Only because Shaq has such a huge ego + being Mr. Sensitive. His comeback was claiming that MJ cooked Hakeem... MJ actually cooked Shaq in the 96 playoffs. It was so bad that Shaq never returned to Orlando.
Nah Shaq just an old head hater. If Jokic played like he did in games 1 and 2 Shaq would just keep running his mouth about how SGA’s foul baiting deserved MVP
They aren't wrong though. Rudy can't guard Joker. Kat did a better job on Joker in games 1 and 2. They won when Rudy took a game off for his child's birth. Why? Because Rudy can't guard him. Kat's the better choice because the DPOY isn't willing to get his hands dirty. Draymond is a hater but he's not wrong about this.
@@rydakulejoker was 11-28 vs gobert in this series before this game, which is phenomally low for the joker who usually is in the 60%+ FG range . Joker COOKED Draymond in the playoffs the year the nuggets and warriors met when Draymond won DPOY.
Shaq's job is to talk about the game as he see's it. I think some of you are not giving him his props either. Everything that Joker is at this point as a player. Shaq was more and he was more in an era of elite big men. Hakeem, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Ewing, Zo, KG, Dirk, Ben Wallace, Rodman, Mutumbo, Webber, Malone, Chuck... Remember what Jordan said about Curry? Did we go crazy? This type of reaction from Joker fans makes people who really understand the history of the game annoyed. JB is having a great series for the Knicks, its fair to point out he's doing it against the Pacers defense. I'm a Knicks fan, its ok to say hey lets have context here. This is the 4th or 5th time we've seen Rudy look unplayable in a playoff series. Again, Its fair to point that out.
if shaq took it personal bcuz he keeps mentioning about getting rob before interviewing Jokic, i think hes the one that should not take it seriously XD
HAHAHA lmao erni also got him last time when he rained on the Joker's mvp announcement. hope they let go of shaq wherever program they'll be in next time
@@jummyran based on my obeservation while watching the show thru the years, he’s the only person on the desk who taps it, slaps it, knocks it, crumples the papers, clears his throat in unnecessarily amount of times and makes other bunch of noises, when he’s frustrated or irritated.
Let's not get carried away he isn't better yet. Shaq was the most dominating force in the NBA when he played. Joker needs another championship at least. Shaq never shot 3s either.
@@christianmiguellicudanilov220 I'm good with that. Want to see that. My team has a few years to go to be back in top. But at least we got a 7'4 unicorn playing for awhile.
@@berlin4103bro draymond is way better defender and smarter than gobert. Considering Draymond Green’s height, he got joker in game 4 2022 Playoffs. Imagine, being awarded 5 DPOY and get cooked all the time.
Shaq and Dray have more in common than they realize. They both attack players out of jealousy, they both are way past their prime, they needed a lot of help to get those rings, they're both sensitive and soft, they're both rash and short-tempered, they never admit their mistakes, and they never learn. I could go on and on but it's all public knowledge
Bruh... Say whatever you want about Draymond but your point about Shaq needing help is as stupid as it could be... 33.6 ppg 14.1 rebounds and 3 assists with 60+ FG% those are his averages on the 20 Finals games he played with the Lakers with 3 Finals MVP's
@@akirosakuragi9279 what's your point? The same way Curry would've lost without Klay or Jokic would've lost without Murray; Bron without Kyrie or Wade and the list goes on and on... Is a team sport, but to say someone needed a lot of help while carrying a Team putting those level of stats on a moment in the league on which getting to 100 points was a miracle makes no sense
@@elisamuelpedraza8228 Funny that you conveniently didn't mention Kobe who carried Shaq 3 times. Jokic didn't have a star like that alongside him. Murray is anything but consistent. Also, even a blind person can see that he is butthurt about Jokic's MVP because he is resentful of the past(Nash). He said that himself too. He could care less about SGA. He is threatened and jealous of a much better skilled big man than he was, who's collecting them MVPs like candy, while all he ever got was that one MVP. Dray is the same kind of person.
It’s because Jokic is entering the conversation of being better than Shaq. He’s competition. He knows Embid isn’t competition and never will be. He hasn’t won a championship and only has one MVP. Jokic already has more MVPs than Shaq and could end up with as many rings
Serbian here,Shaq you are one of the moust loved players ever in Serbia,remember when you got jursey with O'neiloVIĆ when you play for Phoenix where you shot your best Ft ever,thanks to couch from Serbia,you can do better brother...We still love you !
DG hating on Gobert, glad he got that therapy it's helping. And if not Gobert who was going to stop Jokic ? AD ? Wemby ? look at all the top defensive player vote getters. None of them could stop him.
Wemby had like 4 to 5 blocks on Jokic last time they played. Once Wemby put on more weight, none of these big centers getting any buckets in the paint.
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn Chill, donkey is like the 4-5th best player on the team, so dont act like he carried the team. Not one game in his career he carried the warriors to victory 🤣
*Joker* said *F U* all for saying I didn't deserve that MVP. Everybody wanted to Blame Rudy when Joker was just that Good. It's like telling Shaq to shut Down MJ but blame Shaq for not being able to guard the man 😂. Shaq needs to apologize.
The MVP is cooking the DPOY and Shaq has nothing to say except "Ant Man needs help" from the Joker. Shaq checkmated by the Serbian so perfectly makes me think he really is a genius. It's a work of art
I refuse to lose this ! TNT please fight for this! This the best authentic show in sports! If this is gone my joy and excitement for the game is truly gone
I was of the same opinion 12 months ago. But since Barkley went woke politics and Shaq showed his racist insecure personality, maybe it’s time this show was put to rest.
Haven’t forgotten. The shows been amazing. But all good things come to an end. Every quality TV show goes past its expiry date and becomes old. Inside the NBA is starting to feel that way. I mean, how many years do you think EJ has left in him? Chucks already expressed he wants to retire. It’s wrapping up. Just unfortunate the end is being hastened by some unsavoury moments by the crew. Kenny walking off the set after the George Floyd stuff. Chuck going Democrat cheerleader. Shaq showing his racist side hating on Nash and now Jokic.
@@gdmclean I mean Shaq has hated on Dwight and Rudy as well. Sure, Shaq has his insecurities and feels threatened by Jokic potentially overtaking him. I even get his frustration regarding the MVP voting to a point. One big argument for Nash winning MVP twice was always, that he secured the Suns the 1st seat, now in recent years getting 1st seat hasn't been that important for MVP results anymore, so they somewhat changed the criteria. Nevertheless venting his frustration during the Jokic interview was definitely not a classy move, Jokic deserved better than that and I hope Shaq apologizes for that at some point. Chuck is a free person in a free country, he should be allowed to voice his political opinions and I don't feel he overdoes it during sports broadcasts. Maybe Kenny walking out of the broadcast was a bit performative, I guess you could accuse him of virtue signaling, otoh incidents like the George Floyd killing surely trigger a trauma in the black community, police brutality is a serious issue and has been throughout history, try to see it from their side as well.
When leading 3-0, and the opposing team came back and won 4-3 is also a sweep. It is called a BABY SWEEP. It has never happened though, but there's always a first time.
KAT is never going to have that dawg in him to say he will guard the Joker, no way. He's just hoping tomorrow will be the end so he can go back home and play online for the next 3 months.
It's not about "having that dawg", this is not anime. KAT does not have the defensive ability to guard Jokic. No one will allow KAT to do solo defending of Joker anyway. I repeat, that's not anime. Basketball is played for real by 15-20 people and coached by a few more.
Shaq is really jealous of the Joker. This is the guy that always talk about a champion’s mentality and experience. He still has Minnesota winning this series? And to top it off, he expects KAT to step up and clamp Jokic? It’s just obvious he wants Jokic and the Nuggets out. If Jokic leads the Nuggets to a back to back championship and wins a finals MVP, he would definitely be put above Hakeem as one of the top Centers ever. I bet Shaq will cheer for Boston in the finals against Denver.
Jokic is the most skilled center since Hakeem and if he wins another chip, he is over there with him. Dude is like Larry Bird and Tim Duncan had a baby
KAT: I want to guard the Joker. Denver: AG brings the ball up, and forces KAT/Rudy into a 5-4 screen. I don't think people understand how difficult it is to defend a 280# point guard running pick and rolls (and inverted) with almost every other player on the court.
They might have already paid him, and under contract to do certain number of episodes for them. I don’t watch DG podcast anymore, but he’s got better takes sometimes than big perk from the clown show.
shaq wanting to discredit jokic so bad, he cocked every center in the league, the unibrown, adebayo, ayton, it's not gobert's fault, he's too good but his inescure and fragile ego wouldn't let him accept it.
@@anitelufalemei4200 dude there's no one putting joker ahead of Shaq yet and I can tell both of you are young and never watched Shaq. One championship is not enough.
I believe Jokic is going to detonate a nuclear bomb in game 6. He's smart enough to know that Gobert and Towns are going to try to put handcuffs and shackles on him. .So, I'm thinking something like.. 24 points, 18 assists, 15 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks, 100% made free throws, 1 or 2 three-pointers.
