"Best player in the world" - Nuggets & Timberwolves Talk Nikola Jokic's SPECIAL Game 5 

Shaq and Gil Arenas are literally hiding in cave right now

Rudy gets a lot of undeserved hate. Just because you get cooked by Jokic it doesn't make you a bum, he literally does it to everyone. Jokic could've probably got at least 60pts on most players if he goes at them the way he went at Gobert.

Man JOKIC looks like THANOS with all of the Infinity Stones! HE'S INNIVITABLE!

Real talk Rudy would shut down any other center. Jokic just too damn good

Jokic hit some tough buckets over Rudy. You just gotta tip your cap. He was doing that to AD not too long ago and some people say AD should have been DPOY.

I like Jokic a lot,im also Serbian.But i think the media disrespects a little bit his teammates with often asking about Jokic.They're all good ,Jammar,Aaron Gordon,Michael Porter and so on

People are already comparing him to NBA legends by measuring his stats up against the NBA all-time greats. What people do not realize is that those stats and those players are just placeholders that Jokic is knocking down one by one. This is a whole new era of NBA what we are witnessing is something that we have never seen. I watched Magic vs Bird - I've watched Magic Vs Jordan - I watched the Kobe era and the LeBron. What this is nothing I have ever seen with my 2 eyes. This is a moment in time, this is history in the making. We as fans should stop comparing and just watch the game the way it was always meant to be played.

No disrespect to anyone but Jokic might be the best basketball player I’ve ever seen

Jokic is the new president of the big man alliance.

Lakers fan know how they feel😂

MVP vs DPOY and the MVP cooked with ease

I know that somehow, someway, Rudy is gonna get most of the blame if the Timberwolves lose this series. All because Jokić is just that damn good. It annoyed me when Reggie Miller chastised Rudy for not defending Jokić. Had he not been watching the game? It just didn't matter.

The disrespect from SHAQ is sickening

WOLVES AND NUGGETS IS GREAT MATCH PLAYOFFS IN NBA HISTORY

Nuggets fan and Colorado native here. Gobert played well Joker is on another level. The amount of Joy we experience watching the Nuggets right now I just want to bottle it up and keep it tight.

Joker on his way to becoming the new goat of this game. Wouldn't be surprised if he finished with more than 5 Mvps and around 5 championships and nba finals Mvp. Even with all that, the thing that strikes me the most is the ability to make others better. Jamal, Gordon, MPJ, KCP and so on own a lot of the career success to Joker. I mean, there's an advanced stat that says that the team without him is on the level of the Washington Wizards. With him on the court it suddenly seems that all the guys become all star. For me that's the best quality of a player, even considering the fact that this guy averages a triple double in his career and elevates even more his game comes playoff time to average 30/14/12. He done this for the past half decade and the man didn't even reach his 30's yet. If he's able to carry on like this for another 5 to 8 years, he will become the new goat of this game.

Nikola is a member of MENSA!!!!

Respect to Murray,thanks coach

People aren’t ready to talk about where peak jokic TRULY ranks all time

Denver Born and Raised!! Letsss gooooo nuggets!!!!!

MADE IN SERBIA! You are seeing just tipical humble strong man from serbia, we don't care about fame we just love the game of basketball.

Minnesota are singing Jokic praises already..surely now no stopping the nuggets from going to the conference finals.

What do you have to say about our MVP now, Shaq?!

People should start to accept he's up there with MJ and Kobe

Wemby is the real DPOY, Rudy didn’t deserve that award.

He is another Larry bird but bigger and stronger

Murray if you read between the lines: yeap that fella is ridiculous

Jokic hands are rated E for everyone not just Rudy!

attack is the best defense!!!

The touch Jokic has is up there with Kareem, Hakeem and Tim Duncan, it is absolutely unbelievable that anywhere near the basket he has an unlimited set of moves that leads to a floater or hook shot and last night I think he didn’t even hit the rim the whole night 😂

Crazy how Jokic had to win 3 MVP's and a title to get proper respect from the league. The media still isnt sold. All these unproven players can be the face of the league though. Think we still have a big 'X-word' problem, look at Luka, he essentially has to win a title before being top 2 in MVP. Its almost guranteed Embiid and Shai will get placed higher in MVP voting over Luka. Luka fighting Ant for MVP positioning is disgusting.

Gobert a "future hall of famer" is wild lol

Kinda feel bad for Golbert. Like all his seasons effort is being questioned just because Jokic is phenomenal. As if his award is based solely on how to stop Jokic.

goat

"it's amazing how he reads the game and trusts his teammates"

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.

Prime Jokic > Prime Lebron

Who’s Lebron? I’ll take Jokic over a primeLebron any day

Seeing Humbeled Gobert is awesome!!😅

Every time Jokic scores a bucket on offense, the Wolves have to come right back in their half court set and put pressure on him with any of their bigs (Gobert, Towns, Reid). The fact that Denver is making a conscious effort to double Anthony Edwards on the perimeter means you have man to man coverage on the low post. This actually facilitates the 1-1 matchup on Jokic you need to pressure him with. Should they decide to help the low block, that results in Edwards being free to create on the perimeter/mid range. Denver does this perfectly with Jokic and Murray in their offense, yet Minnesota played a forced offense with 3s that are rushed when they don't have good ball movement. That is why Denver is the smartest team in basketball and championship calibre, while Minnesota is struggling to be consistent in this series. The Wolves should be winning this series, but Denver is outsmarting them, and thus the Nuggets are up 3-2.

Wilt , Jordan , Kobe , Russel , Lebron , Bird , Jabbar , Saq , West , Jokic , 10 GOAT for me

if u building a team and u get to pick lebron or jokic and u can have them for their whole career, i’m not sure people would all pick lebron

Rudy is like Camby and Garnett that won DPOY(deservingly) but in no way stopping a bigger player like Shaq 1-vs-1. And right now, Jokic and Embiid are the biggest player in this small ball NBA. You all think Wemby or Bam or Ad could do better? the only upside of this 3 over Rudy is they could do better offensively. SO in some way, they could negate some of Jokic production. But to lock him up completely? No

Prime Jokic= Darkseid

Jokic, looked really good tonight!! They left Gobert one on one, that was a mistake!!

Refs were told jokic gets to win

To see amazing offensive actions, we need great defensive players. That was a great game to see. But to stop a MVP, you need another MVP 😵🤯😅. To stop Steph & dub squad, CAVS needed Lebron ! Love Rudy 😉🇨🇵, keep pushing💪.

Gobert is amazing, Jokic is amazing! If nuggets are to be smart, they would take Gobert to play i nDenver with this crew and win next 5 titles

Dallas and OKC fans, what was that you were saying about the MVP?

yall will blame gobert and while he can get exposed at certain moments, there is not one center who could gaurd the shots he was making tonight, Jokic has made a carrer out of exposing DPOY in the playoffs, he keeps on tradition

JOKICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

You can't guard brain, that's it.

Wemby own Jokic

Laker fans know how they Feel😂

He like messi the way he analyses the game

Jokic should have been on the Spurs.

Gobert fly fly 🎉😂

Wolfs had the best game and result in this series without Gobert!

this is when the media messes up a team. they are going to interview Joker but spending all the questions asking Murray about Joker is so unfair.

Shaq mad

HELLO

if jamals voice was a little higher kinda low key sounds like mahommes

Jamal would be nothing without the Joker

Anytime you saying the guy on the opposing team is the best player in the world you ve quite and gave up Rudy just wanna go change diapers at this point!

"Best player in the world", Shaq!! Not just "center". Best player. Sorry that tortures you. Deal with it.

1:58

Clark is gonna be even more depressed now

Only Chet Holmgren can lockdown Jokic on the west finals

Jokic showing the world what a negative creep Shaq really is. If Inside the NBA had ANY BALLS AT ALL they would replace that negative hater that pisses on players consistantly, especially big men that are so much more skilled than he ever was

Brother I have 40

Ruby luulike abigahh coxsucca

You've got to love how we sit here and critique the MVP and DPY. Jokic is just lucky that I'm not the MVP because I would jump higher than him........as I sit here and stuff Doritos in my mouth by the crushed handful sitting in a fart cloud.

Rudy is in the wrong sport, would be a much better goal keeper for France's soccer team.

Damn Wolves coach sounds sad af.

Prime Jokic>Prime Jordan

sga should have been mvp...😂

jokic is so gifted offensively he's also the defensive player of the year cuz whoever he plays he automatically is also the better defender LMAO. Lebron and Jordan are great but could never.

No one on the Timberwolves wolves should be calling him the best in the world

Not better than prime Lebron

joker is such a cringe basic name, idgi

Rudy Gobert is a joke

Best player in NBA. not world.. wtf..

He not the best player wolves just packed it in and it’s pathetic guess we gotta look forward to Celtics or knicks to handle them

First but i have shit phone. So i will be 10001....

To see amazing offensive actions, we need great defensers. That was a great game to see. But to stop a MVP, you need another MVP 😵🤯😅. To stop Steph & dub squad, CAVS needed Lebron ! Love Rudy 😉🇨🇵, keep pushing💪.
