Respect this man !
the number of no calls on Jokic this post season is insane.
He lost so why u posting this
They done gave the wrong big man the mvp lol
F. Dusseldorf-Kiel
first half over 1,5 goals
Odds: 2,2
He deserved 3xMVP but OK, market is a market.
This is ridiculous jokic nearly had a 30/20/20 game 🔥 woooooow
17 assists from a center is absolutely INSANE my god
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳💯
He got to be the only big man in history to do this….$hit just ridiculous https://youtube.com/@thehighlightwizard4044
Real MVP 2023
Forgive them Jokic for they know not what they did 🙏
The only MVP
But he was not deserving an mvp right ?
Embid mvp🤣🤣🤣
I'm starting to believe Gobert is a much better center than Ayton. 4 points from him when their bench is so limited is not going to cut it, because KD and Booker aren't going to go for 80 every single night. Otherwise, Jokic and the Nuggets are going to end this series in 5.
Apparently wearing 15 in denver gives you super powers
Title is all wrong. It's not 'HUGE TRIPLE-DOUBLE''.
It's the best no1 GOATlike Trible-Double in NBA history (for playoffs) and it was done by a center (non athletic-white-underrated – underdrafted – center from one of the oldest countries in the world – SERBIA).
Top 10 players of all time in NBA. Going for top 3 now!
30 17 and 17 and still losing is crazy. That just shows how good Booker and KD are because that is insane!
Jokic is hungry for the finals mvp 🤭
MVP 🏈🏀
Those are video game numbers.
Nasty just nasty but they lost
This is the TRUE MVP.
This was probably his best season in his career and he didn’t win mvp 🤦🏽♂️
This dude is the real MVP
The refs have something personal against jokic the amount of things allowed to do on jokic is ridiculous
Who's the real mvp?!😎
30/20/20 is coming
If his team could stop missing shots, he'd have 25 assists.
Jokic needs to drop 70. I know hes all about involving the team and whatnot but those shots werent landing
Here you can see Booker run into a Serbian oak tree @ 1:30
I watched the game and could not believe what I witnessed,One man army,same as game 2.
Idemo doktore do titule🏆🤙👑
MVP this season for me not Embiid!!!!
MVP❤❤❤
Scored and assisted for about 70 out of 114 points. And they you tell me how Embid is the MVP when he scores 40 out of Philly's 120.
sad he's got no support from anybody except gordon
Playoff Murray is not sufficient at all to win the series. One game good shooting efficiency was not enough, playoff murray should contribute more points to help the people MVP Jokic amzing performance in next game4, otherwise, the suns will eliminate from the semi final. After game1, nuggets fans -Playoff Murray is so scary, yead maybe he scary at home but not scary enought at the road
That’s a Monster Performance 💯
Grandmaster of the game, he does it so easily.
