Joker has fully matured this offseason and looks tougher than before🔥
He has never averaged a triple double for an entire season. This could be the first one after so many close misses.
Nuggets should be Jokic and Westbrook team oriented. Murray needs to be the two guard shooting and scoring when needed. That’s the formula.
LEGS thanks for NOT being Biased and just be fair with your Jokic Takes, May God bless you,🙏Amen
Luka being ass first 10 games gives Jokic the boost
They will name the MVP award after Jokic if he can turn Brodie into a net positive!
If you watch body language, Luka really sucks the team spirit out. Instead of rallying his teammates, he's almost about to stomp his feet. Watch the times Jokic is matched up against him on defense and looks like he's going to throw hissy fit when he couldn't do anything to stop him from scoring or passing to an open man—raises his arms like 'wtf man' while staring at his mates. Not the leadership quality you want out of your franchise player.
Zivela Srbija: Nikola Jokic, Nikola Tesla, Djokovic, Mileva Einstein Maric.
Turns out, Westbrook will be an upgrade over Bruce Brown and CB over KCP.
It's all good.
The only for the nuggets is the consistency of the other players. If they are atleast 70-80% consistency as jokic. They will be a legit threat in the west. Something which i dint think was the case before the start of the season.
If Jokic can stay healthy this season, we're looking at an all-timer, folks!
Denver figured it out better against Kyrie at the very end, and that was changing to Braun on Luka and Watson on Kyrie.
Been sayin for 3.5 yrs now that Jokic is best player of the last 25 years after (& along with) LeBron and ppl wanted to argue with me!
LeBron & Jokic impact the game like no players since 90s MJ Hakeem. You can argue 2000-02 prime Shaq as well but that was a 3yr run not a (once this year is over) 5yr run.
The all around best, most impactful players of my lifetime (early 80s baby watching basketball 40 yrs) in no order
MJ LeBron Hakeem Bird Magic Jokic!
The fact ppl tried to deny Jokic’s greatness the last 4-5 yrs so corny to me. He’s making it more inevitable every game even though if you really know you’re stuff he’s been great since 1st team all NBA in 2018-19 and God tier since 2020-21!
Jokic since 2020-21?

PS why didn’t you talk about my boy Mathurin 38 and averaging 24 & 8 on elite splits since Carlisle forced to finally consistently start him to let him spread his wings?!?? Is it bc your boy Ben Sheppard didn’t look good until the last 3 late vs Knicks Adam?😅
Haliburton had his best game by far since 1/8/24 hamstring injury as he hasn’t been close to right since then (now back hurt wearin back brace from comin back too soon from hammy injury bc he understandably wanted 40 million All NBA bonus with first yr 65 game minimum though team still should of held him out a little longer to save him from himself) with 35 & 14 assists was dope to see too.
If Jokic arrives at the playoffs shooting the 3 at +40% he's getting another chip.
Luka is not on his level from previous seasons but why not speaking about poor performance from Klay. he should have been third star but fails to deliver.
JOKIC is the most dominant player the game has ever seen. #OurHumbleSerbianKing
If Jokic stays healthy, how long until Denver is the #1 team in the west? I think it will be 2 weeks or less.
The man just looks at his weaknesses every year, and makes it not a weakness anymore. He’s shooting 70% from wide open 3s, and over 50% threes overall
Further, there’s been the stat line 37, 17, 15, once as well, give you a guess who had it.
Westbrook recorded a 35/14/21 just in 2021. They ain’t forget they just wish it wasn’t him anyway carry on
i think after jokic's career ends the mvp award should be named after him
Lets also give huge !!!! Credit to Peyton Watson too he made huge plays and key timing blocks in Denvers wins over Okc and Dallas
Wilt dwarfed those numbers…
