[Highlight] Nikola Jokic tries to reset the shot clock by giving the Wolves the ball and steal it back but leads to a jumpball
Beringer wasn’t even upset he was genuinely confused
I personally thought this was hilarious, largely because Jokic couldn’t have picked a more unsuspecting player to pull this on than our 19-year-old rookie who only started playing basketball about 5 years ago. Dude must have thought he’d taken crazy pills
The look of confusion is incredibly funny lol
Yo pensaba que Jokic le ofrecia el balón para que lo agarrara cuando acabara el reloj y como el novato lo agarró antes de que acabara, por eso intento robarselo de nuevo jajaja
Aso that’s a cool name.
Aso Dosunmu
Even better. It also means Dog in another language.
It means cheap electronics in Chinese.
Man, I really wish this ended with a layup on the other end
Grown ass man being petty and trying to play it off when he doesn’t get the reaction he wants. Wolves living rent free in that dude’s head
Do you think David Adelman is going to be upset about this? Should a Wolves player have charged down the court to confront Jokic?
I mean, both teams had clearly stopped playing. Right?
Come on man.. just enjoy the series
lol
I don’t really give a shit. It’s a meaningless possession at the end of a game.
I’m making fun of the outrage about McDaniels’ layup. Did I need to add an /s for people to get that?
Wow! Not a good day for wolves fan I guess
Jokic was trying to get the ball back to run the clock out without trying to score lol. Wtf are you talking about.
He didn’t try to score at the end like McDaniels. Did you not see the part where Jokic just let the play clock run all the way down without trying to score?
Or where he didn’t even jump for the jump ball so that Minnesota could get it back?
These two things are not the same my guy
If he jumped there would have been a shot clock violation lol
Why not clip the full sequence of him not even contesting the jump ball? Made it twice as funny.
Well the refs didn’t count a possession change so winning the jump ball would have been pointless with 0.2 seconds left
This better be on the last 2 minute report, it was totally a possession change
if it’s a close game, Jokic would be the one guy trying to bat it straight into the basket.
Not contesting the jump ball after all that was pretty funny.
There was 0.2 on the shot clock. He wanted a reset.
“after all that”
Once he retires, the league is gonna hire Jokic to find loopholes in their rules. Like companies that hire hackers to find flaws in their cyber-security
He’ll work with CP3 and Wemby eventually
Paul-Jokic-Wembanyama Lawyers at Ball
Jokic is only interested in horse law.
Reminds me of Bill Belichick deliberately using a false start then a delayed 4th down snap on a kick, so that the Jets had to either take a penalty and run down more time, or decline and allow the game clock to keep running.
The fact he did it while up 33-0 made it even better.
Adam Silver is far, far too dumb to do something like this.
Claude Jokic
“Nikola, we pay you a million a year, the least you could do is show up in person to one of these meetings.”
“¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Honestly this is genius
Further proof Jokic is a basketball genius
Top tier trolling 😂
YOOO, haha, love to see it.
This is hilarious
Is it still considered stat padding if he is getting a turnover?
Yes because he gets a steal, TOs aren’t that relevant
he did not get a steal here as Wolves never had the ball. All he got here was a turnover with the loss of the jump ball. If he wanted to statpad, he couldve won the jump ball and it’d be a team shot clock turnover instead of his own turnover.
That’s my high IQ fat Serbian horse man!
Trolling masterclass
“that’s just who he is”
Two guys can just statpad their steals and turnovers just by doing this. Hope somebody does in the future.
This is hilarious man
He was just having fun those last 20 seconds.
That’s not allowed according to the man himself. I’m confused.
Nothing about Jokic trying to reset the shot clock to not shoot contradicts what he did in game 4.
I agree. I couldn’t sleep at all the last couple nights thinking about McDaniels disgusting layup.
I feel ya. Things just kept getting worse. The night was already tense with an attempted assassination of the president, then the layup happened.
He’s extending a game thats over and stat padding to not get a TO. McDaniels extended the game and stat padded to get 2 pts and Jokic threw a fit about it. Its all good, hes just a hypocrite.
You do understand that if the clock properly reset it would be a personal turnover, whereas a shot clock violation is a team turnover, what you said doesn’t make any sense
Team stats are still stats, and its still a cheeky meaningless play just like McDaniels layup. Only difference is Jokic gets butthurt when other teams do anything cheeky at the end of the game. He’s a hypocrite and it’s funny to me.
I’m sure someone would find a way to get upset about an unwritten rule to run the clock out faster if it existed for that situation. I could see hipocracy if he hoisted a three or something like that. I’m sure if McDaniels was the one who that happened to it might have been a bit more dicey. Announcers might have gotten another chance to gush over how fearless he is
That is four hypotheticals in one reply, so I dont really know what else you expect me to say.
Jokic is a hypocrite and its funny, end of story.
Yes, I’m sure Jokic cares so much about the turnover stat. You’d think a minnesota fan would’ve watched some nuggets games by now.
Some players, including Jokic and DeRozan just have a weird sense of respect around not scoring in a blowout. They’re very consistent in their crash outs. KCP did the same thing in 2024 in game 7. It’s a bad look but nothing new.
A shot clock turnover is a team turnover for future reference.
You need to stop typing cheeky and butthurt.
DeRozan might be, but Jokic doesn’t seem to have a problem if the guy’s wearing a Nuggets jersey
… as evidenced by his attempt to get a triple double while the shot clock was off
He was just trying to run the clock out man, wtf are you going on about.
He didn’t try to score on his possession, and he didn’t even try for the jump ball.
If he was trying to run the clock out, he could just run the clock out. Its a quick side out and game over, faster than doing a jump ball. He did a cheeky little play that nobody ever does to flex his BBIQ. Again, its not a big deal, it was a funny play, and also its funny to me he did it after his tantrum last game.
You think running down on a breakaway abd scoring on a team when the game is over is the same as deliberately not shooting and then not contesting the jump ball to boot?
You don’t know more than ball
Bro. Y’all need to calm tf down
Where was that energy Saturday night when he ignited the skirmish?
Most of us Nuggets fans didn’t like Jokic confronting McDaniels like that
I hated it but this team arguably needed a spark. They looked dead and even though it was dumb I think we needed a spark. Malone would have taken a tech for that instead but Adelman isn’t that guy
If this gets to Game 7 they’re going to be so toxic
If? Yall are gonna blow em out in game 6 and 7
Please knock on wood. If we lose game 6 I’m gonna find you cause of this.
Bro, I wouldn’t say shit but Jokic threw a tantrum after McDaniels did something “fun” in the final seconds last game. Y’all need to look in the mirror once in a while.
It’s an unwritten rule you don’t do that it’s not the first time even this season this has happened when someone has dunked when the game is over, he new what he was doing and there is usually consequences it’s not crazy
I didn’t agree with that. You’re the ones pearl clutching right now
I mean, good for you? I’m talking about what Jokic did. You don’t need to be offended by it if you don’t agree with what he did lol.
No one’s pawl clutching, they’re pointing out hypocrisy.
But the move is objectively hilarious
Then they don’t understand hypocrisy cause this ain’t it.
One man’s fun is pretty much everyone else’s disrespect.
You never played a sport did you?
you’re whining
Fired his team up and they put belt to ass McDaniels couldn’t do anything to stop it
Yall can’t take a joke
Crazy move to try to get a turnover on your stat line voluntarily just so the other team doesn’t get have the last possession
Wouldn’t it have counted as a turnover anyways if he held onto it?
Shot clock violation is a team turnover, not a player turnover
I haven’t seen that tactic before. Hilarious
joan had no idea what was happening
Well, I’m the Joker baby
You know why they call him The Joker? Stuff like this.
I can’t believe he would do that
(Sike! Yes I can! haha!)
Isn’t it psyche.
Not if you’re krazykarl!
With less than a second in a quarter and ball at midcourt, this could be tried in a college game to get a switch of the possession arrow.
This is like when the joke doesn’t land the same because of cultural differences 🤣
But also respect to ber that he didnt give the ball up at least? This is confusing me lol.
LOL
They call him the Joker for a reason eh
I am here for this kind of basketball
lol what a weirdo
Jokic such a salty dumb hoe lmao
I do find it humorous some Nuggets fans are trying to dodge the slight hypocrisy of this with “there’s technically no specific unwritten rule about this”
He’s showing up the opponent unnecessarily with the game decided. Thats the whole point of the unwritten rule McDaniels violated.
Both of them did it on purpose. McDaniels to troll and instigate. Jokic to troll but probably not instigate.
It’s no big deal but reading the reactions was funny.
Except this is a cheeky prank and definitely not an unwritten rule, whereas McDaniels dunk is a fairly well know unwritten rule that has a few flare ups in the regular season and playoffs every year. This kid didn’t even know what was going on.
It might be hypocritical if he did it next week. Today it’s just getting even.
funny but he doing this against a rookie he should be doing this against McDaniels or a starter 😭
Doing it against Joan is somehow even more hilarious. Bro had NO idea what was going on
If the starters were in he may have
Because we benched our starters because they kicked our asses?
He would have done it to McDaniels if he wasnt on the bench.
Ohhh ur right he wasn’t in, my bad
It’s true… McDaniels is fearless after all
what i dont get is how making a layup at the end of a game is worse than this. trying to pull some bullshit like this at the end of a game thats clearly over would piss me off more than anything because its not a basketball play. hes trying to game the rules.
He’s trying to end the game faster, not game anything. I doubt he does something like that again.
I don’t want to see any nuggets fan enjoying this win. It’s not allowed guys. Didn’t you know their best player is hurt?
I hate that we won because they are injured. but also our best players are also hurt. jokic is clearly injured all series if you have watched us at all. AG and pwat are out who are our best defenders.
stat padding ..lol
The audacity! The Nuggets had a 12 point lead already! He is clearly breaking an unwritten rule of basketball where you need to let the shot clock expire when the other team is no longer trying. I cannot believe this injustice. Sickening.
Even though you’re being sarcastic, you do realize your team went down and took a shot after this right? Like you all used as justification for scoring at the end last time?
I can’t and won’t speak for the other guy, but I feel like nobody really cares what the losing team does in situations like these. Nobody cared that the Nuggets took a half counter at the end of Game 4- why would they? No different when the Wolves ran a possession at the end of this one.
Yeah, and we wouldn’t have cried about if you guys had grabbed the rebound and went down for a layup.
(And honestly most Denver fans didn’t cry about that either, but you sound like you did)
The first comment in this thread is a Wolves fan crying about this lol, don’t act like your entire fanbase isn’t upset about a jump ball right now for some reason
I assure you, nobody is crying or cares about the jump ball. The hypocrisy from Jokic is actually really funny though, and seeing Nuggies fans try to justify it is even more funny.
Hypocrisy is when you do something equivalent to something that you are against.
Do you understand now?
Couldn’t care less, honestly. As soon as Edwards and Donte went down, anything they win from then on is really just a bonus.
No one’s crying, we think it’s hilarious.
But it’s also fair to point out that the giant dude who was so offended about what happened last game ended up doing this
Sure man, no one is crying, you guys are all cool as cucumbers up there
Yes? Find it posted in our sub if you want lol. If you want to listen to some crying, go rewatch your coach’s media availability from last game

Those are literally just in this thread lol
Congrats, you found a single wolves flair making a joke about the hypocrisy (not whining) and two unflaired losers who never posted in our sub. That’s the whole fan base tho
Buddy, I could link you a hundred Wolves flairs and you would still say “well that isn’t the entire fanbase”
Ironically, I think you might be the biggest crybaby I’ve seen from either team in either incident
This isn’t the same at all?
and we wouldn’t have cried about if you guys had grabbed the rebound and went down for a layup.
But how do you know?
You guys are by far the whiniest fans in the league
He’s joking, a reference to the reaction of Jaden’s layup in game 4
Some should sprint to him and try to enforce the “unwritten rules,” right?
He literally tried to give Joan a steal just to steal the ball back. What “unwritten rule” is there about that?
Joan had the ball, everyone stopped playing, and Jokic is going for steals up 12. When the other team concedes you stop playing. Right?
So you think he was statpadding steals? You do realize Joan would also get a steal which means it would be a Jokic turnover instead of a team turnover. So he was adding turnovers to his stat line to statpad? Like if Jokic dunked it, I’d understand why you’d be mad, but this is just a stupid play.
Btw Jokic was not the one that made the unwritten rule that you’re not supposed to score when the game is over. It’s been a thing for decades at least.
oh brother
What unwritten rules are there for this? Most players do stupid shit to avoid a turnover at the end on their stats. He seeked one out for fun
sought
Literally just flirting vs harassment.
Full barrel sprint over a layup but its cute and fun when Jokic does a gimmick? What?
He obviously did it because of that
Go ahead buddy
What rule is that mr kerr?
Man why is he such an a-hole
Fuck that guy
Classic toddler antics from the choker. Tries to act nonchalant then does corny shit like this.
Dish it take it
