Nikola Jokic just broke the NBA's best defense 

Nightmare matchup for the defense. Too fast for their bigs and too strong for their front court guys.

He transforms into a lesser Jokic.

Joker is Rubbing too much on Him the he himself is a mini Joker now😂

​@@Interstice1994the whole team is learning how to pass like Jokic. I haven't seen a bad Nuggets pass in either of these last two games!

I think aaron gordon being the main pg compliments jamal murray more. Not jokic. Murray was high pressed in halfcourt. Aaron gordon alleviates it.

HAHAHAHAA WTF

No no, he plays Urgot top :)

I dont get that joke because I'm not a kid.

​@@Bluebirdfallingokay Boomer, now take your meds and get some sleep.

he plays his horses in his head while the rest of the league plays checkers. But it doesn’t matter. He still beats everybody.

Wolves got crushed mentally and outplayed tactically. Now they have to pray they don't lose 4 straight games. Ant will keep scoring 35+ pts each game but that's about it. Wolves are done.

@@nor-in5kj it's how the wolves are constructed that's the problem. It's not a sophisticated offense like the Nuggets. Nuggets at all times have a 2 man game 2 shooters and someone in the dunker position. It's always pick your poison. Overcommit to Jokic, he'll pass it to a perimeter shooter, handoff to Murray or dish it to Gordon. Jump at the fake pass from Jokic and he'll hit you with an automatic floater or baby hook. Absolutely surgical.

On top of that, they played much better defense overall in games 3 and 4 as well. And they're running the floor. And Murray isn't carrying the ball to start the offense all the time. Their adjustments have been fantastic

just imagine if jokic had the physical and genetic gifts of a lebron james of the speed and quickness of a shaq. with his skills and intelligence/“basketball iq”, he would be unstoppable. His skills are so incredible if he had the athletic gifts he would be the greatest player of all time in 5 years no question whatsoever. But he may still be able to do that but it’s not likely. Not with Wemby coming along and 110% becoming exactly what i just described. If he can get real strong and get there fast.

Jokic is DE Best Center I Evar cee.i wesh ham lak oloways.My Gad hi is Gut.day put 2. 3 Gays an ham And open Spes so Sam wane get DE bool and Skor.

live? lucky dude... I'm planning on taking a week off work and travelling 3000 miles to watch him play.

@@Doc_Holliday11it’ll be worth it. That sounds awesome!

This shows why Larry Bird IQ > Michael Jordan athleticism

@@nor-in5kj lol ok lil bro

@@walkerscoral Lol MJ never beat Larry Bird lil bro Lil bro knows this known lil FACTS right? 😂 That's Jokic team > Ant team The similarity is obvious

​@@nor-in5kjthat's 1 thing bothering me about MJ's greatness. People seem to ignore that both Larry and Magic had to retire early. And Larry's back was messed up a couple of years before he retired. Magic Johnson for example was only 32 when he retired. You mean to tell me Magic couldn't have got another one. It's Magic Johnson and the Lakers. I am pretty sure he could have brought some legit player to the Lakers to play with him.

Even teams that want to play this style of basketball, they can't, because they don't have such a good player like Jokic.

When the switch is flipped in the playoffs, they're unstoppable.

The only Tv media I watch is NBA on TNT and that is for the comedy. ESPN is absolute garbage. For analysis I always come to channels like these.

They’ve been able to utilize this before. Look at the finals last year Miami had nowhere near enough size for Jokic, Gordon, and the 6’11” Porter. Gordon ended up being the biggest beneficiary of this and completely embarrassed and punished the much smaller Heat. Super awesome. There’s no championship in Denver without AG

@@jacebaldwin1079 Jokic says Gordon "is the soul of our team"

Refs allowed fouling

Stop crying

@@Vikings-zr6dr stop snitching

Yes they were

​@@Vikings-zr6dr Stop cheating

and people still say his game is boring

No one 👍

He is he just chose to be a role player he was always like this during his orlando days

If you're asking, does he know to hit 3s he does. This season he hits more than 50% from left spot

WAW! ​@@jovanmrgodic4108

He was a star in Orlando. In the nuggets he usually rises up to star level when the team struggles. He is like a hidden weapon

He’s a 4th option he’s rarely going to go for 20+ let alone 30+ or get close to it But he’s easily the best “4th option” in the league. He does it all and when he scores it’s a bonus it’s not NEEDED from Denver

👍👍👍

They are I mean has any other team been able to stop Denver?

Maybe Denver’s offense is really good

Don't act like this offense doesn't have a chance against the Bulls. Jokic is smart enough to recognize that Rodman can slow or even clamp him down in the post. They're definitely gonna be more active and do the pick and roll which is just hard to guard because of how well the Nuggets work together. Again, not saying they beat the Bulls (like come on Michael Jordan is in that team), I'm simply saying this offense can hold up against even physical defenses like the Bulls.

@@resurrectedpa Oh yeah even ironically this Wolves team is built similar to those Bulls teams and even they are having hard time stopping them ANT as MJ, Jaden as Pippen, NAW as Ron harper, with Rudy, KAT and Naz playing the Kukoc, Longley and Rodman role, same formula.

@@KxngAntTae the main difference in that comp is experience and age mostly ngl.

Denver 1 and 2nd game is clearly on the cloud. Their play is so lazy but the amount of Foul not called is beyond insane. Laker like got the spoon for that and minesota got Golden Spoon of FT/ball. Its crazy.

Gobert is not that good a defender but one must remember the NBA has done everything short of outlawing defense at this point. I am not sure in this version of the NBA a team made up of 1995 Jordan, Pippen and Olajuwon could hold the Nuggets under 120 points. The final score of that game would be 155-150.

@@michaelbuto305 The first two games were officiated like it was 1998. The last three have been officiated in the more current style. And in the current style there is no way to stop a player like Jokic.

3 > 2 so I'd say Warriors offense with a young Klay and Steph. Denver has enough length to bother them though so on the defensive end I'd say the Nuggets are better. It'll be a close series depending on who the Commish decides will win.

The bigger one will win. Current NBA favors Big Guy but also limit them to not be Shaq-like gameplay. Warriors is good but you cant deny they lack Big..

In games 1 and 2 the Wolves were allowed to foul a lot without anything being called. In the last three games the officiating was more in the modern mold the NBA wants to see. Call fouls on almost anything, provide more freedom to move, which means the Nuggets will dominate.

You argument for him not being the strongest player is that he's the same weight as zion despite having less muscle, when neither weighing more nor having more muscle equal to being stronger. Jokic can back down anyone in the league with ease including zion which makes him one of the strongest if not the strongest as no one is able to stop him from getting close to the paint with a couple of shoulder bumps and hand swipes. He also never said that Jokic is the best shooter he said that he has the best paint touch in the league, which is true, and that he's the best post scorer and offensive player which is also true.

@@EthanIzeta I will need to listen again, IF he said those things about shooting he & you are right! Since offense involves much more than shooting..., & he *may* be best in the paint/w/touch-the latter I know he said... He does not back down everyone w/"ease", & I do not even know if he is better than say Embiid in this. However, backing someone down is in some part WEIGHT & using leverage. And just the latter can be decisive: nobody would argue that Ali was as strong as Foreman-but in Zaire he was better than him grappling in the inside because he was a better/wiser user of position. The main thing that is associated, I mean directly causes, not just correlated, with strength is cross-sectional size of muscle. Sometimes advantages in levers/proportions can make someone w/less bulk stronger-but in particular muscle groups only, AND it needs to be in the ballpark in terms of muscle. I would bet my life/wife (which I do not have, lol!), that in the weight room, w/the best measures of overall & compound muscle strength, there are a bunch stronger. Let alone in isolation movements-he has relatively small arms. ALSO Joker has very good endurance & cannot jump over a (choose metaphor here) due to almost certainly having a high proportion of SLOW twitch muscle fibers. Even though his butt/legs cannot be weak-he cannot explode vertically effectively even FOR his weight! Worst ever NBA combine vertical leap! 😏 The opposite of say Shaq who had the vertical leap/what he reached record before-even though even as a "skinny" rookie he was heavier. Fast twitch is absolutely needed to be near #1 in a league w/athletic freaks. Although YES he is strong-& stronger than he looks!

@@QWERTY708100 Just saying I'm happy that Denver is gonna win the series now! The switch up in ref style mid-series has made a huge difference for us, so I'm thanking the league for listening to Denver fanbase.

@@QWERTY708100 MN is too small market and doesn't have a big enough fanbase, so it would be bad for the NBA future if MN wins, too. So they def made the right choice. Plus Denver is just my fav team since they won the ring last year so I want my team to win 🏆
