  1. The current MVP against The future MVP. If Wemby stays healthy he‘s gonna rock the league in the comming years

  2. JOKIC is simply the greatest on earth. Respect to Wemby,SGA, Durant & Co but Jokic is just elegance,softness,high IQ and efficiency. 🎩 down

  3. Jokic is the best player in the league, his basketball IQ is off the chart. Yet Wemby did a great job and showed improved maturity from previous match ups. Spurs crumble in the last 9 minutes. A ghood reminder before the p.o. anyway.

  4. Wemby obviously going through what Giannis did during playoff. He will figure that out because he has a better jumper and much longer body. He needed to develop that back to the basket move for playoff use eventually.

  5. I like how @ 2:28 Wemby just transitioned to offense knowing there wasn't a need to go for a defensive rebound lol.

  6. निकोला योकिच दुनिया का सर्वश्रेष्ठ खिलाडी हैं l हमारे डेनवर शहर का नाम रोशन करेगा लडका l

  7. @5:56 How Jokic made that fadeaway jumper look routine against Wemby's height+wingspan is so impressive.

  8. The game between the two lived up to all expectations (unlike SGA vs. Luka). The game was close, down to 2 points. Both Wemby and Jokic had very good stats. Wemby played 4-5 fewer minutes. The experience of Jokic and his teammates proved decisive in the end. I hope the next SGA vs. Jokic matchup will be of the same caliber. That's what we expect from MVP contenders and top teams.

  9. I could see Wemby struggling on defence against Jokic, and it was even harder for him to dominate the paint against the Denver defence. They really gave him a hard time, and it was literally impossible to stop Jokic from scoring in clutch time to win the game for the Nuggets.
    The last fadeaway from Jokic shot was a very tough shot to make.

  10. This is good loss for spurs so that they wont be too confident and keep them on the ground. now they know that there is still a team who can stop them and they can prepare for them in the playoffs

  11. This is such a HIGH INTENSITY matchup! Idc how many times I say it, Nikola Jokic should've be on his way towards winning his 5th MVP this season! 🔥

  12. I like Wemby, though this game showed he’s truly not a Center, which is fine. He’s definitely evolving into a “Put the ball down and drive” player. He catches that ball out on the wing way too much, though he’s obviously effective.

    He absolutely has the size and skill to guard Centers, which is cool. But he plays like a forward, hands down. He never tried getting in the post with Joker on him, and the Nugs did a decent job keeping joker off of him when he wanted to camp out at the 3 before his penetrations.

    Adelman is completely right, both are phenomenal players, they do it very differently.

  13. I thing people who disrespect this era of basketball should shut up after games like that. Every era has its own unique style and what we have seen is AWESOME

  14. after the second obvious travel missed.. I stopped watching. How is it hard to keep the rules of our game?
