  1. Jokic is the most offensively gifted basketball player (in size and skill) since Lebron James. He plays with finesse and offers so much and so consistently. I hope he has a very long career.

  2. I've been watching the NBA since 1970 and was a huge Kareem fan, but I've never seen any player be more productive and impactful on a consistent basis than Jokic.

  3. They're testing that man's patience and Jokić isn't going to complain but keep playing. Chuck was right on Tuesday when he said the Nuggets are wasting this man's prime by not getting another superstar and not letting key bench player's leave. Jamal is a very bi-polar player and it seems it's true what they say, he'll only show up when they play the Lakers 🤣🤣

  4. Get some help to Joker!!!! Asap. This is once in a generation miracle man.
    Denver is an average team without Nikola, he needs a great point guard.

  5. Cavaliers got this game with 3pts shooting.
    They attempted 48, made 22 for 66pts.
    Nuggets attempted 22, made only 6 for 18 points.

    That is 48 points difference. Too big for any team.

    So, is NBA now a 3pts show game (in order to win)?

  6. My all time list goes in tiers by decade because I believe it’s unfair to compare stats, accomplishments, championships of players from different eras because the game has changed so much and it’s a team sport .

    Tier 1 Greatest of all Time
    60s Russell (career) Wilt (peak)
    70s Kareem peak in career
    80s Magic (career) Bird (peak)
    90s Jordan peak and career
    00s Duncan (career) Shaq (peak)
    10s LeBron peak and career
    20s Jokic in progress peak and career.

    Tier 2
    60s West/Baylor
    70s Dr J (w ABA career) Walton (peak)
    80s Moses
    90s Hakeem
    00s Kobe
    10s Steph (career) Durant (peak)
    20s Giannis/Luka/Tatum/SGA in progress

    If you want to put those 10 players in tier 1 in order that’s ok but I just don’t think you can compare them all and Jokic undoubtedly deserves to be in tier 1 at least for his peak these last 5 years winning possibly these year 4 out of 5 MVPs and it’s sad because I know some people don’t think he’s tier 1 because he only has 1 championship but that is only to do with the team around him being hurt or clearly not being good enough. I hope his peak isn’t wasted .

  7. 1 ft is absolutely egregious and the NBA just doesn't care. No, I dont think thats WHY they lost, but giving him a fair shake can change the pace, and course of the game. Not to mention, just be a fairly officiated game. Its genuinely unreal and he was noticeably hacked at least 2-3 times, and if he was a lot of different superstars, would get another 4-5 ticky tack calls. How he's reffed continues to be a complete anomaly.

  8. Congrats but let’s be real if Magic never went through that HIV bs, he would’ve been the all time leader in triple doubles even tho it would still be broken

  9. To think he was drafted 41st overall, and even in the 2nd round as the 11th pick is insane. But hindsight is 20/20. He's so good that you can cut this game's stats in half and you'll still get 13.5 pts 10 rebounds 5 assists .. and that's not even his career best. Yet for some reason I find him boring….

  10. You can call me crazy but we are witnessing greatest player ever played in the making, if he continues to play better every next season, nobody will ever dominate game the way he dominate, with all respect to all greats, they all was special for particular aspect of game, Jokic is special in all those categories… Never was player like him and i guess will never been..

  11. One of my faves & one of the greatest, however all BIG MAN records are tainted & diluted by modern rules. Kareem would school him. Hakeem would sometimes embarrass him. Wilt would give him 50. Shaq would give him 40. BBQ chicken. Haven’t even mentioned other great centers & many great PF’s. Jokic isn’t to blame. Even triple doubles are more meaningless DUE TO MODERN RULES (NO GREAT CENTERS, carry/travel ON NEARLY EVERY PLAY, far too many 3’s yet can’t outscore highest PPG historic teams (because they all think they’re Curry). More meaningless.
