You two are whites, what about Perkins racial comment, because Jokic
is white, he's getting votes from dominated whites for MVP, what say y'all.
Jokic is 28, 6'11" and 285+lbs
By position he is center but he plays as point-center (new term coined just for him)
Core players are year or two younger so they have good chance to be at the top of NBA for 4-5 years.
Denver is a team that is built thru draft and player development so they know each other real well and they all believe in team play.
Thanks for all this info, this is great, appreciate the comment 🙏
That is not a new coined term for him. Bill russel was the original point center. And before jokic there was also Joakim Noah back in his peak years. Jokic is the evolution of that style
@@TheIcemanthomas I'm old enough to watch Joakim's dad play tennis but not old enough to watch Bill Russel so I wouldn't know if anybody called him point center. Joakim I watched few times live and on TV many times and I don't remember anybody calling him that, could be but I don't remember.
@CPGoat #3 no one called Noah a Point center
Another spooky thing about Jokic is that, despite winning 2 league MVPs before last season (should have won 3 in a row) and winning Finals MVP last year, he should be just starting to enter his prime this coming season. It's unlikely that we've even seen his best stuff yet. That's bonkers to think about.
He's a walking Triple-Double. You could watch a video just on his passes alone and be completely empressed. He's amazing
Love this! Thanks David, we really Appreciate the comment and enjoyed this one a lot 🙏
1st player ever with a 30-20-10 game in the Finals! With all the great players who could’ve: Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Russell! Nah, what he’s doing is special!
They gave you a good taste of his passing, but you'll be really impressed if you watch one of the "Best Assists" videos of the guy. And yeah, he's 28, from Serbia, and was (in)famously drafted in the 2nd round during a Taco Bell commercial, lol
Thanks for this comment, appreciate it, will have to give it a search. That’s an incredible story, they didn’t except as much as he’s given to the game it’s maybe fair to say.
@@DNReacts finding a player like Joker 🃏 in the second round as a scout or GM is the Ultimate get you fired/hired PICK….. these teams scour the GLOBE 🌎 looking for the best 400 Basketball players ⛹️ in the world….that is why here in the states by 8-9 grade if you are High end talent good…Nike/adidas is already trying to “tamper” with you sending reps to hang out with your parents 😂….. he was not UNKNOWN in the US he was a teenage basketball Phenom as the best Euro-league…. But it’s the whole does this persons game translate to the NBA…..especially the guys from overseas…and when you have 30+ teams saying NO it WONT when have dominated your league…like the Joker did….how did HE drop to the second round is what every team owner who could have had him…ask their GM 😂😂😂
Jokic wasn't a top prospect or known around Europe, let alone the NBA. He played in the Serbian league in a smaller team too. His draft ranking was where he should of been.
Jusuf Nurkic was starting over him at times in his early years in Denver. His willingness and ability to develop to become who is now as a player is why he's so underrated.
@@pierregibson6699 Jokic never played Euro-league, he played Serbian peasant league, it's not an insult to Serbian league, it's just that he did not even play the top domestic league, but equivalent of Championship in English football, similar to Giannis in Greece. No scout could have predict this, it's a fluke, or else they'd take him with a higher pick they had that year, they picked him because they had to pick someone and got lucky.
Jokic is one of the greatest passers of all time which is a rarity - if not unique - for a center. For a great bit of contrast, I recommend watching a video of Shaquille O'Neal; he's probably already on your list but you could move it up a few spots to give you a bit of context of why Jokic surprised the league when he came in; he's basically the change-up to O'Neal's fastball.
It's a little early to consider him GOAT material, but if he wins the championship this year, the conversation will probably start soon after. My guess so far: below Jordan and Lebron, but close to Curry.
Makes perfect sense, thank you for the comment and info, we really appreciate it 🙏
Lebron won crybaby of the decade. Can't be a GOAT when you cry to referees for help every other play. That's not even a man.
@@kennethward4985 Every single player in the league does that. You should stop watching basketball if you're so worked up about it.
@@jonseversike I'm Laughing everytime, reminds me of my kids back when they were 4yo and demanding a new toy, LOL, but a 38yo man crybaby !!! LOL
Jokic's greatest quality is that hes unsuspecting, meaning you look at him and he under estimate him. Before you know it he has a triple double. The funniest thing is, he doesn't even care about his stats. He won two mvp awards in a row(should have been 3) and when they asked what it meant to him he said it means nothing haha. Former teammate Isaiah Thomas said he recalls that Jokic would be on his phone playing like clash royale or something between halves and go put and give you 40 points 15 rebounds and 8+ assists.
Great comment, thanks for the info, really appreciate it! 🙏
Jokic is one of the greatest offensive players to ever play,and is definitely the best player in the league,especially given he’s gonna win the finals having averaged a triple double the entire playoffs
That’s insane 😂 what a player!
he's a center but can basically also play point guard, pretty much a point center. insane for a player of his height and size. he's the best passer in the league - one of the best of all time - and scores at will, but will always take an assist over a shot, so he's typically, during the regular season, not a 30 per night scorer like most superstars, which is why he's highly underrated in america (but he can drop 30, 40, even 50 when he wants to very easily, probably more easily than anyone.. he just very reluctantly does it). he's said in the past that scoring a bucket makes one person happy, but an assist makes two people happy. he's also the most unguardable player in the league - there's a video from jxmyhighroller out where he explains exactly why. also one of the most unselfish, humble, lowkey superstars ever, he doesn't have social media and does everything to stay out of the limelight, unlike most players in the league, which is why the league and media don't promote him nearly enough for the ability he has - and since his team is a small to medium market, playing in a timezone that doesn't work for most of the coastal fans from big cities, most nba fans haven't even seen him play until now, or aren't even watching now because the media hasn't made them care enough to lol. still, i'm proud to be serbian because of great sportspeople like him representing my country.
he's probably already a top 20 player of all time for many people, solidified if he wins the championship now. he's 28.
Thanks for the comment Kat, great read. Really appreciate it! Will also have a search for the video that you mentioned. He’s a great great player, really enjoyed this one
Easiest way to describe him is that he's a point guard (position that sets up the offense, passes well, etc) in a big man's body.
I love the dude's game. I also love his demeanor. He always looks like he can't wait to go sit down and wearily smoke a cigarette.
Haha! Incredible player for sure. Really appreciate the comment! Thanks
It's so rare to be able to watch an NBA player with a style of play that no one has ever seen before and Jokic is just that. His game is a blend of old-school big men, with his ability to rebound and incredible footwork in the post, mixed with the modern versatility of a curry-like guard evident in his passes and insane shooting splits. Tack on his all-time leading efficiency stats and you have a player who is big enough to see the entire floor and the thought-process to always make the right play. He isn't yet in GOAT conversations but I don't think it would shock anyone if his career ended with him in the top-5 all time.
He’s definitely unique! So fun to watch!
That definitely would be a a shock, given how much it takes to even be in the top 10 let alone top 5. We are talking a 3 title minimum, atleast 2 fmvps, and being top 10 in atleast one stat category all time. That’s not something that happens every day. U got guys like Moses Malone with multiple mvps and a title that aren’t top 10.
When the nba finals are over you guy need to watch his full playoff highlights from this season. He absolutely dominated.
This highlight reel doesn’t even make up 5% of the crazy things he’s done on the court. He is absolutely phenomenal!
There’s nobody currently in the NBA who can do what Jokic does. He’s an elite and complete player on both ends of the court and is only 28 years old. Embiid was great this year, but Jokic is proving in these finals that he should have gotten his third MVP. First player in history with a 30-20-10 triple double in the Finals and the only player in history with a 500-250-150 post season (that’s points-rebounds-assists btw).
There has never been anything like Jokic.
He's the most skilled big man/center of all time. He will probably go down as the greatest passer of all time, which is bonkers for a center, it's usually the smallest guys on the court who are the best passers. He dominates scoring in the post. And is a deadly shooter from everywhere. He is also one of the smartest players ever. He had a supercomputer for a brain.
He’s the type of guy who’s thinking ahead more than most.
He’s not day-dreaming about how he’s personally gonna look awesome, he’s thinking “How’s this ball gonna get in the basket?”
Joker is a masterpiece on the court , definitely gonna be one of the best bigs ever . Great highlight reaction!
Thank you as always Tmac, we really appreciate it 🙏
He’s the best because no single player adds more overall value, is more efficient, and makes the players around him better than the Joker does. He is the human triple double and makes the right decision every single play. The real MVP
Definitely a great great player. Really appreciate the comment!
Also, being from Serbia he grew up around water polo. You can really tell in his manipulation of the ball, he can wrap a pass right around someone's head or hands, or tip the ball to a teammate without catching it at all. he is the best big man in the league at catching and securing passes by far as well. He is also known for getting a rebound and throwing a precision one handed pass all the way across the court to a teammate for an open layup.
Thats crazy
I grew up in the ‘80s a fan of old fashioned centers of those days. You don’t see them in the NBA anymore, and Jokic certainly has a modern game as well, but it’s nice to see a big ban do big man things once in a while 😂
Thanks for the comment R H, we really appreciate it 🙏
A complete player. He has a perfect mix of old and new school. Many simiularities to Bird's game. The crazy no look passing, the touch passes, the shooting, the high IQ, the way in the clutch. I wish I could see more of his games.
3 minutes in and they already realized he can do anything, just goes to show how incredible of a player he is
The title for best player on the planet is between Giannis or Jokic but I feel like Jokic is definitely going to take that title after winning the Finals
I agree it’s between those 2 currently!
It’s definitely a “What have you done for me lately “ league. Giannis was king during his championship run in 2021 and now it’s Jokic. Maybe Giannis will take it back or maybe another player will step up (Wembanyama?)
Giannis got a dpoy I’m
Still taking him over jokic
@@rogerdodger9752 except for jokic has been doing this for years he won back to back mvps should’ve been the three peat and still is just now getting recognized for how amazing he is😂
@@lonelyboy931 Giannis can't hit free throws, threes, or pass all that well (especially not anywhere near as well as Jokic). Defense isn't the only separator here. It's closer than a dpoy.
One of the commentators said Jokić is a power forward, but he’s a center. Jokić is the best player in the NBA, which is like saying the best player in the world, and he’s positioning himself in the best center of all-time discussions. It’s a bit early for the latter discussions, but he has a lot of basketball left for how stacked his accomplishments already are. I’m a proud Nuggets fan in Denver, Colorado! It’s surreal to think the Denver Nuggets won their first NBA Championship in their first NBA Finals appearance!
It is incredibly extremely rare for a big man to have the touch and vision that Jokic has. That's something you might not be immediately aware of as new fans of the sport. It's usually the shortest guys on the court who bring the ball up the floor each possession, facilitating the offense. Those guys are usually 6'0" to 6'4" or so. This is one of the things that makes guys like LeBron who is a 6'9" forward and Jokic, a 7 foot center, so special. They can do nearly everything in the game of basketball at an above average level where as your typical player specializes more towards a specific skillset for their position or role.
It's also really hard for the defending big men on the other side to handle guys like Jokic. Growing up their entire lives they've almost never had to deal with defending another big man who can distribute the ball and is such a passing threat. Trying to control Jokic is completely outside the norm for them. Big men that are passing threats are just that rare.
Thank you so much for this detail. Really useful on understanding what Jokic brings to the game in a different way. Appreciate the comment 🙏
Yes he can do everything on the court. Everything. People say his weak spot is defence and while he can't guard smaller, faster players out on the perimeter, he is very, very smart with his defence. The play at 3:22 sums that up. He comes over to challenge the guy driving to the baseline and take away his shot but he also knows there's a guy to his right that the pass is going to go to and he steps into that lane as the pass is thrown. Genius.
Whereas most Centers (Big men) are there to set screens and get rebounds, Jokic is one of the rare cases where the team runs the offense through his hands, since he’s such a gifted passer and playmaker.
You guys are so entertaining! Damo says, “I believe the hype!” 😂 Turns out it was true!! What an amazing player!! Fun to watch!! Well done guys!!
Thank you so much Sarah, love that you’re still loving the videos 🙏
After tonight's win, Nikola can add now NBA Champion and NBA Finals MVP to his lengthy accolades just at the age of 28. He is on his way to the Hall of Fame 1st ballot when it is all said and done.
Jokic should have won his 3rd straight MVP...... but reasons with certain media bias swaying the voting 🙄
Yeah that’s tough!
No one has won a 3rd straight mvp since Larry bird. No way should he have won a 3rd. Michael Jordan during both of his 3 peats couldn’t get mvp 3 times in a row. Lebron James going to 7 straight nba finals couldn’t get 3 mvps in a row. Jokic at this point has accomplished nothing. Giving him a 3rd mvp would be absurd
@@larrythecableman6963 is that you Kendrick Perkins burner account? Embiid totally deserved MVP, speaking of accomplished nothing 🙄
@@larrythecableman6963 lebron went to 7 straight finals, most of them in an incredibly weak conference after he teamed up with 2 top 10 nba players so its not as impressive as it sounds. MJ should have won 3 straight and probably so should Kobe but just because it wasn't good in the past doesn't mean we shouldn't change it.
Regular season award lil bro
He moves pretty good for a 7 footer
100% Tony, appreciate the comment. Have a good day
His size and athleticism as a “Big” is a major factor, but there’s been a jillion dudes with that.
His difference is BASKETBALL SMARTS and a killer instinct! 🏀🤘
He led the last playoffs in points, rebounds and assists!
I'm commenting this from the start but Vinni Jr, Neymar Jr and Pogba were all there last game in Miami. I like What I'm seeing
Who cares if football players were in the crowd? That has nothing to do with anything.
I did see that they were in attendance! That’s pretty cool!
@@fezzik7619 it means they respect Miami, probably wanted to see Jokic, maybe like basketball or at least want to experience the NBA Finals and wanted to travel because it’s their offseason? You either have too big of a dump in your pants or just don’t understand why that would be a connection to two guys who are sharing their British vision on sports from my country. Get over it bruv.
As someone who grew up watching Larry Bird, Jokic's game really seems familiar...except that Jokic is also a top class defender. The thing you find yourself saying about Jokic is: You could see this game on the court at any neighborhood YMCA in any city in America. The crazy thing is that it works at the NBA level. Partly it's that his fundamentals are so sound. This tends to be the case with European players (Luka Doncic is another excellent example). They know they don't have the sort of physicality to be throwing down highlight reel dunks on people, so they tend to get really well schooled in the basics of the game. Jokic's footwork and body position are the kind of thing you'd put on a training video. He's just a pleasure to watch.
He seems to be as humble as he is tall and talented. Likeable fellow if you are a Nuggets fan.I live in Colorado, so that's my team.
What makes him so great is that he has the skills of a smaller player in a big man's body.
You need to check out a video of his passing his X-factor is definitely his assist's. His blocks when they matter most are definitely underated.
First time I have ever seen a Center play like a point guard. That is the best way to describe him I think
He’s ridiculous
Jokic is 28, 6'11" and shoots over 50% from beyond the 3 point line. Denver will be on top for the next several years.
The most fascinating thing is he honestly looks weirdly clumsy on the court but he turns into magic
That's one reason why I also liked that one comment about "octopus arms". He really does have a clumsy style to him, like an octopus, but he is in complete control of it, great stuff.
Jokic is the best all around player I've ever seen that looks like he doesn't belong anywhere near a NBA court. And he's completely unselfish.
He's a center that can play any position, including the point.
Love this and 100% noticed the unselfishness he shows. Really appreciate the comment, thanks
I don't know how many nationally televised games they got this season, but i feel like it should have been more
100% Zach. They’ve been absolutely incredible. Really appreciate the comment, thanks
My Serbian brother is 28, but your clips is are about two or three years older. He is selfless player ho makes all team mates look better, with that he broke many records in NBA .Last one is triple-double in finale series with 32 pts,21 rb,10 ast. #GONUGGETS #NUGGETSNATION
Nikola Jokic, Triple-Double Machine - Pride of Serbia.
As a nuggets fan, the only somewhat flaw about his game is his defense. They obviously won’t show it in this video but his biggest weakness is his pick and roll defense.
Like the whole NBA … give me a player that had exited because of 6 fouls
You guys want to know where he is in the GOAT conversation? He's the next Jordan. His peak is going to last almost a decade because athleticism is not part of his game. As Stephen A. says, he can even jump up onto a curb. If he was an athlete like lebron or jordan he would already have multiple rings. He's just so smart that he works with what he's got and hes moves ahead of the other players/team. He's not really playing against the players, he's playing against their coach, and he's taking them to school.
Offensively he certainly is extremely versatile. He's able to fill pretty much every role on offense. He can score with efficiency from anywhere on the court, he can create for others, he is one of the best floor spacers, he's elite as either the ball handler or the roll man in the pick and roll. I'll say the one thing he isn't elite at offensively is dunking and putting pressure on the rim but he's a great scorer anyway so it's not very important. Defensively he's slow footed but has great size, positioning, and is a good rebounder. He's probably an average defender for his position in the NBA
I'd say he's an above average defender, but he'll never be a great defender, because he just doesn't have the verticality to block a lot of shots, or the lateral speed to keep up with smaller players. This doesn't affect him as much on offense, but it can be a big negative on defense though he compensates pretty well.
I would say the effort and timing of his game saving blocks alone demonstrate that his defense is above average.
The thing I like best about Nikola and Donsic is that they are bringing team ball back to the NBA. I used to love the NBA until it became street ball.
i think he is the best player on the planet. He's kinda just amazing at everything, I would say he's probably top 50 all time with this ring he's about to get included.
He is 28 years old Serbian guy.
He is currently best player in the league and he will probably go down as one of if not the best big in history, it would be very hard for him to get in to GOAT conversation with Jordan and LeBron. He is good all around but he is not great defender, he is solid and probably above average defender but that's not where he shines as he is a bit slow. But his passing and shot making is world class as well as his offensive and defensive rebounding ability. And he is what is called a unicorn, a player that resembles no one who came before him, he is easily the best passing center basketball ever saw.
“Best player in the world” title is very fluid. Definitely a recency bias whenever the a new team ascends to the top i.e the nuggets right now. That being said Jokic is no question a top 5 player in the world right now and is playing the best basketball of his life. People hate the way he plays because he makes everything look so easy. He has no weakness to his game right now. Look into his postseason stats this year. Breaking every record in the book that matters.
Jokic is an anomaly, he has the savant mind of Zeljko Obradovic (a European coach who revolutionized offense in basketball, most people dont know that most offensive sets in the nba were created or inspired by him), the post footwork, fundamentals and stoic leadership of tim duncan, the shooting and clutchness of dirk, his passing/playmaking is a combo of kidd and bird, and he does it all in the body of old marc gasol. Also he's arguably the best rebounder in the league and has some of the best stamina, he averages running 2.64 miles per game (4.249 KM), which is the 6th most miles per game, he does that while weighing on average 78 pounds (35.38 kg) than anyone else in the top 10 for miles per game
FINALLY!
jokic is 28 and already pretty high in the goat discussion
Offensive juggernaut.. can't forget what you said
Jokic is built to get triple doubles lol does everything really good. great react have a good day!!
He really does! Thank you! You too 😀
Jokić is The Real MVP！！！
Hes the tyson fury of basketball
Some perspective on Jokic's passing: As is easy to see, Jokic is generally the biggest guy on the court. There are a lot of guys near his height, but almost none who are as tall and as thickly built. Jokic was 4th in the league in assists per game (passes leading directly to baskets), less than 1 per game behind the leader (9.8 to 10.7). Of the rest of the guys in the top 20, 17 of them were at least 5 inches shorter than Jokic.
Jokic is slow and can't jump, which are usually excluding factors when talking about the best basketball players in the world, But his skill level is so insanely high that it doesn't matter one bit. He sees everything, almost always makes the best possible play, and uses his sheer bulk (280 lbs) to negate any athletic disadvantages he has. There have been skilled big guys in the past, but never anything like Jokic.
NBA players, especially stars, are becoming harder and harder to pigeonhole into specific positions. Jokic is the epitome of this. He's as big as a center but can guard almost anyone on defense and can do everything on offense; shoot, dribble, drive, pass, screen, roll, etc.
He's 28.
Definitely got the feel for this. Thanks for the comment Kevin, hope you’re doing well, appreciate it 🙏
There's never been a such thing as "positions" in basketball.
@@jonseversike PG, SG, SF, PF and C are all "positions". Jokić is C/PG
You need to watch his greatest assists videos you will truly be impressed
I am a massive Bucks/Giannis fan, and even I have to admit that Jokic is the best player on the planet right now. He and Giannis have a very similar skillset, and, while Giannis might be a better defender, Jokic is a much better shooter from distance, as well as being a better passer. That last part is pretty insane, because Giannis is an excelent passer and regularly puts up 10+ assist games, pretty rare for a power forward... Jokic is just that good.
Joker just won the title and finals MVP in the process . In next 3-5 years he will establish basketball courses for American players to teach them proper basketball , then he will retire in basketball Hall of Fame, as greatest big man ever to play the game . Period .
7ft tall,28 years old. He was close to triple duble in all post seson.
Such an incredible season! Incredible player.
Nice prediction of the top diamond
I remember when Luka and Giannis were a lot more popular last year now I’m not sure anymore. Joker is definitely moving upwards. What one of you said “he can do anything” that’s the same thing Jamal Crawford said
Jokić highlight video with 0 Sombor Shuffles???? Y’all gotta look up the Sombor Shuffle
The Europeans are taking over the NBA. ♥ Jokic, Doncic, Giannis, Victor Wembanyama!? Jokic is the man tho. Skilled beyond belief. A perennial MVP. There will be a statue in front of their area when he retires. I'm praying that he stays healthy and has a long career. He is so much fun to watch, even though they destroyed my beloved Lakers. I still want to see them win a championship. He deserves it. 🏀🏀🏀🏀
The announcers that appear the most part in this clip are the Nuggets home announcers, but they unfortunately don't include some of their best catch phrases.
Are you 💩ing me that they never watched Joker play basketball?
- It can't be.
I didnt watch video yet, but if youre watching for the 1st time you must be impressed, there is no wuestion about that.
You still need to watch Larry legend😂
jokic isnt really a "highlight video" type of player. you need to watch the games to see how great he is
Jokic is unreal. He can do everything but jump.
"Is he an all arounder?"
Let's put it this way, I'm just coming back to the NBA, and after watching a ton of footage, what came to mind for me was CP3 if he was like 6'10".
dude plays like a target man in football imo
Thanks for the comment Justin, we really appreciate it 🙏
Guys how can you have a basketball podcast and don't know who Jokic is?
28 years old he was born in 95
This was a great video but doesn't represent his overall game. He can do it all: score, pass, rebound but what makes him special is he doesn't go out on the floor with scoring in mind, he takes what the game gives him and does what the team needs to win. Sometimes its 40 points and sometimes its 20 with 12 assists and 15 rebounds. He can average a triple double every night if that was his goal, but he is a winner and extremely humble as well.
Jokic has no offensive weakness
Does feel this way, thanks for the comment, really appreciate it 🙏
I saw Dirk Novitzki, Jayson Williams, a little Manu Ginobili…
no he IS the all arounder
What will make him a top 5 player of all time is his leadership. Showing us how the Team game of basketball is played. Has Curry brought the 3 ball in, Jokic is taking it out. 2 of the 4 final wins came with just making 5 3's not 25 per game like the worries of old did.
Should probably watch the jimmy highroller video much more in-depth
even England knows!
3:31 no, he cannot jump higher than a shoebox 😂😂😂
If he wins this chip, hes ON TRACK for a GOAT convo far in the future, but he's not in the convos now. Best players currently imo
Teir 1 Jokic/Steph/Giannis
Teir 2 Luka/Embiid/
Teir 3 Taytum/AD/KD/Butler
He is 28 years old
Jokic is sneaky good defensively - check out Miami's shooting percentage inside the paint when he's the defender.
Thanks Scott, appreciate the info. Will check this out!
Hes not overly athletic but his basketball IQ is alien high.
You accidentally chose a video that doesn't show even ten percent of his skill. Pistons Isaiah Thomas said Magic and Jokic are the two best passers in NBA history. Look for a compilation of his best assists because they are spectacular.
The best nickname of Nikola Jokic is "Big Honey"
I love that 😂
British and basketball :D
Right now Jokic is the best on the planet. People have been realizing he’s probably a bit underrated defensively but no one would call him a great defender. There’s some great blocks in the video, but he will never be a contender for an all defense team whatsoever. He doesn’t have enough lateral quickness to do what great big defenders do. He’s like Steph Curry, he started out being a poor defender and gradually improved with effort and conditioning.
It’s often hard to calculate defense like offense which is why debating players gets so hard. You have players like Jordan and Lebron who for many years in their prime were all time incredible defenders vs others like Bird and Magic who were in the subpar to ok defenders. Jokic is the latter. But on offense he’s God-tier.
Had a great read of this, really appreciate the comment and the info 🙏
Jokic is arguably the greatest passer of all time, able to find angles others can't due to his size and creativity. Has the classic big man low post moves but also has great shooting touch. Defensively he's improved a lot, has great anticipation and positioning, quick strong hands, just lacks lateral quickness and verticality but being 7 foot automatically makes you a decent rim protector.
Ranking him all time is a little pointless right now but I can see him easily in the top 10 when he retires.
Thanks for this FNR. Really appreciate the comment 🙏
He's objectively not the greatest passer ever. That's not even debatable. The stats and the eye test don't back that up. He's easily the greatest passing BIG, but best overall? Absolutely not and I doubt he ever will hold that honor. He'll go down as one of the greats, but guys like Stockton, Magic, CP3, Nash, are in a tier that's incredibly difficult to reach. Even Big O, Kidd, and Bron. Those guys had creativity and quick-thinking passing IQ that equals or surpasses Jokic, while also being far more surgical, accurate, and less turnover-prone than Jokic is.
No hate to Jokic, just gotta have some respect for those who came before.
@@Washanuga you need your eyes checked. Stockton lol
@@kingofthenoobs stockton is the leagues's all time leading assist man with a record for assists that may never be broken......are you new to ball?
@@marvinlawrence he's also the leader in steals, he must be the greatest defender of all time too!
You should watch Larry Bird, he’s like Jokic, but with a lot more attitude!
I will tell you one thing only... He is avaraging tripple doubles this year play off: 30.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists. And no, that is not his best game in play off, that is his avarage in 18 play off games...
That’s crazy, what a player!
No "All rounder" is 7ft tall. None but him x KD (6-11) bring it up the floor on the dribble.
And assists are usually the Guards business.
You guys should do some Damian Lillard highlights
