I used to regret not living in the era of Bird and Magic and Wilt and Russell. Now I'm just happy I can watch this man play.
This guy is to 2023 version of Bird and Magic
lol regret what? u mom and dad not have s3x early?
that's not how regret and time works
Enjoy
Now i have a idea to bring Jok to 80s era in 2k
He makes it so easy for everyone to score. Amazing passes.
nuggets taking out the trash in 4
@@angel-ij4xv Loool I love this one
look at number 27 he stares at the lakers when he made the shot lol
The greatest point center of all time
there was no such a thing before him
The best center ever, period. He's got the whole package.
@@roronoazoro-136 he is a point center, never had a guy running the offense thru a center at the top of the key. He is rarely under the hoop, and when he is he is grabbing rebounds. A real unicorn
@@normanashworth6024 how would Porzingis match with him hypotethically?
POINT CENTER! That's great.
I swear, Gordon must LOVE hooping with Jokic 😅
The man who brought Gordon to Denver to play with Jokic is a true MVP.
😂😂😂
Yeah bet
@@dojajaje "That man" had no idea that Jokic would unlock Gordon to this extent.
Gordon said it before actually 😮
I'm a happy man. I saw every game this year. Pure magic. I have watched basketball for 64 years. I don't make that statement lightly. Bravo to the Nuggets.
The Nuggets have invented a new type of role player: the ‘be ready to receive the impossible and/or unexpected pass from
Nikola’ role.
Jokic passes are so good that even his teammates don't expect them at times.
Facts you gotta always have your eyes and hands ready playing with Jokic
dang even a football fan is commenting on jokic
@@WhoAreYou905 I didn't get the memo that you are allowed to enjoy only one sport at a time.
HE'S LIKE MESUT OZIL , XAVI OR INIESTA TYPE OF PLAYER .
THAT MAN CAN SCORE IF HE WANTS TO USE HIS POWER . BUT INSTEAD HE WANTS TO DO IT WITH HIS TEAMMATES HE WANTS TO INVOLVES THEM . REMEMBER HE SCORED 53PTS BUT STILL LOSE VS SUNS BECAUSE HIS TEAMMATES BARELY INVOLVES ON THAT GAME.
Jokic is a artist man. This man is so good for the sport of basketball and the nba itself.
i even see aaron gordon and the others trying to do a fraction of what jokic can do in passing.
this man is contagious.
Contagious is the right word. When you think of sharing the ball first, your brain starts understanding basketball differently. Opens up a new world.
Every play is just jaw dropping usually I get a little bored from watching a player season highlights but when it’s Jokić, I can’t look away
Naše dete Somborsko.Svaka čast drago dete volimo te❤
Vase prezime me podseca na velikog Clyde Drexlera..jednog od najvecih
I mi iz Hrvatske ga volimo,nek je živ i zdrav,nek bude uspješan u karijeri i neka se na kraju vrati svojim konjima...skroman Nikola Jokić,rijetkost na ovim prostorima da netko bude tako maestralan a toliko prizeman i skroman.
This isn't just the greatest "center" ever. These assists are at times mind blowing. These aren't just amazing for a "big guy". Jokic might be the best and most efficient passer since Magic Johnson.
Jokic might be the best and most efficient passer. Period, full stop.
Not since anyone.
he’s the best passer of the ball EVER.
nobody has ever done what jokic is doing REGULARLY.
When Jokic is done, we are going to be talking about him as one of the greatest NBA player of all time
Facts
The next generation of dumbasses have arrived people
Your saying Jokic is already Better than Prime Shaq , Prime Olajuwan ,Prime Kareem ,Prime Wilt Chamberlain Prime Tim Duncan and Prime Dirk Nowitski ? You said greatest "center" ever
I love how people say he isn't athletic. People don't know what athletic means.
Literally those same people think of extreme explosiveness
@@jonathank786 explosiveness is def a gift of freakish athleticism. Joker gets more accomplished with his eyebrows than Giannis does with his glutes
I swear Jokic looks like he's playing water polo and basketball at the same time. Such insane passing by the big man.
I'm a newer basketball fan and a big reason I started getting into it more was because of this guy, he's just so damn fun to watch! The way he sets up plays is otherworldly. I have seen people criticize him for "only taking easy shots" but what these people don't seem to understand is that Jokic is doing the 500-IQ plays that CREATE these "easy shots", the shots themselves might not always be the most impressive ever, what's impressive is the setup! How can some people not see this? I'm a total newb and even I can see it!
Jokic's passing ability almost made this compilation an Aaron Gordon Highlights.
I swear he is about to change the game the way Steph Curry did with 3 pointers. Never seen a big man do playmaking this good before.
The thing is playmaking is not really a practice-able skill, You need composure and quick decision making which some people just got it and others dont. Unlike 3 pointers which you only need to practice to make it work. That's why fans gravitate towards curry, because his skillset is more replicable unlike guys that have innate skills like lebron, giannis or a center
@dumbassdude8372 idk man passing does takes a bit of skill too. I mean isnt that the whole point of the NFL? Their whole plays are based on passing lol
@@dumbassdude8372 I think you could practice passing to a target in your peripheral vision range and passing in general. but i'm gonna give you that you can't practice quick decision making.
Joker the Basketball Maestro.
Pavarotti
and the future GOAT.
@@firstnamelastname1566 Hard words, but the thinking is true, we'll see
Jokic can pull some bullshit and it will actually work
@@firstnamelastname1566 doubt that
Being Jokic's teammate might be the most fun you'll ever have as a role player
The trailblazer bench is clapping for his pass assist
Man,this is pure ART of basketballing!!!
Best vision I've ever seen by a center. He easily passes everyone open. Starting to love this European style.
This is specifically the Yugoslavian school of basketball.
He is one of the best organizational guys in nba history
I wish people would just watch this highlight real. He’s so much fun to watch
Nikola Jokic. What a phenomenal player and a joy to watch.
We have never seen someone quite like him. While Arvydas Sabonis is the closest match, Jokic is already light years ahead.
A generational talent that will probably define the way basketball is played for the next decade.
He reminds me of my old neighbor who used to play in a club. In his late 40s he played with me and other kids in the neighborhood who were all like 12-14s age……he was fat and slow but he dominated the games with his skill…he didn’t even sweat when playing with us…
There have been amazing signature moves throughout the years but I don’t think I’ve seen anything crazier than the Jokers “one footed lean back 3 point heave!” What’s crazy is that he makes it a lot 😂
0:52 one hand volley ball pass !! So incredible !!
Jokic doesn't see the floor only with his eyes. He sees the floor with his mind. That is why he can pass so accurately without looking at the player because he knows exactly where the other players are even though he isn't looking in their direction. Amazing!
He got good at this bc he played water polo into his teens before he started basketball
@@dog-headedman2634 I thought maybe it was because he played League of Legends every single day.
Nikola Jokic is the best big man in the entire league right now!
Lol -- he's way above that. He is obvioustly the best big man to ever play the game, and it's a game of big men. Jokic is going to go down in history as the greatest basketball player of all time.
Jokic is the best player in NBA and thats according to nba players, nba legends, analysts, coaches as well as stats, metrics & records.
West, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Lebron, Curry, Jokic. The offensive GOATs.
In 4 games he will be..
No Kobe ? the fn guy averaged 40 for a whole month once. Show some respect man.
@@steve_sf49 you are probably right, I personnally have him just below. If he were a more efficient scorer or a better playmaker I would have him up there.
the fact that almost whenever he assists his teammates to score commentators go crazy over the pass and not the dunk itself speaks volumes on his passing abilities and spatial awareness, simply next level!
Live in Denver and “the Joker” is an awesome teammate, but an even better human being.
I dont understand why people are afraid to entertain the truth... Like... Does people's eyes work? Jokic is so clearly the best passer in NBA history
Like bruh, Magic, Nash, Paul, Rondo, Kidd etc none of those dudes can make the passes he makes. This dude is the Steph Curry of passing Jokic really broke the game
Then the media calls him boring to watch
Jokic is fundamentally skilled and great at passing for a big man. The offense flows through him, and he is definitely smart enough to know and anticipate where his teammates are or wil be. But he is not a better passer that Nash, Kidd, and Magic. Spend some time watching the highlights from those 3 and you will know.
I give you these highlights are fun to watch.
Pistol Pete was better.
@@steve_sf49 Are you listening your self.That shit you wrote man....Jokic is already being compared with Wilt,Lary,Magic,Hakim,Karim.I love Pistol Pete Maravic who is also Serbian but Jokic is better.
@@Vladica981 lol You mean Hakeem and Kareem not Hakim, Karim. Pistol was a flashier passer which was the point of the conversation. I never said he was a better overall player than Joker. The subject is his passing. Joker is the greatest passing big man (with Sabonis) but you fools are ranking him above Magic, Pistol, Kidd which is stupid.
Jokic could have been the greatest quarterback of all time.
Chill..
@@jonathanmckee1105 just because he isn't black doesn't mean he cant be one of greatest in basketball
I watched all Bird games growing up and this guy is a 6-11 Bird
but decided to be the best basketball player of all time, fair
@@markostajin lol u went str8 to blac when I wasn’t even thinkn dat, tht says alot bout ur mindset my guy i was jst sayn chill & u didn’t even ask for an example or nun
He has the advantage of size. A lot of passes are over the defenders' head or around their body, which are impossible for point guards.
Big man with such skill is so rare.
One hand rebound then full court pass at the other end in one motion. Insane!!
If my life depends of one shot on the basket with 20 hands in front i chose Jokic to shoot.
Nuggets 's play book forever changed the NBA game, power to the management of Nuggets and its coach team. 30 years ago, I watched four plays give the ball to the tallest guy on the team such as Morning or Yuying , so the defending team are focused on the tallest guy, which is one spot on the court. now you have the tallest guy standing outside and give the ball to any other guys on the court ,and there are four of them.. hard to defend for the opponent . To make it worse, those four guys running around and moving all the time and having fun ... dunking left and right...
The thing is... you could easily make a 30 min video about his genius. Off the top of my head some are jaw-dropping:
- wrap-around passes to Garris
- all the lobs to Manimal
- some unreal one-handed skip passes to Monte
and I'm sure I'm forgetting many lol
Jokic is pretty much a modern day Magic Johnson. People always compare Lebron or Luka to magic, but I think Jokic is a lot closer to Magic in terms of flashy plays and passing. It's honestly mesmerizing what Jokic does on the court, but the media doesn't want to acknowledge him which sucks.
Where Jokic is most like Magic is the fact he is thinking play making first and his own scoring as his final outlet.
Crazy thing is Luka plays nothing like Magic 😂
Being in a smaller city, the NBA down deep does not want them winning.
He is the prime mover of his team. Makes others avail of their talents!
Jokic makes his teammates into a strong unity as a true teamwork. They are playing too great with utmost confidence. They are unstoppable and powerful.
Nikola Jokic is Nikola Tesla of basketball
The people who say jokic isn’t fun to watch are all idiots lmao. He’s incredible. - Lakers fan here
that cross-over was sick!!!!
loved the play where D. Howard looked liked a fool.
I hate basketball now- teams try to stack star players and “buy championships” and it never works because they all need the ball all the time. What I love about Jokic is he doesn’t seem to need the points he understands the stats will come to him just based on how he plays unlike Harden or Westbrook or those guys… truly a great player to have on any roster- he can put his average teammates in the all star conversation…
He is the best player in the NBA right now! Nobody comes even close.
It’s Definitely CLOSE! Between 3 other “world” players. Giannis Joel Lucka.
@@jrodzilla24 nah man.
@@jrodzilla24 Luka didn't even make the playoffs and Giannis got bounced in the first round
@@jrodzilla24 Joel is a joke.
There's no stopping this guy.....the chip is his this year
this guy should have won 3rd time MVP in a row, only wilt, Russell and bird has done it. It would have been nice this guy getting a 3 peat
He is sooooo talented
Nikola Jokić is indeed a basketball genius. His style of play combines elegance with power, and his understanding of the game and court vision are awe-inspiring.
Absolute basketball savant.
The real MVP！✨✨✨
Point Center 👍👍👍👍
This is why he is so dangerous, not only can he drop 30+ on you he makes everyone on the team a scoring threat.
This man has perfected offensive basketball.
This guy Jokic......he just sees things
Not as obvious as a poster dunk, or logo 3, but those who understand the game appreciate Jokic’s brilliance. Best passing big ever - even better than Arvydas Sabonis
Forget him being the Center, best passer in the NBA today.
there's never been a passer like this--i know we are all thinking jason kidd/white chocolate, but not even on the same level as the joker =/. this man is INSANE
this denver team deserves to be in the championship. Rootin for them nuggs!
He makes it so easy for everyone to score especially for Gordon.
Is it realistic that someone has such a good review of the game 😮😮😮
He's like Duncan and Kidd combined. Amazing player.
I want a Nuggets Dynasty please!!!!! Perfect basketball for 3,4,5,6 years
Best highlight mix of his to date
There is no doubt.
JOKIC THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD !!
Someday we will realize what we saw
We might be watching the GOAT's first title run.
He may be the greatest man to ever live
Walks on water when nobody’s looking as a hobby
this is how magic and larry bird would have played as far as passing goes if they were 7'0 290 it's honestly incredible to see in real time best passer i have ever seen in my lifetime. TBH LBJ CP3 are great passers of the basketball but they are so much more ball dominant it isn't comparable.
JOKIC HAS UNDERRATED FOOTWORK AS A CENTER HE IIS LIKE OLAJUWON WHEN HE USE THAT KIND OF SPIN + LAY UP.
IMAGINE IF WARRIORS GETS THIS KIND OF TYPE OF A CENTER THAT WPULD BE INSANE ,
You wish. It ain't gonna happen. Nuggets are nex dinasty. Warriors are on their way to past tence.
You wish. It ain't gonna happen. Nuggets are nex dinasty. Warriors are on their way to past tence.
I cant give him all the credit...How does his team mates even keep up and seemingly always receive and make full use of his genius grade passes /plays? This is my main question!
7:04 nasty handles, crazy footwork
The Modern Larry Bird
This guy could have a meaningfull relation without any eye contact.Trully master.
Jokic is a high IQ baller.
Im pretty sure installing eyes into the back of your skull is illegal. Jokic should get fined for that
Must be fun playing with joker
The beauty of basketball revealed. Rembrandt on wheels.
This dude jokić really has meta vision
He looks like Magic and Bird rolled into 1, and grew a few inches.
Bro this clip looks like ultimate compilation or something , crazy stuff from Joker.🃏
The dude unlocked observation haki
정말
어른이 아이들을 가지고 노는 것 같은
이 느낌적 느낌은....뭐지....ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I get he's only half way through but I've never seen anyone this good. how do you stop him? he can score and pass at an all time level and just knows how to do it. take one away and he'll kill you with the other
He is So Similar to Larry Bird!! The Way They Think, Their IQ, the Passing, the Rebounding. Larry Bird is My Favorite Player of All-Time and I See So Much of Him in Jokic 🏀
Born in Madelia, Minnesota on October 25, 1946 Bird was bred to be a jockey. He was raised on a farm and had horses all around him while he was growing up.
HE IS KIND OF LIKE MAGIC
He understands team play
This Jokić highlight reel is darn close to being an Aaron Gordon highlight reel as well. Talk about a perfect pairing.
In another life Jokic would of made an incredible quarterback. The angles he can get on his throws, reading the players, no look passes and body language he has it all.
perfect complete player
plays like a footnball.. elastis,beutiful
no reason not to be mvp this season even not champion also.. absoluttly mvp of this season ....
unselfish and different kind of beast
A nadie le vi hacer esas asistencias mejor que Jordan
I know Aaron Gordon looks forward going to work every day after moving to Nuggets. It’s going to be a great Finals.
hopefully jokic change the game as curry did. nowadays every team tries to make as many 3s as possible. but big centers with this kind of passing IQ would make the NBA a better spectacle than nailing 3s after 3s.
Here some real facts 😉
NIKOLA JOKIĆ IS:
HIM
THE TRUTH
THE ANSWER
THE BIG TICKET
THE BIG FUNDAMENTAL
☆☆☆NOT SINCE WILT!!!!!☆☆☆
SUPERMAN(APPROVED BUY SHAQ😉)
NEO(HE FIGURED OUT THE MATRIX)
THE BEST HUMAN BEING ❤️
THE BIG TIPPER
THE JOKER
BIG HONEY
WCF MVP👊
THE BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME
THE REAL MVP
To be continued....
Some of those passes, the other guy is not open yet, but he anticipates and leads them into the open spot for the shot or layup.
Anyone who said that Joker is boring, never actually watched Joker play.
The Ronaldinho of passes.
He’s so casual and cool doing these things too. This man is the Jack Nicholson of basketball. The Keith Richards of balling out. Coolest cat in the game. No question.
Shades of Larry Legend
