  1. Jokic fans will see a performance like this and still say that jokic doesn’t have any help.😂😂😂

  2. Can't believe the Nuggets wasted this insane career game for Gordon, Jokic especially sold looking out of shape and bad shot selection. 8-23 and 2-13 from 3 ain't it, chief.

  3. Bro i dont know how people call jokic the best when he cnt even make a shot.his game is not it the stats is good but the game nah.

  4. Gordon was having historic shooting night and Jokic was not having good shooting night but of course Jokic has to take that last shot. It's not always all about winning but more of politics and money.

  5. Aaron Gordon becomes the first player to score 50 points in a debut game while being 6'8, having a double digit number jersey, grabbing at least 8 rebounds and scoring more than half of his points on three pointers, while having less than ten free throws made, HISTORIC!

  6. Steve Kerr is washed bro. On a night where Jokic was pretty bad for his standards and where both Cam and CB were bad, he let ag go for 50. And most of his threes were because he was left wide open. This is kinda like that time when gsw left Jaylen brown wide open and he went for 40. Like use your head

  7. Good thing wade wasn’t the ref, he would’ve took away 1 of Gordon’s 3’s so therefore he ends with 47!

  8. instead of starting to play some defence this year nba just decided to get rid of it completely lmao
    what a joke of a basketball
