Nikola Jokic says he might perform Many Men at the all star halftime show
the WHOLE THING?
Every word
We call that the (Explicit Version)
You’ll hear no stutter
Especially that “word”. He shouts it loud while looking at their eyes.
Who gone stop him
……many men?
I’d still pick the Serbian 7 footer
What if 2 of the many men are 7’1” Serbians, but one is missing half a hand?
Is this a riddle? The answer is time. No, wait. A candle.
Nope, jack rabbit.
Wish death upon him
Looks at Embiid
“Cause he got hit like I got hit BUT HE AIN’T FUCKING BREATHING”
If this happens I’ll probably stop breathing too, but if shock and laughter. Please take my breath away jokic
Are you illiterate wigga? You can’t read between the lines?
I knew this was going to be the top comment and I still laughed.
This is how they force Jokić out of the league
All it takes is one slip up of the N-word and Lakers sleeper agent DeAndre Jordan has finally accomplished his 4-year mission /s
Breaking News: 3 time MVP says the N word multiple times during All Star Game karaoke segment. Commissioner Adam Silver collapses during event. Taken to UCSF medical center and is still unresponsive. Ratings skyrocket 800%. Networks get on their knees and beg the NBA to renegotiate a new 25 year media rights deal.
Okay, but I’d watch the shit out of some NBA karaoke
Lakers Sleeper agent Deandre Jordan 😭😭
Nikola?
aka Agent J. Degre
I wonder if there is Serbian word similar to the n-word that they use on themselves as Serbs.
And then he says it right as everyone us leaning over and wants to hear this word.
Not really, the Balkans do have words for each other but not racial, more political/religious/ethnic/geographical…
He could just say “cigan” which is a derogatory word for a gypsy and probably closest to the N word we have lol
To expand on it -
Cigan - name for Gypsy / Romani which is also somewhat controversial due to the fact that Gypsies call themselves that but can randomly chose to be offended by it if someone else uses it, similar like 9igga.
Used also as a derogatory term with non-romani people, to point out that someone does something either bad, or cheap - “Man, dont take so many free cookies, dont be a Cigan”
There’s also a “Shiptar” which is basically the same, but for Kosovo people, imma leave it at that because of some recent history
In Romania, the situation is kinda similar. Except very very few people get offended by the word țigan. I’ve had numerous discussions with actual rroma people about this and they all told me that only Romanians get offended on their behalf (and even that is seldom).
This may be due to the fact that there is another term (direct translation of the word ‘crow’) that is a derogatory word to all darker skinned people. That word is definitely more offensive. But I’d still say general outrage about it is fairly low. Probably more to do with Romanian culture and how (relatively) well minorities are integrated into society.
Just say trigga
They respected him because he said it
I must kill… t̶h̶e̶ ̶q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶ the Serbian
Why you trying to make Jokic a victim. Man is a 3x MVP and possibly might win a 4th. Most WP with sense and something to loose, know to self sensor with those parts.
Same way a man knows to self sensor b—ch, in a similar situation. Saying well why can women say b—ch and sl-t isn’t going to fly. Or even old rap songs where dudes used to h—0 or f—ot. They know to self sensor nowadays. Unless you’re Lil Nas X or Saucy Santana, you can’t say that in 2025. That’s how the pejorative term game works.
What in the fuck are you going on about? 😅
There’s this thing called a joke.
He’s not a humour pro
You need a brain transplant brother
Have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.
One of the more fun and engaged Jokic interviews in a while. Guess he had more time to gather his wits and give answers after sitting the 4th.
Also, days like this remind me of how much Ernie brings to Inside the NBA because Lefkoe is not it. He’s okay at hosting and following the script/teleprompter, but cannot improvise or read the room.
Yeah I feel bad for Lefkoe since everyone shits on him but I don’t know how he landed Inside the NBA of all shows
hes got mega jimmy fallon energy, golden retriever type beat.
Why does he have to be so EAGER
Delightfully specific.
What’s more impressive is his wife. He might be a complete cheese ball on air but he must be have some sort of irl aura to be around to be able to score in life as well as he has.
LMAOOOO
I was not expecting that when googling his wife. Shout out tho
If you can’t be hot, be funny.
Just gonna guess that’s what’s goin on.
He’s a nepobaby
He’s a nepo hire cause he cohosts a podcast with Shaq
But that began well after Lefkoe hosted the show right
Actually yeah nvm.
Ernie’s skill is he knows when not to talk. He lets them go and then suddenly fill the cracks. Sometimes he goes hard in the gaps. He keeps time. He’s a drummer in a jazz band. He’s not trying to be equal to them. He reads the recap and nobody listens. Lefkoe seems to be over achieving and more power to him. I love his pumped up voice when he does rhyming highlights. I think producers WANT announcers that annoy a bunch of people. He also doesn’t distract from stars.
Yah maybe he can rap about his horses
He’s officially the GOAT if he actually does it

What does r Kelly got to do with this
… do you think R Kelly is capable of creating a master piece like Many Men? I hope you know that it’s a 50 cent song my guy
Need them to show the incident with a Morris twin when he gets to the, “he got hit like I got hit and he ain’t fucking breathing” part for the lols
Its definitely on Twitter
It’s so Reddit to see this and half the comments be about him saying the n-word.
It’s so reddit to see someone deep in the reddit comments sections complaining that reddit is in fact like reddit.
It’s so reddit for a redditor deep in the trenches to point out the hypocrisy of reddit and its inhabitants while on reddit.
It’s actually “in fact” not “in fact” but otherwise your point is valid
I was parodying when a Redditor nitpicks a meaningless detail in a comment and is often incorrect in their nitpick.
what if elmos singing his favourite song?
Were they just trying to bait Jokic into saying a slur?
No
I mean it’s the only way you can stop him from winning mvp every year so they gotta try something new
Kendrick Perkins rubbing his hands with glee rn
they should probably stop putting slurs in songs if they don’t want people to sing them lol
Someone give him the pass for just one day
this ubc mf everywhere bruh
?
He’s Serbian, he was born with it
Beach Slav
Americans are clueless about the fact of how popular and cool was 50 Cent among middle schoolers in Eastern Europe and some other places. I am from Baltics and remember us jamming to a damn Candy Shop in pre elementary school lmao. Teachers didn’t know English and we (or at least most of us) didn’t have idea about the actual meaning behind the lyrics and we were taking it too literally. Anyways it was all good vibes. Songs were awesome and different in comparison to the other stuff on the radio.
Artists/bands like 50 Cent and DMX were also extremely influential to our rap scene which was literally at its infancy (don’t check it out, we completely sucked and it’s all so cheesy but the intention was good). I feel so represented by this Jokic obsession with Many Men so much 🤣
early 2000s in Baltics was crazy rappers fighting with metal heads when ever they see each other for no reason just like far right vs far left rn
If he says it, who’s gonna stop him?
Now this is how you get your viewership up nba let’s goo I’ll be tuned in
Lefkoe singing Many Men made me phsyically uncomfortable
It’s like he’s using Sinatra’s cadence to cover a 50 track
It would be GOAT All Star Game
should have been like “oh come on you know the words! just fill in the blanks, and _____ tryna take my life away”
Needs to have a teammate fill in the blanks like the Curtis Mayfield sample on Jesus Walks.
We must protect Ernie Johnson man
I might drop an edit for him
Nobody can stop Mr. Joker!!! I don’t understand who can hate this guy?!?
Ni#$as tryin to take my life away is literally the next part before he stopped Shaq cut in
Ready to hear Jokic rapping about them crackers giving his black ass 100 years
what did he thank shaq for at the end i cant quite make it out?
For the belt.
Can we see Niko and Gronk hang out
Might actually watch the game this year then
Yes he’ll get the pass. Yes his bothers will be right behind him.😂
Lmfao i love it
Might I suggest Ride My Pony as a more tasteful alternate? He likes horses.
This thread is just going to be jokes about the N-word. Mods will ignore it though because that’s how Reddit works.
Idk the song, but what keeps coming to mind is Manslayer’s “Manly Men”
All star half time performances by Nikola Jokic and G3 - Tweaker
lol cap he not
i hate adam lefkoe. that is all
Bold of him to assume he will be invited to the ASG
This is like the 10th Jokic post in the last 2 hours alone damn
basketball subbreddit posts about the best basketball player, more news at 11
Posting about the best player is fine. I’ve seen multiple posts of Jokic hitting wide open 3s. It’s absurd.
Yeah Im sick of it too. He’s just making all of them 3s. Goddam piggy
There’s 100+ 3s hit on any given day of basketball. It’s not like Jokic is Shaq from 3 considering he is a good shooter that hits 3s consistently. How does that qualify as a “highlight”?
No body is stopping you from posting about Lebum
Honestly, I think any other fanbase has a right to complain about this except one that has Lebron.
Considering you have the guy that gets glazed and has been glazed by national media for a few decades, we’re gonna have this. A lot of the highlights are overrated yes but it would’ve been insufferable during Lebrons peak as well.
Eh I was a Kobe fan through and through so the Lebron attention from the media was annoying as well pre Lakers. I do understand how it became even more annoying for other fan bases once he joined the Lakers though.
I don’t see how being a fan of a certain team invalidates a claim considering not all fans are the same but fair enough I guess.
I’d be tired of him too if I was a Lakers fan
That account has just been posting mad highlights in general
Yes, but do you mind it that much?
Look at their flair
Basketball subreddit posts about the best player in the world who would have thought
This is your life now and forever Lakers man
Are you new to r/nba or something?
I think this is the 10th time you post rhis
Remember when other people used to complain about LeBron posts?
SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We used to pray for this player in the 90s when the oldheads sounded like they were lying about Wilt.
