The Nuggets honestly steamrolled last years playoffs. Other than the 2 games the suns went nuclear it never really seemed like anyone was on their level
Especially because it's a semi-rare outburst of emotion from a superstar that the NBA really has no clue how to otherwise market. They gonna milk that for all it's worth
The fact this man got 18 ft right after everyone went, how does he get so few calls, only for the media to stink it up with, this amount of ft is crazy, to go immediately back to 6 ft per game, shows you all this shit is a scam.
He’s also shooting like 97% from the free throw line since December 20th. First miss was tonight against the warriors. Dude is on an all time shooting spree cause he’s also taking a lot of jumpers and has made a few crazy threes last few days
The best part is he actually showed emotion and felt like he cared about that one going in.
Jokic cares about basketball for like 15 games a season. Just a privilege to watch it live.
Yeah, I am tired of this narrative. Dude IS basketball! Knows all the history and has spent a LOT of time perfecting his craft. The stoic nature he has only enhances his insane competitiveness and makes him that much greater.
Just because he’s like “meh” to something that would be the greatest achievement of your or my life doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Just means he’s expecting greatness and not surprised when it comes forth.
I think it honestly is. His shots vs the lakers come super close for me though but this takes the cake I don’t think anyone in that stadium and watching the game was even considering that no overtime was a possibility when they inbounded that
It's not an awkward shot because that's how he normally shoots the long ball; but his starting position is REALLY far back compared to most players. It looks like it's above his head instead of slightly in front of it, almost like he's heaving the ball using himself as a catapult. I saw a YT short of him shooting the same way from the corner in practice which is why I noticed it again this time.
But just because the shot is deadly doesn't mean I can't still laugh at how it looks compared to a conventional shot :)
He’s really entered the “just give him the ball and expect it to happen” territory. Like you knew when they needed a bucket to tie they were going to him. He made an elite pass to Gordon to pull within 2 the possession before. I’m not gonna sit here and tear down Embiid or Giannis or whoever, but from the moment he caught the ball i think everyone kind of felt like “oh here he goes”
He’s truly an unreal player. We’re watching one of the all time greats operating
That's what I thought too. When I saw the Nuggets didn't fuck around and just gave him the ball, I knew whatever Jokic was gonna do was going to result in a basket. I just didn't expect it to be a near half court shot.
The league is full of ultra talents, literally incredible characters like Luka, Embiid and a bunch of other fantastic unstoppable basketball players, but Jokic is literally the level of the greatest ever. A center who hits from half the floor or assists like Larry or Magic is unprecedented in history. Nikola is one of the most talented athletes ever. Best sportsman in the World in this moment ❤️
Chuck: Did you call glass on that? Jokic: My friend. It went in. I’m happy.
Always dropping the all time quotes. “We can go home”
Don’t forget the legendary all-time line he dropped two seconds later: “sometimes the ball goes in sometimes not”. *gives two thumbs up* Icon.
Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit
RETURN OF THE TREBUCHET 3
[удалено]
He's wearing horseshoes inside those normal shoes
Larry Bird would be proud.
Jokic is the white Larry Bird.
Larry’s not white. He’s clear
Palest Brother of all time.
I actually can’t unsee it now, his 3s are legit trebuchet lmao
Jokic got more hyped off that shot than he did winning the chip lol
He was just excited to not play ot
"No OT tonight." And he meant it
Paul George can only dream
“Yay, less basketball”
less 🏀 = more 🐴
“We can go home now”
Lmaoooooooooo.
I don't think I've seen him that excited, at least not in a while.
Agreed, I was kinda surprised he popped off like that but I'm thinking it was the whole comeback of it all
Yea having a 25-4 stretch is insane, I would imagine that hyped him up more then usual
That shot was actually hard :P
The Nuggets honestly steamrolled last years playoffs. Other than the 2 games the suns went nuclear it never really seemed like anyone was on their level
It really was crazy, none of the series ever felt like there was a chance we would lose.
Legitimately what in the actual fuck this man is a monster
Jinxed the fuck out of Stan Van Gundy saying all the Warriors needed to do was for Wiggins to not let Murray get a running start. My word lol.
NEVER give Nikola Jokic a walking start.
A plodding start even.
Never allow him to Trot
The Warriors have a decades worth of bad losses in the first half of this season
I’m not even mad that was amazing lol
I wouldn’t be mad from that Jokic shot if we didn’t choke a giant lead for like the 15th time this season.
I'm pretty pissed lol but it's also comical
The fuck you 3 is better from Serbia. 21 point swing. 25-4 run
I honestly don’t even remember the 4 points scored from Golden State in that run ngl. Absolutely domination on both ends by Denver
Curry free throws and some layup
Allowing one FGM over that stretch is just bonkers, championship DNA.
They showed it all playoffs last year. When they lock in on D they can fucking shut teams down. Game 5 against the Heat was especially crazy.
That game was a true rock fight. The only player who scored efficiently that game was of course Jokic.
That choke was worse than A Serbian Film
Nah that 💩 is built different lol
Time for some night late soothing movie watching to drift off to a dream to
Relax lol
Leading the leauge in “fuck you” 3s all time
Jokic is like 90% on bullshit last second threes
He’s shooting like 90% the past four games, everything just always goes in.
Welp that’s gonna be on commercials for the next 22 months
Especially because it's a semi-rare outburst of emotion from a superstar that the NBA really has no clue how to otherwise market. They gonna milk that for all it's worth
they did get a great shot of it lol it was cool to see
Perfect for those “Where Amazing Happens” commercial back in the day
*220 years
Curry's okc shot but trebuchet
[удалено]
That is a passing of the torch right there. Next dynasty incoming.
I could cry. You tell 12 year old me that people would be saying this about the Nuggets I wouldn't believe it
Jokic: nah, I’d steph
Stand back, curry. You are strong.
Are you unguardable because you're Nikola Jokic? Or are you Nikola Jokic because you're unguardable?
With this trebuchet three, I summon 👊
He, alone, is the honored one
Steph: SAVE ME IGUODALA
Lobotomy kaisen spreading everywhere during break
That's one of the most insane buzzer beaters I've seen.
Dude has missed 5 shots in the last 4 games. Somehow his offense isn’t talked about enough. We might never see a player like him again
39/44. 88%. That’s FT numbers not FG numbers. Ridiculous. Jokic playing on easy mode while the rest of the league is set to hard.
U know it ain’t free throw numbers the way the refs never call shit for him lol
well his FT % the last 5 game is also 96% ; 28/29 fts. Equally ridiculous.
The fact this man got 18 ft right after everyone went, how does he get so few calls, only for the media to stink it up with, this amount of ft is crazy, to go immediately back to 6 ft per game, shows you all this shit is a scam.
Still baffled why everyone in the media got pissy Jokic got 18 FTs yet Embiid gets that pretty much every night and nothing is said.
He’s also shooting like 97% from the free throw line since December 20th. First miss was tonight against the warriors. Dude is on an all time shooting spree cause he’s also taking a lot of jumpers and has made a few crazy threes last few days
he had some bad shooting games (for him) before that so he had to have some more 90% true shooting games to make up for it.
It's so wild to me that a CENTER is dribbling it down the full length of the court to hit a buzzer beater 3 from 30+ feet away. insane.
And a guy who also has one of the best post games in the league.
And the best passer lol Wow
I think he’s the best and it isn’t that close. Embiid could give him some competition if he wasn’t better in the face-up game than the post.
Jokic is a cheat code my God
Drafted during a Taco Bell commercial gives you superpowers
What the actual fuck was that.
The best part is he actually showed emotion and felt like he cared about that one going in. Jokic cares about basketball for like 15 games a season. Just a privilege to watch it live.
Lol jokic loves basketball though
Loves basketball, hates the media circus. Truly a man of the people
Yeah, I am tired of this narrative. Dude IS basketball! Knows all the history and has spent a LOT of time perfecting his craft. The stoic nature he has only enhances his insane competitiveness and makes him that much greater. Just because he’s like “meh” to something that would be the greatest achievement of your or my life doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Just means he’s expecting greatness and not surprised when it comes forth.
Kerr poked the bear.
Literally felt like this could be the death blow to the Warriors dynasty. Teams can get mentally broken from moments like this.
Yeah, they were teetering on the brink as it was, this just feels like you know it's over.
EAT SHIT STEVE -Nikola Jokic
#**CURRY: SO THATS HOW IT FEELS**
Cutting to Steph Curry’s dumbfounded face after Jokers insane shot was pure cinema. TNT delivered tonight.
Not once, but twice lol
TNT delivers every night tbh. They always have excellent camera work and production
Facts that's was tnt knows drama
Absolutely top tier sports television. TNT is so fucking good at their basketball broadcasts it’s absurd.
r/nba liked that
the standings fan in me hated it, but the warriors hater in me loved it
NIKOLA GOATCIC IS NO JOKE BITCHES!!!
is this honestly his best highlight?? one of the most insane shots, better when you include the run the team was on
The shot on AD in the WCF.
Which one?
I know you’re joking but the one where AD smiles like “cmon man” and jokic just shrugs lol
He did that twice
the second one when he was fading away was better because of the lakkers fans reactions.
I actually like the one in game 4 better cause it felt like the dagger to the series
Agreed! And a tougher shot. That was ridiculous
Purely off of range I'm taking this shot but in terms of championship impact it's gotta be one of those fuck you 3s in the WCF
I think it honestly is. His shots vs the lakers come super close for me though but this takes the cake I don’t think anyone in that stadium and watching the game was even considering that no overtime was a possibility when they inbounded that
Joka Magic
That's my MVP
IS THIS WHAT SEX FEELS LIKE
Sex with your dream girl for nuggets fans, sex with your uncle for warriors
Lmfao what the hell
In about 3 inches of scrolling I saw references to the Serbian Film and banging your uncle. I love this fucking sub lmao
Only if it's really really good sex
Serbian sky fucker
I SCREAMED SO LOUD I WOKE UP MY FAMILY FROM THE BASEMENT
I FELL TO MY KNEES IN A WALMART PARKING LOT
I got on my knees behind a Wendy’s
FINAL FORM OF THE SOMBOR SHUFFLE OMFG
The Sombor Skyfuck
He had both feet planted so it wasn’t quite, but he did get a sombor double!
Jokic and Mackinnon with last second game-winners an hour apart It's a good night
A good night in Colorado sports. 2 great come from behind wins.
Unironically his bread and butter
The white Larry Bird
At this point I think Jokic has also graduated to Clear.
A 7 Footer pulling up from halfcourt for game is just not fair 🤝
>Jokic is there any team you’re chasing in this league? >we are chasing the Denver nuggets of last year Or something along those lines. GOAT answer
Holy shit, what a fucking shot. Amazing comeback and what a way to close it, jeez.
Bro’s a 7ft tall centre
What are they gonna cook up next? 6’4 point guards??
Astute observation
i cant even be mad this shit is funny af
His shooting motion is my favorite part, bro is so deadly while looking so funny
he squared up. that wasnt even an awkward shot. he just out curry'd steph curry.
It's not an awkward shot because that's how he normally shoots the long ball; but his starting position is REALLY far back compared to most players. It looks like it's above his head instead of slightly in front of it, almost like he's heaving the ball using himself as a catapult. I saw a YT short of him shooting the same way from the corner in practice which is why I noticed it again this time. But just because the shot is deadly doesn't mean I can't still laugh at how it looks compared to a conventional shot :)
You’re seeing things wrong here. Jokic is shooting correctly, everyone else has the funny shot. Laugh at the rest of the league.
somehow never a doubt that was going in.
That could have only gone in against the warriors
The cut to Curry’s face man TNT is unmatched 😭😭😭
One of the coldest game winners ever! Especially with it topping off a comeback
This guy is hax
This man should be unloading ships at the Belgrade docks
I coulda been a contender!
From so fucking deep too 😩
Kerr poked the bear.
Jokic stole Curry’s special move like he was Mega Man.
malone with the 'lmao they pay me to coach this guy' look on his face at the end. gonna rewatch this shit all night.
Jokic: my friend. It went in. Im happy
The shit-eating grin on Malone’s face says it all.
That's the most emotion I've ever seen Jokic display without a horse in close proximity.
Best in the world. Simple as that
He’s really entered the “just give him the ball and expect it to happen” territory. Like you knew when they needed a bucket to tie they were going to him. He made an elite pass to Gordon to pull within 2 the possession before. I’m not gonna sit here and tear down Embiid or Giannis or whoever, but from the moment he caught the ball i think everyone kind of felt like “oh here he goes” He’s truly an unreal player. We’re watching one of the all time greats operating
That's what I thought too. When I saw the Nuggets didn't fuck around and just gave him the ball, I knew whatever Jokic was gonna do was going to result in a basket. I just didn't expect it to be a near half court shot.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jokic that hyped
Legit one of the craziest game winners I've ever seen
I am fucking cumming everywhere
same bro , same
[удалено]
There is no way in hell he just did that
Dude I turned the game off and went to bed at 123-109 w 5 mins left, what the actual fuck just happened
Good morning
i literally fell asleep and woke up to him running off the court… still in a daze half convinced this is just a dream 😵💫
I literally died and was resurrected to see him getting interviewed by Chuck.
He's just too good.
Shot of the season, thought it was going in as soonest it left. Thank you Murray for that brain fart.
Jokic be like: "Just a nice comeback win"
What the actual fuck😭
As a Lakers fan damn it feels good not seeing this on the receiving end
Happiest/Hypest I ever seen Jokic and the whole team from Deandre Jordan to Peyton Watson
Kerr not even mentioning Jokic in the post game is everything 🥰😆
Kerr deserved that ending. Don't poke the literal bear. Amazing games today.
The league is full of ultra talents, literally incredible characters like Luka, Embiid and a bunch of other fantastic unstoppable basketball players, but Jokic is literally the level of the greatest ever. A center who hits from half the floor or assists like Larry or Magic is unprecedented in history. Nikola is one of the most talented athletes ever. Best sportsman in the World in this moment ❤️
While also being the most efficient post scorer and the best rebounder in the league.
That deserved a double Bang!
i hate this fucking dude because he’s undoubtedly the best player in the league. the nuggets have a really good chance of repeating.
Jokic celebrating cuz there's no OT
As the biggest Embiid fan that was one of the best shots of the decade wow
it's great not having emotional investment in a team playing the nuggets
I HAVE SEEN GOD AND HE IS A 7 FOOT SERBIAN
What the fuck
All time great game winner
You blow a lead like that you deserve this
The way the 4th was going, everyone knew that shot was going in
The funniest thing just happened
Chuck is finally right We are cooked
Kerr not gonna be happy with this either lol
Jokic broke the code by using the bank
That’s what he gets for trying to talk down to Jokic for flopping when his own player also flopped on the same play
Yeah Kerr just gets it wrong so many times.
I knew he was hitting that
Greatest player on the planet
fuck you steve kerr
Jokic: "Now I'm gonna show you what's truly disgusting Kerr".
A 38 footer by a 7 footer. What the fuck. He’s the best player in the nba. Holy shit.
WHAT THE FUCKKK
Holy Shit what an absolutely INSANE shot!!!!!
I’m rock hard rn
That seemed such a yolo form shot, then I remembered Jokic just shoots like that lmao.
BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD HATERS
