I hate to say it but Jokic is like Tim Duncan , no matter what he accomplished because he’s not marketable to a certain type of fan he’ll never quite get the type of praise he’s worthy of consistently from media. For example look at everything Duncan accomplished in his first 10 seasons 98-07 4 titles 4-0 3 finals mvps , 2 MVPs Best great teams in the playoffs, 03 one of the biggest carry jobs ever, wasn’t on a superteam. The 6 years he didn’t win 98 - Rookie 00 - out with injury in playoffs 01 and 02- faced prime Kobe and Shaq while his best teammate was a way past prime declining David Robinson 04 Would’ve likely beat the Lakers and went to another Finals if Fisher didn’t make a miracle shot with 0.4 seconds in game 5 06 Lost in game 7 overtime vs Dallas , had 41 points and 15rebounds Any team other player had a 10 year start to a career like that it would’ve been goat conversation, yet because Duncan wasn’t marketable he wasn’t even a top 5 most talked about player in the league. For someone like Jordan who was the most marketable player ever the media and fans were calling him the goat before he even had the first 3 peat because the way he played looked spectacular and passed the eye test and scoring is the only thing casuals really notice, while Jokic does alot of nuanced things on offense that are under appreciated.

The Bill Russel praise tends to rub me the wrong way, because almost everyone seems oblivious to the context. There were only 10 teams in the NBA during Bill Russels career (from 8 teams to 12 teams, averaged out throughout his career 10 teams).There weren't salary caps and the established Boston Celtics had a stacked team against mostly franchises just trying to get off the ground. And comparing players back then is apples and oranges. Pre 1970 basketball could and probably should be it's own category. But when people throw around Russels 11 rings and what not... the context really should be understood. I have no qualms commendeding him against the players of the era, but comparing him against the recent era's... it's too different and bolstering someone for having 11 rings against such limited competition with a stacked team is ridiculous.

They can always change the rules back to the ones being enforced in the 1970s if they want!

I think with bill Russel you have to remember,the era argument is the only reason he's not considered the goat by a lot of people.if people thought winning in the 60s was as valuable as winning in the 2000s then 11 rings and 5 MVPs would have him deep in goat discussions,people not considering him a goat canadite serves as proof they don't just take 11 rings at face value.

Mvp is for best player. Nothing to do with "value" relative to each team. Why do people keep saying that? Other yes 4 in a row for joker...i dont count embiids DEI award which is also not the criteria.

No it’s value for that season which Jokic was but it doesn’t always go to the best player

Hey when ppl say players are better today wth man just look at all star game 1993 and compare to latest all star game. All of this today would get hurt after 1993 game.

I dont get why normal podcasters, people mainly seem to be with Jokic on this, but former players, tv and radio media all seem to be hating on Jokic. Fk the media and their stupid views

Shaq is bitter cause he thinks he was shafted(which he wasn’t) and was lazy, disinterested player that wasted so much of his prime. That is all on HIM and his choices. He’s a manchild that has the maturity of an 8th grader.

The Joker, is the best big man center of all time, and the NBA can’t handle it because he isn’t black.

I agree with Shaq I don't think he should have won it all I do believe that MVP this year belong to SGA and they robbed to him because they want to make the nuggets look like this powerhouse when they just won their first championship last year and make them seem like they're unbeatable when they're not but everybody riding their nuts right now acting like they are He's not a dominant big man the NBA just made the game more cater to the way he plays now

Are we at the point in Nikola Jokic’s career where accountability is now “hate”? The Joker has officially arrived as a superstar in the NBA.
@bbcpfghs19 күн бұрын
Accountability and unproductive hating are two different things And wtf do you mean Joker has “officially arrived”? It’s literally his third MVP lmao

honestly, shai isn't even in the mvp debate... it was between luka and jokic and everyone else, including shai, was in the NEXT echelon of performance

Nash having 2 mvp is crazy if they was put the same nartive they did before shai would've won this year Derick rose would have no mvo lebron should've won but they ignore that now an actually give it to best player 😂
