres Iniesta of Barcelona or Busquets. In the eye of a basketball lover like me who loves watching Rondo, Rubio, RudyGob, Green, Nash, Jason kidd, Duncan, KG, Gasol Brothers. This guy had it all
Ronaldinho
@@manakandi maybe.
I love seeing praise for jokic. Good research great video.
Great video man, you just got another sub :)
Wow this video really popped of congrats
Excellent!!!
Tako je brate nas srpski. Everything u say is True, i remmember these matches.
Great video man!
Very happy that Jokic is in the league. He fills a gap that Dirk left. Humble and fun guy with great skill. Love his character and game a lot.
Great narration.
thanks for watching!
Watched the whole video from beginning to end... As a Nuggets Fan I Love This Shit! $ubscribed!
This aged like milk. Kidding. Glad Jokic got MVP. Great content. Keep it up.
Aaaaaaand Nuggets finished the Lakers with sweep, marking this as the first time they won a Conf. Finals. Jokic really clutched it out as did the team. Chip time babyyyyyy 🏆🏆🏆
On top of that, the first time they have a finals appearance
Great and hard work. Nice video man. Sub...
thanks for the vid. suns denver going to be fun series :)
I like this channel. We will watch your career with great interest.
Nikola Jokic went from being the best big man of all time to best NBA player of all time!
JOKIC BEST EVER !!!!
Nick Wright is a mediocre journalist at best.He is self proclaimed "basketball expert" who's basketball
"analysis" is shallow and shamefull.
He constantly craving for attention using the most ridicoulus narratives
in order to discredit Nikola Jokić
accolades and achievements.Numbers: PER, + - and all the other advanced metrics and stats can' t lie but Nick (Never)
Wright can.It's all about his lame interpretations constantly trying to downplay the fact that Nikola Jokić is a dominant force in NBA while playing withot Murray and MPJ.
Earned my sub. Great video
....update::
Now he's won an NBA title.
The fact that 90% of “analyst” couldn’t pronounce his name correctly til after he was an all star is just sad
That is America for you. Man in Europe every comentator you watch, even italians who are notorious for no knowing languages, will mostly pronounce everyone correctly. That is just lack of preparation and arogance.
For me one of Jokić's most memorable play will be the double behind the back dribble for a layup. That's some basketball God type stuff.
never going to happen their franchise players maybe at the end of jokic Career but that a big if .those calibre of players usaully retire with the teams that drafted them
I was so excited to watch this video actually but I couldn't get through 4 minutes because of your voice damn it man
i am convinced that jokic is dylan's fave player ever
This Nuggets team reminds me of the Spurs of old. Just quietly winning games on efficiency and fundamentals
You got a sub.. cool video..
You sound like the guy who did the recaps for Star Wars the Clones Wars TV show. Extremely animated and a hype man.
Watching this right now while they're 1 win away for his 1st ring
lebum and media trying hard to make curry win mvp
Yup... Salty blm ppl
Does curry not stand a chance?
@@HBG313 hell no might not even make the playoffs
I love Stephen Curry no Matter what...😇💖
Agree, but if Curry was in PO he was MVP.
Much respect to the 2020-2021 MVP Nikola Jokic 👏🏿
Your channel rocks
Its crazy that I was lucky to meet Jokic in my hometown in Serbia.Definitely my favourite player in nba
You did sleep on Jokic. You pretty much predicted how Joker's career would take him to the championship this year. Good job.
