Danny Green and Colin Cowherd discuss how the two players have changed the game, and if anyone can beat the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference.

[@benjaminlockhart8932]

Colin's take that it isn't as 'optically good' is nuts - those guys are literally the most entertaining guys to watch in the league.

[@cwhouse328]

Jokic's passing is one of the most beautiful things in sports.

[@timetowakeup6302]

It’s not optically good because they’re white

[@BreadVanVleet]

@@cwhouse328 fr. I'll watch that over ant and zion all day

[@123carl5]

why can't the editors get the volume right on this channel? One video will be great the next is so quiet. I love watching these videos but the volume deters me from watching. Please fix it!

[@jwill5658]

Facts, video before this was fine and this one is so low

[@chikinlikin6947]

I feel like I'm crazy it sounds fine to me

[@Dezy623]

[@JustinClarkball]

If you watched Wemby at all in France you knew how good he’d be I never understood all the people that doubted him.

[@kells45PS3]

Almost certainly people that never watched him and just wanted to hate lol

[@Anthonydu01630]

They just think the NBA is 10x better than the Euro league or French league, but the truth is that these European players are pro bball players, some (A lot actually) are former NBA players, so the level is high, and when you add the fact that in Europe the court is smaller, the game is only 40min not 48min, and their is no 3 second violation so the big men can camp under the rim, so the spacing is horrible and it’s just tougher to score, last season Wemby averaged 21ppg i believe, AND HE WAS THE TOP SCORER, so Americans must understand that these league are really close to the NBA, just like the MLS and the Premier league, some of the best European teams like Real could beat a lot of NBA teams, they already did …

[@JustinClarkball]

@@Anthonydu01630 The talent level is far better in the NBA. But you have a point. Euro ball is more team oriented and is much better for developing players. Now Real could not bear a bunch of NBA teams. Could they once or twice, yeah. But if they played in the NBA they would be the worst team.

[@joedibs7921]

Don’t forget that nuggets drafted the guy who won DPOY over Wemby in France. Think he will join the team next year 😎

[@cruztheworld8326]

​@@kells45PS3I don't know if it was hate more so than it was seeing it before believing it. A lot of people didn't really get a chance to see him play when he was in France

[@yuckydude]

Luka and Joker are 2 of the most 'esthetically pleasing' players ever. Dunking isn't the only thing that looks good. Colin is pushing that numb skilled narrative that Jok and Luka are "boring" is pretty stupid.

[@cotati76]

Ja and Zion blew their chances to be the face of the league.

[@BUPMY1]

I can understand Ja but Zion has a chance doesn't he?

[@nenevz2948]

Guns n donuts . . . Lethal combination

[@jaylenblount128]

@@BUPMY1a chip changes everything. Next American star who wins a fmvp probably becomes the face of the league real talk.

[@gervinwilliams6885]

Why not Giannis in San Antonio? They got the picks if he wants out. Don't have to gut the team to fit him in either.

[@ortros1]

League isn't getting "European": the game just shifted towards IQ (and away from athleticism) for the time being. Otherwise Bird and Johnson would be considered Europeans, right?

[@purplesky4157]

We’re in the jokic era but I think the next bird and magic is wemby and Luka. I see this as the future great rivalry of the nba.

[@IbraheemBeshir-qz6ok]

I agree with u

[@111fresco]

Thanks for your insight, Danny.

[@DinoTamer23]

Dame and Giannis biggest problem is……………THEIR COACH.

[@jojozahau]

We need Danny Green's PODCAST or him on the ESPN might serve them big. He honest, no bias, actually played the game and can analyzed the Game from 3rd person and Player's perspective at the same time. He might be a Fan of 1, but unlike a lot of these HOSTs, he's not bias, and he is a fan of Basketball more than an individual person playing the game. Btw, Get your Volume straight Colin's EDITOR 👌

[@Jomitheelf]

Doc Rivers is in the same boat as D’Antoni. I cannot understand why they both keep getting opportunities. Doc has been cashing checks for his one run in Boston, for 15 years now. Milwaukee should have held on to Budenholzer.

[@BUPMY1]

lol

[@moneymike226]

You mean the title the Celtics were gonna win with any coach lol? Rivers is trash.

[@Alex-xn8pq]

Bucks should have also kept Jrue. Heard yesterday that he is hitting 62% of his corner threes. Just amazing and such a smart defender. He has made more of a difference in Boston than Kristaps.

[@ebok33643]

Doc got the credit for that Boston team, but it’s more the Boston crew in that year that made the difference.

[@Bustler2020]

Thanks

[@dionysise5008]

Ballance is always the best road. Fans like competition between different styles

[@brushylake4606]

"...not as aesthetically pleasing." I'm a Spurs fan and I've listened to commentators tell me the Spurs are boring for years. Beautiful cuts, pocket passes, and good defence is aesthetically pleasing. Winning is aesthetically pleasing. Dwight Howard and Russel Westbrook are 100s on physical freakishness and 0 basketball IQ...where are they? Everyone wants Tre Young to the Spurs; I'll take Luka any day of the week. Give me boring winning and I'll be ok.

[@SaySpawn]

Victor Wembanyama averaged the same amount of points per minute as MICHAEL JORDAN did IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON. 🤯(Check the JJ reddick video about Wemby).👽🔥

[@lebronarabe5340]

Which one (jj reddick video)

[@olivoil2002]

Yeah cause he's a better rookie than MJ. Would be in MVP talks if Spurs were decent.

[@jayjaymanaloto7806]

@olivermccall7331 yeah cuz wemby plays in the cottony era of nba. if this kind of defense and foul was called during mj's time. he was probably close to 50k point during his career

[@ntnnot]

Vince Carter is the prime example that comes to mind of a high flying dude during his younger years who developed into a solid shooter in his older days and found a good role in that.

[@djjuanhoe7491]

I quit listening to Colin because I get tired of him D riding L.A. and NY. I gave him another chance and here he goes again. If it was up to him he’d move all teams to big market cities

[@treydezellem27]

Anecdotally people want to see the flashy stuff but people enjoy the more fundamental games because the hyper athleticism is always going to be there. Fundamentals have dropped off a cliff. Jokic can potentially be the GOAT over Michael

[@nealsutaria227]

Yes i agree. Finally someone who said this. I’ve been thinking this and telling my friends that jokic has the most potential to pass Jordan, but everyone scoffs at that.

[@Trillchris9607]

The Dallas Mavs have the bigs to give Jokic issues, we saw it a few weeks ago on full display

[@patrickbateman9115]

Danny said KAT can hold Jokic lmao. We just saw Gobert get 41 on his head, too

[@nenevz2948]

Last game Dallas bigs were allowed to absolutely mug Jokic (even more than usual)

[@dristanlifts]

Used wemby as clickbait to only speak about him for a minute

[@jackastor5265]

These guys don't know what they are dealing with when it comes to the Mavericks, who are the true threat to the Nuggets in the West.

[@roberthall1818]

Lakers r 0-8 vs the nuggets since the playoffs

[@Iamnobodyimportant]

I think Danny wants to get into the media game…..he needs better audio setup and also work on his delivery. Very monotone, mumbling

[@darylcortez5714]

Needs better back drop too

[@cotati76]

He could use some serious coaching.

[@Other_Robots]

Dame is the weak link on the bucks and teams are gonna lock in on him in the playoffs. Dude’s defense is garbage and him shooting 5/29 or having to rely on free throws to offset his poor efficiency is gonna continue to hurt the team

[@SoCalRhetor]

OK, I think we can never have Danny Green on again. Even when I try to really pay attention, I don’t hear a word he says. There's just no way you can find anybody more boring.

[@patrickbateman9115]

Gafford and Lively yet Danny says KAT can hold Jokic lmao

[@CesarGonzalez-ru1yd]

Colin.... Get rid of that closing on all your videos. It's annoying and not catchy AT ALL...

[@Truth_Make_You_Free]

Both Wolves and OKC beat Denver in their reg season series. 🙄

[@frazierallen1006]

Wemby is the worst thing to happen to Jokic career.

[@markbantz9699]

Why would you move off Kaminga? How dumb!

[@Boomdizzle99]

BUCKS DONT DEFEND WELL ENOUGH TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. Theyre going out in the first round.and after they lose. Major shake up needed in Milwaukee or Giannis is GONE. He will want out

[@mr.frenchii8973]

This narrative that the Lakers matchup well with Denver... STOP IT!! they got swept with almost the same roaster. Denver will destroy them

[@Musso88]

Thank you jmac. That was an awful job by Green. Players like Ja almost never adjust their games and become barely a shadow of what they were early on. Luka and Jokic are simply much better than those guys and only a certain demographic cares about dunks. Agility is not something anybody doubted for Wembanyama. I’m so tired of hearing about new media and how great ex players are. Outside of people like Legler and JJ, they’re simply too dumb to give intelligent analysis and are too biased. It’s embarrassing.

[@treydezellem27]

Giannis is the cause for all of his struggles with the Bucks.

[@krivers1117]

You can teach athletic guys skill. You can not teach athleticism to skill players. Americans will catch up

[@rado22]

Luka has productivity like Jokic. He has no impact like Jokic. To have impact he needs to play basketball also when he doesn't have ball in hands.

[@forcecalibration924]

I hate Danny Green idk why

[@BUPMY1]

lol

[@andrewcameron1346]

Danny is way under utilized. Very smart analyst.
