[@xTemper]

Correct and even then he still scores plenty of buckets. Triple double machine, no athleticism at all, now this is a Unicorn to me

[@marijamaric6182]

Ok i need to share my expressions about Jokic, inot cause I’m from Serbia, like we have really good other players, it’s cause i really havent seen this kind of play that Jokic express and that kind od lifestory. He’s definitely so intelligent player who can predict where his timmates will be before they even know (maybe this is smth normal in NBA, but i didnt see a lot of it in FIBA). And the best thing is that till his 16s he was a kid from a little Serbian town, eating unhealthy food and drinking litars of Coke per day, without big dreams, just him and his brain, doing thing that he likes the most. I’m so happy for him that scouts did recognize ,,that brain” and that such talent wasn’t wasted. Cause basketball its not all about beeing a perfect athlete and the shooter in team, at least it’s team sport and hes doing so much, unselfish for the team. My comment is getting a little bit long ahah but I really am impressed and inspired with Jokić, and kinda pround though 💪🏻

[@SgtPrice1000]

0:44 has me convinced that Jokic has telepathic abilities. He gives his teammate just one look well before he's even thinking about passing the ball, says nothing, doesn't look anywhere NEAR him again, and then fires a perfect laser of a pass. Best passing center ever.

[@malcolmgonzales827]

Very high bball IQ and great court awareness. He's like a taller Larry Bird in regard to his offensive ability. Obviously he can't shoot as well but great passer and decision-maker with the ball. His defense needs to improve though.

media alwyas associate "talent" with athletic talent- the ability to jump, run, the long limbed body , of a prototypical nba freak wing- but they always ignore cerebral talent- the most essential talent in all things. this guy sees things others cannot- and can find a solution to things that people dont even realise is a problem. his perception of spaces, angles and shapes on the court is something that cant be taught- like a messi or zidane, nash or bird- or curry. its something that like athletic talent- cannot be learned or acquired- ur simply born with it- and this guy has it as much as anyone ive ever seen. if he had the athletic talent as well though? i honestly think he d be the best big man of all time.

[@user-nd7xu8sb7p]

Kenneth Faried most love all the assists Jokic gives him 😂

[@keww4556]

Some of these passes are insane, because he was in no position, at least to most players, to even make a pass. He has top notch passing even among guards. Given his height and position, he can more easily show it off than smaller sized players. For one, he's at post and he just throws up a lav above the rim to a cutting teammates without even turning his body or raising his elbow above his head. It's like he just randomly throws the ball and yet it is perfectly delivered to the teammate. Also, many of the passes to the cutting teammates are not easy at all. So many times I thought the cut was not well run as the defender was still chasing tight, and I thought that he may have to reorganize their offense or have Jokic play iso. But Jokic just somehow delivers the ball a few inches a head of them at the right height and let his cutting teammate comfortably grabs the ball at the right place for a layup.

[@predragon6196]

Jokic makes more highlights worthy assists in a month then average PG manage during his entire career, so its perfectly understandable that lot of them get left out off the compilation...BUT best career mix should highlight players capabilities, in case of Jokic assists it should highlight diversity and creativity and it should have included example of assist off the dribble (5-4 PnR lob, Joker-Plum/Millsap, lob2 Faried beyond half court), sling/whip pass to corner 3, pinball, baseball, football, water polo, bounce in traffic passes, short-roll assists, post2perimeter etc

[@sssloe]

​@@stefangjorgiev5161 Respectfully disagree. Nuggets are 19th in the league in 3P FG% and 18th in the league in 3PM with Malik Beasley and Jamal Murray as their only significant volume shooters. Malik made 163 3P FGs, 11 more than Jamal, despite only starting 18 games. Gary Harris and Will Barton were coming off an injury, displaying average and below average shooting with Will Barton usually providing some of the worst shot selection out of all the players in the roster. It's a bigger shitshow when Jokic is on the bench - he spaces the floor and creates open looks and shots so well that their 3PM and 3P FG% drops significantly without him, with the rest of the roster struggling to create a decent or open shot position. If he were to play with HOF shooters, the league would be fucked.
