Why Were 40 Players Drafted Before Nikola Jokic? (Rookie Season) 

I'm well aware I pronounced his name right and wrong back to back, all throughout the vid I don't know what my brain does when saying his last name Second channel: RU-vid.com/dom2k Shoutout to SeatGeek for sponsoring the video, use code DOM2K and get $20 back on your first order!

Just realized jokic is the perfect modern day center he can shoot, pass, good in the post and has decent handles for a center I know I’m late 😂 but that’s crazy

Finally Jokic getting some recognition , so happy for him. Jokic can do anything on the court beside jumping.

2:22 boban behind jokic

Doncic was clearly the best prospect last year and his looks and country of origin clearly influenced the scouting "experts"... They should really just look at what the player can do on the court. So many players were drafted early in the first round just because of their athletic abilities even tough they clearly couldn't shoot, didn't have any playmaking skills and couldn't play defence.

AND RUSSELL WESTBROOK AVERAGES ANOTHER TRIPLE DOUBLE Nikola Jokic: hold my vodka

jokic : i wanna play pg coach coach : you're biggest man in our team, you play center *say no more, play pg role at center position

Why Were 40 Players Drafted Before Nikola Jokic? Where Are they Now?

Fast-forward to 2021, He's the MVP alright.

The guy was sleeping when he was selected😂😂😂

He’s now a back to back MVP

Jokic really should be in the MVP conversation. Averaging a near triple double and leading his team to a second seed in the west

Jokic deserves nba all first team over Embiid

He plays so effortlessly (not lazily). I can also imagine that if players were allowed to play while holding and eating donuts, he'd be able to do that too...

Hes helping our city Rise up!!!! Future Dynasty with him, Murray and Gary Harris!

Ahhhh the iconic “No smooth ad transition today”

My man Big Honey out there cooking everyone

If you take availability, basketball IQ, and his range into account I don’t think there’s a center in the NBA you take right now over Jokic.

ah some jokic love. my faith in humanity is restored.

The nuggets are great at drafting steals, my team's two best players were drafted by the nuggets, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert

Hot take: Jokic will be the first player to average a triple double shooting 50-40-90 scoring 20+ points, maybe the only to ever do it

thank you for showing Nikola and the Nuggets some love.

love this type of video especially for a second rounder...next we need Isaiah Thomas and draymond green

The centre point guard. The NBA is looking great. Want to see some Jolic vs Giannis

Honestly Jokic’s speed with ball looks faster than his normal speed

Came back to this vid after 2yrs because Jokic is the best big man in the nba rn and about to win the MVP and the championship!! 🃏

5:30 That looked soo smooth, like wow.

Dom can u make a video about max is telling kawhi is more clutch than kobe!i will wait for that video and hear ur opinion about it

Jokic is now the favorite to win the MVP award because of Embiid's and Lebron's injuries. The lowest pick to win MVP was Steve Nash at 15th. Let that sink in.

very cool video dude

Nikola jokic is is leading a hell of a run considering where the nuggets are on most peoples brackets

2:24 Bobaaan

2:22 boban marjanovic?

Bruh this intro....Dom GOODNESS. That was heavy.

*Nuggets in 7*

and now he is mvp

Jokers lacks explosiveness...and nothing else. Best center in the league.

Did no one learn from Dirk NoSWISHki?! He was NEVER NBA athletic. Even Luka Doncic isnt the most athletic. The 20's might be dominated by Euro players and I'm excited for it. It only gives more exposure to the world of basketball.

Id take an intelligent player before I take a uber athletic player of the same ability.

Very good video! I enjoyed your video! You have earned yourself a new subscriber

GM's keep making the same mistake, drafting athletes instead of amazing players. Look at 2018, Ayton e Bagley picked before a generational talent like Luka. This year Zion is being hyped as fuck, just for his athletic skills.

Is it safe to say that the Nuggets are amongst the top drafting teams when it comes to recognizing talent? They drafted Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Jokic, Murray, Harris and so many others.

that no look at 8:35 got me ngl

Teams have a tendency to downgrade players for being European, which is silly. There have been some fine European players who proved Europeans can compete with Americans. Dirk Novitski, Drazen Petrovic, Sarunas Marshiulonis, Toni Kukoc, Arvydis Sabonis, Peja Stojokavic, and others proved that they could compete with the best. Novitski became an all time great. Jokic is on par to become an all time great if he keeps up the level he is at now. He can score inside and out, he dominates the boards, and is one of the best passing big man I've ever seen. I think he could play better defense, but that is his only flaw. Otherwise, he is an ideal player...

I like The Joker. If MPJ gets and stays healthy they'll have a really nice team for years to come.

Funny true story. A few years after this video a lottery pick filled US Olympic team will lose to an Australian team lead by two career back up point guards.

2:17 BOBAN

If this is a new series would it only be about those who are currently in the league only or is it gonna include past players?

Jokic be passing the ball like these defenses put him half to sleep

The Joker

That pistol Pete pass gawdam

That's My Hero Music is dope with is video 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥

Damn, did he get poked in the eye in that clip around 3:00 ?

In 2016. I said Jokic was a future MVP and I got laughed out of a dorm room. Look at it now bitches.

Love how Dom says "the A word" 😂😂

this video is amazing thinking about how jokic is now a b2b Mvp

In conclusion we stan Nikola Jokic harder than ever before

That's why he is a Joker.

my boi bol is also a sleeper at 44th pick

Jokic, J=Y in You.

The joker

Dom: even if the nuggets get knocked out in the second round portland: nuggets: ayo gimme that 3:2 lead

@Dom2k great video, and about the pronunciation its Yo-kee-tch.

2:18 the goat against some scrub named Nicole

He's basically an oversized Luka Doncic.

You could do the 10 players picked ahead of him in the 2nd round

Whoever in Denver made the decision to pick Jokic needs to get a serious raise.

Do one on donovan.mitchell pls

Hey, I heard you saying he's not the best center in the NBA, that's not my opinion, he's going to win MVP and win an NBA Championship, the thing is that he plays for a small market team and he's European and you guys (in America) tend to underestimate greatly players that are in those situations... Like Luka, Dirk, Kristaps (if he comes back healthy), TP, Kirilenko, Diaw and Antentokoumpo, he's gonna prove his real value and make you critics, analysts wrong ! ;)

Until this year I thought Jokic and Nurkic were the same ppl

Anyone else ever wonder why he doesn’t just spend some time in the gym and add some athleticism? Like he’s already good but think of how great he would be with all his skills plus a bit of speed.

Nobody: Oprahside: *JOKATIC*

Bro it's Yokeich, not Jokeich

Imagine using bonus code for 20$ discount while buying a 20$ ticket..

do a video like this for draymond green

Who tf is joe-kic? It’s yo-kic

I dont claim to be a god that can see the future but from what i have seen right now at these playoffs and this year as a whole if i wanted to create a championship team i would pick Joker over Embiid something that i wouldnt do a couple of years ago!

better than the first no. 15 way way way better.

Is that Jamal Murray? @3:15

Serbia give to the world only the best of its kind,what ever it is it is best in that. Ziveo brat nas Srpski Nikola! Zivela majka Srbija i Rusija! Ziveo pred.Vucic!

whats the name of the background music?

Hey, what's the background music at 6:50?

Nikola is the best center in my opinion

Listening in the car

He's 24 now

SAme as jimmy butler draft story

Gummy bear

Why were 1 players were drafted before *HASHEEM THABEET* (IDK if its the correct spelling but he was drafted for OKC)

its amazing that the spurs didnt pick this guy up

Noti gang

Because Americans don't give players from Europe a fair shot

Imagine Jokic with Giannis

The same reason they passed on Luka

He caught on to how the playoffs are played differently quick. If you watched round 1 you would see the spurs were real physical with him everytime he ran up court they'd put hands on him and he'd look at the refs for a foul. As the series went on he started becoming more and more physical. It has definitely helped his game.

Why Bol Bol was drafted 44th? This will be video, in 2022-2023.

Sometimes it feels like the scouts just think like this: "He can dunk on some high school kids...He is a great slasher and his athletic ability will help him thrive in the NBA. And he has long arms so he should be a pretty good defender. He can't shoot at all but he will surely develop a jumpshot soon. So I think that he is a great prospect and should be drafted in the lottery." and also "Just look at him. He's white, slow, fat, can't jump. Who cares that he can shoot and pass the ball? Who cares that he is holding his own against grown men in Europe? Second round prospect at best and he should be glad that he even gets drafted.."

dang, if nurkic hadn't gotten injured, jokic vs nurkic would've been so entertaining: two great centers, two former teammates, battling it out in the playoffs

#GuruBasketballKieroSays THE JOKER IS THE BEST CENTER IN THE LEAGUE Yes, better than Embiid

This Serbian basketball. The best white school in the world in the last 30 years.

Jokic for MVP and All NBA first team him and Kawhi have been overlooked so hard these playoffs like ESPN dodging them or something
