Tim Legler Touchscreen: How Nikola Jokic used his passing to win Game 1 vs. Heat | SC with SVP 

Tim Legler is the best analyst on ESPN.. He should have his own show. His breakdown of the game is incredible

This is the only thing worth watching on ESPN, no creating false narratives, just pure basketball knowledge. Go Tim go!

Legler is the most honest and accurate analyst in my opinion.

Tim needs to be like Baldy for NFL Network with his own platform. He’s too good not to have his own gig breaking down film and teaching the game for the casual fan.

One of Jokic’s biggest assets is his patience. He waits for the right moment to do everything. Pass. Shoot. This guy is brilliant on the floor.

Tim Legler Touchscreen is all I need from the ESPN coverage of the NBA!

The Joker is NOT affected in any way by the enviroment around him; he just doesn't care about media, social media, rant, scuffles.... He just plays his way every time

Been waiting for this since the game ended. ESPN give this man his own show!! What are you waiting for Stephen A. To retire??? Haha

Tim legler talks.. I listen.. simple .

Legs the GOAT analyst.

Jokic's awareness in terms of passing, his reads, when to score, indentification of who is hot is legendary and we're seeing it now. His genius is simply--make a mistake, he is going to make you pay. Heat in trouble.

Man this breakdown of plays is so amazing.

Jokic,a basketball genius he will pass ball at the right time at the right place.perfect timing

I dont care what anyone says... the sole fact that we get to see Jokic do this on the biggest stage will make this an amazing finals for the books

I know a lot of people watching and in the comments have never seen the Nuggets but this is how we play always. Anyone who knows anything about basketball appreciates the beauty in Nuggets basketball

Kendrick Perkins is a former centre that spent 15 years in the NBA, has been paid to watch Jokic for years and came to the conclusion that Jokic is a stat-padder that didn't deserve his MVPs. Goes to show that just because you played in the NBA, that doesn't qualify you to have actual basketball IQ to shared on national TV.

Jokic inspires the players around him to become loads better. Brilliant baller, playmaker, shot maker, defender

Jokic is an elite-level playmaker

Embiid should return the MVP award.

Nikola Jokic Is Really A Genius When It Comes To Passing No Question!!!!!! Tim Legler Once Again Broke It Down Perfectly!!

Jokic is amazing

Ridiculous box score. Chef Jokic didn’t break a sweat.

ESPN for the first time ever: Wow this Jokic guy sure can play

Jokic did what he was supposed to do as the center early in the game. He rebounded, got everyone else involved with his passing and protected the basket. He then provided points as needed down the stretch, while staying out of the way of his play makers throughout the entire game.He knows he's not a guard and doesn't clog the lanes that they use or occupy the space that they need to make plays! Take notes Embid!"

I was extremely happy for Gainnis now its Joker turn. Im a huge Football fan but the last few years watching Basketball im enjoying more

Jokic hoisting that fmvp as early as next week he’s without question the best player in the world

Basketball analysis on TV, this is great. Thank you.

I think once this series is wrapped up, the way Jokic was covered prior to this playoffs, once he hoists that finals mvp trophy, I don’t think the media is ready for the Jokic best player narrative

Legler needs his own simulcast. I might actually watch his over the game broadcast. Or I might spend the time to watch a 2nd time, with my son, whose learning the game. Give Legler more platform, please.

Dream duo would be Reddick and Legler.

Jokic aka Mr Fundamental 2.0!!! Pure basketball. No flares, no fancy shots, just wants to win!!!

He's Magic Johnson. Perfectly fine with taking 10 shots and scoring 15 points if it means everyone else excels.

Tim is right about forcing Jokic to score and not getting the others going - BUT that's an easy timeout adjustment for Denver - "Jokic they are daring you to score - we know youre not selfish - but let's get this ship" I'm sure none of the players would be upset if Jokic took over

Wait, this is ESPN with a good breakdown of a basketball game? Who knew they had it in themselves.

Tim along with Jason Timpf would be great analysis

14 of 19 scores on jokic passes... bruh- this was an awesome first game from the joker... i aint give him the respect he deserve until about TODAY ...

Somewhere Kendrick Perkins is crying in a car

Disappointed we didn't get a Laker update during the segment. 😂

Just do Tim Legler Touchscreen , deserves more spotlight, better segment than any ESPN show right now

Jokic @ 6'11", Porter @ 6'10", Aaron @ 6'8", KCP @ 6'5", and Murray @ 6'4". What strategies will work against the biggest team in the NBA today? Everything else equal, none. Teams will be scrambling to find legit 5s and big 4s to just catch up to the Nuggets. And then they are still smaller at the 3, 2, & 1. So yeah, Nuggets could win at least 2 championships with this squad.

Tim Legler - the best in the business

tim the only smart analyst on ESPN. Bro has knowledge unlike others who only points the obvious

Great analysis!

Ledger for ESPN is like Jokic to the NBA today.

That was the best analysis I have ever seen

Tim Legler is cream de la cream of ESPN

That's really true,he could use his own show. But he would benefit from constant present former stars. And a producer who knows how to use his skills the right way.I think that ESPN is sleeping.

good point! giving his team mates confidence by letting them shoot

Love this analysis! Thank you ESPN & Tim Legler

Amazing video Let's go Denver Nuggets let win a NBA championship 🏆.

I can’t believe why this man doesn’t has his own show on espn

Now, here's I guy that knows what he's talking about. Actually, two guys.

Basically the field general was the Joker passing, blocking, picking, rebounding. The Heat probably thought they needed to defend against Nikola vs. covering their weak points 🙏

Various RU-vid channels do a much better job breaking down bball film than ESPN but this was pretty good given the context. More of this.

jokic is elastic man in the world

John Stockton was an unselfish & patient player, and the caliber of jokic

Did any of the Nuggets' players even break a sweat during the game?

Joker is a basketball intellectual

Jokic - drafted mid second round Porter junior - drafted late lottery Gordon - acquired via trade Caldwell-Pope - free agent signing Murray - drafted in the lottery (pick was part of the Carmelo Anthony trade) Bruce Brown - free agent signing. Solid roster construction for a team that's not a free agent destination for stars.

3rd best passer in NBA history after Magic and Stockton

Heat are in big trouble. The Nuggets are a well-oiled machine.

I like how jokic is playing... he’s setting up murray, mpj n others to go off rather than scoring more. It’ll be a good strategy in a case where murray, MPJ is off on their game then he gets a voluminous scoring game

Legs MVP

He's a thinker unlike most of them.

The jocic has a complete game.

I hope the Nuggets sweep Miami so we can get back to actual basketball instead of jacking up three's all game. The Nuggets actually PLAY basketball.

WE LOVE YOU 🦵's!!!!!!!

It only took Game 1 of the Finals for both Jokic and the Nuggets to get any sort of recognition.

As a miami heat fan i honestly think that this will end 4-1 denver winning the championship. 1st they dont have the size to guard jokic, 2nd heats bruteforce defence is nullified by denvers ball movement 3rd jimmy buckets has porter guarding him which is a bad match up for his midrange shooting being smaller 4th. Those undrafted players have reached their limit already by being defended accordingly.

Nuggs in 3, then mercy rule in effect 😅

It does really matter. The way the ball hits your hands as your stepping up or out and the timing in stride it along with the english to lead. I could always feel when a good pass came out to me or fell on with timing in stride .. it just feels right and makes shots hard to miss.. its the English on the ball even if no left or right english to get a better angle the ball needs a good back spin or of in transition need top spin to lead into position. Some players click in stride and some cant get it together no matter how good

Miami won every game 1 of the series and won them all but tonight thta ended and ugly! Denver in 5 or 6 games and get their first title in the Nuggets history.

Jokic will go down as the greatest player of all time by a large margin

We may be entering The “Joker Era” in the NBA. Denver is one superstar level player away from being dynasty level problem.

Fun fact! This is not peak Jokic. He's just warming up.

Tim needs to have his own show so ESPN would know those yelling niggas are a thing of the past, JJ used to be good but too bad he has joined those clowns on First Take and starts yelling and screaming as well.

People only talking about un guardable shots but no one talks about ungaurdable passing

Never forget Joker picked basically last for the all star game by Lebron

Jokic reminding me of Shaq during the Lakers 3peat in 2000-2002. If Shaq got doubled, he made the right pass to the open guy. IF Shaq had 1v1 matchup he would take a quick dribble or two then attack. Didn't matter Shaq was too skilled. And then Murry a la Kobe dominating as a 1 2 deadlly punch - driving, shooting, cutting, hitting 3s.

Tim Legler should be coaching in the NBA. Just saying

Yea, dat pass out da post too Brown was good

MPJ really shot 2 for 11 from 3 😮

Game 1 is always the feeler and usually the stars takeover when it's open gym.

Jokic is his own unicorn, but with all the comparisons I never hear Bird, despite the word IQ keep coming up. Not same personality by a mile, but just assist rebound shoot and team and win first, c'mon man

Denver moves the ball well and lets be honest this is over

Its like having a coach on the floor playing. Smart guy.

Nuggets are like twice the size of the heat

Surprised of theses guys. They know ball. Sadly they don't have the views of other lesser analyst

This is the first year ever.. that the clear MVP didn't win mvp... Jokic.

2 free throws the entire game for the Heat? is that some playoff record?

🃏MV3

You tube Chris from vegas

Heat should figure them out, unless its a free championship for the Nuggets

I’m confused when they say he’s not a selfish player. He’s not paid to be the only player on the Nuggets. Those other players are paid millions to play. They gotta work for their money. 😂

Warriors, Warriors, Warriors, Warriors.

Simple 7 footer passes to players who.move without the ball and create openings. That's all you got to in basketball move without the ball.

The Heat are finding the hard way that size matters 🤣🤣🤣

This man should distance himself from ESPN, he actually knows bball and shouldn't be on that entertainment tv but a real sport tv...

Jokic couldn't be praised more by everyone at ESPN, yet somehow Embid wins MVP. Great season, but CLEARLY not the most valuable player in the NBA. Joker was robbed and it legit has my 42 year old self really struggling with the politics this league has about them the last 5 years or so.

Just watch joker score 60 and live with it. He will get tired
