Nikola Jokic outscored the Clippers starting lineup.
Jokic scored 55 points on 18⁄23, 5⁄6, 14⁄16.
Clippers starters scored 54 points on 21⁄47, 1⁄10, 11⁄11.
I swear every season this MFer is getting better. Continues to break basketball.
Jokic and Denver own the Clippers lol
Ended their only two chances with a fully healthy Kawhi as well 5 years apart
Jokic and Denver own Los Angeles
FTFY
We beat yall en route to a chip
Indeed, then the keys to the city were handed over for the following 4+ years
Ham years don’t count
Salute
The bubble cup doesn’t count either then
Made 3 less buckets on less than half the shots…
Will this man ever stop evolving? True basketball savant
Tbf the clipers were being defended by Spencer Jones and Joki wasn’t so
That man has infinite dog
Bruce and Spence both have infinite dogs
Has this ever been done before? I checked and Kobe outscored the Raptors starters by one point in his 81 game but idk of any other examples
Kobe also outscored the entire Mavs team by the end of the 3rd quarter just days before that
I think it may have been done by LeBron in the LeBronto days?? I could be wrong but I feel like that did happen at least once.
In a similar vein, David Robinson outscored the Clippers starters in his 71 point game.
Jokic took the Zubac as the best Jokic stopper takes personally
I mean.. did you look at the stats of the 7 game series?
Wilt type of stats right there. Good lord. Lol
He also broken the minds of certain fanbases who shall not be named
This guy is an alien and we got used to his extra-terrestial statlines.
Wemby: yes my nickname is The Alien
Jokic: is that a kind of horse? Hold my beer
The Clippers aren’t your normal, everday cooked. They are ADVANCED cooked
Thanks Jokic! It’s a team effort improving that draft pick!
Clippers punching the air. That’ll be a top 3 pick
I hope so. Thunder vs Nuggets WCF about to feed families this year
When people say the Luka trade is the most lopsided ever this one is more so. Got the better player who’s an MVP and FMVP and the haul of picks.
This trade is more lopsided but the Luka one is worse with all the context and the dogshit return, besides this trade took 6 years to finally culminate in a championship
Jesus Christ lol
Greatest player of his generation. Simple as that.
Really happy to see the direction the Clippers have decided to take their franchise
I just wish OKC didn’t own their pick unprotected.
Me too
the reverse cunningham
Sweet. Getting DoorDash coupon tomorrow
So that’s why he came back late in the 4th. He got only 52 before he came back in.
Most underrated player in the league, while simultaneously being the best player in the league
Yes.
Oh.. thats the reason why he went back in the 4th..
Clippers are a poorly constructed load management bottom feeder team.
Didn’t outscore the bench though?
What a bum!
Dude should be working on his 5th straight MVP as his numbers are stuff we’ve never seen, and at the end of the season all we will hear is voter fatigue . If the current voters can’t get a grasp on what his numbers mean, we need new voters . I didn’t have a massive problem with SGA last year as he put up huge numbers on a historically good team , but Jokers numbers were better by a decent margin . He’s got to where he doesn’t care about awards , so I will do the same and just enjoy what I’m watching because I’m never going to see it again. I’ve had the honor of seeing Wilt, Michael and Joker play in my lifetime , I’m good. Would like to see Joker get at least another title , maybe 2 to cement his legacy since that seems to be the only measuring stick , but it’s going to be hard to come out of the West because OKC has built a monster that doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere but up for the next 2-3 years.
Dude should be working on his 5th straight MVP
6th straight
The Embiid and SGA MVPs were robberies. Both should have gone to Jokic, and they weren’t close. Joker just doesn’t care to campaign or kiss media ass for awards.
Jokic is modern day Wilt
