How Good Is Nikola Jokić Actually?
Nikola Jokic is putting up insane numbers, winning MVPs, and leading the Denver Nuggets to NBA dominance—but just how good is he really? Is he just a stat-stuffing big man, or are we witnessing one of the most skilled players in basketball history?
Jokic is currently averaging a triple-double, making the Nuggets nearly unstoppable whenever he’s on the floor. His court vision, scoring efficiency, rebounding dominance, and basketball IQ have redefined what it means to be a modern center. He’s not just a great player—he controls the game like a chess master, manipulating defenses and making *his teammates better in ways few players ever have.
In this video, we dive into Jokic’s unique playstyle, his historic impact, and whether he deserves to be considered one of the greatest big men ever. We’ll break down his elite passing, scoring, and leadership and analyze what truly makes him the most valuable player in the NBA today.

Do you think Nikola Jokic will become a top-five player all-time?
Geez, everyone knows it should've been 4.
You missed one important number for this season, Jokic almost doesnt play 4th quarter. This crazy numbers would be even more ridiculous if he played more because he has stamina to play more. He deserved 5 back to back MVPs
Oce ko na basket? Jokara je institucija
I believe he can also play defense, but he doesn't think it's nessecary yet. Maybe in the finals?
How many more of those Is Joker really that good-vids do we need? Are people blind? YES, he is…what else is he supposed to do to convince the last doubter? Fly through the air or suddenly become invisible on the court like the Predator? Dude is delivering superhuman performances every game night and you're still asking how good he is? Haters will never see the truth, otherwise the orange dude wouldn't have become POTUS again. 😏
Одлична анализа на Никола. Прекрасен играч. Гледаме историја. 💪
I absolutely love all the footage of him so young
Also happy birthday to Jokic!! We share birthdays lol
Hoop Central how many videos you going to make about Jokic or the Nuggets this month?
Hoop Central: Yes.
the critics have dwindled. it's not hard to see the one of a kind greatness. it's the highest level of play. you have to give it to him or you just look stupid
sga is 2025 mvp
Bro said the next Luka like Luka was drafter years before when jokic was drafted 2 years before😭
i legit dont understand how anyone argue he's not the GOAT. its just unreal how he does it
He has incredible historic numbers and doing all of that while having lots of fun-fact that most players dont have and its really important. Most NBA stars are spoiled brats, babies that need attention, lots of money and spotlight on them all the time if you want them to play good-its just stupid. Nikola doesnt need that at all-just pure inteligence, talent and fun, simple. its the big difference between him and the rest od these diva greedy stars that make NBA attractive and americans celebrate them-really stupid but what can you do, its just the way it it. JOKARA JE BRAT NAJVECI!
Jokic is on the same level as Michel Jordan and Lebron
Genius, smarter than any other player on the field
Numbers dont lie.
I've been watching basketball since the 1980s and he's the best basketball player I've ever seen
The answer is very
Goat! His game is dynamic social constructivism
Denver defense goes up when he’s on the court. His offense goes up when he’s on the court. He has a good defense when he’s on the court and terrible defense when he’s not on the court the best offense when he’s on the court, the worst offense when he’s off the court Give me a break. He may not be Hakeem defensively but he’s damn good defensively he got quick hands he gets in the passing lanes. Also when he’s off the floor they’re not good defensively when he’s on the floor they’re good defensively.
And now,
Compare évolution with Wemby…
Joker is a lion
Wemby will be a dragon !
Both are absurd anyway !
😅
Hi guys, if you could name 3 standout games from Jokic this season that I could go watch, what would they be?
#NotMyMVP
I think he is already in top 5 ever…those highlights though…lasts for hours, every move is a highlight. The guy is a circus
And may end up in GOAT debate, after that 3 shot attempt and since those numbers he drops daily for granted are just magic…he is unreal to the level that it's not fair anymore..
Numbers say that he's by far Goat without any doubts, us, emotional people.. won't forget flying Mike never…True that…But statistics is …facts. like it or not
Well, second option in Nuggets is Murray who never been allstar. We only can imagine, if Jokic been traded to team from bigmarket, and have better team… how much rings they would have
VOTER FATIGUE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE.
He is now in the goat debate. Already has 3 MVPs (should have been 4), and possibly another one this season. Only issue people bring up is rings. But think about it: Jokic isn't part of a dynasty with mastermind coaches unlike Jordan, O'neal, Lebron, Curry, Bird, Kobe, Duncan, Magic, and others. Give him a Pippen, McHale, Wade, Durant, etc., and it wouldn't even be fair.
Top 5 in steals, not defense?
But he is white so there will still be that area of concern against him.
videos of how good jokic is every day on youtube lol
Happy birthday Big Honey, one of the best we've ever seen.
Should have been 4
goddamn man, we get it. at least try talking about other players or teams when your name is called “hoops central”
So luka doesn't sign extension with lakers. He will be in denver, then shit will get real.
Poetic
How you put it is perfect my man. He's a point guard who guards centers. 👋👋👋👋👋👋
Fake AI ass voice regurgitating stale takes. Quit wasting people's time.
中国是约基奇最大的粉丝基地。
He was never obsessed with basketball. He was just too talented, and put in a lot of work.
people need to understand that center cant always jump like that and look what happened to embiid lol
jokic is basically kung fu panda 😮
He should be around 10-12 All Time, but his stupid front office has still not given him a single All Star teammate. And only 1 team (with his stupid team) won't allow him to be universally be viewed as top 12.
Pretty clear that he's the best passer in game's history. Already.
G…O…A…T…
Jokic was never obsessed with basketball at a young age, his brother's pushed him to keep practicing and getting better because they knew how good he was.
MV4!
Better than old Lebron but not prime Lebron. just a fact ❤️💯
