NBA Legends Explain Why It’s So Hard To Guard Nikola Jokic At 29 

Class

That man this young with so much success says that...speaks volumes. If he stays healthy we are watching GOAT

HEY NOW, IN MY CHURCH LEAGUE FOR 10-12 YER OLDS, I LED MY TEAM TO A CHAMPIONSHIP, WAS #2 IN THE LEAGUE IN SCORING, #1 IN REBOUNDS AND THE ONLY KID WITH A BLOCKED SHOT. YOU NEVER EVEN MADE IT IN MY CHURCH LEAGUE. SO WHAT HAVE I GOT THAT YOU AIN'T GOT? yeah, and i got zero votes for mvp. STAY HUMBLE. YOU MAY WIND UP THE GOAT. YOU WON 4 MVPS IN 3 YEARS. THAT'S A FIRST. BUT AS MUCH AS YOU DO ON COURT, IT'S AS MUCH WHAT YOU DO OFF COURT THAT MAKE YOU MY FAVORITE. FAMILY IS ABOVE B BALL. YOU'RE NOT A SHOW OFF, YOUR GAME SPEAKS FOR IT'S SELF. I'M NOT HERE TO PLEASE. I SHARE THIS TRUTH. NO DOUBT THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING YOU WILL EVER HEAR. BE COOL AND BE BLESSED. PEACE. I am writing to share the most incredible thing you will likely ever hear, and it has everything to do with your position if you will follow it. First, it is impossible that anything you can touch, taste, hear, see or smell on the face of the earth, be it lighting, tornados, rocks, life, minerals from salt to plutonium or anything that can be with the powerful telescope we have in orbit and beyond what we can see, that could possibly exist without having been created. Because of this, we can be sure that everything that is had to be made where there was absolutely nothing to make it out of. I call it atheism's last stand. Romans 1:20 New International For since creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. So you see, there is a God. I myself have studied world religions in depth in college and much more so on my own time. I have found that the only religion that holds water is Christianity. I am no affiliate of any Christian denomination as they are called because the enemy has a very well received counterfeit in place in nearly all of them, and the condition is terminal. I am Messianic, where I find Truth to be most rightly applied and followed. The bill of rights we share is such a blessing. But I will quote TobyMcKeehan with Times are changing/With morals in decay/Human rights have made the wrong okay. I am only showing you the way as I have found it through much study and life experience. Perhaps my best case for Truth of this is found in the book of Habakkuk 1-2:17 where he was given a vision of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Some very strong and interesting proof is in the discovery of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is in these videos. Pt. 1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0QsgY115EFc.html Pt. 2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8plh4NMoQs8.html And here is where the remains of pharaoh's army is found in the red sea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X3NuAkXUwu0.html Gnesis 19:24 New International Version Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens. Brimstone found there is over 95 percent pure. The purest sulfur anywhere else is just over 45% and is found near active geothermal regions. Brimstone such as is found near these two infamous cities is found nowhere else on earth. Yet here it is still, a God-given supernatural element to warn those who would live against Him. 2 Peter 2:6 If He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly; He is love or He wouldn't have warned us.After much consideration I found truth best taught and followed as a Messianic. Here are two of the videos I found on this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DBSIs2bHi5g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0QsgY115EFc.html&t=2s THESE 2 VIDEOS ARE UNDENIABLE PROOF OF NOAH'S ARK AND SODOM AND GOMORRAH. IT WAS SOUND AND THE DIMENSIONS AND MEASUREMENTS MATCH THE BIBLICAL RECORD EXACTLY. WHAT THEY FIRST SAW LOOKED TO BE AN OUTLINE OF A SHIP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ARARAT WHERE THE BIBLE SAID THE ARK SETTLED. IT WAS MOSTLY PETRIFIED WOOD WITH LINES OF METAL RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE ARK REMAINS EVENLY SPACED ACROSS. THIS MEDAL WAS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE THE ARK. THE ALSO FOUND PETRIFIED ANIMAL DROPPINGS AND WHAT LOOK TO BE RIB TIMBERS USED IN CONSTRUCTION. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oQwfU7DvUyE.html BELOW ARE THE ACTUAL REMAINS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH'S ASHEN REMAINS. MILLIONS OF PIECES OF BRIMSTONE WAS FOUND IN THE AREA OF THE CITIES, BUT NONE IN BETWEEN THEM. BRIMSTONE MEANS SULFUR. THIS SULFUR IS 98% PURE. THE PUREST SULFUR FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH IS A MAZIMUM 40% PURE. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GhTjEbNgTQM.html

Such an incredible note to end that on. What a fucking dude, man.

​@@thehun24💯

I made my 2k24 build with Jokic in mind. Got a big that can drop 30pt TD’s in the Rec.

thats amazing

good to hear, maybe basketball can return

Yes yes yes …

That's real bball. 3 pt shooting is just for lazy ass.

And with that they are basically saying that the level of NBA players is the worst ever.

That just means people who dont know basketball should not be on podcasts and tvs​@@kimmomatikainen1843

​@@kimmomatikainen1843Nikola Jokić je na nivou savršenog kompjutora.Niko mu na svijetu po umjeću i inteligenciji košarkaške igre nije ravan.On je savršenstvo košarkaške igre! Ko govori drugačije nema pojma o tom sportu!!!

What's worse it's especially the dudes who've never played the game 😂😂 Worst offenders of underrating Jokic 😂

jokic is good at everything

Yeah but Duncan only averaged over 25 ppg once in his career. Jokic has no other all stars and is carrying this team on his back. Duncan had a great team around him most of his career. He's still a top PF bit he had way more help.

@@quiveringmoist7558 Bro .... Timmy was playing in the worst pace era.... teams weren t averaging 100 pts a game ! And he was the best defensive player of the league ! Please ...

@@rossi1232timmy was a monster. Straight up an all time great. And often played the 5 spot slightly undersized too.

It's not about being "delusional". There are basketball purists, i call them "GMs" - and there are spectators. If I would want to assemble a team that WINS as many games as possible, I'd take prime Curry, Jordan, Durant, Duncan and Olajuwon. If I wanna see the most amazing basketball game, I'd select prime Iverson, Jordan, James or Wilkins, Kemp or Griffin, and O'Neal. You don't have to select the same guys, but you know what I mean. Duncan (Jokic, Stockton...) are not underrated. There are just not THAT much fun to watch, for spectators. I'm pretty much in the middle, as someone who has played for 20 years. I love players with fundamentals, and I LOVE a guy who can pass. But I still love to watch someone like Morant or Kemp, too. 🙂 To me, there are only a few you have both qualities maxed out. That's why Jordan is in both teams.

​@@Zett76 where is Kobe ?!

For real. What a hater

The worst Jokic game is highlight of Gilbert :"D

He’s mad that the game has changed to a euro style. It no longer favors athleticism exclusively. Its now all about fundamentals and knowledge. And on average, young black athletes have weak fundamentals and knowledge. But amazing God giving talent. And that gap is closing. Ive seen a lot of black ballers salty the game is changing.

@@stevobraden6205 I agree. It is not enough anymore to jump high and run fast which is the specialty of most black players.

@@stevobraden6205 It's never been about that, and European style is not non-athletic, it's just more team focused. In the end it's still about athleticism, if you go eat donuts and don't work out you'll lose, you have to have a base athleticism and Jokic has the athleticism that matters, i.e. height, stamina, hand-eye coordination, accurate intuition, etc. Jumping high is cute but it has never been what won an NBA championship in any era. He's compared to Larry Bird for good reason and Larry is a multi-time champion against some of the strongest competition the league has ever had to offer.

Different breed from these dudes now. I do think the league is starting to get it's competitive fire back Tho. Bron set a weak ass culture with teaming up with other stars in your prime - dudes like Jokic, Giannis, and maybe even Embiid (as long as he doesn't move) Curry, etc didn't just leave their team when it got hard. Kd and Bron set a weak standard.

@@daddyfuse50i mean i'm not a Bron fan by any means but it's not the same, luck is a part of basketball although it is true that you make your own luck you have to have it, Curry was lucky enough to have been drafted into a tema with a great front office that got him the help he needed, the same with MJ and Jokic and all the superstars that had imense success. I agree that KD got that help and he was weak but Lebron wasn't getting that help, the Cavs didn't get him the help he needed, that's probably in some part due to the fact that he kept trying to play gm specially late in his career but the man had it hard

When Magic Johnson and his Lakers failed to make the finals in 1986 he did walk up to Larry Bird and say something like, “I sure wish I was here playing against you“ and Larry bird’s reply was something like, “I don’t“ Knowing Magic Johnson was perfectly deadly running that fast break

He's not that crazy to be honest. Given the trend that everyone is purely ADHD these days, consistency, family values etc. aren't that "exciting" for most anymore, sadly.

I’m sayin

Him and nick

Well go back and check why his NBA career was over. He was not known as someone who has a brain.

Gilbert is right.

@@yrubla no he isn’t, he is wrong on pretty much most of his takes, he was dumb when he played snd even dumber now. Just blurts shit out without thinking…..there is something fundamentally wrong with your idea of what basketball is as a sport if you think jokic is boring to watch…..if you think James “dribble dribble…dribble dribble…lean into contact for foul” Harden is exciting, there is something fundamentally wrong with your perspective….or if you would rather watch Lebron flop around…i dunno, jokic is Bird and Duncan combined.

Facts

And then he proceeds to score 30 pts in a single game lmao

Either you are born with IQ or you are not.

You may say that they engineered a great basketball player/human

What's crazy is his brothers dumb as rocks 😂 He stole all the brains

​@@LeviReed-nz6wz 🤣🤣🤣

Same.

No one in hole Europe and Africa knows who' the Guy Gilbert is 🤔🤔🤔...

@@mrstillhungry nah we know him for he brought a gun in the locker room... And that's all.

​@@aubinaps1427read up on this. He showed the other guy 4 unloaded guns and told him to pick one for a duel, then the other guy just drew his own loaded gun. Gilbert is a wangster.

Gil's the guy who brought a gun into an NBA locker room and that's all he should be remembered for.

@@delugesofgrandeurscored 60 on Kobe? Nah. How about he made 3 straight All- Star games and 2 straight All-NBA teams no. Yeah. I get it fans have short memories. Don’t have to like him, but also don’t reduce what the man did and define it with one incident. The man averaged nearly 21ppg in the lowest scoring era in the leagues history. Injuries robbed him of a possible great career. Gilbert for 3 seasons was elite. Before the injuries. With that said he gives awful takes, many of them. Not just Jokic and Euros, but many other players both past and present. In general, fans are rude , who the hell are you? What did you do in the sport of basketball to offer and criticism for a former player. It’s fine to criticize his absurd takes. But be mature and don’t make as hominem attacks.

you only need to compliment bro once, why u giving the man sloppy? actually nvm it's probably for more interaction, youtube has become so gay

He is like a giant John Stockton. Makes the correct decision 95 percent of the time. Not soft. Gets everything outta his team mates. Keeps everyone down to earth around him.

This comment is what may hurt his ego the most ngl, everything else just gives him recognition

For real. I dont know him before but because of what he said, i known him

The ironic part is his narrative about himself is that he was an underdog and underrated, when the reality is it was his offcourt issues that had him playing off the bench. Meanwhile Jokic was an actual underdog that has proven he could elevate himself to the very very top

@@madtonesbr not just himself, but his whole supporting cast. Just amazing!

Sounding like an idiotic clown does give visibility. Any visibility is good, right?

His name is Joel embiid

The NBA was more watchable before the game became soft and an outside shooting fest.

@@sportsfanivosevic9885 Its kinda sad, we who passionately love for Good Match always got sidetracked because NBA is business. Jokic is Generational Talent, it has nothing to do with his skin or where he came from. He just a fkin Legend in the making, but god they think Embidd even compare to this Jokic is insane. While Embidd can play good for himself, his team always choke since he isnt good leader. Jokic is a good leader, a good man. Its Kid blessing to watch Jokic, even more than the other guy. Heck, just look how toxic Jordan is.

And not a single one of them has the answer, and probably never will.

But instead, we had Ostertag. Stockton, Hornacek, Russell, Malone, and then ...this guy

it cant be.. nicolai is just a baby jokic that time.

Bro…. It ain’t that deep but jokic is indeed him

U kind fat shamed jokic by saying he has an orbit lol

@@tu9656 haha

Gilbert is a joke and just likes to be provocative and say crazy shit. He was all flash and no substance, Jokic is no flash and all substance.

but he doesn't stat pad so probably never :(

I would 100% take Nicola over MJ in a mock draft of all players. MJ is #2.

It’s too early to say that. Don’t evaluate GOAT til their career is nearing an end or over.

@@chuckturdburger4612dumbest take ever 😂 he may be the future GOAT but you can’t give someone with one ring at 29 GOAT status over MJ. That’s not even a bad opinion, that’s plain recency bias and factually wrong lol

@@albuquerquehotspot7835 MJ is an over hyped N and served his purpose as a social project by his WEJ - (read from behind) masters. Jokić is way more skilful and talented than MJ!

Growin Up in serbia in the 90's was Not funny with all the wars in Serbia at this time.

@DoNotReanimate exactly my point. When you don't have an easy life you understand what really matters.

Nah he’s getting the same treatment as Duncan

He's making the face of the league look silly 😂

He’s just not athletic. It’s not a racial thing. Posterizing dunks and anklebreaking crossovers are what draw people who don’t watch basketball to watch. Jokic does neither and yet he’s still dominating. That’s why.

The quite part out loud.

This meatglazing is reaching unacceptable levels
