[@Mustaineable]

Man you are such a talent for storytelling just like Jokic for basketball.

[@pranavmanie1479]

One thing the video misses: unlike Harden and Westbrook, Jokic drops triple-doubles with relatively MUCH LOWER usage rates. And he's wildly, wildly efficient, with some of the highest PER in the league. He's a superstar who doesn't need the ball for most of the game. I don't think that's very normal. I also think it's amazing.

[@Jay_pantig]

I think he's number one at PER right now.

[@legendarywiimaster]

And also he doesn’t stat pad

[@MegaAntras]

[@bryanfoster326]

He’s setting a new standard for the traditional big. Traditional bigs have been getting phased out for some time, but Jokic’s impact on winning may be building a new archetype for what future centers will be.

[@AkaThePistachio]

Lived in Denver as a kid then moved back to the UK. Discovered my love for basketball at the late age of 18. Start watching the NBA, see Warriors dominating every year. Decide to support my home team as I liked this big guy called Jokic, bought his jersey, watched them lose to portland but happy they made it to the playoffs and took a series. Next year watch them come back from 3-1 down twice just to lose to the lakers. I was sad but that run was so incredible I had to believe they could go all the way next year. Now present day and Jokic is the MVP had a good playoff run without his partner in crime. Even though I had little to no knowlege of basketball when I started watching I saw something special in this guy and Im so happy we have such a talented player on the nuggets.

[@somborshuffler]

This was a great video! And as of today he's officially the MVP! I'm so happy Jokic finally got the recognition he deserves.

[@brankovicbrankoni1527]

In 20 years, Jokic will be recognized as someone who has transformed the way players play in the center/power forward position, something similar to what Steph Curry did with a three-point shot. First of all, I mean the higher participation of "Big's" in the organization of the game and more assists on average. Examples are: Bam Adebayo (increased from 2.2 to 5.4 assists) Domantas Sabonis (increase from 2.9 to 6.7 assists) Julius Randle (increased from 3.1 to 6 assists)

[@unikaluspaveldas5644]

Well we all have seen the passes (including the one handed pass to start an attack), 3 point scoring and the IQ, and the name of the center was Arvydas Sabonis. Of course he tells his own son to work more on footwork and pass more. NB I dont deny that Nikola is exceptional. All the respect to Denver scouts, analysts and decision makers.

[@ProjectExMachina]
