I’ve instinctually started saying that and ‘mate’ after watching this channel for a while 😂😂

[@MineFullStop]

Glad you saw this! Jokic doesn't get the appreciation because of the team he plays for which is sad to see such a talent not be seen by more kids who might otherwise be thinking that you have to have a athletic body/bulky to play basketball or sport.

[@truthhurts837]

It’s intensional. They don’t want kids thinking that. The league and espn treat white players like that.

[@jimbodavis1944]

We love Jokić and his whole family out here in Denver, CO. He brought us our first NBA Championship. The Nuggets went 16-4 in the entire playoff run to the trophy. 🏆 Jokić was Finals MVP and SHOULD have been the 2022/2023 season MVP, but the league was afraid of giving it to the same guy three years in a row. That’s alright; he brought us the trophy instead. We all know Jokić was the true 2022/2023 season MVP.

[@JJ-gl9mn]

He’s the perfect example of how just knowing basketball in itself can make you great

[@nupoloo8550]

Thinking Basketball is a great channel. You should watch his "top 10 players of 2019" video, it goes into great detail just like this video.

[@Thuzer]

Thinking Basketball is easily my favorite basketball channel on KZbin, you should absolutely react to their videos whenever you find time

[@panner11]

Yeah it's probably the most respectable basketball channel on youtube, it's rare to find such original content and analysis. Most channels are just recycled takes and stories. The only thing I worry about is that it's a bit high level for new fans of the sport with the metrics he uses.

[@thwack100]

Yes, Jokic shoots. He averages about 20 points per game

[@luismario1230]

React to “How Luka Doncic is redefining what is possible for young players”

[@samb4998]

From the earliest basketball videos to now it's amazing to see Luka's growth and understanding of the game. Around the 5:30 mark, he understands how due to his passing, Jokic is able to increase the team's odds of scoring, and how he is unselfish. This kind of self-analysis wouldn't have happened three months ago, and Luka's increased understanding and appreciation of the sport is just so heartwarming.

[@regitreas993]

The crazy thng about it is that he is also one of the if not the best scorer in the league as well. Averaged 27 points this year of a ridiculous 58%. If you don't know basketball, just take my word for it -- THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.

[@ericheichelheim1864]

Jokic is amazing. Another insane Denver athlete to check out is thirdbaseman Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies. His defensive highlights in particular are what you gotta watch.

[@timkelly6463]

I go to a few Nuggets games each season. Jokic is a magician and an absolute treat to watch. If you aren't getting those sick passes, he'll be racking up points down low with his elite touch around the rim. Another Denver sports superstar you need to check out is Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (National Hockey League). He's extremely "rapid" on the ice. His stickhandling is unreal. Go check it out.

[@cadexcoplen8928]

Finally !!! My favorite player

[@alistair4945]

Let's goo !! Finally the day has come

[@zazu9117]

Jokic is MVP of the league 2 years in a row and contender for it this year.

[@Simon_Sez]

The fact that he does get himself into great scoring position and is still looking to pass first is something that can annoy some nuggets fans since we know he’s even more dominant when he’s aggressively looking to score too. It just gives the defense even more to think about but over the years he’s evolved to get a better balance of passing and shooting

[@truthhurts837]

I think leading your team to the best record in the Mighty Western Conference without another superstar to back you up is pretty legendary. But if y’all want to change his game, go ‘head. NBA 2K Have it your way all day!

[@MegaAntras]

I see my comment over there on that suggested video 😂😂... And you read both of them... And earn sub 😁

[@jewmaxin1984]

This past year he has developed his game, hes a top 15 defensive player. Might win his 2nd MVP back to back

[@BlackWillow24]

Dennis Rodman is one of the most unique players ever. He was a rebounding specialist and would often have games with single digit points and 20+ rebounds. His personality is also very unique.

[@jJ-qs7np]

The guy who made this video is right about alot but some things he saod are assumptions of jokic a few seasons ago, in the playoffs last season he was a top 3 player also his defense has improved, top 20 defensive rating in the leagie and the highest defensive rating in his team while having a top 5 offensive rating, in some years he will keep evolving and i believe be a MVP or leader of a championship team

[@moldveien1515]

Your pure athlete read is correct, the man is quoted as saying the worst part of being a pro basketball player is being famous, the guy doesnt have a twitter account while being the reigning mvp, on the road to a potential two in a row, he just wants to play basketball, ride horses, and have a good time it seems.

5:30 Jokic is very unselfish but sometimes he’s too unselfish he looks for a pass first and doesn’t think about scoring. It’s a gift and a curse. Sometimes he will go entire halves without taking a shot, even if the team needs him to score.

In all fairness to Jokic that video is a couple of years old and he's only getting smarter with his defense. It's too early to tell but it is being said that he has slimmed down and toned up a lot during this quarantine so it will be very interesting to see if he plays more athletically. Very excited for these weird Quarantine Playoffs because if Nikola Jokic has become athletic than the Nuggets just got a whole lot scarier.

[@truthhurts837]

Slimming down may hurt his game. Skinny guys cannot bang and bully. He doesn’t even need to improve. Have you seen his stats?

"To gain an extra 5-10% chance of scoring" THIS THIS THIS - So many armchair coaches don't understand that a call that doesn't work, doesn't mean it was the wrong call. It's all about gaining those little edges.

[@Alderak1]

Jokic is very unselfish, to the point that I’ve seen Denver fans get frustrated when he doesn’t try to score in some situations.

[@Simon_Sez]

Yeah he’s struggled to find the perfect balance with his aggressiveness scoring vs passing. When he’s a threat in both areas it just makes it that much tougher on the defense but he still has games taking only 2 or 3 shots. I remember a game where his first shot attempt was the game winner so it’s definitely frustrating to see sometimes

Banging is a big part of his game. So is durability. Do you know how many games he’s missed the last two seasons? One. And that wasn’t for injury. He needs the size for durability especially in a league where it’s always open season on trying to hurt white dudes. I guarantee injury.This season.
