The Jokic Takeover! NUGGETS vs. WOLVES Game 5 LIVE Reaction | Richard Jefferson and JJ Redick 

Richard Jeffries was a complete prick a few times. A cap is unprofessional on a podcast? Lol Amd you were literally talking to one of the best catch and shoot players of this era.amd “you can’t think of another one” when your looking at him?! Cmon Richard. Your a little jealous I’d say

Mad 😡 dog told screaming Stephen a Smith !!! I don't want to hear anymore about Jordan son. Stop it l don't want to hear it hahaha 😊😊😊😊😊

jj needs more media training, when you are trying not to curse and still curse it means you lack control of your words. dude use different words like "snikes" "Shukabitavi" make something up but 40 years old and can't watch your mouth is an issue.

Mad Dog is a moron. MJ is the GOAT. It is crystal clear. What’s crazy is people trying to promote someone with 2 less titles and several less basketball awards over him cause he is Playing longer. Anyone disrespecting the MJ era of basketball just do t know. That includes JJ. Yea they have a lot of good players now. But Inserting todays players in that type of physical game would not be good. Same with bringing one of them here. We should just respect both eras and all the greats for what each of them did. Lebrons been amazing too

@@davidbaggs2273 I'm pretty sure RJ was clowning on the hat.

blks say rudy is bad because they dont want to admit how good jokic is. constant tactic. they focus on how bad the team is that play nuggets. if its lakers they focus on how great lebron is or wolves antman.

@@user-cd4rv7mo6r ah yes because as we all know all black people are represented by Kendrick Perkins and Shaq 🙄

@@dilwitchspahlin4761 Don't forget SAS never voted Jokic lol

I still think a healthy Giannis is the best player in the world

@@dilwitchspahlin4761Yes and all whites are represented by Bill Simmons. Ryen Russilo represents dads and men ages 32-47 specifically.

Dude, that's what I'm saying constantly, stop copying 😆

@@user-cd4rv7mo6rare you racist or something? Why are u so focused on what black ppl think?

​@user-cd4rv7mo6r I've seen plenty of black people give jokic his flowers, in fact I can only think of Kendrick Perkins and Gil Arenas, both of whom are known to be dumbasses, who've said anything negative about him Dmb take

Jokić basically destroyed the guy who stopped all league

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

RU-vid be showing random comments before u click the comments, this was the 1st comment I saw I'm crying😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao...yess!!!!💀

Crybaby fake mj was trash talking the Nuggets to the media and bro didnt even show up lol. Too small

Naw he probably forgot about it as soon as he thought about his horses 😅

​@StillKeepOnLosing walked off the court saying "see u game 7" after getting locked up by Christian Braun and some light doubles 😂 like gtfoo

He was a second round pick bro😅. Damn

❤

Nuggets have done some weird/amazing things in the past few years. Jokic had 3 different perfect shooting triple double games, and should pass Magic for 3rd on the all time list next year after passing Lebron for 4th this year. Also has I think around 80 "Sombor Triple Doubles" with 9 Assists or 9 Rebounds being just short of a normal triple double, which shows he isn't stat padding like Westbrook did. Nuggets had a game where they put up 98 points in the paint.(also were the only team with a winning record this year when losing the 3 point shooting battle) Murray got his first triple doubles, including the Jokic and Murray 30 point triple doubles in the same game in the finals for the first time in NBA history. Porter and Gordon have both flirted with triple doubles too on a few nights. They came back from 2 different 3-1 series in the bubble, and now a 2-0 going on the road comeback looks likely. So they know how to flip a switch. This team took all the steps and knows each other well, question will become who wants out first because KCP is up for a new deal and someone will likely pay him a lot to be their veteran starter and MPJ is getting into it with Malone over focus during the game so that might not last much longer either.

​​​@@Pickn4Goldmpj and kcp can be switched for other players. What is unique is the chemistry of jokic and Murray and the swiss army knife Aaron freaking Gordon. If they keep these 3 and develop 1 or 2 youngster plus filling with vets that want to give a shot for rings well they have chances to compete each year🎉 for at least another 3-4 years

@@geografia89 curious if we become a destination team for vets finally?

@@Pickn4Gold well it's. Slow process but holiday, deandre,uncle Jeff, Reggie were all vets with some appeal I guess and they signed for little contracts. Imagine for ex Chris Paul that just want a ring "which team ahs the highest odds to win one?"

Im glad TNT kept him off the broadcast. No room for that type of pettyness

to be fair they usually have the B crew there on tuesdays lol...but I agree it was a funny time to not be in studio.

@@umbreonpokemon8190 not during the playoffs

@@mrpillows Charles wasnt there either though. Idk I think you reaching. Shaq is looking foolish but I dont think he ducking the broadcast cuz of it lol

Shaq and chuck weren’t there cuz they tryna negotiate to keep inside the nba on tnt

blks say rudy is bad because they dont want to admit how good jokic is. constant tactic. they focus on how bad the team is that play nuggets. if its lakers they focus on how great lebron is or wolves antman.

They have to find a way to try to discredit Jokic's efforts of offense somehow... right!?

@@user-cd4rv7mo6r calm down on that racist talk like Nick Wright isn't the #1 Jokic hater and disingenuous narrative spinner. It's just people's unwillingness to accept that a lower draft pick who isn't traditionally athletic (hand speed, balance, hand eye coordination, cardio, ambidexterity, touch, length, and a few others qualities are insane for him) can be the best player in the league.

@@jcmaybenotbro nick wright has zero cred as a journalist and sports commentator. His takes are bad, his bets miss, he always loses his train of thought etc.

Did you seriously just use Curry as an example of a good defender

Why else are we here?

@@illrobbzilla Ditto!

What draymond say ??!

Totally different. They knew Joker couldn’t beat them by himself. Gave him single coverage the whole series. Context matters

@@basketballboygenius2034 so he got cooked still?

@@basketballboygenius2034 TWolves weren't really doubling Jokic that much unless he was near the baseline and he was heated up red hot

When Jokić cooked him badly this season, Draymond gave him all the credit for that game and previous games. He manned up and said Jokić was the better man. For a guy with a huge ego, he still knew that was his only option: to come clean.

Joker my Goat but... Too soon homeboy.

SGA is still playing in the playoffs too isn’t he

​@donovanyoung244 I'll call it now, the nuggets will move to finals regardless of who wins the mavs vs okc series

Say that after next round bud. You sound like ant when he said “we want the mavs”

​@@donovanyoung244 yes, is he anywhere near Jokic tho??

💯

That trade for Aaron Gordon should go down as one of the sneakiest and most important fleeces of all time. He elevated our starting 5 from great to damn near perfect

Braun too.

Agree except for the last part. AG is definitely getting known for being a badass, Im hear the recognition from people, it’s so deserved. This nuggets team is so awesome. Jok, Porter, AG, Murray, KCP, working together just a beautiful offense, and then other players like Braun playing a good role as well, it’s so amazing, can’t understand the haters. They couldn’t wait to throw shade they were foaming at the mouth when nuggets lost first 2.

Aaron Gordon is a much better all around player than Horace. Not even close as an on ball defender. And Gordon is more dynamic offensively. Grant was under appreciated because he was simply average.

I think Embiid is probably a better scorer considering how he was rolling earlier this year. The issue is that his passing is nowhere near Jokic's level, so team's can throw more at him without being punished as hard. And you could argue this makes Jokic a better scorer, but in terms of just 1 on 1, I think Embiid is a better scorer. And I am a huge Jokic fan

Embiid is better at getting to the foul line. If Jokic flopped more his scoring average would be 35+

@ichirosuzuki2252 Regular season scoring =/=post season scoring. Embiid has multiple postseason where he looked troubled against Horford....Jokic thoroughly dominates AD, Gobert, Bam, Ayton, Draymond, Looney, and etc. Man coverage or the double. Embiid doesn't have as reliable of a both 3pt and midrange jumpshot come postseason (Jokic is way higher in percentage he hits, and let's not act like Jokic isn't taking tough looks), and Jokic is much better in the post. Embiid does get to the line more, but he has way less counters to what defenses throw at him.

Embiid is always injured too. Joker has incredible endurance. If you are not able to play your star player in the playoffs what's the point.

@ozberkoz well this is a bit unfair to Embiid. That isn't something he can really control. Embiid's bigger problem is he doesn't quite know what to do against guys who are big enough to not just completely get destroyed on post ups (lower center of gravity guys), especially when the double comes. Early on defenders have to get use to his foulbaiting (most great scorers have this in their arsenal) and physicality, but he doesn't have adjustments once he gets adjusted to other than hoping for his jumper to be hot. He doesn't have the ability to scan the floor while attacking at the level other all time great playoff scorers do.

I’ve watched probably 90% of every dribble Jokic has taken in his career. I’ve been screaming into the void for years that this dude was the best player basketball had seen in a long time. I remember there was a time when there was serious debate between him and Nurkic lol. It has made these past two years sooo much fun lol

​@@beanie3427amen!

You and Lisa Salters

He reminds me of a combination of 2017/2018 Horford and 2013/2014 Iguodala. Edit: with a dash of 1994/1995 Horry.

Underrated comment! Great explanention!

Richard Jefferson is a walking cringe. I can't remember one time watching him that he hasn't said or done something awkward.

Hi, if this is the current level you're at, please I invite you to watch norm MacDonald live and On cinema at the cinema to see comedy duos that inspired Richard Jefferson for even more laughs to be had by you

lol he said he couldnt think of any great shooters besides steph curry and it took me an extra second to laugh but it was funny. JJ loves being destroyed by RJ haha

“I can’t think of any other shooters off the top of my head” is so funny

They did the same thing with Bird.

I’m pretty sure he can jump over a dime😜

*vague acqaintance

you mean co-worker at Klutch Sports?

People wake up at like 4am for 15 bucks an hour, god bless you waking up at 6 to talk about basketball Richard Jefferson lmao

​@@israelbarnes4704the difference is he doesn't need to work anymore due his previous career earnings. Those of us up at 4am haven't reached that place and have no choice.

Larry has 3chips. Slow down

He has win 2 more chips

This reminds me more of what Olajuwon did in 1995.

@@nocturne311 exactly this why they say they done with 90s because they getting exposed.

@@basketballboygenius2034 Three chips while going against Moses Malone, Magic, Kareem and Worthy, and then Olajuwon to boot. Butler and Bam aren’t really on that level. Lol. Context matters too.

I think Jamal goes off in game 6. Started building the confidence shooting late in game 5.

Nuggets are pretty good at closing out games when it’s a win or go home situation.Jamal is due a big game.

Can you please stop with the Kareem hook talk? He doesn’t shoot sky hooks and he doesn’t have to.

win chips more maybe you havent seen Hakeem play 90s was full of skilled big men

@@nocturne311 watch the replay. Jokic sky hooked high off the backboard. It was quite an amazing shot.

@@mizzouriv3637 Jokic is in the process of doing that.

@@dusttaker That’s not a sky hook, brother. That was just a high arcing hook off glass. Kareem could shoot the sky hook around the baseline from 15 feet away. I have never seen anyone actually use a sky hook since him. That was a beautiful move by Jokic though.

The things he “did last night”…… whoa….. that’s not appropriate

@@MT-ok9xv no diddy

It's AbSerb.

Answering Shaq last night

@@markopecinovic4475 🤣🤣🤣

@@markopecinovic4475 nice one ..

lol 🙌🏻

my glorious seal, flops like he was born for it

Lol

WTF???

Clap for the injured man for sure.

He is the ultimate shoulda woulda coulda guy

Ikr he played like an MVP 😮

Jokic himself has had better playoff games. I get that he had 0 TOs and 40 pts, but he has done even more.

Lol , nah. Belgrade, Serbia is the center of the universe

how loud was it in there? i wish i went

And we all know that wasn't his MVP trophy. That was Jokic'

Joellen Biid WNBA

And he is right to use the "excuse". Do you think Gary Payton is a bad defender because Jordan torched him? Generational offense beats DPOY.

@@ichirosuzuki2252Jordan didn’t torch Payton during the 1996 Finals. Karl switched Payton on to Jordan starting in game four and Jordan had one of the worst Finals games of his career. Payton continued to guard him and Jordan didn’t have an efficient game in the clincher either. GP was one of the few guys who could legitimately give MJ issues despite what Jordan might have you think in The Last Dance.

Which era would Gobert win defensive player of the year in other than this one?

@@jichaelmorgan3796 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Mutombo, Ben Wallace and Howard all won at least three each during that period. Gobert is a lot like Mutombo.

Lol he is nowhere near mitómano defensively

Mutombo*

@@jichaelmorgan3796 the same year Lebron didnt get is over Marc Gasol 2010's.

I agree to a point, but Gobert is DPOY. I'm not expecting him to completely lock down Jokic, but he's definitely expected to do better

@@erictrujillo2052He did better than everyone else. He was -2 I think he tried his best. Everyone else did a worse job. Just so happens that Jokic was out for blood last night and made it a goal to embarrass the entire Timberwolves team 😭

@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 that's a fair assessment brother, I think Ant Man needs some more criticism as he also didn't really play well, but Gobert is taking most of the heat

@@erictrujillo2052 I agree. I think it should be equal blame. Jaden is pretty much non existent on offense and as good as his defense is it doesn’t much help their issue which is half court offense. KAT played decent last night but I’m tired of him playing like a 2 guard and not a floor stretching PF. Rudy pretty much did the best out of everyone tonight in their big three. Ant is still young. He’ll get better at making the right decisions out of double teams as he gets older. This is an incredibly dominant Nuggets team. All you can do is tip your hat.

Jamal and KCP for Ant- then move Braun into the starting lineup :D

He's the second player, CP3 did it in 2018! Joker still the GOAT tho

@@erictrujillo2052CP3 had 41 & 10. He said 40 & 13. Pretty close though.

@nocturne311 you are correct but the metric is it's at least 40 points! They were saying it in the game last night. Bc technically Chris Paul also had 40, he just surpassed it by 1 point. So he's still the first

He's great in this role and as a player imo he always sticks out to me as being the one player who was so much more impressive to watch in person versus what I knew from watching on TV. I knew he was very good from seeing play on TV but in person he was much more commanding of a player than I assumed.

😜

Statistically? Sure. The best peak ever was definitely 1988-1993 Jordan though. Three MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year award, six scoring titles, three championships in a row and three Finals MVPs. He was also top three in MVP voting all six seasons and top five in Defensive Player of the Year voting five times in six seasons. Last, but not least, PER is a stat that favors big men and yet Jordan had a PER of 31+ for four straight seasons from 1988-1991 while also leading the NBA in WS/48, BPM and VORP.
