imagine more than a few voters regret their rationale last season and may lean his way as a make-up.

it was so funny watching those guys backpedal like deion after the sixers flamed out last spring. i love wilbon, but you could see him convincing himself all season long that embiid deserved to be mvp. then when the playoffs happened and Jokic was doing Wilt shit while embiid was wilting (pun intended), wilbon just had to eat it with a sheepish grin on his face for a few days. and i don’t think he even voted anymore. i imagine the ones who really put their name on that ballot must be even more embarrassed.

    I'm extremely happy for Jokic and the Nuggets. But most of all, I'm excited for the strength and conditioning coach. My girlfriend played basketball at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in A

    Please indulge me the sin of a self-quote. From this thread's second post, three years ago: So glad that Jokic won't be one of those greats to never get a ring.

Perhaps my favorite Jok stat line ever tonight.

4/16/7 with 5 blocks on 67% shooting. He was 2/3 from the field in a blowout against the Pistons. He only played 24 min.

This is the absurdity that Jokic deals with every night.  Even after watching in slow-mo it doesn't make any sense.  He gets fouled almost every posession.  And yet only shoots 5.6 FTs per game.

 

 

He’s played 39 games this season (inactive for 1). 
 

In 34 of those games he has 4 turnovers or less. 
 

In 28 of those games he has 3 turnovers or less. 

25 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block in a win vs Indiana. 12/13 from the field, 1/2 from the line. typical jokic stat line.

It's really a shame the NBA voters robbed Jokic of an MVP 3peat last year. Embiid is probably going to win it this year if he continues his current pace and doesn't get injured.  If he does, then they will be in the same predicament next year when he will be going for a 3peat and they will have to pivot again to avoid it for whatever reasons. It's just stupid to turn the MVP award into some popularity contest instead of the typical "best individual player throughout the season." 

jokic last 9 games:

22.7 pts, 9.8 reb, 9.6 ast, 1.3 blk, 1.1 stl

81% FG, 75% 3P, 85% FT

i seriously doubt that there has ever been a nine game stretch like this in the history of basketball.

his efficiency is just other worldly. To do all he does and toss in 80+% FG shooting is nuts.

ho hum. can’t wait to see all of the writers and voters bend over backwards to explain why they voted for tatum over jokic for mvp lol. i’m sure it’ll work out for tatum the same way it did for embiid. 

Tatum has zero case. Look for everyone to pile on the SGA wagon if OKC gets the 1 seed. 

Close game. Denver's down a point with about 4 minutes left. Haha just kidding, not really that close.

And the thing is, he really doesn't have to make that many overt plays. Yes, there's a block, a steal, some key buckets and an assist, but there's also that intangible aspect--he makes everyone around him better.

Boggles the mind.

I've seen him do that probably half a dozen times this year.  Makes me chuckle every time.


Absolutely filthy.. especially the last pass to KCP
The lob pass that he batted to Braun in the corner was crazy, too.

This one against the Spurs was an all timer. I saw it live from another angle, and it may have been even more impressive.

What is it with retired NBA guys who feel they need to take shots at Jok?  Last year it was Perk (who has since recanted) and now Arenas.  It's like they can't process that the best player in the league right now is a big, slow white dude who can't jump.

Oh, yeah, don't let me leave out Mark Jackson who left Jokic off his MVP ballot altogether last year.  Then claimed it was an accident.

Not often you find a bulky 7-footer with a touch floater. Can't imagine how many thousands of hours he needed to develop that.

I’ve noticed this about joker…

He absolutely limp wrists some wide open bunnies. Like he expects some sort of defensive resistance, it doesn’t show and he’s so wide open he doesn’t have quite the touch lol.

He’s done quite a few times this series…he makes this crazy and 1, then barely draws iron on a uncontested floater

He cooked embiid so bad that Joel is slated to miss the next 3 away games in denver
That motherfucker might never play in Denver again.

his statue in denver needs to come replete with arm scratches.


Why is this in the Jokic thread?

All Embiid needed to beat Jokic and a bunch of guys was LeBron, KD And Steph. Good job.
