Since December 2022 I've tweeted over 1,300 videos + images. It's too much. So I've filtered out the best stuff (imo) to my Highlights section.
If you like Jokic it's a pretty good way to spend a couple of hours.
Kendrick Perkins vs JJ Reddick - Full Segment regarding Jokic, stat padding, mvp voting. (Warning: video contains heavy traces of nonsense and filibustering)
Serbian legend and tennis GOAT, Novak Djokovic, discusses his admiration for Nikola Jokic.
"He's the pride of serbia, we're so proud of him. We hope he can win his first ring"
#MileHighBasketball
Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix talks the Denver Nuggets media gripe.
"they're just not a compelling team to talk about - to write about"
Worth noting that
@SIChrisMannix
and his cohort are compelled by attention. And financial return. They peddle NBA sugar, not basketball.
Draymond talks Nikola Jokic after Nuggets left the Chase Center with the W.
"He was brilliant. And he's in incredible shape - y'all should've seen him run the floor."
Montrezl Harell is asked who is harder to guard - Giannis, Embiid or Jokic?
His answer is emphatic.
"He's choreographing this whole thing on the floor -from the 5 spot, bro. And I ain't even talked about when he done gone ahead and put a bucket on you."
Demarcus Cousins talks Nikola Jokic.
"Once he hangs his shoes up, he'll go down as one of the greatest to ever touch a basketball and that's facts. That's just a fact. "
"I’m not a two-time MVP, I’ve never made first team All-NBA, I’ve never won anything. So why is there pressure on me to do something when there are guys that have won two MVPs, a bunch of MVPs and haven’t done anything either?" - Embiid.
Cowardly words. & now they'll haunt him
Hey
@Rjeff24
how do you appear so confident when speaking such gibberish? Doesn't seem smart - but I'll admit you're perfect for TV! Some examples from just the 1st quarter of the game that aired the night b4 you made the claim. There are many many many more.
#MileHighBasketball
In February 2017 Nikola Jokic received the game ball from Coach Malone for achieving the first triple-double of his NBA career. Here's what Nikola had to say about the moment.
(He's currently 6th on the all-time triple-double leaders list; 3 TDs from 4th place.)
NBA Sportscaster Lisa Salters talks Nikola Jokic after her first time watching him.
"I gotta admit, I've been sleeping on this guy."
#MileHighBasketball
Indiana's Myles Turner discusses the difference between guarding Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.
"The way my mind is built - I'm more of a fan of the art, right? The art of the game. When Jokic goes out there, he's literally painting himself on that canvas."
#MileHighBasketball
Suns backup center Jock Landale talks about the plays that really made him realise that Jokic is different.
The full interview is fantastic. See comment below.
#MileHighBasketball
Peyton Watson comments on Jokic's inbound pass to AG in Memphis. At least HE got a good look at it 👀
"it was the greatest pass I've ever seen in person"
AG: "Nikola Jokic is a great guy, and I will only be part of an organization that he's a part of... Let me repeat that - Nikola Jokic is a great guy, and I will only be part of an organization that he's a part of"
NBA Champion DeAndre Jordan shares some thoughts on Nikola Jokic.
What he explains very well is the impact Nikola's humility has on the team. If your best player is never "bigger than the team", then on what grounds could any other player try it?
#MileHighBasketball
Gary "Gary Harris" Harris and Jeff Teague discuss Nikola Jokic.
"He didn't really wanna win that MVP this year. Once they started talking about all the other stuff - the different narratives - he was just like, I'm cool, I'm straight."
Draymond (with Jamal Crawford) picks the 4 players to go play in the roughest/toughest basketball match.
He chooses Bron, Ja, SGA and Jokic.
"He an animal!... And he nice."
Draymond Green on his own show spends 21 minutes talking about last night's Game 4. Roughly 40 seconds of that time is spent talking about Denver, though no time is actually allocated to them. I guess "new media" just "old media" on YouTube.
Had MPJ not darted for the perimeter, we could have been looking at a pass of the decade. If you experience most of Jokic's game via highlights - you're missing out.
Legendary NBA coach Rick Adelman talks Nikola Jokic as he watches him courtside.
"I've never seen a guy pass the ball the way he passes the ball - I don't care if it's a guard, forward or center."
"I wish I had him and I would've been a REALLY good coach"😂

1 Denver Nuggets Championship
I can't really provide a good reason for doing any of this. I'm not from the US or Serbia. I don't really have the spare time. I just knew a)…
Jokic is not the chosen one. He wasn't promoted entering the league or as he grew. He wasn't just handed the keys to his franchise. He was never given the benefit of the doubt - because he earned every grace he receives.
He is the unchosen one. The one who said fuck the media;…
Jason and Chris discuss whether or not Jokic has had an all-time great playoffs.
They say no because he dominated everybody.
Low-key haters.
Denver's first championship. Breaks a tonne of records. Sweeps LeBron who they both picked. Plays the game like the greats. He had no…
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau on the value that a player like Jokic brings to a team and organisation.
"With a player like Nikola, is more important to take away the shot or the pass?"
"That's a great question. I think the entire league is trying to figure it out"
Jokic on what he learned about himself from the championship.
The man is straight up saying he'd rather give no answer than feed us bullshit. Love to see it.
The worst part about everybody watching Jokic dominate in the Finals - people are all of sudden experts in his career and game. This sort of smug baseless statement is just another example of media personalities leaning into casual narratives and calling it analysis
@Foxworth24
After years of hearing that people only advocate for Jokic in award season because of his "analytics", it's so vindicating to watch James Worthy look beyond the actual numbers and directly at HOW Jokic goes about getting his numbers.
Steve Smith and Dennis Scott talk Nikola Jokic on NBA Gametime after the Nuggets take down Sac. Great segment.
"It's hard sometimes for this generation to accept that he's the perfect poster-child for playing the right way."
Austin Reeves talks Nikola Jokic after Nuggets take the season sweep.
"How did Jokic takeover tonight's game?"
"The same way he takes over every game."
Draymond talks Nikola Jokic after Nuggets left the Chase Center with the W.
"He was brilliant. And he's in incredible shape - y'all should've seen him run the floor."
Thomas Bryant describes the moment in Game 3 when Jokic lost his temper with the team. (Clip of timeout added).
"I don't f**king care about scoring. Just play the right f**king way"
Windy, Lowe and Lowe talk Nuggets/Lakers Game 2.
"As far as I'm concerned, the Nuggets are basically on schedule and it's the Lakers that are over-achieving at this point."
#MileHighBasketball
So
@NBA
just dropped an hour long Jokic documentary.
He might just be the face of the league whether he likes it or not. Greatness can have that effect.
Props to
@CutonDime25
for thinking about the Jokic/MVP picture beyond the usual tired talking points. This just shows the value of having an experienced athlete on your panel. Careful though - you keep talking all that sense and you might find yourself out of a job on television.
At a certain point the conversation changed from "Giannis and Jokic are the best players in the league" to "Jokic is the clear best player in the league" and the Bucks fanbase is having a very, very difficult time accepting this.
I actually can’t describe how much I can’t stand Jokic Stan’s they are by far the worst sports fanbase that I have ever talked to they are actually the definition on brainrot and they are the reason NBA twitter is getting so much worse
NBA champ DeAndre Jordan tells a story about Jokic from the finals.
@nuggets
rolled out the prospector material for their ring night promo but June 26th 2014 is the day their organisation hit the mother lode.
@SpikeEskin
I've never been encouraged to defend bron - but this is one of those times.
To me he's clearly implying initially that he plays a lot of chess on the court. You're packaging a bad faith interpretation and pushing it as certainty with a click baity title. Which is a pity because…
Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra press conderence - Isolated Nuggets questions.
"If Murray didn't get hurt they probably would have already had a couples of Finals births"
#MileHighBasketball
Legs is the only one out there stating the obvious.
"Watch what's about to happen".
And he's not just talking about the Lakers series. The Nuggets are about to make this whole game look way too easy - again.
Nick Wright picks Miami to beat Denver in 6 because... Malone called out the media,
and Jokic put manners on the Morris brother.
I'm speechless.
#MileHighBasketball
Rondo is asked how he'd guard Jokic if he was a coach in the league.
"If II was a west coast team my two bigs would probably be watching Joker the entire year"
Mark Jackson (yes, THAT Mark Jackson) schools his son on the greatness of Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
"He's an absolute all-time great. Not just one of the greatest centers to ever play this game, but one of the greatest basketball players ever."
Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen talks Nikola Jokic. (published during playoffs)
"That guy is the best player in basketball. He's the best player. Ain't no doubt sbout it... And I love Embiid. I think he had a great season. But if I had a vote, he woulda three-peated"
