@GrandLineGuru@HoopSpaces If you watched the game, you would've seen Zubac battling Jokic on each possession and wearing him down. Jokic's shooting % with Zu on the floor is among his lowest. He's just a more physical, savvier and economical defender than Gobert on skilled bigs like Jokic.
@_yayeezy Embiid has never even made the ECF, much less the finals, much less be the best player on a Championship team. Good stats on a mediocre team type of player
Embiid wouldnt be as dominant in a previous era where 2 bigs and crowded lanes & Jokic better offensively for modern ball
this fuckin tomahawk ahhh shot gonna go down in history as one of the most unstoppable shots ever. MJ/Kobe mid range, LeFuck you 3, Dirk fadeaway, Kareem skyhook, and Jokic tomahawk
@JimmyLemke@bball_ref Tell me you are a casual without telling me. Go look up how old LeBron, Jordan, Jokic, Curry, Durant, Nowitzki, Etc were when they won their first ring. NBA stars don’t win championships until they are at least 27.
@DJBushman@JakeLeei Jokic didn’t go out of his way to get AD on him. That didn’t happen. They went out of the way getting Gobert on him “get him out of the paint” yes him standing there doing nothing guarding no one. Jokic backed him down there himself. There’s plenty of open shots bcuz he’s lite
@MinimoDVeterano Bromas aparte, tercer cuarto de Game 5: Si no es por Gobert, Jokic da 800 asistencias. Le puso dos tapones a Gordon increíbles. Es sin duda el DPOY.
@thefreakwharf @texwoods2@JonesOnTheNBA The problem is Rudy can’t do anything offensively on the other end. Anthony Davis was cooking Jokic too so they had to put Aaron Gordon on him
@buffyraul @Ja1_p3dr0@BrooklynGuy2021 Coloca desde 2019 essas stats pra testar um negócio, além de que os últimos 6 jogos foram todos em Philadelphia pq o Embitch corre do Jokic em Denver
@_yayeezy Embiid is good at scoring but offense also means playmaking, movement, spacing, and rebounding and Jokic clears Embiid in those aspects, plus Embiid will never be as efficient a scorer as Jokic
@lattelarry4@ali_mohamed77@ZiggyOfAk Jokic was young then, he doesn't know his spots and draymond feasted on his ignorance.
Phoniex can fly now and all draymond got now is his mouth.
Sun is setting for him TBH
"Jokic’s time-wasting tactics burned :51, over 7%—of the 4th Q, according to a WSJ analysis. That helped the Nuggets seal the win & seize control of the series. It was the latest example of Jokic proving himself to be not just the best player in the game but 1 of the smartest"
@HarrisonWind Do you like ballet? Because Jokic's footwork rivals the best dancers. His low-post moves make that aspect of his game even more pleasing to the eyes.
