We are breaking down Jokic’s game and all the ways his play style is revolutionizing the NBA. Nikola Jokic just won his first NBA Championship and Finals MVP. He's been defying all odds and putting his name in the GOAT passer debate.

Yes. Yes he is. And I've been watching the NBA for 55 years and was a huge Magic fan.
Nah i dont believe this. An oldhead saying a current player is better than former player?? Impossible 😂😂
i've been watching since 87 and i agree.
@@lower.backpainonly when it’s true
@acezay7791 and this isn't true
It is a bit soon to say, but he belongs in the same conversation with Magic and Larry Bird.
He is heads and shoulders above Lebronze and CP3.
Jokic is one of my favorite players. This is such a great story
If you don't love this guy and this guy's game......you don't know how to evaluate anybody, any sport, anywhere. There's nothing like him. He is the Rising Tide that Lifts All Boats....
He is one of the best passer in any position❤
Think he needs another championship before we start moving him ahead of the greatest. Championships matter when it comes to greatness. Jokic the only reason I watch basketball.
Nikola is my favorite NBA player today. He is a phenominal passer. But you also need to watch some old films of Arvydas Sabonis in the 80s-90s and Wilt in the 60s-70s. Before the NBA Wilt was a Harlem Globetrotter for a year.
The best point guard forward center👍👌☝️
I have never seen a player with such an impact on the game since I have been watching basketball since 1995.
💯 he is incredible
Neither have I, & watching since 1965.
Nikola Jokić is the best passer of all times - his passes are the most intelligent.
He’s in the pantheon of greatest passers already which is just a testament to his skill. For me though it’s probably going to be hard to beat Magic or Stockton. It’s mainly because of consistency. Jokic is more to his team than a facilitator so he has nights where the team needs something different from him. Magic and Stockton did it every night. Especially Stockton who’s the epitome of consistency and greatness in being a floor general and great passer. If Jokic stays consistently great and continues an upward trajectory he’ll be competing for a different all time title and with a different player who wore the no.23. People need to revel in the fact that they get to see a guy like Jokic play. He’s a once in a generation talent. He’s not just another anointed no.23 clone, he’s his own player who’s carved out a niche for himself. He’s really special.
Well said. He has carved out his own path, he is truly incredible. 🙌
has Stockton ever talked about Jokic?
@@mutivoda I haven't seen that, would be interesting.
You beat me to it. Jokic is a great big man passer like Bird and James, so for a tall man the point is valid.
He is the best passer in NBA history, center position and passing like a PG... so sick, hi from Serbia, the land of basketball : )
Hello Serbia from Minnesota.
Hello Serbia from tennessee. Thank you so much for sending us all your great players. I think you should get a franchise in the nba. What do you think?
Idemooo BRE🫡✅🇷🇸 🇺🇸
Walton was better
@@rmcfetelmaooo go sleep and never speak on basketball again dude. Blasphmey. Walton ffs put the pipe down
that taco bell commercial is the best money spent on marketing in the last century. it is shown and mentioned every time the draft comes up.
I know right. So funny. 😆
Yes he is Nikola Jokic one of the best ever ❤️
I love Jokic! Him and Luka are my favorite players! Both such unique and special talents! If not for Jokic, Luka could lay claim to the craftiest passer in the NBA.
Seriously. They are both incredibly crafty passers. So fun to watch. 🙌
Boys and Girls in Serbia 🏀❤️💪👏👏👏
7 000 000 people There are two teams in the Olympics. 🕺And 💃 teams🏀 and basket 3x3 best on the 🌍
His highlight reel not over
All you gotta do is look for the players with the best reflexis and surround him with them those passes are insane
The highlight where Shaq responded,'I like this guy.' I vividly recall watching that game.
The next day, I told everyone at work that he might be the best passing center ever.
Everyone laughed.
You were right all along
Ill never look at taco bell the same way again
right 😂
A generational player, he is fun to watch.
👊🏀
Can’t say anything, that hasn’t been already said about these Genius.
To the creator of this video: Thank you. Very informative and entertaining at the same time. Well done Sir.
Thank you, I appreciate it. More coming soon. 🙌
Even Nike is doubtful. Didn't give him a good contract.😅😅😅. The next goat.
🤣
😆😆😆Nike is confused🫣🥹💀😂😂😂Go Nuggets🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
Jokic is the best passer of all time. Magic is the only basketball player besides Jokic for whom there are strong arguments that he is the best ever in that segment of the game. American fans have trouble understanding this, and many basketball fans from the rest of the world have known this for a long time.
Love his perfect timing for jump and block, he haven't athletic abilities like many other great NBA players, but he have PERFECT timing for jumping : )
If his body holds up, and he avoids any serious injuries (which I sincerely hope happens), he will quickly become one of greatest players in NBA history, next to Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Bird, Chamberlain, James, etc. He is one of the players that's making NBA fun to watch again. Great video. Keep it up! Subscribed!
Completely agree. He is so fun to watch. Makes it look effortless. 🏀🙌
He is already one of the greats…He was that before winning chip
Jordan-Bird-Kobe-Jokic-Stockton
@@sizzerb4218 they would need at least 3 basket balls to play with...
Damn.. what a dream team!!! Best pick l’ve seen so far. 😃
He is! Period!
👊🏀
Yes, he is the best passers of all time in NBA.
Also guy is such a pro always wears a suit!
He is todays Larry Bird.
He has to start trash talking!!!! Why doesn't he trash talk??
I'm starting to admire Jocik, the big man in basketball. I'm truly impressed by his ability to make assists that turn into points. I hope he becomes the best player ever, especially since he's still young and has the potential to surpass even the greatest players in the NBA.
Great analysis of joker got my sub Denver nuggets fan here😅
He's awesome no doubt, but the beauty of the magic man... Was the fast brake, Lakers period was show time, the fast break was mesmerizing, it was magic.
Larry Bird was amazing, what could he not do, and he would say what he would do and do it!
JOKIC!!! ☝️🏀🏆👏💪🫶
🏆💪🙌
He's at least just as talented at passing as magic and magic is in top 5 conversations off that alone, I don't think it's a stretch for jokic to become the goat if he wins like this into his mid 30s
agreed 💯
Yes he is
True story, well done....
Ofc he is!More versatile passer than Magic,Bird and Nash. For example his baseball and NFL passes i never saw from any other player.
for sure, he's different.
Sorry but you just said Nikola was a more versatile passer than Larry Bird which I don’t think is an argument you could support then your next sentence is an admission you didn’t see Larry play. ??
It’s a little weird and disrespectful to pretend you saw a player just to try and shit on them because you like another one. 😂
Larry was much less ball dominant than anyone else on a best passer list so it’s somewhat natural that his elite passing would be overlooked but as the video said Larry is probably the best outlet/inbound passer the game ever saw.
@@jubjubhenry5612 i watched Bird in 80' s more than you think and i tell you Nikola is much better passer than him. Period
He is young have lot of games in him and can be only better
Agreed. He is still young, many years to improve even more.
imagine how underrated (by the US sports media) and overpowered an ALL EU NBA 1st team would be lmao right now.
yes i realize that would be ridiculous but you can't tell me it wouldn't be hilarious.
Lmao reinstalled and decided to do a "FOR FUN" myGM on 2k22. (The Luka edition so had to pick the mavs)
Picked up Giannis, and signed his brother from free agency, porzingas still on the team, obviously picked up Jokic, and since i have the antetokoumpo's i figured i should collect the other bogdonavich too lmao.
Obviously WAY over sallary cap but i've seen too many fantasy sims to not think it's all in good fun
I'm old enough to have seen Magic play live, and he was truly something special. The things he did just in front of me was amazing. We didn't really understand how he did it. But he did. I haven't had the chance to see Jokic though live. But judging out of all games I've seen on screen I'ma say Jokic does make a good run for it. However Magic was generational on another level given how he transformed the art of passing, so I still think Magic will always be seen as the passing GOAT, even though technically Jokic might be better now.
Of the modern era, yes, for sure
The 80s had magic and bird, we have luka and joker. As for which is better, rn i still have magic and bird on top, but im not saying i wouldnt change my mind by the time they retire
I've thought about this exact question for way too many hours over the last few years. &...
Yeah, unless he quits or dies pretty quickly, I think he's already got one hand ont he trophy 🏆. Skill level, artistic merit, and sheer volume, he's the GOAT 🐐 A 7' Hybrid of Magic & Bird. So grateful he plays for my team. 🃏is the best thing to ever happen to my Nuggets. ⛏🏀🏆✌
Well said, he's truly a generational talent. Lucky to have him with the Nuggets. 🏀✌
If I managed to be the best. You can all succeed. Believe in your abilities and dreams.😊❤
Walton was a great passer to. I see that same expertice in him.
Nikola Jokić it’s definitely one of the best players . And please don’t forget he’s still young. You still have a time to be 3 the best players ever.
You mean 4th…One was stolen,like they stole couple grand slams from Djokovic…They can’t stand Serbian domination in world sports so they simply ban them and steal their trophies 😆😆😆We need a new word for pathetic and weakness of the one in “power” and “control”😁😁😁
👏👏👏
Yes
I know you just started but man you got the recipe down for basketball content perfectly!!!
Thanks man! That means a lot. I got a lot more coming. 🙌
Id put Jokic, Lebron, Nash, etc. together. Bird and Magic are still the best because of their swag. I have Maravich in between.
This is called Awareness.
Only players with an High IQ are able to "Control" everything around them.
Larry Bird was the Prime example of a player with complete Awareness of what was happening in any part of the "Floor".
Very Special, Intelligent and Super Gifted Players.
He never even hits the rim in this vidio unless its off the backboard first
Great defensiveness rebounder too. His height let him do passes they can't make. If you stop him from moving he just becomes a better passer standing. That's the key to stopping the others. I'm going to say another championship before I move him ahead of Magic.
I think he will be more than best passer ever, with his "low effort" and non-physical gameplay, he can play without injury for the rest of his career.
88 subs but with this type of content? Hope your channel grow.
Key take away on your vid, Jokic skills is Larry+Magic.
Appreciate that. Agreed Jokic is one of a kind.
This video is really well made!!!
Let's get Homie some Likes & Subs! C'mon Folks!!!👍✌
Thank you! I appreciate it. 🙌
Yes, that's true
Joker is best passer ever... Not even really close anymore
I agree. And he is just now stepping into his prime years with amazing talent around him. 👊🏀
😂😂😂😂😂
Saying it’s not close is being very ignorant.
🤦🏻♂️
he's on course to be the best ever for a long time!
awesome
What kind of question is that?Ofcourse HE IS!Stop with that “is something” when IT IS!Im tired of media bs!It is,say it how it IS!
PSA TO THE NBA:NIKOLA JOKIC IS COMING OVER THIS YEAR. PICKED BY THE NUGGETS AT #41 IN 2014, HE WILL DOMINATE EVERTYNG YOU HAVE AND LAUGH..28.JUNI, 2015. MISTER donyatesnaba SAD.pozdrav iz SRBIJE😀
Career triple doubles i thought jokic was 4th with 119 and lebron 5th with 110?
Yes, your right. I don't know where those numbers came from.
Subbed
Appreciate it! 👊🏀
If you gave every team in the NBA a choice of adding one player from any team....to their team, I believe that EVERY TEAM WOULD CHOSE NIKOLA!! No one brings more to the table than he does. Everyone one on the team knows if they get free....he'll find them. He is the TIDE THAT LIFTS ALL BOATS. ABSOLUTELY!!!
Top 5 passer. Brilliant player
Oh yes he is, and this is coming from a long time fan.
Best passer in Nba ever. No doubt about it, I think Magic would agree, being the legend that he is, and honesty, I think if you ask him directly he will say it. Magic already admires Jokic 😊
Nikola jokic head is sorouded by eyes
I have a soft spot for underdogs and underdog stories. I love that Joker and Luka are dominating NBA, with their dad bods that I can relate to. It’s true that white men can’t jump, but they can smash the NBA in their own European style ways, they are fun to watch!! Truly I have not had this type of interest in basketball since the Bulls Dynasty. Thank you dad bods for brining me back to be a basketball fan!!
So true. 😆I was saying every dude on his couch watching these guys is like "I could do that!" its awesome. Yeah so fun to watch, and great stories too.
He is the best passer of all time... and I grew up watching Magic and Bird.
Always expect the expected, until you don't. I never take a piss break when he's in the game. 😂
🤣🤣
MVP ✅
Finals MVP ✅
Made Lebronze look like an idiot (3:38) ✅
Won the ring without a single other All-Star ✅
Best player of the 20's and it is not even close!
Where passing is concerned, it's Larry. You didn't give him as much consideration as he deserves. But... Nicola, I don't know man, he's amazing. He's so humble and unassumming and does it so naturally, I just don't know who's best because he's simply amazing.
Absolutely the best passer ever.
He is the best passer in NBA history!
Him and Stockton is a race !! Greatest passers ever
The Joker is my favorite player. Re-defining the game.
Hey man! How do i contact you?
What's up? What do you need?
he's not done yet
💯
YUP!!!! '7 ft hybrid of Magic and Bird. And damned near as ambidextrous as Nash. 🃏= 🐐
The best
They sure do
Skipped the part with the uneeded comparison to Lebronze (Jokice is head and shoulders better). Other than that, great video!
I don't understand where Shak O Neal is among the 5-10 best players in the NBA??? He was a power-mass-acceleration like a bison and a basket..free throws 0 , passes, threes, mental game ..that is unknown to him..defense ok. and that's all... an average player and nothing more.
Joker................Is right up there with Magic Johnson.............as far as PASSING !!!
Yeah, Jokic is. But did everyone see the pass of the century from Curry to Wiggins tonight (2/22/2024) vs the Lakers?
Ya, I saw that. Insane! 👊🏀
Great player.
But, there's quite a few bigs that were elite passers.
Magic and
Larry
Come to mind. 😊
You can’t even make a video like this for embiid
Yes, he is. his great passes in one season alone is at least more than the great passes by other great players through their careers.
So unless you are biased. He is the best passer ever.
How can you say that when you haven’t seen 95% of the NBA history?? YOU are the one who is biased.
Watch all of them Magic, Bird, Pistol Pete, LBJ, Jason Williams, Stockton, Kidd
But you’re saying Jokic is best without see everything.
And I love Jokic. I love what he brings back to 🏀 but to call him greatest passer of ALL TIME is ridiculous at this point. I know you’re 12 - 16 years but you do realize that there was a world and an NBA before you were born right. Bird did all Jokic passes 40 years ago anyway + the full court “TD” passes 🤷🏻 🤷🏼♂️
@@ezsmith3765 I judge by how much impact a player was on his team, on the players around him.
@@ezsmith3765 Read "'He's Beethoven': How Nikola Jokic became the best passer in NBA history"
I am not the only one who think he is the best passer ever, even a GM called him the best passer ever.
One Eastern Conference front-office executive called Jokic "the best passing big man of all time." But a Western Conference GM went further, saying Jokic is the best passer in NBA history, regardless of position. "I don't think it's close, either," the GM said.
Didnt mentioned Stockton 🤨
Yup!
Could we speak on another platform. It would be much more easier to explain over there.
As of this season jokic is the best
Love Jokic but come on, look at Stocktons total assists, that record will never be eclisped. He did it in this short frame. Like Jokic he always went for the right play, and could effortlessly deliver pinpoint passes to the right guy and the perfect time.
Jokic is CENTER…
Jokić has invented new position A POINT CENTER !!!
Not yet he's not...he's damn near that good...but Stockton, Magic and Nash were magicians and still the leaders in passing in my book. Yeah I know, Chris Paul, Kidd and others like LeBron are right there. Joker is my favorite player since Bird, Magic and Jordan. Joker stays health and interested in playing another 8 years and hell be top of pile in assist and many other categories. He's a beast chock full of talent.
He's the best I think in all categories!
He's simply the best unathletic player in NBA !
im Not familiar in European league but he's from
there!
ungodly talent.
👊🏀
But jokic have more triple-doubles then lebron😂
Magic
Stockton
Big O
He still has work to do.
Better than them for sure
He is the anti-hero in basketball. Like Asterix.
Why do you talk bout the sombor shuffle but show other jump shots?
