With his unorthodox style, unparalleled court vision, and ability to dismantle defenses, Jokic has single-handedly redefined the center position. His impact extends beyond stats, inspiring a new breed of skilled big men and cementing his place as a true game-changer in basketball history.

    What's truly freakish about Jokic is his instant and unfailingly correct decision making.
  • Jokic is so consistent that people are already forgetting what he's doing is something special..
  • @kiliankeil1985
    I love how jokic most of the time when he hits a game winner or something is just cool, but when one of his teammates do it he is totally hyped😂
  • Insane how he almost went undrafted. Makes me wonder how many other potential superstars have been overlooked for not fitting a stereotype.
  • @ericmarcos7063
    The players and coaches who taught Jokic the game deserves as much appreciation as well.
  • @giladgur1703
    In an interview, Jokic mentions Vlade Divac, Dirk Nowitzky, Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw as his basketball heroes and influences.

    I mean, to be drafted during a Taco Bell commercial to becoming a 2 time MVP, Finals MVP, a champion, is insane. Greatest success story in the NBA.
  • @vlada
    His ability to solve a player, a defensive system or situation is exceptional. He adapts to different situations with different solutions, from bullyball to 3pointers. A friend used the Bruce Lee's "Be water." saying to describe his effortless action and ability to adapt to certain situations, grow, and change.
  • @user-majb4c2d0e
    I think we entered his era when he won his first MVP title (at least)
  • People don’t give Jokic enough credit for the amount of work he puts in. After every single game he power lifts for 1 1/2 hours. He grinds like Kobe
  • a youtuber who actually correctly pronounced Divac's last name. That alone deserves a subscribe and a like
  • @lmchankins
    It makes sense why Jokic is a great passer; it's the same reason the NFL covets tall QBs, they can generally see over everyone.
  • @Dex000x
    This is the best Joker video I've seen in a very long time.
  • @glovs4188
    Basketball fans just dont understand that strenght is way more important than athleticism. And jokic is among the strongest if not the strongest players out there.
  • @nickwilson7241
    Joker had 1 year of having his era, and now it's already the Ant era
  • @razvigor1985
    Jokic is playing waterpollo on the basketball court basically. Just watch any waterpollo game, ex. Serbia Nacional team and you will see every single angle, soft/quick pass, long distance pass, ball handling in his game. Its easy for him because he trained waterpollo and only difference is you dont have 300+ pounds dude trying to drown you into the poll. 🤣

    You didn't mention how dangerous Jokic's floater game. You'll never know if it's a shot or a lob
