Stop it. Joker is top Three in four stats This year. Points, rebounds, assists and steals. Plus he is shooting 43% from three. He is doing it all.
Nick young is as ,$,+,,u,p,!,d, as youd expect him to be.
Nick Young is a walking child of an oxymoron and a paradox.
Nick young is a F-O-O-L!! Nikola Jokic demoralizes teams.
A vote SMH your own awards show decorate the set invite nominees
Jokic MVP
Jokic is out of shape and yet not one single player can hold him in the post. He can literally back down anyone.
Nick is not too smart…. And just doesn’t like Jokic game and probably that he ain’t black….
Gail you wrong this man got all stars on his team they just playing they role right now Gill I rock with you but bro you wrong right now bro
Get Rashad of the show he talks a bunch of nonsense
This convo not gonna age well, even through the rest of the season, but especially as the years go on and we begin to really appreciate the player that was prime Joker.
They are so pissed that a white dude put up those numbers 😂😂😂
thanks for keeping it real 😂
30 20 20 braaaaate how?
This is why you cant always rely on NBA players to give an opinion and automatically say it matters more than someone else’s. Nick Young is an absolute dumbass😂
If they don’t give it to Joker he jus gone win the chip again 😂 I’m fine wit dat! Let SGA have his “here nigga damn” award
Right at the end, Gil realized Joker is the MVP but couldn't actually say it outloud. Look at the pain in his face…he knows it.
When joker wins another championship or two, they gonna say hes just "championship padding" now.
Nick young career totals don't approach what jokic did in that one game
Shai MVP? Yeah, you can talk about it. Jokic MVP? Nothing to talk about, everything is shown in game. Jokic for MVP all day. #jokicmvp
Is Nick Young that meme dude? Why is he talking about Jokic like he isn’t ahead of SGA in most stat lines—and just dropped 38/18/8 last night against one of the best defenses? This is pure racism and comes from haters who can’t stand his success. ✌🏼
That boi swaggy p a jokic hater 30,20, 20 never done before but yet that’s not the harder thing to do
There's a lot of great "bigs" right now. It's just the game has evolved and a lot of these guys play the 3 or 4. Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, AD, KD, Wemby, Chet, Sabonis, Gobert… All of these guys are minimum 6'10. If they were playing in the 90s they'd all be bumped up a position
Aye McCants a lil slow LMAO
saying denver is a playoff team without Joker is wild. think before you speak dude. OKC has way more players than the Nugz.
Just like they stole the MVP from jokic and gave it to embiid they gonna do the same thing this year and give it to sga cause jokic is white. Unbelievable.
Damn Jokic tied for 2nd in the league in steals doesn't get talked about enough. That's crazy too. 2nd in both assists and steals. 3rd in both points and rebounds. He's literally doing the jobs of both a 1st team all-NBA PG and C. Plus he's shooting 43% from 3P, over 80% FT and over 62% from 2P. So he's elite efficiency from all 3 levels. Jokic is literally peak basketball. You can't get better than this. If he was averaging 2+ blocks he'd literally be a 100% complete player. That's the only thing he's missing at all from doing everything at an elite, all-NBA level
I bet no player has ever finished a regular season top 3 in 4/5 of the primary box stats: points, rebs, asts, stls, blks
the level of scoring or rebounding is not normal for any big besides maybe a few others in history gil
when you have the level of moron that Nick Young is on your show, you make everybody else look like a genius
If Gilberta says it you know it's wrong, dudes dumber than a brick
Mangoon😂
Nick be contradicting himself every other sentence, stop smoking so much weed fool
These guys look so sad about Jokic being the best player in the world. Honestly love it.
"Still not MVP for me…" says a lot about how little this dude actually knows about basketball… Dude… Jokić has literally one of the worst teams in the NBA around him. He has ZERO top 75 players, SGA has 6… SIX!!!! Out of those six, 3 are top 35. And we are not even counting Holmgren because he's not eligible due to the games played. SGA is comfortable taking crazy shots because he knows that one of his teammates will clean his shit up if and when he screws up. Jokić does not have that luxury. His team is dead last when he's not on the floor and first when he's on the floor. That's impact, not what SGA is doing.
How dumb are some of these guys? Holy shit. Not sold on Jokic? Clown world. Wonder if he wasn’t a Euro if these idiots would think different.
SGA is a great player, but unfortunately, it's Joker's era. It would be a crime if Jokic is not crowned with the MVP award. Another robbery.
Swaggy P is dumb because Jokic would dominate in previous eras too. He already gets hit and scratched up all game and has the worst whistle. He would actually be allowed to defend more because he avoids fouling other players in this era
Swaggy looked at that graphic and still making excuses lmao
Y’all act like it’s hard for a guy like Jokic to get 30-20-20 in this soft league today 😂 going against a 7’3 220 plbs soak and wet where this guy 7ft 284 plbs so the 30-20 easy the 20 assist well he’s surrounded by good players he should b able to get 30-25-30 especially if the guys hitting shots
I don't care who wins this MVP, but its funny watching guys argue against joker trying to go around what their real motivations are.
Anyone who says Joker isnt MVP shouldnt be talking about Bball. 💯 MVP4 cant stand Nick Young.
Nick a hater fr
Because Shaq can't do a 30/20/20 Nick! 😂
Who is this Nick guy?? 😑👎🏼
is… is nick a moron????😳
He is also tied with SGA in steals. Everyone talks about SGA’s defense. What about Nikola ??? Hmmm?!?!? Come one now!!!
Swaggy P is in Denial and that's not a river in Egypt!
They talk about Joker all the time
Nah telling the greatest passing big ever to get off the ball is insanity xD
Most of these people don't even know what MVP stands for. You are not an MVP just because you can score. MVP means you contribute the most, this should 100% stat based.
