  1. I hate him. Hate. The look on his face. The effortless flicking of the ball. The Rudolph red nose. The awkward "celebrations". The vanilla of his game. All of it. He's like a white david Robinson which leads me to believe it's a san Antonio thing.

  3. In my 60 years of life I've never seen a better basketball player than Nikola Jokic. Passing, ball handling, rebounding, defense, shooting 2-pointers and 3-pointers, and driving to the basket.

  9. Amazing how the slowest person on the floor and least athletic person by a landslide can dominate the series. Really is a testament to how good he is.

  12. His celebration after KCP got the and1 really tells you how much he cares about making his teammates look good. He doesn't celebrate like that earlier when he made an and1 himself.

  14. That oop to Gordon was fantastic and ESPN's terrible commentary did it absolutely no justice

  15. If Nikola was American, he would be considered basketball God by media and fans 100%.

    There is still a lot of separation, corruption and racism everywhere i look, and it makes me truly sad. 😢

  21. I love this guy. No drama, no antics, no flashy BS. Just a stone-cold master of the fundamentals of the game of basketball that can't be stopped by anybody.

  35. This is masterclass of how to play in playoffs in modern era at center position. But for Jokic this is another day in the office. He is absurdly good. Level of the greatest centers of all time. Hope he gets chip this year.
