Nikola Jokic WAS DETERMINED 😮 Reaction to Nuggets’ Game 1 win vs. Thunder | SportsCenter
All right, so both road teams in the East take game one. And now the first road team in the West takes game one as the Nuggets come back from 14 out against OKC and Nola Joic just took over this game. It it is it is absolutely incredible the way Nola Joic plays. What really stood out to me was at times, especially early in the game, Nicole Joic was frustrated. He was frustrated with the physicality. Didn’t feel like he was getting the calls he wanted. And what did he do? He just plowed right through it. He played right through it. The determination of Nicole Joic. We were on NBA today and Chane Agum said that this matchup was the immovable object versus the unstoppable force, right? And Nicole Yokic is the immovable object and when he gets that determined mindset, puts the ball on the floor. You see two, three guys from OKC around him, doesn’t matter. He’s putting the ball up, he’s getting to the free throw line, he’s handling that physicality. Nicole Joic to put up those numbers on the road after playing a game seven to play with the poise that he had. I mean, this is a championship team. They know what it takes to win a championship. When we talk about this Denver Nuggets group, Jamal Murray, who Aaron Gordon with the big time play at the end, they know what it takes to go the distance. So, this quick turnaround, it didn’t phase the Denver Nuggets because they’ve been there before. All right, we’ll see how both these road teams respond with these series resume on Wednesday. Andrea, we got to have you back again. Always a pleasure. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

just name the MVP award the nikola jokic award lol
This women is fine
As long as they have Jokic. Denver is a tought team to beat.
Isaiah Joe, Isaiah Hartenstein, Isaiah the prophet, it don't matter – fat boy on top.
JOKER MVP x5
Real MVP
LeESPN still asking who's the face of the league like Jokic hasn't been the best player in the league for 5 years already
MVP 🃏😊
I LOVE how when Jokic shines, Perk the racist, and Steven a rat faced loudmouth Smith are always nowhere to be seen or at least making his historic games sound less fascinating, but if Joker has a bad night and only does 10-10-15, the annoying tandem is always ready to make news and scream their propaganda. And that pointy beak vulture Nick too. ESPN is so corrupted and it's even hard to watch a full clip of their news… The guys on TNT are so much better and more enjoyable to listen to.
Didn't all ESPN expert looked down Denver before the game started?😂😂😂
Jokic is a unstoppable force, not an immovable object, but I like your spirit
Where is your Embid "MVP" I mean SGA? Where? Pick that rock maybe he is under that one
Also, if Jokic doesen't win MVP, the NBA should burn….. The reward will lose ALL meaning. It will be the 'whatever story media wants to push because it makes more money' reward…. At the moment NBA and ESPN are scripted so much, it feels like WWE….
Where’s Perkins at? I thought he was the genius of this series? ESPN, YOU ARE A JOKE!
Everybody wants to be the MVP until the real MVP shows up
Perk dont know ball at all 😅
Gordon vs Edwards?who will win?
Jokic +/- +16
Shai -15
Jokic could easily get 10 more FT every game. Dude gets hacked and his arms look like he was attacked by wolves.
SEATTLE IS SAFE FROM LIBERAL REPUBLICAN HATE. JOKIC NEVER WILL PLAY IN SEATTLE
