Nikola Jokic & Jalen Brunson Have Historically Great Performances & MORE | The Hoop Collective 

Jalen brunson is like Allen iverson skills with Chauncey billups leadership. He's been a champion at every level basketball, High School, Mr Illinois basketball. Took USA u-18 to a gold medal. College 2 time national champion with Villanova. Dragged mavs with no Luka to the WCF, then now has turned the knicks into a team that are 1 game away from the same feat. He'll be a champion at the professional level too, maybe not this year but definitely in his career. 💯 🏀 👑

This 4 year peak is as good as youre gonna see. GOAT level offensive production at the highest level

Jokic is cementing himself as a top 15 player all time

Everyone is now a hindsight analyst after Nuggets win 3 straight. Most analysts essentially said the series was over went T-Wolves went up 2:0

Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽

The silence after MacMahon read the first definition of crucible was hilarious. :)

There are only 2 'intros' I dont skip... Bosch and The Hoop Collective

Thank you for talking real talk on the Thunder game! some of the only ones who actually speak on the game and not just Luka being hurt or whatever other bs hating from everyone on the media besides Bryan and few others! Why I listen to yall!

As a Thunder season ticket holder, we know that Giddey needs to be benched lol. Everyone wants that 😂

Best podcast 💯

Can one of you guys ask Hartenstein how he says his name?!

Time for Luka to use his 2 buddies’ performances as inspiration to show out in Game 5 vs OKC

I randomly had a dream that Bontemps got an award at a NBA game, and the entire crowd booed him while he was walking to center court to receive it.

Always look forward to it

Brooooo rest up geeezzz

Jokic and the nuggets were actively targeting Gobert, the DPOY. They wanted him on the court and gaurding jokic. Idk how many times this has happened in the NBA where the DPOY is being absolutely cooked like this

Wemby already is probably the best defender of Jokic but Jokic still gets his against him lol

39:39 I’m getting real scary campfire story vibes from McMahon.

Hahahaaha Tim MacMahon is funny as hell ;D the jokes about Mat Ishbiathe Suns owner lol 🤣🤣

Best comedy show ever 🥳

Love the podcast. Polite suggestion. Please stop saying ‘curb stomped’.

3:39 Drayclown on tnt: i disagree 😂

I want to be flown all over America and stay in hotels too Brian Windhorst, let me be your apprentice or something dammit. I already tell everyone irl at work you are the smartest person on espn and continually destroy everyone on your panels

Once the Deuce got Loose, the Pacers are Caboose

You guys don't think Embiid has given trouble to Jokic in the past (defensively), or Wemby in that last game blocked him a couple of times and won a game the Nuggets were actually trying to win. Otherwise, no one can guard him. He is 1 of 1, undisputed best player in the league.

The Thunder are a legitimate contender?! Bontemps is crazy 😂😂😂

Celtic fans do not care about who is in front of them. All they can do is beat who is in front of them. Quit complaining about Boston whipping these teams! They're supposed to.

CSI Windy, whats on the bottle?

Brian looks sleepy lol

Windy losing weight. Pretty good.

Jokic does back-scratchers in game?? Mike Malone must have turned up his vertical from 27 to 47 lol

U all must admit he's destroying nba for 4 straight years and he's best in the world for 4 years. He top 10 already. U all must admit it and u all gonna fill so much better i promise you! 🙌💥😉🤫

As OKC physically and mentally mature, they'll overtake the Nuggets. They are so young. They have the right coach to develope talent, playing at least 10 guys in the regular season rotation. Presti has used Sam Hinkie's formula, minus chronic injuries to the best player.

What is the point in having RUDY in the playoffs??? I get JOKIC is the best but at this point Rudy is a liability. These guys are handing the 4 TIME DEFENSIVE PLAYER of the year a PASS?????

Let's stop saying curb stomp, it's truly disturbing imagery

I CAN WATCH NBA PODCASTS AGAIN!!!

3-3

benching giddey was a mistake bontemps

Tim Bontemps the coach. 😂

Mike Conley has an Achilles injury? That suuuuux. He’s 80% of Minnesota’s IQ.

Shaq is the laziest top 15 player in his sport of all time. Shaq was not a skilled basketball player. He just gained a bunch of weight at nearly 400 POUNDS and became an immovable object and probably 24-28% body fat. This means he was very chubby/nearly obese. He had two post moves and that was it. He didn’t learn how to shoot anything, had a ton of help in his career from First Team NBA stars, and his coaches were all aware of his hypersensitive. He is still a top 4 center in NBA history. Duncan played more C than PF so you can say top 5 at his position.

Jokic dominating the league just proved American players are no longer the best players in the world. İnternational players are going to dominate NBA few years from now

I want to know who it is that has invaded Kyrie Irving's body? Defense first, just fitting in and doing the little things to win? Kevin Durant put out an APB for his friend, Kyrie Irving.

Dallas swept the Lakers in 2011 when they were the defending champs...

Nuggets Should Advance but it’s Still going 7 OKC wins tonight also but Mavs win 7 Cavs playoffs over Mitchell should wanna be traded if cabs don’t get help Knicks gone win in 7 pacers trash on the road great at home

Give me a nuggets-Knicks finals. Knicks are the only team that can give Denver a fight.

By the way………….

Joker is an all timer on one side of the ball but im curious why every team in the league doesnt hunt s him on defense on EVERY single possession, at worst you get a good shot in an iso and the best case scenario you get him in foul trouble an get him off the floor

Darius Garland is just too small to be paired with Donovan Mitchell in today's NBA. Length, length and length. If you don't have it, you better be Steph Curry.

This clearly show how Denver took all the energy from BW😂🤣😂 He seems tired talking about how denver is beating the wolves..

Nuggets smoked Minnesota 420

You guys go so easy on Tyrese haliburton he played bad in game 1 and game 5 these are soft takes

When did the nba start allowing you to switch pivot foots without it being called ?? Joker’s a beast but he was doing it all night.

Re: Jokic - SHAQ would eat his breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I will respectfully disagree with "there isn't a person alive that can guard Jokic when he is cooking". Giannis, AD, and Embiid can, and you will soon see Jaren Jackson Jr in Memphis, Wemby in San Antonio, and Jalen Duran in Detroit be valid candidates in the future. In the case of the young talent referenced, they will get seasoned with experience, get physically stronger, and be even more effective than they are today. Don't look at Gobert looking like a "two left feet dancer" on the perimeter when guarding Jokic, he clearly doesn't use his feet properly when asked to defend like a guard. Even in the low post defence he lets Jokic get around him on the baseline and under the hoop, thus negating his height. If Gobert were smart, he'd be cutting him off at the baseline and forcing him into the middle so a perimeter player would collapse/double, or have the weak side 7 footer come for assistance on a block. Worse case scenario, Jokic pulls up for a fade away jumper on the baseline, and should be make it, hats off to him. The minute Gobert allows Joker to straddle and dribble along the baseline, it is over because the defense is now broken. ....but that is a coaching issue. And it stupefying to see such poor defensive strategy (baseline protection) on an NBA/Professional team.
