everyone knows that jokic isnt an amazing defender, especially in terms of rim protection, but i dont think people realize that if he had the body of someone like giannis, he'd easily be one of the greatest defenders ever. he has the anticipation, the hands, the positioning, on top of just knowing plays ahead of time. he just needs the body
This is what an actual high IQ player looks like unlike the self proclaimed GOAT and high IQ player who from most of the time just stands doing nothing
…the Nuggets have lost 6 games in a row to the Wolves dating back to the 2024 playoffs.
Kinda hard to describe someone as "shutting down a team" when they've lost to them 6 times in a row. I mean sure it's cool he knows some of their inbounds plays, but it ultimately isn't enough for his team to win
Jokic is a great player. As a Minnesota fan, I love seeing the recognition of our guys. It’s also a damn shame Westbrook threw away that 60 point triple-triple Jokic got in double OT 💀
Bro doesn’t care about basketball and the fact that he’s smarter than most of them makes him an Underrated Champion and MVP. LeBron James you ain’t that smart ever since u forced the Lakers to get Russel Westbrook
Theres a clip of Gobert and Edwards in the locker room doing a post game interview and they were both talking about "How did joker know our play? Its like he knew our play better than we do."
He's one of those anime character that doesn't care about what he's doing but it's too all in on stuff like "trivial". Jokic case it's a horse racing 😂🔥

Nikola Jokic got that European IQ
He does play the passing lanes nicely
Sometimes? Sometimes?

He has to be really, cause he doesn't have much mobility🤷♂️.
Illegal screen by donte
stop calling it screen. when you move your feet and literally push the opponent it is not a screen, that is foul play.
Jokic is still elite but his teammates are regressing after the 1st chip
bro i do this crap all the time stop glazeing him. obbilisly when someones coming off a screen to dunk u stop them hes not megamind for that
This shows that Centre and Forwards need to have a consistent mid-range to be effective during screens.
Keep up the good work bro

Damn… this is really good.

I love how people appreciate things like this.
This is why Jokic is an underrated defender. This kind of impact only shows up obscurely through certain advanced statistics.

The dude setting the screen is moving his feet like crazy in the example play
Just to add: offense cannot set screens out of bounds, it’s an illegal screen. Call them out Joker
High IQ is another form of defense but people don’t think of it like that.
Nah Jokic was in there for 5 seconds. Blow the whistle. And no offensive player was within arms length, wasn’t actively guarding anyone.
Actually first play in illegal you can't set a screen out of bounce
Greatest player worst team😢
This guy memorized all the plays and we are supposed to act like he doesn't care about ball
Jokic may not have much defensive ability but he has more than enough defensive IQ
Theres a clip of Gobert and Edwards in the locker room doing a post game interview and they were both talking about "How did joker know our play? Its like he knew our play better than we do."
Definitely great basketball IQ.
Being 6’ 11” with a 7’ 3” wingspan helps too 😂.

Smh the game is taught 90% mental 10% physical
remember, being in the nba is his job, not a hobby. true big man right there
He still couldn't defend if his life depended on it
Jokic is the Center version of Chris Paul
😂😂😂 come on mate. The glaze is insane
he might be a traffic cone individually, but that traffic cone has a super computer and processor installed inside 😭
Braun felt so used 😂😂😂
Am I just tripping or wasn't it illegal to set a screen when you are out of bounds…
damn his game IQ is top notch
Not taking away from his iq hes my fav player but he prolly knows the wolves so well at this point over the last 3 yrs
These kind of thing is what makes him a better team defender compared to Embiid. Embiid always gets cooked on PnR or have lapses in his coverage
A Joker with a Batman's mind😅
Moving screen
The 2nd one is not even the same play. Lol
What makes him great is his IQ is soo high he can bet people on that alone
Jokic doesn't do overtime. He wants to be in and out and go to his horses.
"isnt a threat outside the key" *flashbacks to spin around fadeaway gobert on joker in playoffs
