How A Chubby Kid Became An NBA Legend 

Jokic would become the BEST player in the universe and all possible multiverses even if that were the case.

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂true

If luka doncic did that, his averages would go down

That is so cap

Agree

Joker reminds me a bit of Steven Adams. Very deadpan and self-deprecating. Just a regular dude who's just happy to be in the NBA playing high-level ball.

I love him because you can relate to him. Especially being a shy introvert.

It's kind of funny. The video is basically saying every breakthrough he had in results coincided with something he did to be less fat.

Yeah, nobody likes to see a god given talent like his go to waste. For the rest of us with no talent (and those who never unearthed their talent), hope we get lucky somehow. Jesus help us.

Thank you for this comment !

@@user-ng8zg1tu7dno, he did good on watching movies.

@@user-ng8zg1tu7d its a fantasy story not a history xd

That quote is the conclusion to Kobe's "Job's not finished" quote

Even as a kid he is running and chucking the ball in, pretty damn athletic imo

Agreed 👍💯

Regardless of what people think, he's a professional athlete, that requires a high degree of athleticism compared to average joes like us. Any professional athlete in any sport has a high degree of athleticism, even people who race cars or swing golf clubs. There's alot more to "athleticism" than running fast and jumping high. Racecar drivers need core strength to withstand the G-forces and hand eye coordination to react to the uncertainties of controlling such a powerful machine, golfers need full body balance and precision to be able to maintain consistency in order to hit the ball where they want it to go. All aspects can be considered athleticism.

I would guess he's not naturally very athletic, but develped a tremendous conditioning, which helps overcoming said deficit...

Not very athletic but has an ungodly amount of stamina

For Jokic NBA Championship is: Side Quest Horse Racing is: Main Quest

​@belfastbelchan4039 he plays to own horses lol its so funny how much he dominates just for his horses

That's not what I saw in the finals, at one point he was mad that they are playing with no sense of urgency.

​@@dumbassdude8372That's because he was in a hurry to end the finals so he can finally go home to his horses, he don't want a 7 series game 😂

But it’s athleticism that he had to work for he isn’t naturally athletic and can’t jump at all

He never runs fast what are you talking about?

@@seagull2175stamina is different from being fast. others are tired while he snt

@@974terentail Of course he has good stamina because he gives no energy on defense

@@seagull2175Guess you didn't watch the playoffs at all.

Yeah he's here to stay, prob 10 more years as a top 5 player.

@@nolimitr86 Facts, we love his unselfish playstyle, he helped get Bruce Brown paid!

@@StellarSportsto be fair, bruce was that guy on the nets, I knew he was gonna be a big factor for the nugs since day 1

His power also looks subtle. He never leaves his feet unless it’s completely necessary. He stays mostly grounded which gives him a very strong base. It also allows him to double jump quicker to get rebounds.

also helps that he's 7' tall and 280 pounds

Yup

Jokic works hard, does what his coaches tell him to do and helps manage the other players on his team. This is why he's been able to develop his talent and succeed.

If he's the best player in the NBA wouldn't that make him the best player on earth?

I wonder if Taco Bell is going to ask him for a partnership because yeah, he got drafted during the Taco Bell commercial

He isn't in the conversation . He is the best player in the world . Period

Great Catch!

@@ChadwickCarlisle Especially that there was no reason for anyone in Europe to wear anything other than Bulls or Lakers...

#1 In BPM, ahead of MJ is insane.

@@calebpauljaravilla4779 It depends on whether he and the main players on his team stay healthy. It's not impossible for Joker to end up with a legacy equal to Shaq's if everything goes smoothly, but given Murray and Porter Jr.'s history of horrible injuries, it's kind of likely they'll be injured again and spoil Jokic's chance to win as many championships as he would like.

him ang Giannis both "could" be BUT they have to win more, rings and individual awards. nothing in certain in NBA. Some soft who dont like competition could make another Superteam which will automatically remove chances to this two guys.

If he wins another mvp he’s top 15

@@PlanetOfTheApes999 his playstyle is healthy, he based on skills not athleticism

Agree. Big Timmy fan, too.

There’s always been divas tho but I get your point

@@Balmighty7well there’s way more nowadays cause of player empowerment for example James harden and Ben Simmons, 20 years ago they’d be kicked out of the league so fast

Timmy was a NBA legend... Very underated as he is rarely if ever is mentioned among the top 5 players in NBA history but he is top 5 or very close to that in reality! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

urmom

Jokic runs more miles per game (1.97) than Stephen Curry (1.68)

He’s not really “unathletic” anymore

​@@AK_638They talking about relative athleticism stop being dumb. Jokic is not athletic he just has high stamina and quick reaction time which you can argue that all of that are part of athletics but You cannot be called a shoot if all you can do are shoot freethrows, You need mid range and Three too.

What about dirk and Duncan they wasn’t athletic

@@nitoshadowhe never said being unatheletic was bad he said Jokic’s story inspired him cause he’s unathletic it was a compliment not an insult

He got robbed this year of MVP

@@thedreflacko ​ @thedreflacko for real bro. he really deserved the mvp this year after all hes done for the nuggets. they say the mvp is for whoever has the most regular season success and they definitely had a lot of regular season success. even for those people who say playoffs are important for an mvp cant argue as he won the nba. he rightfully deserved it. its a shame that it went to embiid who exited in the second round if im not wrong.

A lot of the greats often did. Example: Kobe Bryant. Scratch that, I think Kobe treated it more than a 9-5. Probably more like a 4-10.

Im sure you happy as hell with joker lol...possible back to back with the team almost on his back

🇷🇸🫡

Here before this comment goes viral

​@@Fortkraft12 😐😬😈

​@@Fortkraft12why would it go viral? By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

Hi

Jokic is by far the best non PG passer of all time, Lebron is a distant second and Larry a far third, Arvydas Sabonis was the best center passer, it's fair to say Jokic is Sabonis multiplied by 10. As for PGs, he won't surpass Magic, Stockton or Jason Kidd.

Jokic does have a crazy winning mentality though. Listen to the recent podcast with MPJ.

💪

I also love baskeyball

I love basgayball

then howard returns sad

That's such a specific reference, but I know exactly what you're talking about. The kid's name was Shawn Snella, one of the Heffley's neighbours. This was in the second book, Rodrick Rules. I don't know why I remember all this, but yeah.

It was mentioned.

Yep man now a days it looks like you gotta be selfish and rude to win like dbook,trae,kd,harden

Mishko.

@@alekstash thanks

Somebody broke the mic

I don't think so because Joker is a real person, unlike Lebron. Lebron is an image, a brand rather than a human being. I don't even think he even knows himself at this point. Jokic will sail into the sunset without any hype or fake marketing. He's that guy.

@@soloistdeve I also think that he would not play until he is that old, but with his playstyle I don't think he'd have problems playing for ages! But he'll probably retire to get more horses anyway lol

@@timaltstadt824 Exactly. I bet he'll go old school. 15-16th season, he's gone.

Hate LeBron the racist never include joker with that ,,,, ,

Yeah man because you bought into that espn crap about him. This guy was battling teams like a god all by himself in playoffs without a second option on his team for 3 years. The minute the team was healthy, he won the chip EASILY.

Yep!

Best player

Anthony Davis was a pg too I believe but Jokic’s IQ is on another level.

@@Thegangsta00711 Endurance, stamina, strength, mentality. I think except for rim protection, Joker is lightyears ahead of AD in everything.

i'd definitely love to see that.

He was robbed of the season MVP though

Fr

Jokic got swept too happens 😘

@@jonathank786 when his teams injured yes. you got amnesia?

@@moshimosan bron had a foot injury too “got amnesia” 🤓 headass 😭

​@@jonathank786 bron with his superteams? And what about Jokic?

@@aurelian2668 both still swept make any excuse you want

He is wtf? Based on averages he is the only one in the history of the game that did it. Fcking dingus. Even on eye test he puts so much pressure just standing there in middle that teams are scared and don't know what to do

@@Prince_mt12 He's literally saying he's a better passer and playmaker than every player in the NBA. Can you read lmao

Let's say in NBA history and be done with it, shall we? He's the first at what he does.

I think the best passer playmaker is Doncic... but Jokic is definitely a close second... man what I would give to see those 2 in the same team...

if Luka wins a championship, maybe its a debate but for now I go with Joker@@Inferno3003

People don't understand that advanced stats like PER actually mean something. They aren't just numbers; they measure a player's effectiveness just as objectively as basic stats do. The defensive box plus/minus stat measures how much a player contributes to his team's defense, and Jokic led the league in that stat last season, which means he's an elite defender despite the fact that he doesn't get many blocks or steals and sometimes has trouble protecting the rim. Jokic is always in the right place at the right time and calls out the opposing team's plays before they happen, and this is why his team's defense is so much better when he's playing. The Nuggets have also found a way to compensate for Jokic's problems defending the rim by using Aaron Gordon as their main rim protector.

You are right,Perkins is a idiot for what he said & Embiid is a cry baby.everyone knows who the REAL mvp of last season was.It’s a shame that he got robbed bc it would’ve been cool seeing him win 3 in a row,and win nuggets first title & finals mvp all in the same season,but Perkins with his race baiting & embiids crying they felt they had to gift the mvp to embiid.

Embiid is the closest thing to Shaq we've seen. Mostly because he's a dominant big who's emotionally immature

The legendary NY Knicks who beat the #1 seed Miami Heat with Allan Houston miraculous shot in the first round.

Yeah because most of those teams are chokers. That duo of celtics will not win anything until one of them leaves, the bucks fcked everything then Philly lets not even talk about that crybaby mvp.

they had to beat the Bulls to become the 8th seed too I reckon 😏

Embiid has become a true American even in his behavior.
