Seeing Kayshawn stupidity, it literally causes me physical pain. Cmon … Rudy was cooked but he wasn’t cooked by Tobias Jarris he got cooked by the MVP. Rudy scored as much as Ant. And then … wth … as she said , don’t pretend Joker hasn’t taken AD to school 4 times in the Lakers series.
This football player is just a hater and absolutely don’t know basketball. I don’t get why is he even allowed to talk basketball on platforms like this?
Too funny how ants not being blamed for the most important games of the series gm 3 and 5 just to save the nba product and made this abt gobert who scored as much as ant 😂😂😂😂
Gobert played very well. Didn’t miss a shot and played amazing defense. Jokic played absolutely insane last night. Everyone who knows basketball saw that, look at the players and the both coaches. The guys put on one of the best post performances ever.
Gobert was smothering Jokic, but it wasn’t enough. Jokic was eight of nine against Gobert, but he made seven other shots against other defenders on the Timberwolves. When Jokić is playing like he played last night, or even a little less than last night, he’s unstoppable against anyone.
Nobody.... I mean nobody is stopping Jokic. Hakeem is the only one who would have come close but I assure you Jokic is still getting buckets, dropping dimes and grabbing boards. You all act shocked or want to blame Rudy but the truth is that you just don't understand or know. Jokic has put it on AD, Dreymond, Bam and Rudy.....
Now the narrative is that the 4-time defensive player of the year isn't that good at defense. (Facepalm) The chick is ironically the only one making non-emotional points.
Sports pundits are wrong for blaming Gobert. He can't stop Jokic bec. Jokic is just out of this world. Jokic played against top defenders in this year & last year's playoffs from Adebayo to A. Davis, NONE of them stop him from scoring 30 points & doing triple doubles.
Pretty much off topic but when they’re talking Deion Sanders being Gobert as best defensive player and then the best receiver going up against him and Skip says “Michael did pretty good against him”?????? Yeah Skip no one talking Irvin over Rice at any point in Irvin’s career.
I was waiting for when Jokic would break out and have one of these juggernaut scoring games. He was quite sloppy in the Lakers series even though he still played quite well, but he did not go nuclear in any of the Lakers games. This Game 5 in the Minnesota series was his first nuclear game in the playoffs, and it was so much fun to see.
They didnt talk about gobert sucking on defense in the first round lmao instead of just giving jokic his flower because no one can stop him they just try to discredit the other guy
In Gobert's defense, Ben Wallace wasn't known for 1-on-1 defense either. His strength was help-defense. Also, Mutombo got dominated by Shaq the year he won DPOY. Jokic is just on another level
Skip bringing up OKC winning 3 out of 4. One was a last second shot with the Nuggets blowing the game and another a 5 point win in OKC with Jokic not playing. That guy is always reaching and it is hilarious to watch him try to discredit Jokic while saying that somehow Chet can stop him. He is still butt-hurt over claiming Embid was better than Jokic and seeing all of this play out. If Jokic leads his team to another title he officially crashes into Top 10 of all time and we start to say he maybe better than both Shaq and Hakeem and being compared with Kareem
Teams have tried to let Jokic score to limit him as a facilitator, that didn't work. They try and double, he get's other guys involved, that doesn't work. The Nuggets solved the #1 defense, I am not sure what other team can beat them at this point.
Anyone who has ever played ball in their life knows better offense always trumps better defense. There are certain players that can only stop themselves
Defensive PLAYER should be the best individual defense not team ranking. without Gobert, Wolves defense is still up there. Wemby or AD are the actual best DEFENSIVE PLAYERS. Now Rudy is getting exposed.
the narrative for Lakers 2023 was that, "they figured something in those last mins"😂 Now, Nuggets 2024 has been burying the wolves 14+ points since game 3. with no signs of clean counter attacks.....hope is gone for wolves game 6.
In Rudy’s favor, the rules help more to offensive players nowadays. So you just can’t compare Olajuwon with him at all. On the other hand, Naz is a better defender to me, but even with both on the floor the joker laugh on them.
G o b e r t is a great defender Kesha doesn't want to admit that the joker is a great great talent that could make any great defender look bad keyshawn is a joke
I want Keyshawn to tell me who in the league is supposed to successfully guard Jokic. Apparrently Rudy is overrated because he can’t. AD can’t either. Last year I remember Jokic putting *53* on Ayton in the playoffs. Who besides Rudy does Keyshawn think should be locking down Jokic?
btw idk if yall watch but anthony davis is a smarter n better defender than rudy. wemby on the count was ranked #1 and when he off the spurs was rank last
Keyshawn behaving like Jokic doesn’t do this to AD 😂😂😂
Great point
He didn't. The Laker's supporting cast just failed to rise to the occasion
@@elijahstraight402 lol. watch the games nerd.
He's been destroying AD.
@@jay1jayf but the difference is AD was dominating on the offensive end as well

Let's be clear, Gobert didn't have a bad defensive game. It wasn't him. It was that Jokic is on another planet.
For real when Jok gets going nobody can stop him
Gobert was getting worked possession after possession letting jok back him down n have his way with him
@@RomanEstrada-jj8wf you're right
Gobert could not do anything to stop him. Naz Reid at least gave some fight. Kat went for some steals. Gobert was bbq chicken
make him a scorer. take away the passing. he isnt comfortable that way.

She’s ass. On tv.
same here
@@joehenry709 That explains it.
Nope Paul actually gave good basketball commentary ain’t nobody wants to listen a woman speak about grown men playing basketball
Gobert actually defended well if you watched the game, jokic offense was just much better!!
Yeah not to mention that the wolves actually stopped Jokic in the first 2 games - nobody has stopped the Joker in years
Preach it Rachel....Bring these heathens to the promised land. You are doing God's work.
Seeing Kayshawn stupidity, it literally causes me physical pain. Cmon … Rudy was cooked but he wasn’t cooked by Tobias Jarris he got cooked by the MVP. Rudy scored as much as Ant. And then … wth … as she said , don’t pretend Joker hasn’t taken AD to school 4 times in the Lakers series.
If Gobert’s teammates mad he can’t guard Jokic, he should tell them to try
That's the point. Rudy didn't GUARD him at all. AD or Wemby both snubbed IMO
A few games ago people were calling jokic fat and not an mvp but now suddenly everyone is praising him. If you switched sides, stay on that side.
Rachel voted for Jokic for mvp. The rest of them were dismissing Joker.
He wasn’t playing well so he deserves it. Jokic made the adjustments and has gotten back to MVP basketball.
@@andreglenn74Jokic is using the steroids thats why
He is fat and SGA should've been MVP. He deserved criticism for those first two games just like Tatum and every other star that doesn't show up.
Rachel Nichols analysis be cooking

Every sports show needs a clown for some reason. Key fills that roll exceptionally well. The king of the "Clowns"
@@DamianBadalamenti It most definitely seem that way
@@DamianBadalamenti and Perkins
He is there to be racist and hate on people. Now it's not Nikola is good, it can't be that. It's Rudy is bad.
Perkins, Keyshawn, and Shaq are just haters. The guy is not overly athletic and still finds a way to dominate.
Too funny how ants not being blamed for the most important games of the series gm 3 and 5 just to save the nba product and made this abt gobert who scored as much as ant 😂😂😂😂
Keyshawn showing how little he knows about basketball yet again.
Just when you think keyshawn reached the summit of douchebagness. He raises the bar.
When are they gonna fire this fool
Why does Skip sound so annoyed that the nuggets are dominating lol
Skip hates jokic gotta love it lol

Jokic footwork reminds me of Hakeem the dream
Keyshawn, I just have 1 question for you, HOW DOES THE CROW TASTE??? HAHAHAHA!!!
The FOUR TIME DPOY looked like he was on ice skates trying to guard Jokic. He couldn't do anything with him and was eaten alive.
Dpoy made jokic pivot before shooting more than anyone else could, just can't stop him
Holy crap, Jokic is the MVP. Jokic always goes off against Rudy … “I got 47 brother”.
Gordon should be considered for DPOY, at least all defensive team material
Keyshawn just a Denver hater 😂😂
What has he ever done
@@stevenbrown6720 entertaining
Let's go Denver Nuggets let's win another champion ❤🎉.

Im part of the Denver Nuggets blood line and Joker is the head of the table! We are the ☝️
No shade to Wemby but Jokic would be doing the same thing to him...
Rachel woke up today and said facts only.
The White Boys are too good! Like Bird, Like Eminem, Like Caitlin Clark, next level!
Keeshan has no idea and is always wrong, but MVP means your good at a lot of stuff. MVPs trumps Defensive player awards

Blaming Rudy is the newest angle of attempting to discredit Jokic
Rachel understands basketball 💛🏀
Check out Keyshawn's face expression when the others praise Jokic greatness. "Oh, no he's just overrated..." Priceless!😮
Keyshawn doesn't want to admit to himself that joker is a unique great great talent that can make any great defensive player look bad
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2024 nba offensive player of the year, Nikola Jokic.
-Key
This was like Shaq vs Mutumbo back in the 2001 finals...
Rachel's the most intelligent person on this show, ever. Keyshawn should really just stop talking.
Pretty much off topic but when they’re talking Deion Sanders being Gobert as best defensive player and then the best receiver going up against him and Skip says “Michael did pretty good against him”?????? Yeah Skip no one talking Irvin over Rice at any point in Irvin’s career.
Keyshawn always just talking to talk. Mf put anyone else to defend Jokic last night, they are getting cooked.
Gobert was playing great defense was all over Jokic but Jokic just to dam good for anyone to guard
Key is on-air because in this show, he's the rube...
Keyshawn man, he does not even know his own sport... they need to replace him
At least he is honest he doesn't like Nuggets....

Should have 4 MVPs
I saw NO easy baskets on dpoy. Problem is the gangster joker feeds off that.
This game proved Wemby is the real DPOY
Hakeem and Ben Wallace would still be cooked if Jokic was playing them
Keyshawn know nothing about basketball, period.
They didnt talk about gobert sucking on defense in the first round lmao instead of just giving jokic his flower because no one can stop him they just try to discredit the other guy
Key saying oh I missed that part. He misses a lot!
What an idiot!
KJ has just started watching Jokic, and that's why he's starting to come around.

What’s with teams forgetting adjustments exist when they face the Nuggets?
What adjustments can they make?
That's what I've been saying since the series vs the Lakers. Denver runs the exact same schemes almost every game
No one says “nuggets” like Charles Barkley does, with love 😂
ANT man turned into my 90 year AUNTIE, With all the trash talk and did not impact the game.
Ant man didn't play well. He did, but the Denver scheme stopped him. Malone is tops.
Nobody was stopping Jokic last night. Not even Draymond who was talking bs on tnt. Jokic would drop 50 on Draymond 1v1 if there's no double team
Keyshawn still doesn't get it.. Nikola Jokic is INEVITABLE!! He does this to every team!! No one is beating the Nuggets in a seven game series.
Keyshawn comments are so basic
Stop saying this rudy fault crap joker is just nasty and he deserves the credit if it was bron they would have said well its bron
Jokic primary defender has to be strong and long. u can’t have one without the other
Keyshawn a big hater
You did NOT have a good defensive game if the guy you guard dominates you. Period!
Gobert is good player, simply Joker is just unstoppable. You may find a way to stop him for a game or a quarter, but not for a play off series
Teams have tried to let Jokic score to limit him as a facilitator, that didn't work. They try and double, he get's other guys involved, that doesn't work. The Nuggets solved the #1 defense, I am not sure what other team can beat them at this point.
Ms Rachel right on point… as always but still I believe in what I see… I see MJ in a younger body by the name 🐜
My god Keyshawn is hard to listen too
lol so defensive player of the year is a team award lol 😂
Kendrick, Nick WRONG and this guy are just a bunch of haters. But Nuggets are the epitome of a true team. Champions made, not bought.
Anyone who has ever played ball in their life knows better offense always trumps better defense. There are certain players that can only stop themselves
Gangsta sweep coming up... I don't know who coined this but it meant losing 2 then winning 4 straight...
The key question is how Keyshawn can be pundit without any knowledge about basketball. Rachel was explaining it to a kindergarten.
NO KEYSHAWN FOR NBA PLEASE
Rachel right ... keysan wrong like usual 😂😂
Its no surprise timberwolves are 2-0 without Gobert 0-3 with
on 1 on 1 a single defender is not enough if they are the same height. only MJ and Kobe can escape from a double team defense.
Nikola Jokic, NBA GOAT by far
Wemby should’ve won defensive player of the year
It was dikembe and Ben Wallace that are 4x dpoy
Not Hakeem. Rachel needs to do her homework
There are tons of examples of “best vs best” in the NFL and it being a blowout. I remember randy moss dominating Darrel revis
Defensive PLAYER should be the best individual defense not team ranking. without Gobert, Wolves defense is still up there. Wemby or AD are the actual best DEFENSIVE PLAYERS. Now Rudy is getting exposed.

Keyshawn isn't all that smart Rachel is educating this amateur
btw idk if yall watch but anthony davis is a smarter n better defender than rudy. wemby on the count was ranked #1 and when he off the spurs was rank last
Jokic was eating well vs Gobert and AD
AD dropped 35/17 consistently on Jokic
