Do you think Jokic deserved to be the MVP?
Yes
obviously
Cmon Nick you gotta be better than this. Just because Jokic is boring and a family man who treats the nba like a 9 to 5 as Duncan did doesn't mean he's not the best
0a1q@@sj4632
Yes. Not even close
Why can’t we just congratulate someone on their accomplishment? It’s not like Jokic was asking for this.
Yeah especially when no one is getting snubbed. They’re all well deserved
@tylerholt6828 “the media” is a collection of industrials.
Jokic is the best I've ever seen. He's like a Dad that's pretty good playing with 8 year olds.
Forgot about that wild CP3 for mvp take 😭 purely spite driven
Disregard everything Nick says about Jokic. Look at where he has Luka on all time list. THE STANDARD IS THE STANDARD!
Boohoo Nuggets trash deal with it
He also explained why he did it and admitted it was in 90s style where they had rookie shaq on top 50.
That was more of a looking forward pick, which he said in that video if you watched…
Yall love to give zero context to any criticism
@@musestarlight1yea?
Nick is clearly still incredibly salty about the fact Joker made him look like a total fool with his 'worst ever MVP' so he is going to do his best to disparage him while hididng behind the shield of 'fairness'. It's very petty and kind of lame, but this is Nick we're talking about here.
Y'all clearly blind you think joker should have 3 MVP and Kobe got 1 and it's pathetic joker slow fat and can't defeat Ant
Agreed. His agenda is painfully obvious
The irony of this discussion is that Nick Wright is the real joker here, not Nikola.
Hahahaha so funny, shutup man
@@UserName-go7hmhaha so funny. What an original comeback man. Plus, it’s true about Nick wright.
Shaq got swept 6 times Nick.. how come that doesn’t go against his legacy ???
Shaq wasn’t in the discussions Jokic is in UNTIL that 3 peat. Jokic gets some Mickey Mouse MVPs and suddenly he leap frogs guys like Moses and Hakeem
@@MajinVegito100 you sound like a hater .. i’m sorry that most people you hear from have Jokic ranked higher over players he’s clearly better than
And if rules apply against Jokic, they also apply against Shaq and everyone else .. you can’t have one without the other
have a good one
@@OnlyHoops15 the fact you think he’s better than Hakeem says all I need to know about Jokikkkic
Watching this after Nugs win 2 in a row 😂
3 in a row and Jokic masterclass best game ever for him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching this after Nugs blew a 20 point lead in game 7. 😂
God forbid Jokic has two bad games for his standards and the media acts like he's the biggest fraud of all time. With some of these takes I'm seeing about him right now, I know some media members are praying to god Denver doesn't come back and win this series.
No one is saying this. Did you even listen to this?
We are asking where he disappeared to in both those games. When a team like Minnesota is obliterating your team. What are you as. 3x MVP going to do about it ?
@@MajinVegito100 oh shut up disappearing is lebron vs Dallas 2011. Jokic averaging 24 12 and 7 it’s complete hyperbole and wishful thinking by spiteful laker fans or euro haters
@@l9o6p7a3k4a ok he better show up tonight then
@@MajinVegito100he hasn’t disappeared. Game one he had 34 points and nearly a triple double. He wasn’t as efficient as he normally is, but you can’t have the stat line he did and “disappear”
It’s the confidence with which he said “Jokic is the worst MVP in 35 years. History will judge me favorably” that makes Jokic’ accomplishments so much sweeter.
I can't imagine nick's face if Jokic wins another next year
jokic is one of the best playoff performers ever, leading all centers in history in ppg in playoffs, averaging 27, 14, 9, led the playoffs in points, rebounds and assists?! for the first time ever, no one is even close to his level in this league, and only a few in history can be compared to him, he can end his career today and still be top 15 in history of the sport, nick is so bad with his takes
15 you sniffing glue
Talking about Jokic playing and potentially losing to a “50 win team” but never referencing that Lebron’s time tearing up the East was against Teams with 40 wins is the kind of slickness that actually makes people think Nick is always Wright lol
But LeBron went to 10 straight Finals...not comparable
@@williamphillips3035 8 straight 10 total i believe
In the 2018 playoffs Bron led the Cavs past not one, but two 50+ win teams. It's a quick Google search away, I promise.
@@captg16 thanks for bringing up one year. Google the other 9 years and let me know what you found. For reference, Kobe Bryant has beaten the most 50 win teams in the play offs and still has more rings
I hope Joker wins it next year too . Heads would melt 🤣🤣
I think its funny how you bring up Naz Reid and McDaniels being hurt last year but you always forget about Murray being out when Chris Paul swept the Nuggets. Its also disingenuous to say he swept the Nuggets when he wasnt even the best player on his team.
Mpj as well
When he was swept his second and third best player were out
Ok and... injuries happened but he gets passes
Well at least we evolved to this from Jokic is not a top 75 player so hey, baby steps
Joker had two 3-1 comebacks and went to the WCF before the Finals. He has two legendary playoff runs so far. At least be honest when speaking on him. Also, Jamal and MPJ were out for two years in between. Lebron couldn't even get out the 1st round with AD this year.
Hahaha... Nuggets getting out into the air fryer 😋
LeBron wasn't mentioned
@@peterhaslund The same logic he's slamming Jokic for, Nick would defend Lebron against it.
Lebron's pushing 40. Give it a rest on the hate.
@@drexeldragon1723lebron gets nothing but praise when he wins, and when he loses it’s the teams fault. Lebron fans are acting like him playing at 39 and losing 4-1 in the first round is a good thing.
He said he's the worst MVP ever. He's not competent to be taken seriously
why do they vote before the playoff? OHHHH because it's a regular season award and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLAYOFFS, I remember now
I understand that this is Nicks job, but at what point are we no longer talking about basketball for the sanctity of all time lists. Jokic the last 4 seasons, including when he lost in round 1, is some of the best thats been played ever period. Like this is basically just politics at this point
What that gotta do if you don't win. No one cares about that
@@thegreatthrasher we are talking about basketball players. They play basketball. We are ranking them on playing basketball because we like to watch them play basketball. There is *literally nothing* that should come before how a player is playing basketball
2 games down and he jumped to issues with his career legacy. 2 games later and he's suddenly back to where he was. No recalibration needed, just a degree of sensibility
I enjoy Nick’s analysis in general but this is just hating 😂
Ever notice the same people campaigning against Jokic seem to be remarkably silent about Lamar’s MVPs?
The Joker continues to turn Nick Wright into a punchline!
At this point he should just change his name, he's never right
This aged like milk. Omg, I love this so much. lol
Keep hating.
Nick spent years talking mess about Jokic. He’s done a good job of pretending he didn’t, but just go watch him talk about Jokic before he won his championship. He is incapable of admitting he was wrong. The guy is truly a fraudulent little worm.
If they give it to another player not named Jokic then that player automatically comes under great scrutiny and the experts find reasons for that player not to have earned the reward. It’s just a vicious cycle, where the winner is always over scrutinized and gets dogged for being the best player in the game…
I love Nick he is wery inteligent and its so fun to see him trying to kill Joker whit some origunal takes but looks dumber and dumber as times goes 😂
Nick is reaching skip bayless levels of disingenuousness. Not once did he mention MPJ or Murray not playing for Jokic losses but he mentions Jaden and Naz being out for Minny last year
Nick is right. Luka deserved the MVP.
Look how clearly I pronounce each word. This can't possibly be word salad.
he really does not know what regular season MVP means... so crazy...
Nick really should be a politician cause he is masterful at saying a bunch of nothing and arriving at HIS predetermined answer. He does it constantly and by the end he had people arguing for HIS question NOT the one which was originally asked.
I don’t get why people have an issue with this take. Nick said he’s at least the. 6th best centre of all time. That seems like a very fair evaluation.
He 100% downplays his prior takes on Jokic like all he was waiting for was a playoff run. He said Jokic was the worst MVP in 40 years. He and many other pundits questioned if he was even a top 5 player. I'm willing to bet Nick is foaming at the mouth hoping Jokic loses, bc every finals MVP Jokic gets makes him look that much worse with his takes.
@@rlh12345 I’m just commenting on this take specifically
@@rlh12345Well, Jokic just blew a 20 point lead at home in game 7, so…
@@boblangford5514 he went 29, 11, and 8 on 60%TS against the best defense in the league for the series. He went 34, 19, and 7 on52%TS in game 7.
@@rlh12345 You’re backpedaling. Ten days ago you were talking about Finals MVPs. Now you’re praising stats like true shooting percentage in a 20 point blown lead, meltdown.
I know history will look back on this take favorably, that Nick is the most bias sports broadcaster that we have ever seen. He knows how bad Joker made him look for his terrible takes year after year and he will never stop hating him inside.
I do agree cp3 could of won MVP that yr because until he came booker never been to a playoff game before. His #s weren't big enough though to compete with jokic and clearly couldn't play as many minutes per game. But his impact was on his teammates not just his individual performance.
It was a 3 man race between embiid jokic and giannis. And jokic had the inferior team out of the 3 and won only 3 less games than the other 2. He earned that mvp
I like nick. But why is jokic the guy that doesn't get context added to his team accomplishments? It is just so idiotic and smooth brained coming from him. This isnt like him
The games contribute to the evaluation of players, without completely changing the conclusion. We also get ahead of ourselves on the legacy and current status discussions, being well-oiled weather vanes. We need a little bit of mental inertia to react more slowly to each new input.
Nick Wrong again
Jokic has the highest career Playoff per Alltime Just ahead of Jordan and Lebron. Not saying he’s better
Gannis? He’s been ahead of him. Gannis is the first superstar to lose to a 8th seed as a #1 how did that not knock him off of nicks tears of great players!?
This exactly why Nick don’t got a vote bro said cp3 over jokic lmao
If I could change a recent NBA MVP award winner in history it would be 2017. Instead of Russell Westbrook getting it, Kawhi Leonard should have won it.
We're not sure if Joker is the head of this mini era. Nobody said that Nick. You just made that up.
Should have been 4 straight
Nick Wrong. Again. ‘Nuff said.
Why is everyone so obsessed with the MVP
Minnesota is a better team than Denver. They have 3 all-star players in the last few seasons and Denver has just Jokic. Funny how that is not mentioned by "experts".
Suddenly “All Denver has is Jokic”. What about Jamal “Bean” Murray? Or MP “KD” J? I thought Aaron Gordon was the best defender in the league after he “locked up” KD and LeBron last playoffs.
The media and nuggets fans were calling them dynastic after 1 championships.
Jokic getting fried for letting the Twolves clown on his team twice IN Denver Is reasonable
@@MajinVegito100 The series is not over ;) even if Minnesota wins 3rd the series is not over. I just said that they have a better team. They have two number-one picks from the draft. It is not a shame to lose to a better team. This clown has been trying so hard in the last couple of years to say how Jokic is the worst MVP ever. But every single multiple MVP had an all-star teammate. Jokic won 3 times MVP without an all-star teammate. You are just proving my point by mentioning the rest of the Nuggets. I will be glad if Murray stays out of all NBA teams since he needs to prolong the contract :). He is overpaid. MPJ is also overpaid. AG is a great teammate and a great role player. It would be nice if he could be better at shooting the ball.
@@MajinVegito100When did you become a Timberwolf fan?
@@MajinVegito100 how many of those guys have ever made an all-star team? oh, none of them, that's right... maybe that's why people are saying he doesn't have another all-start player with him. #facts
Voting before the playoffs not the problem concerning Joker's MVP triple. Not considering that the presumptive best player in the NBA has a negative record in the postseason, that is the culprit. Too many people took too much stock in that single championship and forgot those embarrassing exits for the big serb
"Embarrassing exits"
Lol go look up his numbers from the other postseasons. He's been phenomenal. Not his fault his teammates were either hurt or completely didn't bring it.
Currently in terms of legacy players 30 yr old or younger
Id put Greek and jokic on the same tier. This yr Greek was hurt so doesn't count as a negative because he didn't play. I do think that Murray and jokic is a better combo than Greek Middleton or dame Greek. Murray has played better than dame when healthy in the playoffs. Win or lose the series.
With that said
Jokic to me with 3 MVPs 1 f MVP
Has not passed the dream yet. Especially if he gets another title but it's not back to back because it's harder to do.
I definitely have him over embids and Anthony Davis who has now moved to center. I have Greek over Davis just based on there both champions but Greek was the best player leader f MVP. As well both he and jokic have done better as lead dog in terms of playoff births. Davis only went to the playoffs 2x as best player on the pelicans.
If we are talking Moses Malone he could be in the center and power forward categories. I'd say with another title he is over him. I'd say he's
Now closing in on Russell and wilt. Russell because of lack of competition no way anybody now could win that many titles on one franchise. LeBron and magic in terms of how many appearances are nearly as great of accomplishments.
To catch Shaq you need 3 finals MVPs for me. Kareem you need at least 4 mvps 4 finals MVPs. I rank Kareem #1 shaq#2 at the center position.
#3 wilt
4. Russell
5. Hakeem
6. Moses
7. Jokic
8. David Robinson
9. D. Howard
10. Ewing
Minding Moses Kareem wilt Russel never seen play live
Dope comment. I just want to say that the dame and Murray comparison is a strange one. I think if you put dame on the nuggets and took off murray for the last 4 years we're looking at dame differently. Jokic is soooo underrated. Murray is a near all star level player and is a super star(for 2 playoff runs) in the playoffs, while dame is a superstar... and hasn't yet(which is tragic)played with someone as good or better than him in the playoffs.
And by no means am I saying Jamal is buns. I'm saying 24-32 year old dame is on a different level than Jamal.
But yeah. I have Hakeem as the best center of all time. Followed by kareem, shaq, Moses, and dwight
Wright fits right in with all the brother haters who can’t stand that a white European rules the NBA.
Looks like Wright was banking on a Nugget brooming by the Wolves.
Here's the plan:
• max out by putting a 7 game scare into Boston
• heal up in the off-season
• keep Hart n Divincenzo. One has to come off the bench.
• resign Anunoby and Hartenstein.
• allow Randle, Achiuwa, McBride etc be available for trade or packaged.
• Can we get some combination of a: Paul George, Rui Hachimra, Jelen Jones ( okc ) Alperen Sengun, KAT, Devin Booker, Malik Monk, Wendell Carter Jr, Christian Wood, Brandon Ingram etc
• redo Brunson's contract to reflect his importance.
• Turn Marbury and Melo into the new faces of notable Courtside regulars along with Spike. Our stars have to get younger.
• update the Go New York Go New York Go. My deadass suggestion: let DJ Taj or someone do a Jersey club remix keeping the Go new York Go new York. Get it TikTok famous. Swear to God that'll be🔥🔥
• lastly: Thomas Theodore Thibodeau _triple T_ HAS GOT TO STOP RUNNING OUR GUYS INTO THE GROUND. This playoff run alone has taken at least one season off the back end of like 6 of our guys lol.
Let's get it Let's Goooooooooooo!

This season, in a vacuum only lebron has a lot of mvps. No one votes like that
Nick is pretty smart except when it comes to lebron
Why thinks that his opinion is important... In the 4 last season it was wrong 3 times...
He's moses
Nick...go to play tetris pls, dont more blame yourself
jajaaj , nick talking sh.....
IT means the league is soft i hope Den gets swept
Alot of Joker fans acting alittle soft. If we cant react game by game or series by series why even play the games. Nick is speaking facts...after the Lakers series and everything Joker did prior in my head I was thinking Joker is looking unstoppable and LeBron at age 40 just ran into another alltime great but after the 1st two games of this series he looked terrible. He could come back to win or could lose the series but you gotta let the games be played.
Certified Jokic hater
Rewriting history in more ways than one
Hope you never get a vote. This video = exhibit A
You are just prejudice . Get your head out of the sand!!!
Jokic hater
Nick is a Joker that cannot evaluate talent.
nick is being insincere as always!! if he could re write history. Jordan would have not existed and Lebron have 20 championship with 20 mvp's ... hahahahahahha
This is embarrassing
He lie
Jokic about to get swept for the second time in three seasons.
he also has a ring. shai, luka, tatum , embiid, and ant don't. so what's your point?
@@lil_truthonce joker is gone, one of them is getting a ring
this didn't age well...
