"Brother.. I am inevitable!!"
Jokic is the Larry bird to Antman’s MJ
Tim Duncan was so great because the players around him WANTED to play their best TEAM BALL. Jokic's Top 'skill' is the exact same dynamic. You gotta big who can dish, play point, play post, drain 3's … And like Duncan: Jokic would rather include his teammates.
So it gets contagious. Manu X Factor might not be the same, but 'special sauce' of Pope, Gordon, MJP, Holiday, Braun with superstar Murray… They really shouldn't lose to anyone when they are clicking.
RJ and JJs banter cracks me up. I hope JJ does accomplish something someday
This has been a weird series, not many like it. 0-2 hole at home to come back would be crazy. A similar series to this was the 2017 Celtics-Bulls series. Bulls gave Celts a scare but, Boston won the next 4 after the 0-2 hole. That was a tough Bulls team.
JOKIC > LEBRON
Nice work guys.
No one buys that Jj wears his hats backwards so he doesn't show unapproved logos.
Appreciate you guys flirting for the first few minutes but let’s skip that next time
When will the Jokic haters stop digging when they are in quicksand
Cant curse on a live stream?? Wtf is the Internet turning into 🙄 24:30 oh so its because of DKs? A gambling company doesnt want you to curse 😂😂😂 thats gols
Re-reading the live stream chat gave me a migraine. So many weirdos in there.
everyone is so quick to point out how rudy "wasnt effective" in Utah as if he wasnt playing with some of the worst defenders in the NBA (mitchell, Bogdanovic, Conley and JOE INGLES) lmaoooo it was so easy to gameplan against utah and get rudy away from the basket in the playoffs
No need tongues children are watching not good role model to cuss yo
If you're only interested in the nuggets part of this, go to 17:00
Every single team in the league tried every tactic they have and thrown multiple bodies at this guy and he cooked them. I think I had only seen 2 guys in the league who have SOME success on Jokic.
Jokic ERA
Alec burks just earned himself one more nba contract
The east is. joke. Why even talk about the games?
Jokic is Shaq’s daddy…
Jamal Murray is GOATED.
JJ knows how to get viewers with that LIVE bs lol
26:40 notice defense goes unnoticed……. Beautiful
this is a great duo.
Is it just me or does RJ try too hard to be funny sometimes
Not a questions but ………..I think you ought to notice that Hartenstein is the hub of their offense beyond his rebounding. He is the pressure relief for Brunson especially. Great passer and decision maker with the ball
I'm always afraid to click on these videos during the week, because I don't want to rewatch the same part in the longer video at the end of the week. I'm sure this one won't be, I'm learning but just wished there was more of an understanding if these videos during the week are still part of the other one. Don't want to miss anything! 👍✌️
Swearing is important!! Dont mute yourself!
LOL how can the black commentators always end up mixing in Embid ('I am on the bench injured') ???
RJ is such a perfect fit I love live aspect
Love it or hate it, we’re witnessing the Nuggets dynasty right now. I can see Luka taking over but he has another level to get to which is insane to say too ( free throws , whining at every play resulting to defensive lapses)
U and Richard is the greatest duo in media
Tyrese has fell off since his injury idk what happened he was so consistent before at scoring and passing and Siakam also kind of feels like it made him worse
Let’s give jokic D’Angelo Russell, Spencer dimwittie, rui hachamura and Gabe Vincent and then we’ll see if he’s ‘the best player in the world’
Draft kings needs to get their heads out of their own asses, these guys can’t cus on a Freeform live stream on the internet, but your company literally sells gambling. You can’t be selective in your vices, if one’s ok, they’re all ok.
Hell yeah! Shout out Alec Burks! Dude deserves recognition
Come to the Lakers JJ please!
RJ is the perfect Co-Host for JJ 💥🤌🏼
Would love JJ and RJ to pod together – the roasting would be top notch.
Good defense but simply better offense.
While looking in JJ's eyes…."I just can't think of any really good shooters off the top of my head" 😂😂
Time stamps lol
Jokic is better than Lebron James. To change the topic, first thing to consider in the best of the best is beauty of moves, grace, and captivating and stats comes next. Lebron has none. His passing is superior but that’s it.
Title is about Jokic and over half the video is about the Knicks 😐
I just love how the title to this video is about Jokic and these two spend the first half of the show talking about the Knicks. Who really GAF about the Knicks, besides people in NYC?
Haliburton isn't a #1
Joker-Gobert match-up "kind of" looks like Shaq vs Mutombo in The Finals.
