  • Nikola Jokic is the back to back MVP, with 2 of the greatest statistical seasons ever, yet continues to get better. His skill set is unlike anything we’ve ever seen from a center, making him one of the most valuable players ever.

He knew exactly how that play was going to unfold before it happened. It's honestly unbelievable how good of a passer he is.

      European players from Sabonis era would have trived greatly in this era because it emphasizes skill, zones and transition rather than one-on-one physicality of hand checking on half-court ISO plays. The rules were different when Sabonis played hence the slow pace of his era. Jokic plays in the fastest paced era of basketball which reflect on the league inflated stats.

Zion is 6,8 and approx same weight, but he has to jump and absorb all that stress, landing on both feet and all it takes is a little off balance landing to snap a ligament, Achilles or Meniscus!

    This video single handedly convinced me there’s been a shift in the axes of power within the nBa and that he’s definitely the best player followed by the Greek freak and then Embid then KD and tatum . Basically it’s the era of the big man once again in the NBA. The skilled big man. We had the era of the 2 guard with MJ & Kobe; followed by the era of the “wing” with Lebron and KD and Kawai; then the era of the guard and the three with Steph curry. Now it’s the era of the unicorn 🦄, the freak, the 7 foot position-less super player, that basically if you don’t have one your finished. I watched the bucks defeat the suns in a finals where it wasn’t really competitive and almost boring watching 34 dunk and drive and layup, there was nothing they could of done, really nothing no one could do.

      ​​@@MrExcessumThose 2 together would very literally break the league. The offensive ratings they would put up would shatter records adjusted for pace - Jokic is already the most efficient volume scorer all time, but if Steph was on his team, he may push the record higher

    Nikola Jokic is a center playing as a point guard. While critics may say he has an unfair advantage. Most basketball fans would say that he successfully redefined the position of center within the NBA in the last few years. The thing about Jokic is he'll continue improving as a player for the rest of his career. If the Denver Nuggets management can build a successful dynasty around Jokic I'd say that Denver Nuggets are gonna dominate the league for at least a decade.

Maybe a few other names. The fact that his volume has only slightly dropped while his efficiency has reached an absolutely ridiculous level is crazy about this year as well. Cant wait for Murray to be back to his old self. Hopefully MPJ holds up.

  • @StephenBoesch
    @StephenBoesch Před rokem +2

    Excellent video. Only quip: he is actually a _very_ good defender. The two best Defensive metrics i know: NBA DPRM has him in the top15, 538-RAPTOR has Jokic in top four defensive players, I just watched him play the (good) Grizzlies team last night. NOONE wants to try to consistently battle him for offensive boards: he takes up a huge amount of space for either a teammate or himself to grab the miss. He has near zero verticality: but it matters little. Does an opposing player with likely better vertical leap want to try to wrestle for the ball when being pushed backwards by that big body? The evidence I witnessed was a resounding no. The opposing team's interior play also just gets stuck in the mud: trying to drive to the basket usually gets stopped 12 feet out by help from Jokic - who has a low foul profile but high deterrence ability. Note that he does also venture all the way out to the 3-line to contest shots when useful. He also has great understanding of positioning to cut off passing lanes and even divert or get his hands on the ball.

  • @cesarquint256
    @cesarquint256 Před rokem +2

    I swear I see Tim Duncan in 90 % of his shots and movements in the post, and I can’t believe I feel this way but he maybe has better touch around the rim than timmy, although to be fair in the early 00s the kind of shots Jokic is getting now would be full of pushes and elbows, even like that he would have score at a crazy efficient level but imo not as crazy high as now.
    Iirc he said he idolize Timmy or something like that so I’m not surprised but it warms my heart seeing someone dominate so easy just sealing or by the left hook after the swim move or by the swim move.
    Duncan is more know for the bankshot or his spin left bank shot but he really dominate with a lot of the most simple moves, swim, seal, counters pivot, right hook, left hook and with a tremendous iq wich all parallels to jokic.

    I love this video. I love the analysis; it's very shrewd. I subscribed. It's very well edited. The phrase "... at the free throw line or on the elbow" drives me crazy, though, because the elbow is obviously a part of the the free throw line. I know that people routinely refer to the elbow as basically a step or two pushed off the elbow on the inbound pass, and it's much more specific, but definitionally, it's the free throw line area. It's the pedant in me; I might have said: "the top of the key and the free throw line -- particularly the elbow, where ..." I had to think through it, like, are you saying he takes many free throws without saying he takes many free throws (he takes relatively few and it's one of the worst aspects of his game, so probably not). That being said, you're the experts; you do you. I love this video.

    Like, I *love* that at a very, *very* basic level, everything's about space. About getting the ball where it needs to be *when* it needs to be there.
    Love it.
