@@JamesLuna11-14it is a valid excuse lol cause English is a dumb language. You would think it would be truely but nah the e just disappears for no reason
He know he great but he also know he could of lost the voting easily. he definitely deserve his 1st mvp but the last 2 iffy in my opinion but who am I especially the mvp he was a 6th seed russ already got mvp for avg triple double a 7 footer getting a triple double avg not as impressive as a 6'4 point guard
Not everyone is comfortable showing emotions. I know we gravitate twords the ones that do because it makes feel part of their journey. We feel what they feel and can empathize with them. But he isn't that guy, and that's okay. He is an introvert. That doesn't mean he doesn't care. People have to stop expecting other people to behave in a certain way to meet their expectations of what it should be like
Well deserved. He carried the Nuggets to a borderline 1st place conf position, he also surpassed Jordan recently as the most efficient player of all time (PER).
@@JamesLuna11-14 if he cared he would've lost weight when he was struggling with Dwight. It's too many sign thru out his career that shows he doesn't care. You ever seen him pump up his teammates? Same body language and character win or lose. " I just want to get back to my horses"
To me, Jokic seems like an introvert. Not everyone is comfortable showing emotions. I know we gravitate twords the ones that do because it makes us feel part of their journey. We feel what they feel and can empathize with them. But he isn't that guy, and that's okay. That doesn't mean he doesn't care. People have to stop expecting other people to behave in a certain way to meet their expectations of what it should be like.
I'm sure he would trade the MVP for a game 2 vs Timberwolves. It probably seems crazy to get the MVP right after the game they just had. I think he s still the best player in the world, but Anthony Edwards is coming... Then Victor.
Jokic's achievements ordered by him: Becoming a father Becoming a grandfather Winning the championship Becoming an MVP It speaks volumes about the people hating on Nikola that he doesn't care about the things their hate is focused on. How can you not love this guy?
@@Takes-5-Wolvesone of the games he won was when the nuggets were without Jokic and the other without Murray. When both teams were healthy it was 1-1.
When the Joker is not playing for Denver. We know they will struggle a lot. It makes sense because when he's on the floor they winning that's what an MVP should do.
Joker is the best big in the league and has been for a few years now and the way he played this season was nothing short of greatness. Well deserved as the MVP Good luck to Shai next season or in the coming years his time will eventually come
He's the best European big , don't get it twisted , there's a whole lot of centers better than him ... JOEL EMBIID , ANTHONY DAVIS , KARL ANTHONY TOWNS , ETC......!!!!!!
he is from serbia and they had war until 1992,he was born in 1995 and he has two older brothers!so growing up with the 'smell' of war is something difficult for a child's character,so winning mvp e.t.c when your parents,brothers,relatives have experienced war mentally it gets you..you dont really care for other things except life.
@@harryheart6018 you just proved why you don’t deserve a vote, and why he did not win. Jokić with his first words, called it a team award. You called it an individual award. That’s all anyone needs to know about you - and possibly about Luka - who could not make it work with Porziņģis, or Brunson.
@@only1adonis Calling the MVP award a team award makes just as little sense as calling the DPOTY or ROTY awards team awards. Why even give it to an individual if it is a team award? May I also remind you that the Nuggets were 5th or 6th when Jokic won it the first time? So, I guess he didn't really deserve it then either, since he got beaten in the first round of the playoffs? I remember people calling him "Chokic" back then...
Dude could end up with with 5-6 in 5 more year cause Luka, SGA, and Tatum aren’t gonna be that much better, if at all better than him. But voter fatigue will go into full force after him almost winning 4 straight.
If he wins a ring this year then he could win more mvps. But if he loses voters will be reluctant to give him another one until he wins another ring again.
He just hates the spotlight. That’s why he’d rather not win. Because he won two already. With the nasty mvp narrative from his haters he was just done with being mvp.
See the difference between this and last year when Embid won? When I saw Embid crying over an individual award I knew all I needed to know about his priorities. I knew they'd get whooped in the playoffs last year and this year.
He had a great year that doesn’t matter though, it’s based on performance and impact on the team. As long as this time is successful he will always have a case, because he is majority of the time the sole reason for that success.
30pts, 6as, 6rbs is a great statline. 27pts, 9as, 12rbs is a greater statline. Shai average 9ft a game, jokic avg 6ft a game. their FT difference is the PPG difference.
You people are sick. This is a classy guy. And a deserving MVP. Even if SGA is also deserving. And Luka in third place. With all of the evil people in this world, from racist to pedo to con artist to murderers - why is he a disgrace? You sound like the disgrace.
Luka should’ve won but I wouldn’t have been as bothered even if they gave it to SGA. The panelists and journos that actually vote on MVP are either braindead or are pushing an agenda.

I’m not sure if it’s a language barrier or culture barrier but he needs to put more respect on the NBA and also basketball as a sport in general. This whole him not liking interviews or press or having these conversations…like bro, have some fucking respect on the game that others cry, sweat and bleed for.
Richard it is your culture barrier. He loves and respect the NBA. Never misses games, never misses interviews, no drama, no trouble. He is a gym rat that all the NBA players love and respect because he plays the game with class and teamwork. He is the most efficient (PER) of all time (ALL TIME!). Just because he wants to go home in the summer and train his horses should not offend you. Playing with guns, getting in trouble, sexual assault, and demanding to be traded, while gunning the ball and not passing, no that is offensive. He is the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson of our era. Watch it and marvel at it. He has brought the NBA back to its Golden era.
Bro they rich, they can do more then that, that glaze is cushion for him, this a 9-5 for all of them, it gets to a point with all the injuries what are u even talking about 💋 glazer glazer
@@Sectrix2ppobliterates him? Last I checked he’s been owning Lebron whenever they face each other? He only needs 1 more mvp then he has the same amount of mvps as Lebron in way less time in the leauge.
SGA averaged 30, is the only player in the league averaging 2 steals a game, and is on a #1 seed. Jokic has won it as a 6th and 3rd seed without playing any defense smh and is about to get swept he’s literally had 1 great playoff run
all I gotta say to you is watch nuggets basketball and the effect jokic has when he's on the floor and stats aren't everything and sga had healthy teammates so ur argument is pointless
Lol. The guy already won a ring and his third mvp was stolen last year when the media went on a racist narrative. Jokic is superior in most categories than Sga. The wolves are just peaking at the right time and the thunder will be sent home if they play the wolves.
@@moneyball647 you can’t be racist against YT people stop always playing victim. SGA is first player since Jordan with 30 pts and 2 steals and he’s on the 2nd youngest team in the league. MVP is a regular season award Embiid was better. Jokic doesn’t play defense he’s atrocious that’s half the game. Without Gordon or Murray Jokic goes nowhere whose SGA got?
THE WORST MVP OF THEM ALL IN LEAGUE HISTORY. His game is boring, he plays ABSOLUTELY ZERO Defense and is completely unathletic. It's a shame for the NBA that he won 3X #SMH
This guy should not be the League most valuable player because he's not , and he damn sure ain't the best center of all time like you guys keep trying to push the man could barely jump and he has no athleticism at all 😂😂 ( Great White Hope ) .... The true MVP this year is Shai G Alexander from OKC , he did more for his team and they're the number one seed !!!!!
You should watch a nuggets game some time. The last 6 years he has been the most efficient player in the league, playing point center, averaging a triple double in the playoffs and a championship. He plays with no all stars, never misses games, and has never been in trouble, just goes out and balls. He should have won 4 MVPs and is only 28 years old and did it the hard way as a 2nd round draft choice. SGA will get his MVP once he pays his dues for another year or two. Watch Jokic play for 48 and you will see basketball the way it was meant to be, non Iso, no one on one, just ball movement and fast breaks, John Wooden style!
The real Q if you were there and didn't have manners...Do you feel weird doing this press conference for an mvp after getting your butts banged at home, twice, in the playoffs, on national tv?
You’re bugging lol. Minnesota is about to beat them yeah but that’s a team issue. His first game was good. That would be a great first game for most players. Even with all the pressure they put on em. But it’s a regular season award stop crying.
