Bro. I pay attention and keep track of the NBA a fair amount via highlights, games, podcasts and news articles. I literally haven't seen anything about Jokic's season or anything. That's how underrated and underappreciated this man is. Props for giving him the recognition he deserves
unrelated (sorta) tangent. people say that larry bird wouldn’t be as effective or be able to adjust well to today’s pace or wouldn’t be a 30 point per game scorer or some say not even a star. jokic is essentially a reincarnation of bird down to the iq and ability to break defenses and see far ahead and play at an iq level way ahead of others. it’s uncanny and pretty awesome to see especially at that height and i’m glad i get to live in an era where players like him exist and then on the other end of the athletic spectrum guys like bron and giannis
@@yahshgarcia3689 if luka and jokic can dominate, bird definitely could
He was also out for like 6 games straight
This is because of the state of the game now. The game is boring and predictable and Jokic has a game that lacks flash. I as a basketball fan love his style because of its requisite skill but to those who don’t dissect the game he’s boring as hell… I get it.
@@blaque5582 kinda like the Mayweather situation, people calls him boring because he's not flashy.
Let me get this straight, Jokic is having the second best offensive season in nba history while also having the second best defensive season in nba history. Wtf
That is mindblowing
While also not in mainstream contention for the MVP. That's gotta be some sort ò record right?
@@khaitranngoc4176 that’s probably the most absurd thing about this season. I hope this video can kind of spread the word out.
It shocked me a bit that Jokic was that good on the defensive end. I always thought he was bad, but it’s the media that portrays it that way ig. I’m a pretty casual fan soo my knowledge lacks
Well let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's only been twenty something games.
Not only did bro practically predict he’d win the MVP again, but now Jokic won a title. This man is already a certified legend, and I’m excited to see where he’ll land when it’s all said and done.
He should have been 3 time MVP.
POV: You're watching this again as Jokic gets his second straight MVP
And people dare to call him overrated
@@shahidmustafa6410 he’s underrated
@@shahidmustafa6410 Luckily it's only Sixers Fans so we can ignore them either way
man i am new to sport and even I gotta agree that sixers fans are dumb af
@@aliciasplaytime6905 yea the b2b mvp is underrated
*Imagine if JxmyHighRoller was an official NBA analyst.* He would blow everyone out of the water with his takes and charts.
That's why they'd never hire him lmao He'd make too much sense
You really need to consume better NBA content. Literally everything Jxmy said in this video was said in podcasts by actual NBA analysts.
Dave Dufour, Kevin O'Connor, Ben Taylor, John Hollinger, Nate Duncan.
Honestly. Jxmy's analysis is pretty basic.
@@Oncopoda people don't necessarily watch jxmy for the best of the best analysis, his niche is that he takes the same information you could find in a long form podcast and makes it into an entertaining and concise video with amazing visuals
@@currahee fair point
@@currahee facts, he makes it palatable, it's a whole vibe with his presentation.
Give my man Jokic the respect he deserves
He’s on a mediocre team and if your stats don’t translate to wins they aren’t nearly as important
@@jakepetersen9743 it translates to wins when he’s playing tho
@@jeefneef9307 eh kinda he’s 9-6 when playing but the games that he missed they definitely could’ve lost with him because they were all like top 5 teams
@@jeefneef9307 but I think the reason no one really cares is he’s not entertaining to watch and that’s literally what the nba is entertainment

Come back here after the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic wins a Championship and Finals MVP. Congratulations Joker. You proved who the real MVP this season (22-23). Hope everyone recognize and respect your play. Happy for the Mile High City.
I can say this, watching Jokic in person vs on tv is just completely different. You can fully see how dominant he is even tho it looks like he’s moving in “slow motion” makes it even more impressive
Facts. I love going to Nuggets games to see him.
Hmm. I watched his 2 games vs the Heat and there was absolutely no stopping him. He was dominant on both sides of the court. Yes, the Heat didn't play their best games, but Jokic was clearly the best player on the court in those 2 games.

I can agree with this I was at a game one time and it was crazy it honestly didn’t seem like he was doing much just getting a few buckets here and there and me and my friend look at the scoreboard and he had 40 points the guy is just insane
Because people like players who are “cool” I’ve been into basketball for a long time trust me most of peoples favorite players are counted “cool” they have a good physique, act baddass and play on the court we’ll. No offense But does Nikola jokic have any of that? other than that he is an amazing player on the court? People just don’t think he is cool he doesn’t have a good physique he isn’t “baddass” or cool and he isn’t really athletic on the court he doesn’t dunk over 2 people going full speed or shoot a buzzer beater halfway falling he is slow paced like mentioned in the video. That is why no one talks about him because people mainly acknowledge players who they themselves think they are cool… so at the end of the day, pretty privilege is a thing hate it or not……But i of course hope for the best for Jokic and think he deserves the MVP.
can confirm. When i went to the timberwolves game when we played Denver. At the end I was like "Damn, Jokic didnt do shit tonight and we still lost" Checked his stats, NEVERMIND. This man had like 29/17/7 or some shit. He does it so quietly its crazy.
As a nuggets fan when i think hed having an off night he is realistically having a really good game it is crazy he does it and no one notices
Dang
Played good while tricking people to think you're shit to underestimate you. Masterclass tbh
I bet $1500 on Jokic winning MVP after watching this video back when the odds were +1200. Just won $19500... THANK YOU JIMMY!! You're the GOAT.
Goat bet. Nice job man
WTH….
Sheesh
LMAOOOOO THATS FUCKING NUTS
Giannis: that's a good bet
A year later and the title couldn't be more true.
When you win the finals MVP, win the chip, break Wilt's records and average a 30pts triple double but nobody cares
@@student99bgpeople just don’t like jokic just that simple. People just aren’t interested
Done.
Jokic had 24-6-6 game this season, playing only 15 minutes.....just mind-blowing

As an Aussie who is a casual NBA fan, as in checks the scores watches the odd game and doesn't really support any particular team, your videos are really informative as even a NBA noob like myself can understand them. Since this season has started I've been trying to get into the NBA alot more and your vids are really informative and helpful to learn more. Keep up the great work man!!
So hard when we can only watch certain games
Literally my same situation…I’m a huge Football ⚽️ fan and been watching a lot of nba content for the past 6 months
Yep, same
I would suggest focusing on players to watch rather than a specific team at first. I'm from San Antonio but the spurs are ass so I won't be watching them for years to come. SO sense my home team is ass cheeks I focus on talented players to watch
All you bed to know is Nikola Jokic is the best player on the planet. Nobody can do all the things that he does, and very few players can do anything better than he does.
We're at a time lots of people can make crazy 3's and crazy dunks, but only few player have decent post moves , which to me , is a form of art. I sincerely appreciate what Jokic brings to this game.
What's a post move
Jokic's a pretty darn good three-point shooter, too. 39% last year & 37% this year. 🙂
Now you kinda see how great Tim Duncan was bc he was more boring the this guy but was widely recognized still. That’s how great he was
I personnally hate the NBA. Too much show, not a smart basket. However, seeing Jokic, Embid and Doncic or even Campazzo is a real pleasure. They get so much skills ... I believe american people don't know what the trully basket is. For example, Kaunas in the euroleague. the crowd applauds the foul the players made because they know it's a smart foul. The opponent get a physical advantage? A speed advantage? You make a foul. Crowd in Kaunas love this ... and it shows they know basketball, not a show ... (PS: sry for my english, hope you understood my point)
@@ion282 you know something....I actually definitely agree with you. I say this all the time. This is nothing compared to the show time Lakers vs Celtics. Not saying there aren't any good players, but so many games are so unbelievably sloppy and a lot of regular season games they don't try.
Again, there are amazing players and teams from this era. But shooting three players doesn't equate to skill. While there are some amazing people who can dribble well, most can't. They don't block out, overall don't pass well, offense is stale and lacks schemes (way to much isolation), and just in general don't play the game that it used to. For people who like this sort of style there is absolutely zero hate from me. Steph, lebron, and several other freaks of nature have come out this era and are definitely amazing. But ya man, I wish in college they focused much more on team play and becoming overall more skilled.
But that's not what college basketball is for in America. It is what it is though, I personally am a Boston Celtics fan and stopped watching for years but as of late they have been incredible and I started watching a game.
The ending of this video is so powerfull - i watched this video 4 times over the last few weeks, mostly to show to other friends that are in disbelive. And that last line "How is that for value" with the walkoff gives me chills every time! thx for this great video !
Hey let’s hope they saw that 49 point triple double too. Fucking amazing
One thing you forgot to mention is how Jokic slows the game down so everyone has to play at his pace. The modern NBA is all about the 30 ft bombs and high flying, like you said, but Jokic has the ability to slow down or increase the pace of the game when he's on offense. Amazing outlet passes for quick transition points vs half court offense that seems to drain the clock. Great video btw!
Also described Chris Paul pretty well
Not really a ability, hes just slow it's not a choice
@@kennethgodwin2461 there’s a lot of slow players that don’t dictate the pace of the game the way Jokic does
Maybe you watch too much Kuroko No Basuke
"One thing you forgot to mention is a thing you actually mentioned."
Coming from a Bulls fan, I've heard more about DeMar DeRozan's MVP odds than Nikola Jokic's. That's a travesty
He deserves it
As you should. Voter fatigue is real. But jokic still might take it again.
this aged rly well! man just dominated the entire league and won his first chip and fmvp. noone can say anything anymore to him.
This video has aged as well as a bottle of 1945 Chateau Lafite 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Agreed jimmy is really a master of his craft no doubt
Drama 😂
Suspense
Romance
Tragedy

The way he ended this video “how’s that for value” really made his point hit home. I agree with you.
I had a goosebump when he said that
love the joker & the vid, side note you definitely gotta make a vid on this 17 wins inna row suns run
U still play cod?
We love u ARCN
Dont get hyped too early
Bucks last season won 19 in row he didnt make a vid about them
@@logistaur Whats wrong getting hyped for a team going on a 17 game winning streak? Even if they end up with a horrible season, a 17 game winning streak is something awesome to do
Giannis, Embiid and Jokic are truly three “1 in a million” players and we’re blessed to be watching them play at there prime
giannis??? a player who cant shoot? lmqooo....look at the greek yogurth yesterday in the skill challenge, lmaool..missed 3 straight layups and countless shots. straight trash
@@antheonthegreat1530 you really dumb huh? Who is better than giannis in the league overall? There is more to basketball than shooting homie, n giannis is decent at shooting, his mid ranges are underrated
@@antheonthegreat1530??? Lmao
@@antheonthegreat1530 and that's why you would never have a career in basketball, even if you wanted to.
we're just gonna act like Embiid doesn't exist?
Jimmy you are the 🐐 for giving Jokic his flowers way before most people and not just jumping on the bandwagon after his current playoff run.
I've been fighting with Embiid fans ever since Perkins made the MVP about race even though I knew that Jokic had no chance of winning MVP after his bonehead/racist accusations.
Keep up the great and honest content 👏🏻
Jokic is one of the most efficient players we've ever seen. The problems are that he's hard carrying a hobbled team, he plays for a smaller market, and his non-athletic body and style don't catch the eye of casuals/media. With his 2nd star out now, I don't think there's any chance the Nuggets end with a good record and thus Jokic will prob end up 4-5th on the MVP vote, but he's on track to have another career year and def deserves more respect.
What a game tonight vs. NY...
Perfect comment
its jokic, do you really think they will have a bad record?... oh ye of little faith
Nuggets will finish top 4 even witouh all the others.. Jokic is that good
Bruh when Steph was gonna win last year he was the 9th seed and a better player
Now while jokic is the 8th seed currently and really good rn u gunna say he is the mvp like that's all cap
Jokic is crazy man. I watched him in Dallas vs. Nuggets game last week and there was no stopping him when he was on the floor. He just played with our bigs like boys.

Was at that game too, was crazy how fast he looked in the post watching him in person
@@zeus9527 he is quick explosive.
I went to the game when yall went to denver. He ate yall up there too
If you find Joker’s game boring you don’t know basketball. His passes make him look like he is prescient and omniscient. If you told he had the sharingan I’d believe you. Never seen a player like him and watching him play gives me goosebumps
HAHAH yes watching him pass to where a guy literally was a second ago is amazing. Cause for most people it would be lucky that the guy moved out of the way but jokic sees that he’s moving before any one else realised
Nah. Not you don’t know basketball. Not “you don’t know basketball.” /
it's not that his game is boring, it's that HE is boring. He's just blah, he doesn't make any attempt to engage fans or seem the least bit personable. Mind you, that's not his job, but when people are complaining about how he's not a "star," well that's the reason. Pretty hard to be a star when you're a boring person.
"always have your hands up no matter what, he will actually find you" is what they had to tell new guys in practice. lest they get hit in the face by a Jokic trying to pass to them, in a position literally only he could pull it off. again and again
@@Jukeboxster I wouldn't necessarily call him a boring person. From what we've seen, he's a funny dude even despite the language barrier, with some very understated humor and a strong work ethic. He's just very low-key, not the same kind of loud-and-proud superstar we've seen so many times.
This is so much more relevant after Joker's sweep against the Lakers
I knew Jokic was having one of the best individual seasons ever, but I had no idea how effective he is on defense😳

It’s crazy. The media and public portrays his defense to be bad because they just look at numbers, but like Jimmy said, he can alter 12 shots with no blocks, so it goes unrecognized. What he’s doing on both ends this year is insane
@@ericmartin7418 because steals and blocks does not show whole picture. Player can chase steals, chase blocks. Iverson did that, Harden does that. True defender alter every shot, and doesn't let other player even dribble much. I played great defence in school, but I did it without blocks or much steals. Other players just got really tough shots, or they dribbled in one spot.
@@ericmartin7418 His defense this year is leaps better than last. Most people havent caught onto that yet.
the box plus minus stats are a bit wonky for him this year. Don't let this crazy high stat mislead you, he's just a little above average as a defender at center, nothing elite

He’s the best pf of all time he deserves it
He’s the best pf of all time he deserves it
I'd say Jokic is like an oversized and less flashy Bird.
and he is Jokic’s favorite player to watch back in a day too
How can anyone say that Jokic's game is boring? I sincerely cannot understand that point. His assists are so unbelievably clean that it looks like he is always looking into the future. When in reality, his court vision and identifying the location of his teammates is just spectacular. Dude just drops diamonds with every assist.
it's like he has a power like Nicholas Cage in movie Next
because he’s not postering anyone or pulling up from half court some people might think he’s boring
I Like him, but he does not look very athletic in comparison.
I don't even watch basketball that often but your videos are impossible to pause. Love the analysis and break downs and the deep dives into the stats.

reason he's being inconsistent in posting videos is bc how good his videos r. it takes some time n effort to make one. quality>quantity

how to make a youtuber not wanna post as much
I definitely knew this man was dominant and was straight eating but I didn't know he was feasting. Especially the PER and OPMG. I love fundamental basketball. I'm not an old head I'm 19. Game recognizes and he is a force on the court. Vision. IQ. Unselfishness. He wants to win and everyone here can see it. I have a friend who can really use Jokic as a role model in terms of the game. Great video as always.
I’m a nuggets fan and joker is very underrated and he has a cool background story
I saw him live in Charlotte and he’s something else. When he’s on and off the court it’s completely different. He dominates but is so lowkey that I looked up in the third quarter and was in shock this man already had a triple double
this has become so much more relevant now which is amazing
I saw the man play against the heat the other day in person. The man scored 24 had 7 assists and 15 rebounds. He did this so nonchalant it wasn't even funny. I didn't realize he put up these numbers until I looked up the stats of the game and saw his. He is one of the most under rated players I have seen play. He is not a flashy player but thats okay since he always puts up buckets and knows how to get the job done. He is a great player and I wish people would realize that. He deserves attention and to be looked at as a very well rounded player. I wouldn't be surprised if he won the MVP again. He needs the respect that he deserves!
His game is actually fun especially his midrange
As a life long Nuggets fan I can't thank you enough for making this video. People don't truly understand how efficient, dominant, and productive Jokic is. He is on another level and people need to start recognizing this.

I give it a couple years, and he'll be somewhere else
I'm sure he'll be just like Tim Duncan, a guy who wasn't really appreciated but now we think of him as one of the best to ever do it
@@sequoia1171 you're also forgetting the fact that joker has said publicly that he plans on retiring in Denver
He ain't leaving even if denver misses the playoffs
I love Jokic's game. He probably the most fundamentally sound player in the league right now. He's Tim Duncan level dominant but everything stems to fundamentals. Literally can do it all and is efficient while doing it to the point where it seems unorthodox.
What's crazy, when he signed his contract extension a few years ago, he said he wanted to be the Tim Duncan of the Nuggets, and NBa casuals laughed at that notion. Dude is the real deal!
I don’t see him as Tim Duncan. U see him more as a combination of Bird and Mchale. To those people who don’t see his game flashy, Yes he barely dunks but he Shoot 3s, his passing is so flashy and in terms of Defense his kinda like Bird that instead of blocking shots he clogs up the passing lane and good at positioning . I believe he was the best big man on stopping pick and roll defense last season.
The crazy thing is, Jokic grew up watching Tim Duncan, and when Tim Duncan was asked who he likes watching in the NBA right now, he said "Jokic". Such praise. It goes to show how much Jokic puts in work but people don't realize it.
Jokic offense maybe close to Tim's level, but Jokic is NOWHERE near Timmy's defensive ability and feel.
He is not on Tim Duncan level
Just remember you made this video and I immediately saw what you saw in him. And now look where we are at today

This aged like fine wine
This vid brought chills down my spine. As a nuggets diehard fan for almost 2 decades, I love Jokic and how he’s contributing to the team. I really hope more people can appreciate his greatness and the league should as well
Ok but chills bro rly
Honestly I hope he leaves Denver. I’d like to see what he can do with Luka
@@cmend let's have a different thinking. Bring luka to denver. Jokic ain't leaving denver
He literally got MVP last season. What do nuggets fans want? He's in a small market, ESPN isn't gonna constantly talk about him...
@@anonymoususer2634 even as an MVP no one talks about him. He’s an after thought in the league and I understand why but it still sucks to see
It’s because he’s not easy to understand.
He’s like a great piece of abstract art. He’s a walking contradiction that makes no sense yet is extraordinarily profound.
Just looking at him makes your brain hurt. He’s simultaneously as strong as a damn ox and looks like he’s made of pudding.
He’s one of one and a true unicorn in every sense of the word.
Aged like fine wine!!!!!!
Reminds me of how Tony Allen never won defensive player of the year a single time but every year he was in the running until ppl just got bored of saying his name
Thank you for making this. Jokic deserves some damn respect, there’s no argument that any single player is more valuable to his team. You can’t say he can’t play defense either, the numbers don’t lie.
JOKER greatest player of all time
Curry doing better than him this season tho 😭
@@officialzydalegend1740 bro did you even watch the video
Nah, he don't play for LA, AND he's an overseas player. No one cares.
@@officialzydalegend1740 no hes not
Some other key reasons why I think Jokic is so overlooked/underrated right now:
1: Plays for a small market team:
The mainstream NBA media has a strong bias towards large market, that pull in the most revenue. If you play for a small market the only time “analysts” on tv will mention you is in trade rumors.
2: He’s an international player:
The NBAs audience is still predominantly American, and unfortunately most American viewers tend to take a longer time to warm up to international players compared to guys who went to universities they recognize
3: He often has a pretty subdued, unflashy behavior/demeanor:
Despite his nickname and his tendency for on-court confrontation Jokic is usually a pretty reserved and non-theatrical player. He doesn’t really play to the crowd, he doesn’t really engage much with the NBA media, he doesn’t promote himself much on social media, and overall he doesn’t do much to hype himself up. He doesn’t wear flashy clothes or take a lot of endorsement deals. He’s not a magnetic personality in the same way a Steph or a LeBron, or even a Giannis is.
4: Lack of an established, Super Star teammate:
While having a really famous teammate can often split attention/mvp votes they can also draw more casual or older fans to you, plus having help that makes your team better will attract more attention to you inevitably. I would say AD joining Bron in LA and Devin Booker gaining CP3 as a teammate are two really good examples of how a Super Star teammate can make the NBA media pay more attention to you.
5: Lack of an overall narrative:
As Jimmy pointed out in the video, narrative often plays just as big if not a bigger role in determining the MVP than actual performance, and for all the reasons listed above it’s kind of hard for Americans to find a narrative around Jokic. Most Americans don’t know who he is and it takes time to build the kind of reputation where you can benefit from narrative.
6: General cultural difference:
Jokic is a stoic, goofy looking, unathletic (by NBA standards), Serbian passing center who works out to Polka music, that unfortunately just not the kind of person the average NBA fan wants to celebrate.
None of these reasons are fair or just, but this is generally how these things work both within the NBA media and among NBA fans
Never forget that these folks on the sports shows on the sports channels are not journalists reporting factual news. These are clowns with agendas on opinion shows. The highlight of their careers is to be the one to set and drive the narrative. Most of them are lazy AF. For 2 months all they could talk about day after day after day was Simmons and Kyrie. Kyrie and Simmons. You have a sport with 30 teams, and with prospects, well over 500 players to talk about, and these clowns just kept barfing out the same crap over and over as if they were going to be the one to solve the issue. Jokic is the clear repeating MVP if he can get to 70 games played and maintain his level of play. Blame Malone and company if the Nuggets aren't winning 80% of their games when Jokic is playing. It sure AF isn't Jokic's fault when they lose. Malone finally gives Nnaji a decent run and the kid explodes on the Knicks. I was thinking that he was going to have to change his last name to Green and make him look like male patter baldness was taking over to get some rotational minutes. The Nuggets have lost 11 games so far and ZERO of those losses are due to Jokic not playing well enough. But he definitely made a huge difference in 10 of the 11 wins.
he doesnt work out to polka the fuck are you talking about
@@Popotixovo he said he thinks its why. Try to read the whole thing before looking for mistakes
This is how American media operates. You don’t see this narrative spinning bullshit in other countries.
And he is white.
Literally haven’t missed a single nuggets game in 3 years. Jokic is my favorite player to watch of all time!!!
It was fun rewatching this after Jokic became a champ. 🙏👍❤️🔥👏
This type of objective analysis is a gift to the basketball world. It’s insane and you made it tragically clear how they’re overlooking a completely historic dominant season
It's December...
@@Dwayne12345 lol thanks for letting us know… that doesn’t contradict anything that I said, or what the video said. I guess we will have to just wait and see how it finishes up… but based on last season’s MVP, and the consistency of his game, it’s going to keep on going. This isn’t a streaky shooter we are talking about, it’s a big fundamental beast with a historic +/- box score of 10.
@@MarMaxGaming You may be right but it's too early for me to take a strong stance in either direction. Last season doesn't matter (look at Harden and Westbrook). Happy to revisit in February when the sample size is larger
@@Dwayne12345 for sure, don’t get me wrong… have to finish out the season of course! The point is he’s virtually having one do the very best seasons in history right after getting MVP yet nobody is talking about it. So I was just saying, I’m thankful for objective analysis like this channel because espn is sometimes on some BULL
He isn't winning games. Efficiently losing isn't a recipe for MVP.
I’m having goosebumps after this ending... You are the best storyteller in basketball, Jimmy
It is not even close. Best story teller and his research is phenomenal. His videos deserve to be in the hall of fame.
Can we have this video, but for the 2023 season?
After Embiid, MVP should be renamed Whinging Player Award: he who cries more receives it. Stats? Huh? What are those?
maybe the casuals and the media forget about him, but ask any player if they would like the joker on their team. or if they like playing against him. anyone who's played basketball even on some z league level can see that this guy is an absolute monster and the wrong one to fuck with. great video as usual jimmy
Facts, the haters who say Giannis deserved his third mvp last season over Jokic are crazy: the man was a beast for sure but Jokic was consistently the best player, the entire regular season
steph > jokic and its not even close lol
@@kylep5506 do you feel the need to defend your princess under every comment on the video? You’ve got your work cut out for you bro.
He just won an mvp
@@kylep5506 bruh did u watch the vid 😅
Ngl I thought it was at least close until watching this and a few other videos
As a Nuggets fan I've been waiting for Jimmy to do a video on him. Fantastic work.

Right!!!
Dude me too, I’ve been waiting forever

Thank you, stg no one cares about dude but is truly a revolutionary big the NBA hasn't seen since Wes Unseld and even he wasn't on the level of Jokic.
Hey Blaze!
in my opinion only other big on jokics level is wilt chamberlain. Only other dude I can think of that could literally do anything on the floor like jok does.
@@Gdfsandoz I would say Giannis is with Jokic in terms of big who can do it all. Even if Giannis got the best in defense and Jokic is better in shooting
@@paquinraino8180 👍👍
@@paquinraino8180 I honestly consider giannis a PF. What he has played most his career.
This video was everything I needed to know to place Jokic at MVP for +1000 odds. Jokic is simply insane🔥
He didn't cry for it and he's according to Perkins....White!
Aged like wine
Bro Jokic is easily the most underrated player in the NBA rn, everyone's watching curry but no one's noticing this man put up 26-14-7 on AVERAGE every night
The crazy part is he does not even pad his stats. Some games he just have 10 because they are blowing teams up
Not underrated at all
with a sp of 60% simply ridiculous aha
Someone has to have been paying attention for him to be last season’s mvp.
@Raymond Sims That is actually a really good point because Giannis was getting killed in The Media until he won The Finals
Man Jimmy gotta be the best at NBA coverage, actually talks about the stories the media barely covers.
True that
This video has aged beautifully
Would love to see the Nuggets get on a winning streak ending up with Jokic going back to back. He truly is one of a kind. Such a special player.
Nuggets is being fucked with injuries, holy fuck Im depressed
like his daddy steph doing. Leading a team in the west almost the best record. Fuck jokic lol he wont see wcf with nugs
@@kylep5506 What…? must’ve not watched the video
@@kylep5506 its very sad that you've grown to become this hateful of a person.
@@kylep5506 you probably wanted him to win MVP last year you clown. no ball iq at all, if you wanna bring that up what happened last year when curry couldn’t carry his team to the playoffs but jokic did? and will again this season without his 2 best players, don’t even compare curry to jokic, there’s levels to it
I'm glad you brought up Tim Duncan. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game and got no love from the public but everyone who plays loved him. Literally couldn't stop him, just hope he's having an off night.
yeah as soon as i heard him say people think jokic was boring i thought, "duncan would make these kids an hero"
Came back to this after Jokic was announced MVP
Looking at this today I can only pay my respects dude. you got everything right when no one talked about the joker. great knowledge of baassketball
As a center myself with my biggest skill being my court vision, I love watching Jokic's games. This guy is brilliant...
In my opinion, playmaking is incredibly valuable to centers because they can literally see over everyone 😂
I had good court vision as center. I could always pass. I think baseball helped with that. Taught me accuracy. I could move with the ball too and was faster than the guards. I was only 6'2 though. I would have never played center in the NBA. My ball handling wasn't good enough to be a point either in the NBA.
Because people like players who are “cool” I’ve been into basketball for a long time trust me most of peoples favorite players are counted “cool” they have a good physique, act baddass and play on the court we’ll. No offense But does Nikola jokic have any of that? other than that he is an amazing player on the court? People just don’t think he is cool he doesn’t have a good physique he isn’t “baddass” or cool. That is why no one talks about him because people mainly acknowledge players who they themselves think they are cool… so at the end of the day, pretty privilege is a thing hate it or not……But i of course hope for the best for Jokic and think he deserves the MVP
🧢🧢🧢
Thank you for putting some shine on the nuggets. It too bad we are dealing with a litany of injuries to key players and even role player type players this year. But it's always nice to see a national basketball fan recognize Jokic's greatness. His ability to add something to his game every year (this year being defensive presence) has been a joy to watch throughout his career.
One thing a lot of people don't consider about him is his ability to make the players around him better. By creating open shots and playing at his level it makes regular players on his team play better than they normally do. Look at Jeff Green's numbers when starting vs when he comes of the bench. Just being on the court alongside Jokic elevates his game.
Could not be more correct. Nugget from Australia here. Jokic’s role in helping everyone else improve not only increases production on the court, but also grows trade value off it.
Couldn't agree more fellow Nuggets fan

@@supercooldude824 I get what ur saying. I kinda think that's why people appreciate Tim Duncan and there are a lot of similarities in their game. Both play smart basketball have an insane offensive skillset and while Tim was more athletic and a better defender Jokic has been quicker and has really had an impact on our defense (look at our defensive numbers with and without him on the floor and it tells you everything you need to know) and at the end Tim IMO kinda went unappreciated for how skilled he really was and I hope Jokic doesn't share the same fate because man is it fun to watch him work

@@supercooldude824 Jokic is badass as hell. It shows you don't watch the basketball and are going with the media narrative on this. If you don't know anything about him just say that instead of making stuff up to sound well versed on the matter. Go listen to how Rachael Nichols or Zach Lowe or even Woj talk about him. Love when dudes who have not watched since Jordan somehow think they know anything about today's league. You are casual af and I'm glad you're not a fan.
Love the research as always. Thank you good sir.
This video really makes Jokic a gem, as Jxmmy really praise him and treat with more respect and appreciation with his(Jokic) game... And this time we're going to see the Landmark of Jokic in the NBA.. Well deserved Nikola Jokic and Nuggets🎉✨
Joker is highly under rated. Love watching him play, like you said an absolute work of art. He's one of my favorite players, plus we got the same name, so how could I not love'em. Great work on the video. Hopefully it gets a lot of traction and opens peoples eyes to the joker once again.
Holy shit. I don't know what else to say. I haven't followed every game, but this is incredible. The only coverage I think I've seen of Jokic is when he got shoved (and shoved back). Mainstream basketball media freaking sucks...
Mainstream everything sucks. Mainstream = dumbed down.
People who love true basketball do appreciate and love Jókic’s game, because it is true basketball
Thanks for that vid jimmy
as a german its quite hard to follow the NBA especially because i dont have the most of time. so i only watch bulls games from time to time because they are my fav team since i follow the nba in around 2017. but when i play NBA2k i always play centers, i love the role and i love to be a dunker but also doing blocks or just defending and intimidating the oppenent. i jost love the center role. but due to the lack of time to watch more teams i was never really that aware of jokic. but now jokic definetly has one more fan. i really love what he does
Finally someone else who puts some respect on the Jokic’s name

But I saw some clips the other day and I have no clue what people are talking about. His passing is a work of art! I keep wondering how he finds a hole in defense over and over
