Finals Total Stats….Giannis 2021 vs Jokic 2023: Giannis: 35.2 PPG + 13.2 RPG + 5.0 APG + 1.2 SPG + 1.8 BPG - 2.3 TOV = 54.1 Jokic: 30.2 PPG + 14.0 RPG + 7.2 APG + 0.8 SPG + 1.4 BPG - 3.4 TOV = 50.2 On top of that, Jokic FG% for the Finals was 58.3% while Giannis’s FG% was 61.8%…yep!!! 61.8%. So to put it plainly, no one is even close to Giannis when it comes to overall stats in the NBA Finals for the last 50 years. BTW, both Giannis and Jokic are both 28 yrs old but Giannis is way ahead of Jokic when it comes to Career Achievements Total Achievements: (Titles,MVPs,Finals MVP,1st All-NBA,1st All-DEF): Giannis = 13 Jokic = 7 That’s just to put things into perspective

It was great to hear Malika speak so highly of Nikola after clearly holding a true knowledge about his personality. Thank you both!

Btw that game where the Spanish scouts came to watch Jokic while he was in Mega, which Malika mentioned, is legendary in Serbia BCS there is a story about why he played bad. Clearly, he didn't mention it in the interview with Malika but the thing was Jokic's now wife went to study at college in the US so the Joker kind of "allegedly" decided to go to the NBA so that they could be together instead of going to Spain as his then club wanted. Thus-he played a terrible game and avoided going to Spain. He hinted at it one time for media in Serbia. Either way, the man is a legend and on his way to cementing himself as the best Euro player of all time.

Nikola had other priorities in life. Playing basketball is his job and he’s good at it but it’s not his passion. He enjoys playing it but it’s not everything. This is actually normal. I like him. He doesn’t like the spotlight or being on camera. But he understands it’s part of the job to be on tv and to go through all these interviews. His mentality is to go out and work. At the end of the day, he comes home to his family. He does live the American dream.

What’s amazing about the TRIPLE DOUBLE LORE? Is all the GREATS who play and have played, want it. It’s extremely difficult stat-line to achieve, and it gives cadence to a player’s overall greatness. If Joker is achieving triple doubles, and it’s done by stat padding (which essentially implies he’s getting them easier because of it) why is it harder for other great players to achieve? Especially when a TRIPLE DOUBLE is a highly sought after stat line? Perhaps getting a triple double is unbelievably hard, stat padding or not? I swear people hate what they don’t understand and or comprehend the unknown.
@jack-of-all-trades1234 Жыл бұрын
What's the difference between a stat padder and a player simply having a great game? Part of a triple double is assists so that alone would suggest that you aren't being a ball hog. High scoring with low assists to me is a true stat padder.

The thing about Jokic is you never see any tension in his game because he simply reads the situation on each possession.. He can inflict damage, at 7 feet, from pretty much any spot on the floor. It's his versatility and intelligence that stand out the most to me. He makes great decisions and takes great shots. When was the last time he forced anything? Lastly, it's a misnomer that Nikola isn’t a great athlete. This is utter nonsense. Basketball is a lot more than running and jumping, his eye-hand coordination is off tbe charts. HIs also strong as an ox, you're not moving him when he power dribbles and is in score mode inside. He has tremendous touch and most importantly sees the entire floor.

Dan, ESPN had no problem finding Steve Nash highlights of throwing alley oops. If you are actually watching, Jokic has 3 or 4 highlight real plays night in and night out. Mostly it's his incredible passing that's slept on by highlight reals. He aslo has Clutch turn around 1-footed jumpers (no problem showing those for Dirk over the years), his signature Sombor Shuffel shot. He's always making 1 or two clutch defensive plays. I think he is just misunderstood by producers. They need to look at his game more like Jason Kidd, or Magic, who were pass first guys and yet full of highlights.

Coming from the very same area as Nikola Jokic (province of Vojvodina in Serbia ex Yugoslavia ) i have to say he is indeed an unique person and player still somehow a product of the culture and history of surroundings where he grow up (the way he moves, basically slowly , and speaks his language in a very funny and very dear way to me ). Lowland of Vojvodina ,fertile landscapes of cornfields , rye and other agricultural activities turned Vojvodina in a "slow" life rhythm area known about "lets take it easy" approach when it comes to any kind of activities. To eat good food and drink good vine. Love towards the horses derives naturally. I am coming from the past , from Yugoslavia where hundreds of thousands kids swarmed over basketball playgrounds, playing all day long, after Yugoslavia become World Champion (again and again). Absolutely, madly in love with the game. Many famous basketball players came from Yugoslav School of Basketball to play in NBA. Divac, Petrovic, Radja, Stojakovic, Kukoc coming from different parts of Yugoslavia left their trace in NBA. Excellent Players. All of them , more or less accepted "homo homini lupus" American culture where the first one is the winner and all the rest are looser. All of them were impressive. But only Nikola Jokic have changed the game. HE HAS CHANGED THE GAME. He climbed to the very top of it. it is not going to be the same any more. Basically slow, absolutely unathletic, with a deep love to the game, clearly dedicated to win TOGHETHER with his teammates, humble , bright eyes, with the type "i do not know how and why i did it, it had to be done" answers he had during the press conferences. Passing the ball. Everybody passes the ball but Jokic Scoring..... You know i am playing basketball a life time now. I work for UN DPKO and I've build basketball playgrounds in a very peculiar spots over this planet (Baghdad Green Zone, Sahara Northern Mali ..) and i replay Jokic's passing the ball over and over again. He brought a smile to my face. Kids are going to swarm the playgrounds again. Thank you Nikola Jokic for passing the ball to me and to all the people who recognized the way you are playing it. Malika , thank you for a very good job when it comes to this and other interviews you do.
