What NBA Legends And Players Think Of PRIME Nikola Jokic

[@TortaJeLaz]

"Not doing anything kids wanna see" - being a down to earth family man who doesn't do drugs and stuff AND he loves horses more than fame... He is a person I would want my kids to look up to in many ways.

[@redzmaja1805]

Jokic is not for diddy party!!!

[@nickpagano7134]

Plus his post game is a thing of beauty

[@smw4628]

He's probably right because kids gravitate to dunks and athletic moves. When you become an adult you realize that the object of the game is to win and he's a winner.

[@ImRural]

Very well said.

[@Stan-jq8jr]

There are a lot of jealous, nasty "brothas and sistas" that hate on Jokic. They hate that a white person yet again dominates in something they thought belongs to them. Even though they literally invented nothing, explored nothing, created nothing, discovered nothing, they still assume they can do that. Well Jokic is dominating basketball and will be the GOAT, better than Jordan, Magic, Chamberlain, Kobe or Larry Bird who by many black players at the time was considered the GOAT. Same thing with Caitlin Clark in WNBA, who is destroying black females on the court. Many hate on Eminem, because a white dude left all the rappers so far behind that it's not even funny. You also see whites dominating boxing - Yusik, Fury, Lomanchenko and before them Klitchko brothers for over a decade. We are seeing new world records even in running sports by white men and women. White people are becoming more interested in sports again and it shows. Prepare to see more hate, more envy, more anger from the blacks.

Some kids at my gym stopped shooting half court shots and are now moving the ball and making plays. The Jokic effect.

[@duskobabic4285]

I hope that Jokic will be at this level for many more years. Just because of his "I don't care" attitude.

[@thirteen26]

I think the Denver Nuggets is legitimately afraid that Jokic would retire after his current contract ends after the 2027-28 season. Jokic just might say "I've earned enough money for me and my family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. I just want to go back home with my family in Serbia and live the rest of my life raising and racing horses."

Thank God he's PROUD SERB and not American.

[@vladimirrisojevic3945]

Jokic is a playmaker in a giant body. His play may not have been that attractive and not quite show , but it is unique and inspiring. He is at the service of his team. His behavior is in the Christian spirit, he teaches children to be modest, selfless and to share among themselves, finding the ultimate happiness in serving the goals of the group. And what a cohesive basketball team can do, especially in defense, was best demonstrated by Serbia, which dominated the USA in three and a half quarters of the game, even though it was objectively weaker than the opponent.

[@redzmaja1805]

I agree with you 💯 not 🚫 like p diddy party

[@magdalenapaulite-lemana2101]

The reason why I watched NBA again is because of Nicola Jokic! I am a fan of MJ and KB but I stopped watching after they are gone from NBA courts! Jokic adds life to basketball games because of his ingenuity!!!❤❤

[@milanmihajlovic8569]

Good video and when I hear those people talk about Jokic then understand how special he is and how difficult he is to defend him. What sets him apart is his approach to basketball. He is not interested in flashing around, jumping 3m in the lift, pounding all that stuff that you see but simply plays on a different level which can be difficult to read. He has the advantage of being tall and strong without muscles, but combined with the fact that he has many skills, he solves problems without getting stuck. The guys in the video explained it very well.

[@AutumnandAlaine]

Unbelievable player. So damn good. Super High IQ. A very smart and good player.

[@CHPH-bDL]

He's got perception and he anticipates where his teammates are moving as a great compensation for not being athletic for NBA standards. It's odd to se a center with play style that often resembles point guards, but he reminds you that NBA basketball is a team sport instead of one on one contest. 🍻🍻🍻🍻 So his qualities make other four guys more efficient players. I can't imagine how to calculate total contribution to one's team, but I guess he would score extremely high there. 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@elijamica]

“he is not doing what the kids want to see” it’s a sport not a reality tv show

[@AmigoAmigo-w5p]

We will NEVER see PRIME Jokic. Because he simply don't care. He's good enough to win. Even if he could be at least 2x better.

[@mihajlorakic5405]

He doesn't love media not the basketball, he cares a lot

[@rotciv1492]

Well, the thing is, he is two things: 1. A Big man. 2. A smart man. In NBA, even during playoffs, games are played in series instead of a knock-out, which means that even though those games are intense, they're not nearly as intense as they could be. Which means that even during peak season, you can abide your time, save energy, observe, and just strike when the iron is hot. It's not like in the Olympics or the Euroleague finals, where teams gamble everything every single game, and if they lose, they're out. The stakes in those games are the highest. There's no space for bs, wasted possessions or personal egos. And during those games, players play out of their minds, or sometimes just crumble by the pressure and the intensity. And in Jokic's case, he is mainly an NBA player, where high stakes games are very rare. So he doesn't need to turn crazy in order to win, not to mention that if he ever did that, he could risk injury. And being a big man as he is, that could end up very bad for him. So he just keeps his pace, comfortably entering his own zone whenever he needs to.

[@PrzemekM25]

The answer to why his skills are so great, passing, field survey, throwing, may seem strange to people from the US, but it is because in Europe, in schools, every team sport is played, football, handball, Basketball, volleyball. Due to this, the range of skills and coordination is much higher than that of US players. It is often the case that even a good footballer or handball player changes the discipline, e.g. at the age of 16 or even 18. In Poland it was, for example, Marcin Gortat, who played football until he was 18.

Giannis and the Joker are my two favorite players

[@dejanjuhanovski9504]

Gilbert Arenas was never as good a player as Jokic is today...Arenas was a better scorer and that's it...many hated Jokic not just because he is a "white dude" but because he is a white dude and from Europe.many Americans, especially the black dudes, can't believe that a guy like Jokic or Nowitzki or the Gasol brothers are and were simply better at basketball than many of the Americans

[@JackSchitt-p9t]

It's easy to measure vertical and speed and all that, but how do you measure the ability of someone's hands? That's what makes Jokic elite. He would be a top 5 center in the league just by size and intelligence, but the shooting and passing are like Steph. It can come out unorthodox but the ball goes where he means it to go. He never misses a pass or a shot by a mile, no matter how tough it is, he aims small and misses small.

[@jaycepero8069]

When kiss ass media said using a second round pick on Bronny was no big whoop, someone should have reminded them Joker was a second round pick.

[@NoLandGod]

If the kids are watching basketball then they are watching jokic ball on their favorite teams. Kids know a bad man when they see one

[@MJRubber-w9t]

It's true sadly. Jokic isn't flashy unlike LeBron on his prime dunking on everybody like unlike Steph shooting and he already knows it's going in midflight so it is indeed true like dude Stockton went under the radar for so long till they start giving the MJ problems in the finals like Stockton's awareness with the whole court enabled him to be unbeatable on his steals and his assists can't be touched "maybe one day if Jokic remains healthy" but no one remembers Stockton for the Wizard he is so it's just the reality of stuff but it's OK since people that knows basketball knows Jokic is the real deal and can't take that away from him.

Jokic has what it takes in basketball to make him shine above the majority. He reminds me of Pistol Pete Maravich way back in the late 1960s when he played college basketball and threw three-pointers, though he garnered only two points for every basket. Yet he broke all the records until recently....

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

he reminds me of a better bill walton on offense (obviously walton is an alltime great defender and jokic is an alltime meh defender but the passing and how/where he posts up from is similar)
