Jokic is clearly the best player in the world. He is better than Embiid and definitely better than Giannis. His consistency, dominance, basketball IQ and leadership separates him from the rest. Without a doubt, he is the best player post-Lebron era.
Wow
Damn, I really want my glorious greek freak king giannis antetokounmpo to win mvp but the Joker is looking a little too nice ๐ฎ
Those are MONSTER numbers
I wish embid didn't get hurt because now i legit don't know who the MVP is lol giannis, shai, luka, and jokic are so close in this race. Just your turn, my turn, each night
4 peat MVP ๐
Defensive player of the year
If jokic ends his career with 4 rings I promise he will be considered top 3 player ever
I present to you the 2024 MVP
Joker at this point locked for this years MVP no way around it ๐
When this dude starts banging with the defenders hes so big and long there's no way for the opposition to stop whats coming
Greatest player in the world right now hands down. My all time favorite player is Steph, but what we are witnessing with Jokic is undeniable and extraordinary. When itโs all set and done, he may go down as a top 10 or top 5 player all-time, certainly the greatest big man of all-time.
MV3!
Your future 3x MVP and back to back champion and FMVP.
Iโm a huge Thunder fan and as much as I love SGA, I think Jokic deserves the MVP
A game that really shined a light on the psychology of the Jokic era Nuggets. They always want to be doubted and be the underdog and playing from behind. After everybody anointed them the best team in the league after beating Boston twice and Jokic the clear MVP they came out with an abysmal and laughable 1st half effort v a trash Toronto team. So this team in every way. The pattern for the last 6 years. Then they do their flip the switch thing and crush. I think a Jokic and Malone and Murray thing. Not enough space here to explore the thought.
Damn he actually had a lot of great defensive plays in this vid too, started at least 4 fast breaks
๐
These Numbers are actually insane
He's definitely HIM!
Joker got guts
Joker got some guts
bro hes playing simple basketball at an ELITE level
Joker's triple double numbers are insane in the membrane!
Jokic wtf!?
its funny to think that his defense has actually been serviceable this year
even if Embiid was playing hed still be the MVP
So effortless ๐
An absolutely insane offensive performance, and then he gets 6 steals and 2 blocks on the other end like actually goated
Jokicโs 21st 3/2 this season if you wanted to know.
GOATIC and HIMal Murray turned these Raptors into extincted fossils. Dino DNA!!!! ๐
I was watching this game live. Still cannot believe what I saw.
MVP race is done. If keep this historical run of him surely he will win. This will be like the MVP of Russ but better because it translate to wins.
He want that 3rd (4th) MVP
I want sga to win mvp bc I know there won't be too many more chances, but I just don't see how he'll ever get the edge on joker๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
How about James and harden mouthtouch tripple double always got eggs for playoff and finals
MVP
MPJ lookin' like prime Stockton
The starting 5 are a cheat
if he gets mvp & fmvp this season, he's automatically in GOAT convo.
Period.
Easily will be top 10 ALL TIME
