Jalen brunson is like Allen iverson skills with Chauncey billups leadership.
He's been a champion at every level basketball, High School, Mr Illinois basketball. Took USA u-18 to a gold medal.
College 2 time national champion with Villanova.
Dragged mavs with no Luka to the WCF, then now has turned the knicks into a team that are 1 game away from the same feat.
He'll be a champion at the professional level too, maybe not this year but definitely in his career. 💯 🏀 👑
I was with you until two parts. Luka dominated in the second round. Brunson just backpacked the first round against the Jazz. And its gonna be rlly tough for him to get a ring. West is stacked.
He has absolutely smashed my expectations of him, out of seemingly nowhere, so severely that I just cannot doubt him carrying a team to the chip.
He dragged the Mavs to the 2nd round. Luka was healthy and playing for the Pheonix series.
This 4 year peak is as good as youre gonna see. GOAT level offensive production at the highest level
Jokic is cementing himself as a top 15 player all time
15? Top 10 for sure
He’s def above Shaq already!
Too soon buddy, though shaq is a boring retarded old person we need more like 2 year of mvp level more jokic and maybe atleast 2 more trophy if 3 total and 3 mvp(which he has)@@kohta20
@@kohta20relax not yet, he might get there though
@@Jaetootactskill wise, yes- Jokic is the far more skilled basketballer.
Idgaf about awards and trophies - that doesn't factor into how skillful a player is.
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
Two wordz mos def
The silence after MacMahon read the first definition of crucible was hilarious. :)
Everyone is now a hindsight analyst after Nuggets win 3 straight. Most analysts essentially said the series was over went T-Wolves went up 2:0
Not me brother. I called it after game 2. They looked the same against the Jazz in the bubble. Bad. Against Gobert and Connelly. They were resilient just as they were here. Our memories are short. Mine too, but here I trust Jok. He’s a madman with the ball and his mind. The more time with someone the more lethal he is.
Patience Daniel Son.
There are only 2 'intros' I dont skip... Bosch and The Hoop Collective
Cant skip the Lowe Post intro 😂😂
You should watch the No Dunks Podcast. The best intros in the game
@@kraw3026 WELCOME TO
Never skip The Lowe Post intro
@@daniel2pantojaFuckin hilarious
Thank you for talking real talk on the Thunder game! some of the only ones who actually speak on the game and not just Luka being hurt or whatever other bs hating from everyone on the media besides Bryan and few others! Why I listen to yall!
As a Thunder season ticket holder, we know that Giddey needs to be benched lol. Everyone wants that 😂
I randomly had a dream that Bontemps got an award at a NBA game, and the entire crowd booed him while he was walking to center court to receive it.
Time for Luka to use his 2 buddies’ performances as inspiration to show out in Game 5 vs OKC
Best podcast 💯
Always look forward to it
Can one of you guys ask Hartenstein how he says his name?!
if you wanna pronounce it the german way you'd have to pronounce the 'ei' like 'I', definitely not like 'ee'...
Jokic and the nuggets were actively targeting Gobert, the DPOY. They wanted him on the court and gaurding jokic. Idk how many times this has happened in the NBA where the DPOY is being absolutely cooked like this
The year Tyson Chandler won DPOY for the knicks got bodied by Roy Hibbert in the playoffs.
In 2001 the 4x dpoy, dikembe mutumbo, played the MVP from the previous year, Shaq, in the finals and Shaq massacred him. Great offense will always prevail
People plugging examples like this is what makes the internet amazing.
Wemby already is probably the best defender of Jokic but Jokic still gets his against him lol
Should be an interesting matchup over the years as Wemby gets bigger. Was surprised at how well he matched up this year already.
Joke averaged like 34@@Earl_E_Burd
Nope. OG defends Jokic well as the primary defender when he was on Raps under NN. Defending Jokic requires more than size& height.
Best comedy show ever 🥳
Brooooo rest up geeezzz
39:39 I’m getting real scary campfire story vibes from McMahon.
"NeW yOrK cItY!??" (Legendary Pace picante sauce commercials 80's and 90's for you non-geriatrics)
3:39 Drayclown on tnt: i disagree 😂
Hahahaaha Tim MacMahon is funny as hell ;D the jokes about Mat Ishbiathe Suns owner lol 🤣🤣
Love the podcast. Polite suggestion. Please stop saying ‘curb stomped’.
Makes me cringe every time. I add it to my list of deprecated sayings that show someone who is emotionally repressed and hasn't done their work, which Bontemps checks many of those boxes.
The Thunder are a legitimate contender?! Bontemps is crazy 😂😂😂
Celtic fans do not care about who is in front of them. All they can do is beat who is in front of them.
Quit complaining about Boston whipping these teams! They're supposed to.
East is so weak. Especially with the injuries.
They talk about the Knicks getting depleted as a bad thing/unsustainable, but then supposedly the Celtics not getting depleted is a bad thing?
Once the Deuce got Loose, the Pacers are Caboose
I want to be flown all over America and stay in hotels too Brian Windhorst, let me be your apprentice or something dammit. I already tell everyone irl at work you are the smartest person on espn and continually destroy everyone on your panels
Do you want to live in Omaha though too?
If you've ever had a job that keeps you on the road, it really gets old quickly. He's not there on vacation.
Being a road warrior is a fastpass to: 80-hr workweeks, bad sleep habits, terrible eating habits (major socializing component), and surrounded by alcoholics who are on their 4th marriage. Did it for 8 years for IT projects. Just sayin.
CSI Windy, whats on the bottle?
You guys don't think Embiid has given trouble to Jokic in the past (defensively), or Wemby in that last game blocked him a couple of times and won a game the Nuggets were actually trying to win. Otherwise, no one can guard him. He is 1 of 1, undisputed best player in the league.
Joel doesn't guard joker I'm their matchups
@@brashadcarr6759 he has guarded him most of his matchups, this year they tried different things bc Nick Nurse was the coach
Windy losing weight. Pretty good.
As OKC physically and mentally mature, they'll overtake the Nuggets. They are so young. They have the right coach to develope talent, playing at least 10 guys in the regular season rotation. Presti has used Sam Hinkie's formula, minus chronic injuries to the best player.
Jokic does back-scratchers in game?? Mike Malone must have turned up his vertical from 27 to 47 lol
U all must admit he's destroying nba for 4 straight years and he's best in the world for 4 years. He top 10 already. U all must admit it and u all gonna fill so much better i promise you! 🙌💥😉🤫
Haha weirdo. Suck him off then.
Top 10 all have long runs. He is well on his well but people love recency bias and prisoner of the moment. Give it time. Steph was unanimous MVP, beloved by all, and had to get 4 chips before being discussed in top 11.
Brian looks sleepy lol
Dude has to do getup in studio! He looks like bleach!
He always looks that way.
Let's stop saying curb stomp, it's truly disturbing imagery
benching giddey was a mistake bontemps
3-3
I CAN WATCH NBA PODCASTS AGAIN!!!
Congrats on your parole
Shaq is the laziest top 15 player in his sport of all time. Shaq was not a skilled basketball player. He just gained a bunch of weight at nearly 400 POUNDS and became an immovable object and probably 24-28% body fat. This means he was very chubby/nearly obese. He had two post moves and that was it. He didn’t learn how to shoot anything, had a ton of help in his career from First Team NBA stars, and his coaches were all aware of his hypersensitive.
He is still a top 4 center in NBA history. Duncan played more C than PF so you can say top 5 at his position.
Tim Bontemps the coach. 😂
What is the point in having RUDY in the playoffs??? I get JOKIC is the best but at this point Rudy is a liability. These guys are handing the 4 TIME DEFENSIVE PLAYER of the year a PASS?????
Especially when you have Naz Reid
Dallas swept the Lakers in 2011 when they were the defending champs...
I want to know who it is that has invaded Kyrie Irving's body? Defense first, just fitting in and doing the little things to win? Kevin Durant put out an APB for his friend, Kyrie Irving.
Mike Conley has an Achilles injury?
That suuuuux.
He’s 80% of Minnesota’s IQ.
What you talking about lmaooooo. 15% if that. AE literally won them 2 games
@@Big_AL_Nowitzki If AE didn't have elite, elite athleticism and shooting, he would be bouncing around the league. He's still learning the game and has just started scratching the surface of playmaking.
Jokic dominating the league just proved American players are no longer the best players in the world. İnternational players are going to dominate NBA few years from now
So what bro why do you act like the rest of the world is disabled or something bring it on the more talent the better
Lol. The best players are still overwhelmingly American. It's not like there's 10 Jokers in the NBA.
He right the top 4 players in the league this year are all international Jokic SGA Luka & Gannis
International players were always the better players, they just never really get the opportunity to show their talents until in the 90s and they were the ones with US affiliation. The others are lost in the sauce because people were only interested on the college US players
I'd say now its just fair across the board. Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka, Shai, Ant, and Wemby will likely dominate the league for the next 5 years. Lots of different countries with France on the rise for sure.
By the way………….
Take a drink geez dude by the way……
Nuggets Should Advance but it’s Still going 7 OKC wins tonight also but Mavs win 7 Cavs playoffs over Mitchell should wanna be traded if cabs don’t get help Knicks gone win in 7 pacers trash on the road great at home
Give me a nuggets-Knicks finals. Knicks are the only team that can give Denver a fight.
Stop it. How about you all get through the semis first. This is why Draymond Green came out and put NyKnicks fans on notice. The playoffs are no cake in the park. If Rick & some of his players played with some mental toughness & want to they would have been the one closing out the series on Friday. Game 1 especially at MSG was theirs to win & Hali and others let the officiating get to them. If you think Celtics will let Brunson run amok like he did with Pacers if Knicks advanced you will be humble.
Darius Garland is just too small to be paired with Donovan Mitchell in today's NBA. Length, length and length. If you don't have it, you better be Steph Curry.
This clearly show how Denver took all the energy from BW😂🤣😂 He seems tired talking about how denver is beating the wolves..
Nuggets smoked Minnesota 420
You guys go so easy on Tyrese haliburton he played bad in game 1 and game 5 these are soft takes

Joker is an all timer on one side of the ball but im curious why every team in the league doesnt hunt s him on defense on EVERY single possession, at worst you get a good shot in an iso and the best case scenario you get him in foul trouble an get him off the floor
You don't watch him
2nd in Def. rebounds, 8th in total steals. He has quick hands. He gets blocks and steals. When he gets beat he doesn't make dumb fouls. He's a big boy to go through, gotta speed past him.
@@Earl_E_BurdI know what the person is talking about. He is a little slow and his lateral movement is not good. Steal & rebounds are only part of D. Steals especially is not a good determinant of being a good defender.
One thing to be sure of is that commenters on yt know better than 29 other nba coaching staffs.
@Earl_E_Burd as an example the podcast after game 2 I think Bontemps was making the point of how many times the wolves were putting Murray an Joker specifically into the PnR at the same time an the success rate was astronomical, if I want a favorable 1v1 matchup I'd rather go against Jokic instead of KCP/Gordon/MPJ or even Murray.. point I'm making is go at the weakest link and force the other team to adjust so something else opens up for you
When did the nba start allowing you to switch pivot foots without it being called ?? Joker’s a beast but he was doing it all night.
Hahah that's becouse u dumb casual 🤡😉🤫
I saw that, too. They went from 2 steps, to 3 steps, to 3.5 steps and can change pivot foots if you do it in a certain way.
Re: Jokic - SHAQ would eat his breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I will respectfully disagree with "there isn't a person alive that can guard Jokic when he is cooking".
Giannis, AD, and Embiid can, and you will soon see Jaren Jackson Jr in Memphis, Wemby in San Antonio, and Jalen Duran in Detroit be valid candidates in the future.
In the case of the young talent referenced, they will get seasoned with experience, get physically stronger, and be even more effective than they are today.
Don't look at Gobert looking like a "two left feet dancer" on the perimeter when guarding Jokic, he clearly doesn't use his feet properly when asked to defend like a guard.
Even in the low post defence he lets Jokic get around him on the baseline and under the hoop, thus negating his height.
If Gobert were smart, he'd be cutting him off at the baseline and forcing him into the middle so a perimeter player would collapse/double, or have the weak side 7 footer come for assistance on a block.
Worse case scenario, Jokic pulls up for a fade away jumper on the baseline, and should be make it, hats off to him.
The minute Gobert allows Joker to straddle and dribble along the baseline, it is over because the defense is now broken.
....but that is a coaching issue.
And it stupefying to see such poor defensive strategy (baseline protection) on an NBA/Professional team.
Lol.
Love u so SALTY it's hurts a lot i can smell from here, 😭🤣 LOVEEEE IT 😉🤫🤡
@@ljutko7
Huh? Salty?
I have no doubt that Embiid and Giannis are more effective players. Their defensive prowess is undeniable.
This hilarious. AD gets absolutely cooked by Jokic. Wemby probably the only one. Would love to see Giannis Jokic or Embiid Jokic in a 7 game matchup bt those two dudes are slacking
ALso why did you put Duren in there when he isnt close to the best defender of the young guys. Chet, Wemby, and Mobley are the next generation of great big men defenders.
