Why The NBA Still Hates Nikola Jokic

[@isaiahharper1755]

Jokic is the only reason im still watching the NBA.

[@Zero_Steel]

Same, I never watched NBA till the 2020 playoffs where the Nugs had a run on the Bubble, I am a Jokic fan after that. if he is gone then my reason for watching is over as the other players dont interest me much

[@wyotriumphrider]

It's funny, but in 50+ years of watching professional basketball, Jokic is the most fun player for me to watch. He NEVER fails to throw 6-8 amazing dimes and is an unstoppable offensive force with the deepest bag in basketball.

[@GTNover]

I started watching the NBA again because of Jokic. I couldn't agree with you more.

[@Kvotheprepare]

I would way rather watch Jokic command the floor then more iso hero ball. The iso hero ball as I get older is so much less entertaining compared to making good reads/plays with the whole team involved.

[@KAIZORIANEMPIRE]

BUT HE'S NOT FUN TO WATCH, he isn't stereotypically athletic. He is high iq and good at making decisions. He doesn't play with flash, so to be honest he's good because he gets the points but he doesn't move with swag. Lol, i like him and i love seeing him win but he doesn't have bounce etc....

[@GTNover]

@KAIZORIANEMPIRE Yes, he isn't stereotypical athletic and can't jump out of the gym. The point people are making is high IQ plays where he's 3 steps ahead of everyone else and tricks the entire defense with a pass fake to lead a guy open are FUN TO WATCH. There's a play Lebron made vs. the Lakers where he pass fakes two guys out of the play before throwing a no look pass for an open layup. It's still showed over and over again to this day as one of lebrons best passes. Jokic makes 2 of those types of passes every single game.

[@KAIZORIANEMPIRE]

@@GTNover yeah i get your point here on the fun to watch by being high iq and tall player good point

[@courteouscarpenter7811]

He's in a small market team. Mainstream media doesn't give a damn about him. He could break every single offensive record this year and they'll still talk about lebron stubbing his toe. I'm thankful for small media and youtube for talking about him I wanna hear about him?

Which means Jokic is 4 times better player than Tim, unfortunately

[@juanchohitdalotto]

It’s obviously not their fault as they are the way they are, but fans not being able to relate to them in any way also has a lot to do with it. Where they play also matters too…I guarantee if they played in the bigger market teams like the Lakers, Knicks or even a place like Toronto, the coverage would have been different

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

@@juanchohitdalotto Being a big man, not being explosive, not being American, not having a charismatic personality or being an attention seeker. These are all the things that make it hard to market Jokic. Plus the media does not want Denver to be relevant lol. They only care about big market teams or super athletic and charismatic American talents on small market teams, then they will start planting the seeds that the player should be traded to the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Warriors, Celtics when their team goes on a bad run.

[@user-dc9ew8qv4j]

I don't give a damn about all of the nba, as long as Jokic plays, am gonna watch basketball, he disappears, am out. They love him or hate, or think of him as the best player in history, i don't care, I just want to watch the greatness of how nikola is playing basketball. When you grow older, it becomes near impossible to see something fun & impressive to watch.

[@thekingofball2341]

It's funny how before Jokic won his first championship they were saying "how can he be better than Embiid if he got no playoff success" Jokic led his team to the confernce finals and led his team to the playoffs without his two best players and lost in 5 against the warriors who won a championship and yet Embiid had more talented teammates than Jokic but never even sniffed a conference finals.

@SB-ou5yp nope, neither. Not like this, computer-like, set- chess-pieces-on-board-and-play level. I've been watching Stockton playing - nope. Just, nope. Too young to follow Magic, but watched highlights - Jokic produces that much highlights in two months. In the beginning I was just biased (-ic), nobody here in Serbia expected half of what the guy accomplished. Now I am biased but with arguments. And, if it was not for stupid referees and that crybaby LeBron (later it was all of them) which started to spend more time around referees than on the floor, playing, that Jokić, surrounded by spare parts, would send the all-star team, the strongest one in the last 30 years, home before finals of the Olympic Games.

They always gave Novak Djokovic bad press, until he proved he was the greatest tennis player in history. Serena, Venus, and Arthur Ashe were marketable because they were African Americans playing very well in a sport dominated by Caucasian players. Larry Bird and Nikola Jokic should also stand out because they are white guys excelling at a sport that has mostly African American players at the top. Nikola is fun to watch, he has a good sense of humor, and he’s humble. What’s not to like? He is also s mart as a whip, basketball wise. He made me a fan.

If we want to be honest, he already won that one more MVP. The only problem is that those who decide decided not to award him that well-deserved MVP. They generally said that publicly before it was decided. They themselves gave the reason why they WON'T give him that MVP. And that is, in that case, according to them, he would rank among the greatest NBA American stars of all time. This is what they simply could not allow. So with their actions, they devalued the MVP institution, which is why it is no longer as important and valuable as it once was, except for the American media and some American fans of the NBA. So, as far as the MVP is concerned, it was never particularly important to Jokić, and after that procedure of those who decide on the MVP, neither to many basketball fans. above all in Europe, and the rest of the world.

[@c99kfm]

Imagine if the 76ers had used their second round pick (the one they got from Cleveland) for Jokic rather than Jerami Grant. Embiid and Jokic in a twin tower setup. With any luck, Jokic's work ethic might affect Embiid rather than the other way around, and Embiid might be a better fit as a secondary Big Man. Jokic would have a significantly better team to work his magic on, and I don't think he needs that big of a bump for him to start a dynasty. He might even have been able to hide in Embiid's shadow to avoid the lime-light. Stockton to Embiid's Malone, if you will.

To appreciate his game you should have some knowledge of basketball, some playing experience with team efforts. The most fans just like to see obvious and that is run 'n' dunk play. Furthermore, to understand his game, you should know about ways of raising and training Serbian players and the overall basketball mentality.

Y'all did not hire him for that y'all hired him to play basketball run office and everybody else need to understand that and I don't think I deserve to be threatening anyway but telling the truth or my opinion of the truth y'all hired him is he y'all wrote that in the contract he has to have a personality did y'all write that in his contract he has to have no this you hired him to play basketball and that's what he's doing and if any of y'all I'm like I said if I get cut off then I'll know that you all are biased very very biased that doesn't down to good but that's the way it's it sounds you hired him when you put him on that contract you're to play basketball you didn't say oh you got to have a character after this work you have to be able to show your personality the man considered that he not already told y'all in the beginning it's a job that's what you paid him bug to do a job y'all dead basketball is the job and he's doing just that
