How Nikola Jokic's ICONIC performance led Nuggets to Game 4 win vs. Wolves | Hoops Tonight 

Ant

@@bincorleone& then u woke up

Not yet, broski unless you mean joker hahaha

MVP maybe. ANT better individually. 45-5-5 and his playoff numbers are undisputable

I agree. Best player in the world. It’s close tho. 😂

love jokic but top 15 is a crazy stretch. wld be curious to see who you put him above

@@ebc817he’s already in elite company by winning his 3rd MVP. I wouldn’t say top 15, but he’s close

@@ebc817I already got him above KD and Giannis whereas other ppl may not be ready to yet. Either way I don’t see how he can lower than 18-20 range rn

@@ebc817there’s not even 10 players in nba history with 3 mvps & a ring 😂😂

If he wins this year he is top 10. If he 3 peats he passes up Shaq. If he wins 4 in a row he’s up there with magic and bird and Duncan..if he wins 5 in a row he’s up there with the goats

Facts Tom.

Two of those losses took historic nights by Booker and Durant just to win by ~5 lol

@@calebwilson3892 Yeah, exactly. I think Booker averaged over 40 a game in those two games and shot over 80% from the field. Not an exaggeration at all to call that historic.

I've been following the Nuggets since the days Larry Brown coached the team. This is a golden age that I appreciate so much!

@@tompratt7125kd too. They combined for 80+ in both games

I dunno man you see his dunk last night? I didn’t know he had that in him.

the Joker seldom dunk & jump aggressively to avoid injury..

It's art

Aaron Gordon has actually said that Jokic is a much better dunker than people realize, he just doesn't do it.

Right!?

Yes! Denver Nuggets is like tennis GOAT Roger Federer, not the best at anything but is about 80-85% on every aspect of the game.

@@spandsbabFunny enough, in one of Jokic pre draft interviews in 2014, he said that he was not great at one thing, but good at everything.

@rickyricardo2006 Man, he knew who he was right at the beginning, no delusion or narcissism. He is so unique compared to any greats!

Aaron Gordon deserves just as much props for Game 4

I think he is a robot

DELUXE X-Factor

I remember Jason is a jokic doubter being a top player

If he can stop saying "right" after every sentence he wouldn't be so annoying

Only the west champ unless Tatum is really a choker

@@evdawgbeathe is. There really isn’t any reason to say he isn’t

@@evdawgbeatthe Celtics, and the rest of the East for that matter, are soft AF and aren’t playing to nearly the level of Min or Den. I agree with OP; whoever wins this series is taking it all. The eastern teams are just delaying their vacation/offseason at this point…

​@Halfdozengp the only way you can believe that is by cherry picking failures and ignoring successes... Tatum in game 7s for his career: Record: 5-2 (losses to Lebron as a rookie and last year when he sprained his ankle on the first offensive possession of the game). PPG: 26.7 RPG: 9.3 APG: 5.1 FG%: 47.4 3 pt %: 47.9 +/-: +55 Tatum in all elimination games for his career: Record: 11-6 PPG: 26.5 RPG: 8.7 APG: 5.9 FG%: 37.8% 3 pt %: 44% +/-: +87 That is all before he turned 26. Has he come up short later in the playoffs? Obviously he has, but so has basically every great player ever early in their careers (with a few exceptions - but every one of those exceptions are first ballot HOFers and consensus top 10 players all time). Remember when Lebron was a chonarrative, huhma while since we heard that narratige,

He’s a consistent 3 point shooter now. Better than most guards

I mean, he’s flirted with 40% a few season- he takes them when it’s the right play.

The "consistent guys" think it's realistic to shoot 100%... 100% of the time.

Peace! You forgot Oscar Robertson; and not just you forget him most of the population does. I would rank Oscar above Jokic as I would some others..

@@99alfailiwaqain51 Big O is Oscar Robertson so no I didn't forget him.

They (Nikola) always use the first half of the game to figure out the team, and then they start playing. In this series, they needed the first two games to figure wolves out. I, also, think it's going to be Nuggs in 6.

He’s significantly better than Wiggins, but agreed he’s kinda in that role. I’d liken it more to Rodman in terms of impact and longevity if not play style though. You don’t want AG shooting the three, but if they are giving it, he has to punish. Most games he’s just meant to cut and play in the dunker spot

@@OwenHooper-mv4fm but like most people that play for Denver he is multi-talented and can play other roles when they need him to. You have to remember the role that he played with Orlando. Then he wasn't a great player but he was a very big wing defender with good ball handling for a guy of his size. I think people think of the dunker spot thing is kind of an insult as like that's the only thing that he can do is get EZ passes from Jokic and slam them home. He has to work to get into that spot in behind people and it's not as easy as people think plus those passes come really fast and you have to be pretty skilled just to get them and be very alert to know that they're coming. I think Wiggins was pretty damn great during that series against Boston and that's how I was comparing that kind of role. He hit a lot of threes and did a lot of rebounding but also took it to the basket. The guy is extremely talented but there's something wrong with his head. I don't know what's going on in his personal life but it's become pretty fucking weird. He will be a story of wasted talent for sure.

Im out of loop but im seeing these thanks for motivation shaq comments everywhere Can u explain ?

@@Ookayy004 if you go watch Inside the NBA’s interview with Jokic when he won the MVP a few days ago it’s there. But essentially Shaq decided he would tell Jokic he didn’t think Jok deserved the award. Made the entire thing about himself as usual in the meantime

@dandan4092 yeah i saw tht n was like Thts kinda pitty shaq wtf Shaq was acting like he had bet on shai

Also i think Shaq knows he will never be considered "GOAT" So he toom mantle of goat bigman So everytime bigman gets recognition He gets jealous

He proved to be such a small man with that. I lost a whole bunch of respect--was such a cowardly hit job

😂

Haha. Quality post.

I guess those are his water polo reflexes. It's kind of like an extra reflex that no one else in the NBA has or they do, but jokic's reaction time is fractions of a second faster.

🙏

I think Minnesota will win at home then Denver wins game 7

Must be a salty Denver or Boston fanboy huh?

@@KxngAntTae this would make sense 2 games ago..

I agree but because of Minnesota’s stifling defense and the lack of Denver’s bench scoring they needed a 3 point threat to stretch the floor so they chose Justin Holiday, but Watson to me has potential to be in an all defensive team soon

He’s been bad on the other end of the floor.

He did it, and he was terrible even on D who is his best part of the game. He was schooled by Reid,Kat and Ant.

Ok I watch

COPE. Refs Minnesota played bad DEN cheating and dirty They only won because their bench and Gordon played great Jamal should be suspended What else?. I'm doing a whole list

Lol i love your saltiness .... It's beautiful ❤️ and it's soooo satisfying 🙃😉🤫

Shaq?

@@jayp398 There's only 5 spots ... Shaq is not in that list

@@jayp398 I'd probably put him at #7 after Moses?

​@@bryanfox6726my thoughts, exactly

@@jayp398 he ain't top 5 in my opinion

When I first saw him orchestrate the offense ... Very Few in History Have done anything like it?
