Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets have sustained first place for quite a while this season in the Western Conference. Throughout the NBA season, NBA Legends such as Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Shaq and Charles Barkley have had their opinions on the Joker and why he has dominated the league. Jokic has maintained his play and has been noted as the best center in the league with only Joel Embiid at that position to contest that praise.
Watch here: Nikola Jokic Will Win His 3rd Consecutive MVP Award...

Humility...it disarms American players who are so filled with ego. But he is sincere and genuine, that goes a long way in this world today! The fact that he really, truly doesn't care about the MVP makes him the best bet for it. These other guys are amazing (Joel, Giannis, Jayson) but no one makes his team mates better than Jokic. I think he has set his sights on the MVP of the finals!

Jokic is young. He has a long way to go. Let's enjoy this once in a lifetime talent. And for me, he is already "One of the Greatest" ever to play in the NBA. I wish Jokic wins his 3rd MVP and an NBA title! And another one... And another one... And another one....

@hristijandimitrovski8664 Год назад

If that happens like you said, "I want him to win title. And another one, and another one, and another one..." that's extremely hard to do it and I don't know if he will be able to achieve that in this ultra tough era with many incredible teams and many incredible players, the competition is simply crazy and it's not like he has one of the best supporting cast. But if he really wins 3 or 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH THIS NUGGEST TEAM??? Hands down, he would be clearly the greatest center of all time. Yeah, you heard me right. He would pqss Kareem Abdul Jabbar without a doubt as the greatest center who ever played and he would be to me even in discution for greatest player who ever lived possibly passing both MJ and Lebron James.

@LarssonOhman Год назад

I haven't played Basketball, but Handball (Olympic, not American) on the highest youth level in Germany. I can only tell from my anecdotal experience, but ego has no place in these teams. When a point is scored, it is considered a team effort - who ever lands the score, it's for the team. So this idea of 'go give the shot to the person best in place to take it'-mentality was very much baked into us from the get go. Even if we scored a goal and a mate was in a better position, our coach would give us shit.

Jokic is the champion of Mike Malone's teamwork coaching. It's make each other great, collaboration over competition, the team greater than the sum of the players. Jokic's joy is helping his teammates play their best, and they love him for it, and are adopting more of his play-making themselves. He is happier praising them than receiving it. When questioned by a woman interviewing him what stat he took pride in he grudgingly said his assists, and that only to get her off his case! I enjoy all their players.

He's all about the game, loving it. That means he's not selfish in any aspect, he does what need's to be done, posting passing scoring taking a break, whatever, he has the skill to do so, so that his team stays up front. And he's evolving. Although his scoring is less then last seasons, it feels like his impact is stronger. He's peripheral vision and depth perception of the field is just incredible, as well as the awareness of the movement of his mates.(I guess thats what they call IQ). Really Amazing every game. Who the f... cares if his MVP this season or not, Basketball fans are in for a treat every time he's on the court.

@Paladin88 Год назад

Sure, he is a very versatile scorer as witnessed by that buzzer beating one legged three, and always near the top in rebounding. What really impresses is his vision in passing. It's like when a pass comes his way, he somehow has time to look for an open man before catching the pass and quickly dishing a perfect pass. The great players know how to slow the game down and make things happen. Not many holes in his game. His humility makes him easy to root for. Thank you, Serbia.

@mario4fitness Год назад

What a pleasure to watch this remarkable player. Have we seen a player like this? Touch, footwork, vision, IQ. Based on all his abilities, he has to be the best player in the game ATM.

I think it's time we shift the narrative and focus on what truly matters: the opinions of the players themselves. Instead of relying on retired players, fans, and reporters who might have their own biases, let's ask every single player in the NBA if they would like to have Jokic as a teammate. I have a feeling the overwhelming majority would jump at the chance to play alongside such a skilled and versatile player. Jokic's basketball IQ, unselfishness, and ability to elevate his teammates' performances make him a coveted asset on any team. Let's hear from the players who truly understand what it's like to share the court with him.

His humbleness is what is Nikola Jokić's greatest attribute. He doesn't care about winning individual awards. He doesn't care about building a "brand" through social media. He only cares about winning and will do whatever it takes to get it accomplished. With his multitude of abilities that he has and how he's able to integrate them with his teammates, the Denver Nuggets, still being a relatively young team, will be vying for championships for quite some time still.
