Jokic is really the first center that can do everything well, which is why no team can stop him. Swarm him, he passes to an open player. Block him at the basket, he takes an easy floater... If you allow him time while deep, he can hit the three. You can't even foul him, since he is excellent at free throws.

I remember the exact moment where I was the day and the time Nikola got selected as the 42nd pick in the 2nd round of the 2014 nba draft.. it was honestly one of the most bizarre decisions the Nuggets had ever made but I just felt something good about Joker.. I looked up some highlights on KZbin of him playing in Serbia in 2011-2013 and it blew me away.. I knew we had one of the next great big men and possibly one of the best centers of modern NBA times and that’s no disrespect to Mr O’Neal.. love Shaq too ❤⛹️🏀

From a footballing perspective, Jokic is kinda the Yaya Toure/Paul Pogba player that’s really good at pretty much every facet of the game and they play at the center of the pitch/court and you can literally build your team around them. Yaya and Pogba are quick, strong, technical, bigger than the average midfielder while still being pretty agile, Jokic is pretty much the basketball version of that. He can pass, shoot, is a 7ft giant and while not a high flyer he’s still a pretty imposing physical presence. His absolute worst quality is his slightly above average defence, which you can very easily mask with 4 other teammates.

It has nothing to do with color but you're not getting 3 in a row anymore. There are too many players who deserve it for what they do for their own team.

Can’t Hack-a-Shaq. Can’t leave him open outside the perimeter. Can’t double-team him. The only plausible strategy is to put him in a position to get in foul trouble, which the Miami Heat did in Game 3 and Game 4 of the NBA Finals thanks to Spoelstra’s great coaching and the 6th Man (questionable officiating); however, the Nuggets bench was able to deliver anyway - alluding to a solid Nuggets team even when Jokić is off the court (even with a post season brick-factory from the usually reliable Michael Porter Jr.). The Nuggets are a defensive nightmare for other teams (let’s not forget about Jamal Murray who achieved a 30-point triple-double alongside Jokić in the same playoff game, which is the first time in NBA history, during an away game via Game 3 in the NBA Finals no less). Teams need to achieve a 3-point field goal percentage of 50% or higher to make up for the offense of the Nuggets. The Heat - along with a large portion of the NBA teams - live and die by the 3-pointer; the Nuggets are here to say, “Good luck with that!” The Nuggets/Jokić are forcing the 3-point OBSESSED NBA to change their game or run into a wall in the post season (the Nuggets).

Revenue college sports brings to schools: Nearly 50 public colleges and universities enrolled in NCAA Division 1 athletics have reported at least $100million in revenue for the 2022 fiscal year, led by Ohio State generating $252M. In addition to the Buckeyes, Texas, Alabama, Michigan and Georgia also reported earnings above $200M, according to data compiled by USA Today and The Knight-Newhouse Data project at Syracuse University. The SEC reached a $3billion deal with Disney in 2020, meaning all all of the league's games will appear on its network, including ABC and ESPN over the next decade starting in 2024. The Big Ten, on the other hand, agreed to a seven-year, $7B media rights agreement with FOX, CBS, NBC, to show league games on its network starting this season until the end of the 2029-30 athletic year.

@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 Жыл бұрын
You play against who they put in front of you. Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid are both Hall-of-Fame locks (both better than 90% of the Centers Shaq faced), the game is just different now. Let's put Shaq in today's league where his entire offense would be an offensive foul now (an offensive foul for someone who is an atrocious free throw shooter) as well as in a league that is dominated by full-court basketball (with Shaq being infamous for his poor conditioning and gym work ethic). If we're gonna talk context, let's bring in the FULL context. Also, none of the all-time great Centers outside of maybe Wilt and Bill Russell will be willing/able to follow Joker to the 3-point line, and the ones who are willing run the risk at leaving the paint open for his cutters, eliminating the interior defense that legends like Kareem, Hakeem, and the Admiral would bring to the table. And to go back to Shaq, in his prime (when he was actually winning championships) he was going against Centers like Brad Miller, a 6'8 Ben Wallace, an always injured Yao Ming, and a WAY past their prime Mutombo, Alonzo, and David Robinson. So a lot of the Hall-of-Famers he faced on his Finals runs were Hall-of-Famers by name and resume, not by their play at the time. Shaq is still the 2nd greatest Center of all time in my eyes (only under Kareem) and is a personal favorite of mine, but let's not act like Jokic's production would fall off while playing in that era, especially since he thrives in half-court basketball. The one stat that MIGHT diminish is his assists, because of how poor the shooting was in the 90s and 2000s.

I'm a Celtics fan so I hate the 76rs. But y'all not understanding how Embiid won the MVP is silly. Yes it was close, but that was not rigged. Joel was an absolute nightmare to play against. The people who have the vote are not imbeciles. The MVP is a regular season award. Playoffs mean nothing. The difference in defense is obvious and he also lead the league in scoring. I wish I was there, ' or any American' to explain the intricacies. Highlights don't mean shit. Some of the most important players don't crush the stat line. You two have no idea how often plays are affected by a player just being on the court. How much bigger would Shaq's stats be if players didn't change their plan when he was the second guy after you beat the first? I could go on longer but listen, watching highlight reels are not an indication of what really transpired. Marcus Smart won defensive player of the year last year. Look at his stat line. Embiid totally deserved the award.
