Why Nikola Jokic Is Truly One Of A Kind

[@HoopReports]

In terms of JUST regular seasons, where would you rank Nikola Jokic in all-time great centers?

[@thisismychannel4174]

Top 10 for sure, and people are already arguing that jokic is already a top 10 center of all time, including both reg season and playoffs.

We need to stop discrediting jokic by saying "greatest passing big man," because he is in the conversation for best passer and playmaker in general. Better than 99% of point guards. The only person that comes close is Magic Johnson, and even then, Magic wasn't making the passes that Jokic makes

[@NBGD22]

Nikola Jokic is one of these most dangerous players in NBA because he is a team chemistry maker. His teammates trust him so much as a good teamwork.

[@032HULK]

I remember very well it was the morning of February 2018, I came across a clip that a center broke the record for the fastest triple double in the history of the NBA in 14 minutes of play, since that moment I haven't missed a single one of his games,a true basketball savant and future HOF.

[@oliverastankovic7009]

Exactly! Michael Jordan was an incredible player but he was not interested in passing. LeBron was a great player and he was also unselfish. However, Nikola has it all and that is what makes him a super star!!!

Jokic is an All-Time great player we get to witness live. Like MJ or Kareem levels of greatness.

[@race-abolitionist]

You also gotta give credit to the Nuggets organization for recognizing Jokic’s talents and putting him in the position to do what he does. We have a “baby Jokic” down in Houston, but the organization doesn’t want him to be the face of the franchise.

[@ThorGodofThunder420]

Not with Mike Malone at head coach. It will never happen.

[@PoloBautista101]

@@ThorGodofThunder420 Tbh I think your trippin, he's an awesome coach. He has established a great culture in this Nuggets team (Part of the ship, part of the crew type vibe) he fights for and loves his players, he's high on accountability and always has been a good dude (he's also coached an all star game they don't give that privilege to anybody). The only knock on Malone is his rotations sometimes. But with the team constructed the sky's the limit

[@tangocash342]

I was born and raised on the Balkans, and for almost 50 years, all hoods have had hoops built by local 5 we used to play even on the snow. That is why, on the Balkans, almost everyone plays basketball. Jokić just plays as we used to play with element of surprise but he have elevated on the highest level.

[@ValDone13]

"one man dominating the NBA" + "glitch in the matrix" is exactlly the definition of Nikola Jokic.. the last time i saw a big man dominating the NBA was Shaquille O´Neal and he was a brute force unbeneath the rim, but the Joker is totally absurd how easy he finds his tm8s with insane QB passes and his touch from every spot is unreal. i really loved watching Shaq destroying everything but Nikola is far beyond that, cause he destroys the whole team, every team in almost every game. 🐐🐐🐐

[@bradhicks5558]

Always enjoy your content. World-class. And I believe you answered your own question in your video analysis. In the regular season, Nikola Jokic, statistically, is the greatest all-time center. The absolute ONLY reason that anyone would believe otherwise is that the Joker doesn't physically LOOK the part and rarely dunks ... like maybe Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq, or even Walton.

[@travisnoffsinger4507]

Jokic is an amazing talent, and theres no denying it at this point. 💯

[@mlrd2687]

Lebron with Jokic's physical predispositions would not be a starter on any NBA team, and Jokic with Lebron's physical predispositions would be the GOAT. Everything that Jordan, LeBron and Chamberlain have accomplished in their careers with their superior physical predispositions is quite expected, and what Jokic has accomplished in his career with his unathletic body is nothing short of a miracle. Jokic is the best passer of all time and people are slowly starting to accept that as a fact. Magic is the second best passer after Jokic, although people don't want to admit it to themselves. Whether Jokic will ever win a championship ring is absolutely irrelevant because he has already greatly exceeded all expectations.

[@jdrive03]

No one wants to say it, and a lot of people won’t say, so I will. It’s 3 reasons why he doesn’t get the love he deserves: 1. He’s white 2. He’s tall and goofy looking 3. He’s also not American… All of which have nothing to do with skill and how good of a basketball player someone can be.

[@cyrillesu]

@@jdrive03 Jokic couldn't be bothered to care about what other people think or say about him, which pretty much gives his haters all the fuel they need to continue criticizing him. Nick Wright in particular targets him a lot because Nick knows that he wouldn't even bother to try and respond to any of his criticisms.

[@JasonSab849]

@@jdrive03 ehh I agree with the later 2 but I don’t think him being white is an issue, what about Luka? Or Steve Nash?

[@ranojutro426]

Yes, you are right. But biggest problem is that he is normal, down to earth, not smoking weeds, no tattoos, no f... celebrity, doesn't have big pumped muscles. Finally NBA realized that you don't need big muscles to lift basketball ball you need brain.

By far the best player in the league, that intro was amazing, and so incredibly accurate, I watch nuggets live games and honestly I feel like his team sucks, is a lottery team and gives up leads if he is ever sitting down, but whenever he’s on nuggets get early 10 point leads, everything he does is just insane, became my favourite player in the 2019-20 NBA season and it’s only went up for him

[@MineFullStop]

Just blows your mind how good he is.

[@dexteros5770]

He is too good for NBA, he should play Euro league

[@edselquisilfabre]

dude, that outro was on lit!

[@pfwag]

Worth noting that the Joker is the only other player in NBA history besides Chamberlin to put up a stat line of at least 40-27-10 and that the Nuggets have won 25 consecutive games when Jokic records a triple-double, the longest such streak in NBA history, passing Magic Johnson and the Lakers from 1984-87. Last season the Joker was the FIRST EVER NBA player with 2K points, 1K rebounds and 500 assists in a season. Chamberlain missed it by 8 points in 1967 O. Robertson missed it by 15 rebounds in 1961 and Abdul-Jabbar missed it by 87 assists in 1975. Other than those three, EVERY other player, past and present, haven't even come close. That makes the Joker one of a kind already.

[@tpstrat14]

just like Nash in his late 20s, Jokic is still becoming a better passer. That's because passing is about intelligence and experience, not athelticism. You could already make a legitimate argument for him as greatest passer of all time and he's still getting better, and by the way he drops 26 per game at 60+%. He's the only player I literally have to watch right now. Other games are optional but when the nuggets are playing I say to my friends "the artist is on tonight". I'll watch by myself if I have to LOL

I love both Jokic and Luka, but it's honestly insane how people outright demand Jokic to win a championship just so everything he's done so far in his career and his case as the best player in the league would be acknowledged by them whereas Luka's putting up the same insane stat lines that the Joker does every game and people are already calling him the future GOAT.

[@coleshelton4191]

because people have eyes and know the difference between 26 ppg and 35.

[@heating4652]

Then how about you add 10 assists per game that on average would add about 25 points as well as 11 Rpg as well. Luka is my guy and all, but even he understands the sheer futility of trying to stop Jokić right now. He improved a ton since that WCF against the Lakers and a healthy AD, where now he ACTUALLY has a decent team of consistent players and not streaky ones like he had during that season. You also, hopefully, understand that 6 other players average double digits for Denver right now - all thanks to one of the best, not centers, but basketball players to EVER play the game. Oldheads and newbloods who know what ball is all about will tell you the same thing. Fuck outta here with the 35 pts average bs and answer my question right now - no. 1 seed in the west is Luka's team yeah? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kilepesic4027]

Good job @Hoop Reports! Not sure where he would stack currently, since he is just in the middle of his career. However, what's interesting about his style of play, which does not depend on athleticism: He can do this for years to come! Even when he gets older and slower... It will make little difference. He will still be able to put up crazy numbers. His next goal should be Championship, and I think as long as Denver remains healthy will be a realistic possibility.

Wilt's 50 point season didn't account for blocks, which weren't counted then. His "real" PR was likely a few numbers higher than 32. Also there wasn't 3PT shot back then, so it doesn't make sense to compare efficiencies between eras. Currently Jokic's PER is 32.5, which is on another MVP-level.

[@allistermcginlay6476]

Just out of curiosity, Wilt Chamberlain's season didn't include all his stats, but are they including all jokic's stats, isn't that an important thing to leave out? It's not that jokics better than Wilt, Bill and Nate and numerous other centres, its that all these skills are counted in this era to make him look great, while the modern nba refuse to acknowledge or accept that a great center can be good in any era? Nate Thurmond during his career 15 points, 15 rebounds couldn't do more in this era? Wilt chamberlain a player who wasn't alone in refusing to score from long range (3 points distance) because it was a low percentage shot, while video evidence exists that Wilt was absolutely able to make shots from range, a skill that he never practiced. If jokic is good today imagine how impressive a centre like Wilt chamberlain would be in today's game, when he not only has his 1960s skill-sets but all his blocks, assists, steals and 3 point (long range) scoring are added, he would make Jokic look normal! The sober truth is while centers like jokic are rare in the modern nba, its simply a falsehood that jokic's one of a kind, the modern NBA, sportswriters and the media have failed to convince anyone who saw the centers of the past and I don't mean Shaquille, that Wilt or Bill are anomalies in skills and winning because they played in a none recorded era both on video and on half the stats that make up Jokic's numbers to make him look more unbelievable than what he his!

PER statement isnt as valid as you think it is. Not to downplay jokic or anything he is a phenomenal player (although im a giannis fan) but the game now is way different than when wilt MJ or prime lebron played with statistics now being inflated due to the defenses being more ineffective and stats like PER taking into account (in my knowledge) stuff like passing scoring blocks steals rebounds. Scoring now is way easier as stated multiple times by players and analyst's alike and while jokic focuses a lot on passing (being the best passer in this age and maybe the best ever) all the other players you mentioned simply did one thing score and they did it really effectively

[@ivan24zg]

they are absolutely not scoring more effectively than Jokic. If Jokic were volume shooter he would easily average 40, but instead he focuses on the best play possible, and on team winning.
