He’s the greatest floor raiser in NBA history. Nobody is able to raise the floor of a team as much as Jokic. He’s as consistent as a horse. He will get you a minimum of 25/10/5 every single game no matter what. Goat shit
AD's look when the buzzer beater in his face went in says it all: all that can be done in the face of such absurd greatness is smile and shake your head in awe and utter disbelief
Don't want to be all "well akshually" on you but just to be clear, cause the Sombor shuffle is a really fucking weird and cool move, it's when he jumps off the wrong foot, i.e. the right foot. Those two shots over AD weren't that but they're still really cold af for sure.
True, they were all ice cold, step back fallaways. But not Sombor Shuffles. One was off the left foot like Dirk, the other two were off two feet. The Shuffle is when he does a Dirk but off the other foot.
Those were impressive, but just like Jokic, those guys were always called 'boring' by the media and still they are some of the most successful players of all time.
Indeed, and in LBJ case it is total opposite thing, guy chokes in clutch but is goated by nike and NBA to be next MJ aka cash cow for the league, fixing himself to be in best teams yet failed 60% of finals.
@@phil5280 yea but he cried about it a lot. " I dont know what else I should do to get it" other guys have won a couple of them and won nothing, why the pressure should be on me bla bla and he gets it... couple months later Joker is champion and fmvp
I’m a warriors fan and only started watching nuggets to see Lakers get shit on in the conference finals but I quickly became a Jokic and Murray fan. Everytime Jokic has the ball you just know that something special is about to happen
I’ve been a basketball fan since 1965. Never seen anyone with all of his offensive skills. Best touch around the basket along with everything else. And my favorite thing of all is the way he doesn’t show off after making yet another spectacular play. The arena erupts and he just runs down to the other end and plays defense. I’m embarrassed for all of the chest-thumping, yelling, look-at-me egotists I’m forced to see when watching the great game of basketball. This man plays the game straight up and he’s a team player. Thanks for posting a great highlight video.
I was born 1993, I basically said everything you did. You witnessed much more than I, and it makes me happy and proud to read the same thoughts from someone much older than me. Respect and greetings from Serbia!
If he continues on this legendary trajectory, Jokic will finish Top 10 all time, if not Top 5. A 7 foot center who passes like Magic, shoots like Bird, and has the postgame of Hakeem.
Jokic’s peak is pretty much as good as anyone in NBA history, he’s Jordan and Lebron level. If he continues his dominance for 5-7 more years and wins 2-3 more rings, there is zero question. Jokic will be top 5
It's funny how most people try to compare Jokic to some legendary player of the past, yet everyone comes up with a different player. Duncan, Bird, Feet work like Olajawon, shooting like Dirk, etc, etc, but once you become as good as jokic has become... he plays like Jokic... there's no one like him.
Not only did he make Adumb his son, he also exposed LeBum as the greatest CHOKE artist of all time. It was hilarious to watch GOATkic just having fun while toying with the overrated, clown-infested rubbish fakers team.
@@samantharay6098 you do realize youre talking about a #1 draft pick in AD? # 1 in Ayton as well..both who got dominated by a guy who was drafted during a taco bell commercial
Jokic is the reason why I started watching the NBA again. Just because he's putting up numbers I've/we've never seen before. It's not even close. He's by far the best player in the NBA right now and I thought that even before this playoff run. It's shocking that this hasn't been the general census. And those analyst clowns who judge play based almost entirely on rings are just that clowns. Up until this point... it wasn't even possible for Jokic to compete for the championship, because the team was building and last year key guys on the Nuggets were injured. This was the first year that Jokic had a chance to win a ring... and even if the Nuggets came up short in the playoffs.. he would still be the best in the league. It's not even close. Giannis is another excellent player, but Jokic is another degree better, because of his highly versatile game, where he doesn't have any notable holes or bad games for that matter. Defense is probably the weaker part of his game, but that's because everything else is on another level... but it's certainly not a hole in his game or a liability.
it's like god distilled Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon (offensively) and KevinMcHale down into the same player. Amazing. I see Larry most though... off the charts hand-eye coordination and court vision/basketball IQ combined with low athleticism (but great conditioning and a relentless motor). Unicorn, yes, but I also think about that time Magic told Larry, "Larry, you told us a lie. You said there would be another Larry Bird. And there will never, ever, ever be another Larry Bird." Guess Larry was right - kind of.
It's certainly possible. We need to see more, but... After this season he looks like a top 3 all time player in terms of performance, whether you put that 1, 2 or 3.
I love how calm, collected and respectfull he is after some incredible plays. I think he overgrown nickname the joker and deserve something different. Like the master or sensei.
I got to admit, im a suns fan, rooted for lakers and rooted for miami. All these jokic plays are heartbreaking. All those sombor shuffles are daggers and those assists are head scratchers (like how did he found them?!). All amazing.
That play starting at 5:42 vs. the Twolves is so cold. 🥶 He had 2 of their best players jumping into each other for the pump fake, beautifully lays it in, and just smiles after. 😂 not to mention in the clutch too
After curry, jokic is my favorite player, it's impressive to watch him play, it seems to me that he always knows what's going to happen and that he already has a plan in his head
I actually only watched the NBA because of Dennis Schröder. Because I'm from Germany. But after the Lakers played Denver, I wanted to see more of Jokic
It feels great! Honestly! Nuggets deserved it with their hard work! I am super happy for AAron(it feels right that Gordon got NBA ring after he got screwed on 2 dunk competitions), Mr. Green, Murray and Jokic (love him)! Great job!
Jokic’s 2023 playoff run has been more statistically dominant than any Shaq playoff run. He’s scoring and rebounding just as much with higher efficiency and 6 more assist per game, while also leading comfortably in advanced stats.
@@stephenwu1524 Jokic just put up the most dominant playoff run by a center in history of NBA. His performance was more dominant than Shaq's, especially as Jokic shot 47% from 3PT and 80% from free throw, while averaging 30 - 13.5 - 9.5 on 57% - 47% - 80% splits and PER of 32.1 The second highest PER in playoffs was Booker at 28.6.
Shaq is more dominant at scoring and defense but not all around in jokic. In terms of today’s game, you need to be good all around to take a team to a championship. You need one of those guys, so yes, I believe jokic is more dominant.
Infinite admiration to this guy! Not only efficient and a difference maker, but also basketball with high level of beauty and intelligence. I have never seen the same!
Funniest thing about these "Playoff" highlights is that they could have pulled footage from ANY regular season game over the last 5 years! Jokic has been the real deal for YEARS, but he plays on a small market team and doesn't get recognition...which is EXACTLY how he wants it!
Granted he probably needs a few more championships to be considered one of the greatest centers of all time, I certainly think he’s on his way there, Go big Jok!
The whole momentum shifted in that play & reaction of the whole team! They got their 1st lead of the game & were deadly after that! Even the refs couldn't stop them!
Good, I love how jokic is exposing the modern nba for the travesty of gameplay it has become. Bring back the inside outside game with proper floor spacing, passing and shot selection.
His "Sombor Shuffle" 3-pointer at 0:52 was incredible and what made it even more special was the reaction of awe from the Lakers crowd. They've seen some pretty special things in that arena over the years and that shot is up there with them.
