Jokic’s career highlights once he retires will be endless

Jokic gives off the strongest Dad playing pickup with little boys type of vibes...

The pass around Robinson’s ear is insane. Not only does jokic do a no look, he also switches hands. I also didn’t realize how involved jokic was off and on the ball.

Just a daily reminder that Jokic was Pick 41 in the draft. And the man's about to win MVP. Damn.

I love Jokic just because he slows the game down, and does it all so nonchalantly that you don't realise he's giving your team 25 15 10 with ease

I clicked faster than a Jokic's no-look pass

Jokic resume is insane. He just won the NBA Championship and FMVP. His playoff run was legendary

I'd do anything to watch Curry and Jokic play together, that offence would be amazing!

Nothing better than kicking back on a Friday and watching some Thinking Basketball

I respect what Steph is doing this year, he’s playing out of his mind. That said, Jokic is the MVP.

Jokic is like the Basketball Pirlo: he runs the offense while making incredible passes look easy, from a position where the ability to stop attacks is most often seen as of the utmost importance. That's one real tall regista they got over there in Denver! He is making beautiful basketball music. May we hear him deep into summer for many years to come.

Remember when everyone laughed when Gregg said that he is Larry Bird like, well who is laughing now xD

I'll save this and watch it when I have a fat blunt in my hand tonight. You're blunt worthy, thinking basketball

Joker is like the 2014 Spurs combined in one player.

Remember when Gregg Popovich said he was Larry Bird-esque and the media shit on that take? Yeah this is some Larry Bird shit man. As someone too young to see Larry Bird do his magic but has seen videos (like the greatest peak episode) this just makes me soo happy. This guy is making history and I think calling him a 7 foot Larry Bird isn't outrageous anymore. Absolutely beautiful.

He is the best late pick of all time.

His most valuable trait is that he gets his teammates PAID! just look at the contracts players sign after they have been playing with him for a few seasons!:O

Thank you Ben, on behalf of all basketball fans. It's so good to see authentic, knowledgeable basketball analysis.

I still remember when people doubted this guy ever since he blew up

This man is quietly one of if not the most special player I think in NBA history. I know he hasn’t proven himself over many years like other greats but he’s on pace for something I think a lot more significant than people realize.

Perfect answer to last night's Shaq rant about MVP for Embid over Jokic.

9:36 this is incredible

Joker's so fucking good that he's pretty much faking out even the viewer. I'm constantly caught off guard with the insane angles he sees. Also, I don't think I've seen Ben audibly gush so much when discussing any player, past greats included. Jokic is just something else!

GOAT offensive season from any big, still played all games, Nuggets are 2nd worse offense without him, thats my MVP for this season

This is a work of art, sir. Well done. (Raises glass).

You describe these highlights better than anyone on espn or other tv sports networks

Man just the way he passes into the cutters is beautiful, it has a flow to it. It’s like watching a bunch of passes get completed at once in soccer or a long rally in tennis, it’s beautiful and mesmerizing

When the season started, I put my money on Embiid to be the MVP. But I still really hope Jokic wins it. How could anyone not love this guy?

Coming back to this because it was a great watch ,I don’t believe I was sleeping on jokic for so long. The fact that he has pretty much been like this since he came in the league ,just needed the time and faith instilled into him

Its immense to watch the difference between this video and his earlier one. His game has just evolved into perhaps, the ideal offensive weapon. Hes the engine for an offense but doesnt hog the rock. He can shoot which means he can play a strong offball scoring as well as passing game. He creates his own offense when it is needed but finds better offense constantly. Of course hes also probably the best passing big man ever. You really cant stop an offense like that with scheming. You may not like but thats what peak performance looks like. Great video.

Don't let Shaq watch this, his head might explode

He reminds me of when our coach used to play with us when we had people missing. He was slow but making shots from everywhere and passing when we didn't even know we were open

He is like a veteran gymnast. He moved not as explosive as a younger gymnast, but he honed the small detail to make it as graceful as possible.

The best analytical video ever about the MVP, Jokic.

You didn’t even include his insane one-motion rebound-into-outlet passes. This man is breaking the MVP stereotype.

I'm a simple man I see Nikola Jokic I click

I swear to god if Joker doesn't get MVP I am going to be so mad.

It will be an absolute travesty if Jokic does not win the MVP. And knowing him, he wouldn't care at all.

He plays like a veteran but is still young as hell for a complete player like him

Dude is like the Tom Brady of centers. He's never gonna beat you with his size or athleticism, but rather with his brains and decision-making. His willingness to confine to his role and not overdo things opens up a lot of opportunities for his teammates to make plays. He doesn't even need to be a strong defensive presence like Embiid in order for the opposing team to fear him. His game is so simple yet so fun to watch. Really looking forward to seeing more of this guy in the next 10-15 years.

The last player who was amazing at everything Jokic is at is Larry legend, these guys are generational talents who could pass, layup, steal, block, rebound, etc... we are witnessing history

The most exciting "what's gonna happen next" moment in basketball: Jokic standing still, holding the ball aloft in one hand. Sabonis did that too.

We're witnessing another all time-great

Jokic is now leading his team in every single statistical category, including spg and bpg. He is going to go down as one of the best and most complete players in NBA history.

So nice of you to make a video about the MVP

Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokic are briliant mind sportsmen.

Jokic is just such a joy to watch. Its inspiring basketball.

What's crazy is watching videos like these and thinking that you somehow didn't mention everything. There's just too much incredible offensive weaponry on display to break it all down in such a short video. For example, how Jokic somehow ramps it up even further in the clutch, with ice in his veins so cold he doesn't even react when he hits a game tying buzzer beater (Dallas earlier this year). Or how he knows his teammates so well (or is it that he's trained them?) that he can make passes to people that he clearly doesn't actually see, but knows are there anyway. I'm not talking about people standing out on their spots on the 3pt line, either. This is on cuts and broken plays (see the pass leading to Jamal's game tying buzzer beater vs the Bulls this year). All I know is that as a fan of Denver sports, I feel incredibly blessed to have Jokic on the Nuggets. There's no other player I'd rather have on the team I cheer for. There's just something magical about watching someone play every single game and yet still finding myself surprised at the passes he makes, the shots he hits, and the way he somehow gets better every single day.

In this video Jokic is described as possibly having best offensive season ever for a big…and it was for last year! This season he improved even more! Per 100 possessions his scoring increased 1.4pts, rebound increased an amazing 5.1reb, and true shooting increased 0.6%. While asst went down 0.5ast per 100, his asst % went up 2.5%.

im watching this from above and I still can't see how he saw the passes that he does, it just outright amazes me

I don't get how anyone can say this man is boring to watch. The vision he has on the court is unreal. Haven't seen anything like it since Stockton and Magic.

Do Luka next! Jokic and Luka are my two favorite players to watch they are so skilled and savvy

Jokic reminds me of how Duncan and Diaw played with all those hand off and rub offs in the spurs system. Love watching him and hope he continues to even get better. Way to make the bigman position dominant during todays guard oriented style💪🏻

Most underated mvp ever

When you said Jokic was very "in control" around the 8 minute mark I honestly think thats one of the best ways to describe him. He is always somehow in control of every situation its honestly magical

jokic is an example that bird could still dominater today. Bird would LITERALLY play like jokic but with better shooting and klay thompson like off ball movement

Let's a go amazing thanks dude jokic is goated this year 🐐👍👋🏆 hell yeah

One of the Best YT channels on Sports period

This is why the Nuggets are entertaining to watch. I hope he wins MVP, considering most of the top candidates were out injured.

What does Embiid, Lebron, Curry, Dame, Luka, and Giannis have in common? All 6 disliked this video

I love the Joker. He makes everything look so simple. That's incredible. If Nuggets get healthy before the playoffs, they would be the dark horse in the West and very tough out

3:34 That was one of the most insane reads I've ever seen. He knew Paul George was going to rotate onto the cutter and passed to the corner before it even happened, catching PG13 off guard and not giving #33 the chance to rotate to the corner. Genius

Who else is here after 2k/1k/500 stats. Dude is a beast! Much respect!

Two years later and he’s only gotten better, wining back to back MVPs, finals championship, and finals MVP. Maybe a few more MVPs and championships and he’ll go down as a GOAT candidate.

Who is else is watching after he just won his first ring?

He's a create a player come to life. It's unreal. He's a giant Larry Bird. That's almost unstoppable. If they get the right team around him, the nuggets could win a championship.

I think he has a potential to be the greatest center of time !

I don't know a lot about basketball but this guy seems amazing with such a chill, easy energy

I have been waiting for this one

These analyses are incredibly well-crafted.

I found this through suggested videos and I must say this is exactly what ive been looking for, for me that doesnt know basketball to well you do a great job breaking it down. Thank you sir!

Lets just say it. He's the MVP this year

Knew 2 years ago when I saw this kid that he was going to be unstoppable. As a 50 year old hooper, I can say that this is how all old ballers come to play. When the athleticism and the first step is gone, you then lean on your understanding of movement, both for yourself and others. I coach high school basketball and this is exactly how I abuse our Varsity players. Very few of them can I beat 1 v 1, although I'm still a tough out for them, but I am easily the best playmaker on the floor when we go 5 v 5 in practice. I try to help them see that you don't have to be Michael Jordan to be absolutely great at basketball. You do, however, need incredible fundamentals and a dash of creativity. The fact that the Joker has this exquisite acumen at his age means he will be a perennial All Star and will go down as the best playmaking Big of all time. In a league that almost killed the Center position forever, he serves as an exciting reminder why a great one is priceless!

i´ve been waiting to see this video, great work, grettings from Chile!

Jokic plays the most casual basketball of all time. He makes it look absolutely effortless.

MVP MVP. Brilliantly articulated. One of the very best channels on UKposts. Thank you 🙏

I’m a simple man. I see Thinking Basketball, I click like.

This is the most complete and accurate analysis of the Joker that I watched. Thank you.

Wow. Just wow. Such an awesome channel. How the heck are you not working on espn or something like that, your insight of the game is off the charts. Keep up the great work man.

Your videos get me through the day sometimes man. ❤️.

He deserves an MVP for this season. His numbers don't have many FT's behind them as well.

I think you’ve just strengthened his MVP case! Great video

A very accurate and poetic analysis. Thank you!

Terrific film work! I appreciate doing a deep dive on Nikola Jokic, a player that is often difficult for the average fan to understand why he is so dominant. ❤️ 🏀🤯

I’m not going to lie it’s really amazing how Jokic and Embiid improve their games in these seasons. They both are really good mvp candidates, but I do say Jokic does win it because of Embiid’s miss games. But I’m just happy to see them revive the Center Postion

He sorta reminds me of Bill Walton using his height and vision ad fore thought to read and throw the best dimes at even the smallets windows by cutters, but don't get me wrong Walton is probably the very best I have ever seen at getting to cutters. Also he's a bit Bird or Jordan like where he uses his transcendental off ball package to mix his playmaking and scoring! Look at Jokic man so inspirational!

bro I love you never stop making content

This is the best Jokic video along with the Pink Floyd one I just watched. Great work man. This is so fun to watch. He's just a master of his craft. Too good

Wonderful essay on a wonderful player.

He could legit be one of the top 15 players all time if he can get some titles... the skill and talent is there.

Hey Ben! I’ve always thought you produced a great product, but this might be the video that puts me over the edge and makes be a patron. Just wanted to say to keep up the great work. I’m always looking forward to your content!

I started to believe in Jokic when it was between him or Nurkic for the Nuggets execs to make a decision. I was impressed by his game but the moment someone pointed out the Larry Bird comparisons on their passing game (amazing passers in motion, EZ touch passing, uncanny footwork for their respective sizes), defense (very smart, doesn't give up on their man), the post moves (That soft touch that is a trademark of skilled offensive big scorers) and having a similar fade away game, I became enamored and have an even deeper respect for one of the few modern bigs I really like. I always believed that Bird's playstyle would be a monster in the modern era in terms of high tier winning basketball and Jokic for the most part validates that. Jokic having a nose for his own putback from a missed shot is a trademark of his game due to lack of explosiveness. On a 6'9" 230 lbs frame its a bit awkward and a necessity. But on a 7 foot 285 ballerina, you could not have found a better partner.

this is quite literally the first youtube vid I have ever watched

1:56 welcome to the today's basketball where a 5'10 point guard is making a screen for a p&r for 7' center

Beautiful video! I remember your last video on Nikola I watched it 10 times and this one is no exception

Did not realize he was this deep from a viewers standpoint his game looks so slow but in reality it is very technical

Finaly some love on jokic's name! 🔥

Jokic is so awkward looking in the post and his post moves but then it goes in anyway. It's actually super fun to watch.

I’ve been waiting for this video! Thank you so much.

Yessss I’ve been waiting on this!! Jokic is the best offensive big man I’ve ever seen. He can be a #1 option on a championship team.
