  5. Yeah and an idiot said he wasn't top 5. He knows that wasn't an accident it was to help embid. Flat out Racism. Imagine If woody Paige did that to embid to help Jokic. There's be cities on fire. Racism is fucking disgusting no matter who does it. Mark Jackson should be working at Burger king

  8. Kids should want to be him. Not flashy garbage shooting pull up half court 3's its like being well rounded is a sin. Imagine a durant with jokic game. Please usa basketball make fundamentals great again

  9. jokic has just ONE disadvantage and thats his lack of a flashy athleticism. other than that he has the quickest and highest basketball iq of all , and a great shooting touch paired with rodmans defensive positioning quality to get him a shitload of rebounds. he also established a new form of team basketball he invented soemthiong like a "pointcenter" or "towerguard" just staying somewhere mostly near the freeline for good rebounding and let other players rotate around him like birds. a good 3p shot makes it even more lethal. he shouldnt be called the joker tbh, he is more like a wizard surrounded by his ravens. the denver ravens

  18. That's real MVP, he doesn't cry, he doesn't talk crap, he goes out and do his job in the best way possible, go Nuggets win it all.
