When someone in the comments says they don’t understand his “Jokic obsession” they are just admitting that they don’t watch nuggets and don’t know basketball
Okc are frauds. Refs didn't let them constantly reach and foul and sga flopping anymore. EXPOSED.
I totally disagree with the Giannis jokic debate it’s opinion based
Jokic has Never been better yhan Giannis Giannis is Elite on both ends of the Floor
Stop the narrative BS
The Jokic fandom is unbelievable. Giannis is the best player in the world.
I watched free(espn)feed…no stats, no commentary. One thing was clear YA got ANYTHING he wanted and had every rebound available, besides getting foul calls constantly.
Jokic is the better offensive player..than Giannis
but Giannis is way better on defense ..Giannis has DPLOY level performances in his bag
and can completely change games with defensive performances
For me Giannis has been better ..and has been more impactful…especially if you consider the turn around they have.
the NBA really dont care about defense right now
In no universe is Jokic better than Giannis
Both Giannis and Doc had some really interesting comments about working on Giannis initiating the offense out of the high post. I think it adds a really great dimension to their half-court offense. Giannis has always been incredible in transition but when facing a "wall" has been prone to turnovers, and has never been a great low-post scorer when the game slows down. The high post gives him more vision for playmaking and still gives him the space to spin and drive if the shot blocker is out of position. Not to mention his improved elbow jumper.
Giannis has ALWAYS been better than Joker. He’s definitely the MVP favorite but yall keep making up weird narratives for the other guy 😂
for all the points jokic creates he gives up about half that on the other end
Its a bad matchup for okc..okc lacks size and focuses more on smaller quicker players which would have been advantageous on offence if they weren't shooting bricks.. And on defence they put insane ball pressure and try to force turnovers to overcome their lack of size which is a hit or a miss depending how the other team reacts. Bucks kept the ball safe and made the right passes.
90% how not to lose. Ill do it. Good win, bucks!
wait are you saying the solution for okc was to shoot more 3s?
Bucks fans in here so mad about Jokic getting the attention
No one is acknowledging Doc's coaching when they win huh?
The NBA cup reminds me of weekend softball tournaments my daughters played in. There’s a champion every week! 🤣
No sound
I forget who was the finals mvp and conference mvp in east but nike media only talk about tatum lmal
Thunder were up by 1 at Half time. They had 3 in double digits st that point. The excuses are soo dumb from the media
We all celebrate Jokic's defensive effort! Like all that energy is for free…😉
Salty bucks fans crying at the sound of "Jokic" this season makes me laugh every time. Embiid fans rightly cowered away into the dark finally, glad to see yall took the open spot.
Lol the salty Joker comments here.
Giannis drive to winning is simply hugher than jokic
Mailbag question: firstly thanks for your videos, super entertaining and informative – really appreciate the hard work! So many of the stats I hear about Jokic's greatness are related to BPM and on off numbers which are crazy! Because Jokic is vast majority playing with starters, how is this particularly a testament to Jokic as opposed to the whole unit? I think I'm missing something, thank you!
Jokic isn't near Giannis level bud. Defense is 50% of the game, and Giannis is a hell of a lot better than him at that end of the floor! Offensively, Giannis has been the most dominant player in the nba, able to drop no less than 20 ppg on no less than 50+% fg this season ! No other player can say that.
Mailbag question: what do you think of darvin ham's words about the lakers. I personally think his words prove exactly why he couldn't be a lakers coach or a coach of any serious basketball team, only being satisfied with the past and being too relaxed to focus on the present
hahaha with this level of play Giannis just achieved to be in a comparison discussion with Jokic !!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe these comments especially from people that are or suppose to be experts !
