Kenny looking like 2019 Kenny in this video
good comment
When he had that dusty camera and did sporcle quiz videos all the time 😭
That’s what I said. The hair really makes a difference lol
2019 kentrell with a dad shirt on 🥲
Nah fr I thought i was bugging 😂😂
jokic with 40 13 and 7 on no turnovers WITH the dpoy on him is unreal 😭
he wasn't on him, KAT was
@@KuKu_1322Not true. Gobert guarded him almost the whole game.
@@KuKu_1322 He was definitely cooking Rudy as well 💀
@@azamifutaba4699Jokic made Rudy look like David Robinson in the 95 WCF
Rudy not dpoy they gifted him ts
Joker is a 3 time mvp for a reason. People overreact so damm quick.
Exactly bro it’s like for a week folks forgot he won a championship just last year
They were breaking their neck to crown Ant face of the league and tried to downplay already certified Jokic.
the only team ALL TIME to win consecutive playoff rounds via 3-1 comebacks, the Jokic-Murray-MPJ Denver Nuggets
@@adriandaliva1341You also need to give AG and the bench some credits, They were playing godly as well
Congratulations to the Wolves for sweeping the first two games.
If he wins another chip and finals mvp were entering some very uncomfortable conversations
he becomes a top 15 player of all time immediately. hell, he might already be there.
Uncomfortable for you maybe. You should ask yourself why you feel that way.
@@lilsleepy3332he’s already top 15
@@lilsleepy3332He passes Hakeem with another title win.
@@lilsleepy3332 he 1000% is alr there no way theres 14 people who have just dominated the way he does
Jokic career playoff averages are 28 ppg, 12 reb, 8 assists, on 53% and 40% from 3. He has just been elite from day 1 in the playoffs.
Damn! 😮
He’s top 10 all time in ppg, top 20 in apg, top 20 in rpg in playoff history.
The most recent guys above him in rpg are Charles Barkley and Moses Malone
wrong he is 28.8 ppg, 13.3 rebpg, astpg 9.5.He improved stats with this game :)
@@markopetrovic9129 bruh, theres no way he raised his average in like 50 games by 1.5 with 1 performance of 13 assists
@@youbettubebasketball reference says he’s averaging 27.7 12.2 and 7.6. Where are you getting your numbers from? Original comment is rounding up but idk where you pulled those numbers
Jokic is the closest thing to Thanos I swear
Nah he's the closest thing to Saitama lol
sorry but that goes too 2018 bron
@@isho2x 2018 bron got swept lmao. 2018 Lebron had a WS/48 of .221. Jokic's CAREER AVERAGE is .254. 2018 Lebron had a Box Plus Minus of 8.7. Jokic's CAREER AVERAGE is 9.9. So if 2018 Lebron is his best, that's not even as good as Jokic's AVERAGE.
Pretty apt comparison lol. He got all the pieces he needed
mahomes?
This was Jokić way to apologize to Denver fans For the abysmal performance of game 2. And he did not disappoint the fans in the stands
16/16/9 is abysmal?? I'm sorry but those first 2 games are the fault of his teammates, ESPECIALLY Jamal.
@@pleasedont7439I’m a Jokic glazer but that was a poor game for his standards. 5/13 with 4 turnovers too, and OP might have been referring to the team’s abysmal performance
@@pleasedont7439 Yes, he played poorly. The optics of those numbers look nice but he was terrible. Inefficient from the field, TOs, no defensive impact.
His standard of excellence is higher because HE IS THAT GOOD.
Abysmal and terrible are strong words. It’s fine to say he had a poorer than usual performance but it’s not like he didn’t show up. He had 8 assists when his team shot 35% and no one else had more than two. He still fought his ass off that game.
@@pleasedont7439 Don't be a homer. Game 2 was his worst playoff game of his career. The flashy numbers can't do it justice.
Jokic is making me rethink my list of the greatest players oat
I think jokic legit is the best overall offensive player eve r
@@user-ck3nk2xy7git’s hard to disagree
@@user-ck3nk2xy7gcurry is really the only competition
Already the best center of all time.
@@user-ck3nk2xy7g Agreed. Followed by Wilt and Kareem
We're gonna need that Anthony Edwards is Inevitable video soon, Kenny.
Nikola Jokić is the best player in the world indisputably. Aaron Gordon man, what a special guy, never gives up, he gives them so much. Jamal scoring wasn’t there, but his playmaking was amazing. KCP! What a amazing game by Kentavious, his defense and his offense were outstanding. Christian Braun, that kid is special, his defense (along with KCP) on Ant was spectacular, and offensively he was really good.
With how KCP was playing, he was due for a good game. And boy did he deliver.
Love how you skipped MPJ, he hasn't been showing up offensively
@@geckogeico2212 he's had 2 20+ point games already. I really don't think MPJ needs to play great the rest of this series. Instead, he just has to be a good shooter, collect all the rebounds, limit his bad mistakes, and that'll be enough.
@@geckogeico2212 I could’ve mentioned him, because he was good on defense and his rebounding is always important (on both ends) but man sometimes he takes the wrong decisions, for example, that deep 3 that ended up being an air ball, sometimes I wish he would just pass it, and his dribbling is not really that good, some there are times where he ends up with the ball and tries to do something off the dribble but his dribbling, along with his mobility are off, leading to the defender keeping in front of him very easily.
Jokic is INSANE
Nah. /
@@jordanjohnson9866no one taking the bait
No, he’s INEVITABLE
When Nikola Jokic Dunk we know it's over😅
amen ❤
He had like 3 dunks tonight too. GG!
If I told someone that Nikola Jokic came down the lane and did a tomahawk, they'd think im lying. Wrap this series up😂.
Jokic is really showing why he is the MVP
Kennnnyyyyyy….. We beat them by damn near 50 in game 6….. I need my videoooooooo
We're so lucky to watch Nikola Jokic play basketball.
Jokic giving that Kobe "calm down, I got it" signal to everybody after game 2.
Kobe js nothing compared to Jokic. Kobe was so inefficient. Kobe js more like a worse version of Curry
@@Honestly__nowumm…. No
Joker took Gobert to school, made him supper, tucked him to bed, and kissed him goodnight. That performance was so impressive and not even Gobert could stop him today holy.
💯
Gobert can never stop him. He’s food
3rd quarter was a Jokic Masterclass, dude had fingerprints on every bucket
I really think we push the "jokic hates his job" jokes to the point that we thing Jokic isn't a competitive dude or doesn't have that killer drive. He's just a quiet dude he doesn't puff his chest.
I think you should watch his podcast with mpj you'll know this guy is a monster.
Jokic is that guy who clocks in and out on time from work and doesn't think about it outside much, but he is both the most hardworking and most efficient guy when he's at work. Despite not taking it as seriously he is still trying his hardest, but ultimately work is work. He only cares about the result of his best work because it means everything to his co workers and he wants to make them happy
It's just a character he puts on for the media. It's all jokes when he comes out and gets all "ohhh man I just want to go home". He loves the sport and loves competing. You don't get to be 3x mvp and a fmvp by not enjoying basketball. He just has his passions outside of the sport that he likes to allocate time for as well. He won't practice all off season because he already knows hes the best in the world
@@dxfifa He thinks about basketball outside the gym too. Just recently he has invited the whole team to a dinner at his home, where they were watching some videos from previous matches and drinking to oblivion.
Jokic is the best player i’ve ever seen idc
that 40 felt like 80 jesus that was brutal
Shaq’s comment really made this man Joker go super saiyan
I bet shaq will double down on his comments...yeah but (..), yeah but (insert bs here)
Nobody saying make Edward’s the face anymore. And the utter disrespect people saying Luka should have gotten mvp over Jokic is insane.
@@bigsmall2842 If Luka used his god given talent to play a little bit more like Jokic. He would have won more than he has by now. But he will always be number one with the people who love heliocentric players. Even though they seldom win championships.
Luka had better overall stats. Like outright there was literally no argument. The only reason luka didn't win was because the mavs won 6 less games. And before you try and mention their playoff performances, Jokic Is 100% healthy and Luka Is on 1 leg.
@@arigatogyro260 go play your video games
@@arigatogyro260luka’s usage rate is miles above jokic … his percentages aren’t at jokic level… luka’s defense isn’t as good as jokic
@@gnielsen07if you watch games Luka is actually a pretty good defender in the play offs.
Nikola Jokic deserved his MVP this year. On the night he lifted the trophy, he balled out against the DPOY. HE HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD FOR YEARS. 2 games made the casuals forget.
He deserved it for sure, but Luka was very close to him in the regular season.
Luka had better overall stats. Like outright there was literally no argument. The only reason luka didn't win was because the mavs won 6 less games. And before you try and mention their playoff performances, Jokic Is 100% healthy and Luka Is on 1 leg.
Jokic put on a masterpiece tonight. He totally dominated and controlled the entire game. He made it a point to take it right at the 4-time dpoy when the lights were the brightest and owned him. This dude is absolutely amazing.
Jokic grew horns tonight. 🐐
Jokic is a combination of being very unorthodox and incredibly precise. A nightmare to guard.
5:12 kenny so hyped it got him spitting at the camera 😂
Jokic showed why hes the GOAT right now against zesty dude and french guy 💪🔥
Watching the game live was crazy, Jokic was a beast who couldn’t be stopped.
As much as I respect ANT this series just goes to show you how much NBA fans overreact to swings in series. There was conversation after game 2 talking about whether ANT had taken the throne from Jokic and now the narrative has swung again. Nevertheless both are amazing players and deserve their props
Love Ant but can’t stand the people trying so desperately to crown him so soon
Ant will have his time if he really got it, there’s no rush to call him the face of the NBA
Ant is nowhere near as good as people are saying. He's absolute buns when teams stop him from driving. Suns and Nuggets literally two easiest matchups for him. Neither have either an even mediocre rim protector or an elite big guard/small wing defender. Only teams out of all 16 with neither
Jokic and Nurkic are the worst starting rim protectors in the entire playoffs along with Valanciunas. They're also not packing a Lu Dort, Terrence Mann, Jaden McDaniels, Herb Jones (just in the West). Aaron Gordon is too slow to defend guards btw. So Ant would have done worse vs any other matchups
@@dxfifa strongly disagree. ANT is a phenomenal talent, his playoffs so far has been elite and he has been doing it at all three levels. The first two games of this series he was fantastic. Don’t forget he is only 22. Also, the nuggets have KCP who is one of the better guard defenders in the league.
@@Jayden00g KCP is overrated on defense. He's an A- on D, he ain't clamping stars, just not getting cooked. How the f can you disagree when Ant is literally getting incredibly easy matchups and ZERO rim protectors to beat, so just needs one gobert screen and he's at the rim uncontested. He'd do much worse against every team in the playoffs than Phoenix and Denver as they all have better personnel to defend with single coverage and rim protector help. Imagine him trying to go at Dort and Chet? Hell just Herb Jones, or Terrence Mann with no shot blocker would be better than what he's faced in single coverage.Or just AD helping.
If Jokic played OKC you would say it was an easy series as no one on that team can even attempt to guard him and it's not reflective of regular matchups. Well that's Ant's equivalent here. No defender that can slow him down and no rim protector to make him miss when he gets in the paint.
Not sure if many will get this reference but Jokic might be the closest thing to Wayne Gretzky we've seen in the modern era of North American sports. Jokic has almost supernatural passing and assist ability like Gretzky did.
Can totally see that. Nice comp!
Jokic MVP!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Well deserved ☝️☝️☝️☝️
Huge fan from NYC 🗽
i was thinking the same thing too, everybody being like "is this your DPOY?" but what's more scary is, laugh at gobert all you want, he may be the last remaining person in this year's playoff who has this slight chance of guarding jokic and he's being legally owned and adopted at this point lmao, is this a dynasty in the making?
Facts, he’s breaking Chet in half, and Gafford can’t hold him
A lot of shots of Jokic against Gobert were really tough and DPOY can't slow him down
Jokic had gobert in hell
Jokic is just insane, he is the closest thing we have to a real life cheat code
I respect Nikola Jokic, fundamental sound play, his ability to throw a full court outlet pass.
I experienced seeing "the dream" do his thang.
It feel like the nuggets were playing with their food, finally decide to get serious, and destroyed them lol 😂
Jokic needed Gobert to know what he thinks of his DPOY award.
To be fair it's not that Gobert's defense was bad, Jokić is just too good!
Jokic is very quickly shooting up those all-time lists. If they win it all this year you're looking at:
3x mvp
B2B champ and finals mvps
Plus 6 Allstars and 5 allNBA appearances (and counting)
That is a damn impressive resume and makes a case for at least top 15-20 all time. We are witnessing one of the best players to ever touch a basketball in real time
I legit got goosebumps watching him play tonight..... THAT'S how you know you're watching something extraordinary
WHO THE MVP
shaq not even came to work after seeing what jokic done
MVP for a reason
Other than Lebron , Steph & Kobe this is the best player I’ve seen
I agree with you on 2 out of those 3 players
Jokic make DPOY Gobert look like 6ft point guard in this game...He can't even make one proper block on Jokic
I think what makes Jokic so great is his instincts and knowledge of the game, he figures out the winning play faster than everyone else then executes it at the speed he wants to execute it. Just an incredible player, don't know if we will ever see another like him.
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
The media will turn on ant
I stayed up to watch the all time great Jokic masterclass of a performance
Jokic is unreal.
remember all those casual bums calling jokic a fraud and the nuggets were gonna get swept? lmfao, where they at now?
They're still out there, just switched sides 😂
I was one of those guys. I apologise for ever doubting the Nuggets after they got punched in the face twice at home.
were is shack?
they gon hiding LOL
don't worry the Los Angeles timberwolves are still lurking
I wanna hear what stephen A, Shaq and Perk hating asses will say about jokic and denver now
who cares about them. They are literally racist especially Stephen A
Nah perk been backing the wolves since the start of the season
Actually, Steven A. and Perkins are apologizing these days for their bad takes (not Shaq though), gotta give them credit for that.
@@01ment Stephen A was graceful on first take this morning on this topic, I agree with you.
"Wolves in 4 "
"SGA is the MVP"
-Racist Arenas, Shaq 'O fool
Jokic : Horses Races
I love how excited you are for all this. You love the sport and it shows.
Jokic is unstoppable atm and that gives his teammates confidence and energy if they can keep playing like that, going back to back start to look very real ngl.
love the energy man! "like, cut it, out.'" hahaha. nice. ;)
Jokic is the return of basketball, and I love to see younger players such as Anthony Edwards saying he is the best in the world and taking him as an example. It seems that the 2010s narcissistic attitude tired the basketball community, and finally, during the 2020s, we are witnessing the next shift with the return of fundamentals and real basketball as style and stance.
I been on the fence between Jokic vs Giannis for a bit but this game seals it for me. Jokic out here flirting with 40 point triple doubles no TO while Giannis can't even stay on the floor.
Giannis only way to reclaim that bpoy title is by coming back next year and sweeping every award and the chip but even that might not be enough lol
Giannis still has the potential sweeping every award (DPOY, MVP, scoring title) but he not winning the chip as long as Doc Rivers is their coach.
@@sakamoto8354 Think about it this way, take away athletic power from both, who would be more impacted an why. Or even better, put Giannis into Jokic body and vice versa, Jokic would be having quadruple doubles :)
Giannis hasn’t been the best player in the world during his career. He has so many flaws and he’s not as dominant as the media says he is. What best player can’t shoot a free throw to save his life, throws the ball out of bounds in big moments, and both travels nearly every play (and doesn’t get it called because of the biased refs) and gets bailed out on free throw calls? Giannis is Shaq if Shaq was less athletic, smaller, and couldn’t shoot even a baby hook shot.
Giannis game is so basic compared to Jokic. Giannis is an athletic freak, but Jokic is an actual basketball genius
@@aquatazer number of players that have averaged 30+ on 60% shooting:
'23-'24 Giannis antetokounmpo.
Not shaq, not jokic, not anyone else.
Jokic is the taller bigger version of Magic Johnson
Let’s hope his career isn’t cut short in a similar manner😅
Magic + Tim Duncan
More so Larry Bird
Jokic is the best player in the world and has probably the best supporting cast too. Plus the elevation, experience, and chemistry Denver is a nightmare
I dont understand the support cast argument at all. How does he have a good support without any all star besides Deandre Jordan? Murray sucked for the entire playoffs besides the game winning shots and the last 2 games. People think Denver is stacked while other teams have 3 or 4 former or current all starts. Denver has only good players and wins cause they Perform how they are supposed
@@khgktjjruhfhb exactly
This was a wild game! So much for the Timberdogs sweeping it lol
Thanks for shouting out Malone. He's been fantastic as a coach
As someone who has watched every Jokic playoff game ever this was his best one ever. Only one that comes close is Game 1 in the 2023 WCF v the Lakers
Bro Jokic is one of the best ever, never doubted him, he's just too good man like he should be a 4x MVP, honestly one of the best ever, he is just on another level from everybody else... he's clutch, consistent, best stats, efficient, one of the best playmakers and rebounders you will ever see, amazing scorer, plays like an MVP in the regular season and playoffs, the Nuggets are beasts with their back against the wall, there is nobody like the Joker, honestly them giving Embiid an MVP for being a "white player" and because "Jokic can't do it in the playoffs" (Embiid can't) is crazy
I agree 100% !
IF Denver goes to the wcf... I need to go all in for the season
Finally giving us a Denver Minessota game Kenny!!! My heart!!
As an American I want to say dudes stop hating on the Europeans. They balling tf out rn show them love and know the competition is going to raise everyones level and its going to get crazy!
Its insane, hes easily the best player in the league
KENNY THE GOAT
Greatest peak of all time…. Not sure about longevity that is Russel and Jordan but he is a legend in the making
Joker woke tf up. He seriously was like 'okay I guess I'll be the best player on the planet'. Lmao. Man's scary good.
Espn is going to "praise" Jokić by shiting on Rudy
Yo this new man on something💯🔥🔥
I love Kenny almost as I love Nikola jokic
Oh i saw you on ESPN or something, good report keep it up.
That brother is serbian, some people need to live overhere for a month to feel the culture
Then again, denver has been here on this road before, they know the strength, persisstance, endurance, courage and calm that you need to have to go through each game. Not just that, the aura the presence that he brings to the team is amazing. Murray scores a couple of times in this series he doesn't get frustrated or angry, they accept his behvaiour at some times.
and you know it's getting real when he starts dunking 2 dunks in 82 games, 15 in 9 games (or so ).
Shaq also helped a lot big thanks to him, i imagine Jokic making the throat choke sign to Shaq he silenced him completely.
enjoyed your comentary Kenny keep going!
Bring out the broom. I smell a reverse sweep.
Joker making sure no one says he's not the MVP
As knicks fans once we closed this out Friday we want the same quick video after they lose to 😬😬 go Knicks
kenny Ive been watching you for a long time and i like the cut, its kinda throw back and i like it. All love from Croatia
Let’s go nuggets!
Love your commentary, Kenny!
That top is FIRE🔥🔥
5:12 Damn Kenny that spit....
Rudi Gober Jokić's favorite victim.🤣
Jokic is just a fundamental monster, never seen a craftier big. He proves how overrated athleticism is in basketball when you'd think it's everything in American ball culture.
best youtuber in the game showing love to jokic man 🥹
nuggets in 6 baby im so hyped
Great players come up with great performances in the hardest moments. There is a reason why legends are created in the playoffs. When the stakes are highest, the lights are brightest, the pressure is highest only few can achieve this and those are the ones who'll be remembered.
the scary thing is MPJ still hasn’t left his mark in this series and that just goes show how dominate the nuggets starting 5 is
when was the last time the gap between best and 2nd best was this big?
The best and second best player in the league? Well Jokic is 1 and 2 if we’re talking healthy for everyone should be Giannis or Embid.
@@WriteWhatISee not giving embiid top 3 cos of his playoff failures, the gap between giannis luka n jokic is huge
@@lasr3833 See I agree with the Embid take. Luka still has yet to make a finals appearance so I personally can’t have him in a top 3 best players yet. Giannis has a real argument, two MVPs, a chip and finals MVp and DPOY. Consistently averages 30 and 10 just like Jokic and keeps his team within top 3 seeding every year he’s healthy. As far as the 2020 go, no person has won more than Giannis but Jokic.
@@lasr3833the gap between jokic and Giannis is huge but luka (not this injured weird playing luka right now) is a great great basketball player with an high iq. While jokic is better than Luka he is not that much better.
@@WriteWhatISeealso giannis DPOY
Jokic is the greatest center of all time. Can't change my mind. He might be in the goat conversation when he retires.
might be getting ahead of yourself there
still only has one ring, and we don’t even know if he really wants to be playing in the NBA for 16, 17 seasons
By the time he retires, it’ll be very hard to disagree with your statement
@@TreyJaySoSway Shaq? Kareem? Wilt? Hakeem? he is defenitely not there yet
@@TheGamerDevious He said by the time "he retires." Secondly, Wilt cant hold Jokic jockstrap.
@@TheGamerDevious Prime Wilt is impossible to compare to anyone because of the time he played in. Hakeem was a better defender than Jokic, but that's the only thing he is better at, and Shaq did not have half of the skill set. I've been a Magic fan for over 30 years, so I've seen what both Hakeem and Shaq can do. I've also seen what Aaron Gordan was before and after playing with Jokic.
King of words spoken per minute... I believe you just spoke more words than I have in my entire life.
Rudy gobert is inevitable
I feel bad for the t-wolves, they were not ready for this type of Jokic 😂
Calling Jokic “Mahoraga” from now on. 🤷🏾♂️
Gobert new nickname is barbecue chicken
Nah thank you Kenny late night videos always a W
THE MAN WAS DRAFTED DURING A TACO BELL COMMERCIAL.
Is it funny this will be the Hardest Series. #1 Defense going home and then Mavs or OKC easy work.
It’s Jokics maturity, if you have been following the Nuggets since Jokic came into the league you would see physical play sometimes frustrate him. But post 2020 he is on another level, he got stronger and his game evolved to what it is now. DPOY literally got schooled by the best footwork of any big man and a touch that’s unreal. This title run will mean more to his legacy then last years, going back to back is what all time greats do! The man is special! 🔥
