Michael Malone who's the coach of the nuggets said this about Jokic: "I never coached Tim Duncan. But Nikola is the closest thing I've ever seen in all the years in basketball that I have coached to Tim Duncan. Just like Tim he does his thing." And he does it very very well. But he also has a team around him that understand what he does.

Man this breakdown of plays is so amazing.

Jokic's awareness in terms of passing, his reads, when to score, indentification of who is hot is legendary and we're seeing it now. His genius is simply--make a mistake, he is going to make you pay. Heat in trouble.

The Joker is NOT affected in any way by the enviroment around him; he just doesn't care about media, social media, rant, scuffles.... He just plays his way every time

Jokic,a basketball genius he will pass ball at the right time at the right place.perfect timing

Just turns out the Nuggets at 100% will beat the lakers at 100% not easily but still decisively. I fear the heat isn`t good enough to make the nuggets and mainly the Joker show us how amazing they can be.

Kendrick Perkins is a former centre that spent 15 years in the NBA, has been paid to watch Jokic for years and came to the conclusion that Jokic is a stat-padder that didn't deserve his MVPs.

It was a participation trophy, not an award.

Jokic did what he was supposed to do as the center early in the game. He rebounded, got everyone else involved with his passing and protected the basket. He then provided points as needed down the stretch, while staying out of the way of his play makers throughout the entire game.He knows he's not a guard and doesn't clog the lanes that they use or occupy the space that they need to make plays! Take notes Embid!"

Jokic aka Mr Fundamental 2.0!!! Pure basketball. No flares, no fancy shots, just wants to win!!!

Tim is right about forcing Jokic to score and not getting the others going - BUT that's an easy timeout adjustment for Denver - "Jokic they are daring you to score - we know youre not selfish - but let's get this ship" I'm sure none of the players would be upset if Jokic took over

Wait, this is ESPN with a good breakdown of a basketball game? Who knew they had it in themselves.

Tim along with Jason Timpf would be great analysis

Great analysis!

Jokic @ 6'11", Porter @ 6'10", Aaron @ 6'8", KCP @ 6'5", and Murray @ 6'4". What strategies will work against the biggest team in the NBA today? Everything else equal, none. Teams will be scrambling to find legit 5s and big 4s to just catch up to the Nuggets. And then they are still smaller at the 3, 2, & 1. So yeah, Nuggets could win at least 2 championships with this squad.

Now, here's I guy that knows what he's talking about. Actually, two guys.

It does really matter. The way the ball hits your hands as your stepping up or out and the timing in stride it along with the english to lead. I could always feel when a good pass came out to me or fell on with timing in stride .. it just feels right and makes shots hard to miss.. its the English on the ball even if no left or right english to get a better angle the ball needs a good back spin or of in transition need top spin to lead into position.

As a miami heat fan i honestly think that this will end 4-1 denver winning the championship. 1st they dont have the size to guard jokic, 2nd heats bruteforce defence is nullified by denvers ball movement 3rd jimmy buckets has porter guarding him which is a bad match up for his midrange shooting being smaller 4th. Those undrafted players have reached their limit already by being defended accordingly.

Miami won every game 1 of the series and won them all but tonight thta ended and ugly! Denver in 5 or 6 games and get their first title in the Nuggets history.
