this guy is the Nikola Jokic of basketball

Jokic leads the league in rebounding and assists which should be mind-blowing but instead it is an afterthought because his scoring and efficiency are record-breaking

Best offensive player I’ve ever seen

I don’t think it’s crazy to call him “The Best Offensive Player Ever” anymore. Nobody’s ever done this kind of volume with this efficiency.

This game brought his ppg by 1.1? Damn

He’s the easy mvp right now and this is up there with 16 Steph as the best offensive season ever imo.

Pretty fuckin nuts.

MVP, but god damn it, Ant better be top 5 this year. 

Has 3 MVPs, a ring and is averaging a triple double and the first thing the inside crew says at halftime is he’s a level below Shaq and Kareem.

Why does the talking heads always need to be down on the current product instead of enjoying an all time great.

People seriously underrate this guys athleticism, through his career hes never played less than 69 games a season. Best ability is availability even for a guy with ALOT of ability

This is my MVP

The greatest horse lover in history

M V P

Obviously the MVP, and it’s not close

MVP for sure, Shai likely won’t have the wins advantage like last year (OKC had 18 more wins tbf)

Most improved player candidate.

As a laker fan this sounds about right. Were used to Jokic cooking us like this 😭 This guy is ridicolous.

MVP no contest.

Absolutely ludicrous stuff from Big Honey to start the season!

I’m not sure it’s possible for anyone to have cleaner averages

Wonder who’s gonna rob him off the MVP award this year cause the voters got voter’s fatigue 💀

That‘s my MVP runner-up!

Im starting to think this Jokic guy might be good

Peak Jokic is fun!

You cannot tell me that Jokic hasn’t perfected basketball. We been waiting for a player that would “solve the game” ala 2k style, get those triple dubs with 70+TS, can pass like Nash and post up like Shaq. However, now that such a player is here, he makes it too easy and it’s getting boring.

I’ll admit that Jokic has probably surpassed my beloved Steph in the greatest offensive weapon of all time convos. Peak for peak. Steph is more impactful to basketabll because he was groundbreaking in opening a whole dimension via his far ahead shooting ability. He and the dubs forever changed how generations of teams, youngsters and coaches approach basketball.

But Steph can still be prone to variance and has some very small flaws in his game, notably the turnovers. Teams have made special defenses to try and stop him, which has worked at times, specially post Durant with the little help he’s had. But what on earth do you even do against Joker ? Dude has learned every skill possible and perfected it to a T. He’s Dirk, Nash, Shaq, Bird, Malone + Kareem’s touch all at once on offense. Heck, he makes half court shots as if he’s Steph.

Only thing Joker isn’t really so much as ultimately transcendent is him as a floor raiser. He’s carried mid teams before, but it hasn’t been as dominant as say prime LeBron, or the steadiness of a Duncan, or even James Harden. He’s still imo a top 10 floor raiser and ceiling raiser (together) of all time, but if that’s the flaw I’m gonna find on him, then this fat serbian is real good.

I feel lucky to be able to watch this guy play

I think he already a top 10 player oat. 3x mvp arguably had two mvps stolen from him and we’ll see what happens with it this year. Best offensive player oat I think i can say that safely now. The only all star and all nba player on his team throughout his entire career and won a chip too. Jamal is arguably all star level and def is this season, but hes never been consistent enough to get the nod and the west guards have also just always been a stacked position. 6 years straight of arguably being the best player in the league I think its fair. By the end of his career I think his name will end up like wilts and lebrons, where everytime something outrageous is done the name we’ll hear for the last time it was done or who’s done it the most will be jokic.

Jokic skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane….

Most likely MVP unless SGA gets 70 wins

Once again…it’s a 2 man race

There is 0 doubt in my mind that he’s in the same class as MJ, LeBron & Kareem. What we’ve seen since 2020 is insane. He keeps getting better to the point where I wonder if he’s actually trying his hardest. I think he could get a 50/20/20 game if he was motivated to try.

HE CANT KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

MY LORD AND SAVIOR, HOW???

As an individual player, he’s already top-10 all time. And he likely has 3-5 more years of this.

This Nikola Jokic guy must be good at basketball

missing 3 starters atm and 2 starters for some weeks now and he and Jamal couldn’t care less… What a duo!

Funny thing is that, if I’m not wrong, it’s not Christmas day in Serbia.

this was undoubtedly a phenomenal game, in fact top 5 i’ve seen from jokic, but nuggets fans will always confuse me on how much they care about him having or not having another MVP after getting 3 more than actually more rings

He is the real GOAT. Not MJ or Lebron

FTA could never

splits!

Crazy how truple double used to be a big thing then this guy happens and we are just casually expecting it

Best player you’ll ever see.

Has to be MVP

He is my all time 5 starting center god damn

Realistically, there’s no way this guy isn’t the best player of all time by the end of his career no? He’s already top ten, if he stays at this level for even five more years, wins one or two more MVPs, and gets another ring, how is he not the best player of all time with these numbers?

Present Day Wilt shit

We have never seen anything like this

He’s gonna make it real hard to not call him the goat after it’s said and done man

No one checking the source?

He is actually 29.⁸⁄₁₂.¹⁄₁₁.0

Westbrook MVP season, but with one of the best efficiencies in the league.

Should have been 5 in a row, 5 time MVP going into this season.

This mans game is superior to supposed goat Bron in every way except athletic ability. Which if you think about it is actually another way that he’s better than James. He does more with less god-given ability.

Can he close a Game 7 though?
