Stop trying to make H-town a thing. It's lame.
The best center in the NBA is Jokic. MVP.
Imagine how frustrated Murray must be feeling. The year b4 bubble, he didnt play as he wanted.
Then during the bubble, he finally played his heart out and ALMOST won it all.
This year was gonna be his return 😭😭
The commentator wants KJ Martin challenge to block bolbol, but KJ in the backcourt
Tough loss? It was a blowout!
If you watch one highlight today, watch the one at 5:06
DENVER Nuggets 128 vs 99 HOUSTON Rockets
The Rockets management must be happy now that they’re officially in last place. They just need to maintain that till the end of the season to get a lot of ping pong balls.
Free Bol Bol
No JOKE out there with an afternoon of basketball…I'm done….
You can tell these rocket announcers want to be nuggets fans
Imagine Jokic with Klay and Steph. It would look so beautiful.
Houston needs Dwight Howard to defend Jokic
6:09 A basketball announcer giving medical advice really sums up the world's approach to health issues, these days.
Dr. Basketball Announcer can take his mask and shove it.
Nikola mvp
Why's the camera looks so shaky btw?
Over 26.5 Thank You !
I don't know enough about this 'Tate' guy, but I'm paying attention from now on.
3:35 old man!
The disrespect towards Olynyk continues!
2nd time he scored most points for his team, both times ignored on the tumbnail
seeing rockets losing is so depressing
Jokic MVP
Putting up numbers in 27 min?
The love for Jokic, we got here home and abroad alike, is great man. Like David Rob back in the day. It feels good when we can all, for the most part, celebrate an awesome campaign. These warriors battling, all we need is the snacks. Well… and to be safe. Thx and peace.
Meanwhile…ESPN and NBA still stuck at 720p.
YA REALIZE THAT EVRY GAME THE ROCKETS LOSE LOL
go watch 5:06
5:46 bruh the ref 💀 “Can’t feel good about being down by 20”
‘We don’t need Harden’
I find myself extremely fortunate to be able to watch former NBA players sons play in the League.
Love is life.
Life's worth living.
Very special.
Peace.
Nuggets need to get a pure scorer, a TJ Warren type or Jalen Brunson, that's all they need! But what the hell, they always find a way to win.
My boy MPJ be slayin
MVP MVP MVP
Jokic will win MVP this year. If he doesn't, I'll be pissed.
If Joker is the MVP over Embiid because he didn't miss any games than it should be the perfect attendance award.
Denver is not 1st or second in the west. Embiid has his team 1st in the east. And is better offensive and defensive player than Jokic
Jokic the best point center ever‼️
Rewinded 5 times Joker’s assist, no look behind his head. How did he see Dozier cutting??!! Mind boggling!
Peope say joker is playing like he's out of this world. He's from GOTHOM bro!
Yet Tim Legler went on that Embiid has made himself the clear MVP from last nights close win over the Clippers with no Kawhi, while ignoring what Jokic did again with only getting half the number of free throws on vastly superior shooting efficiency and overall efficiency. Like it goes completely unnoticed that the Nuggets actually beat the Clippers recently with Kawhi playing
Embiid is the MVF (Most valuable free throw shooter)
MVP race is about how valuable you are and how you impact your teammates. People who say Embiid or Curry or Dame etc. don't understand the concept.
Over the past 5-6 years, Jokic has impacted, even developed into superstars most of his teammates. After leaving Denver, many have faded away: Faried, Mudiay, Craig, Nelson, Hernangomez, Beasley, Chandler, Lyles.. and they all had their professional peak while playing with Jokic. Even Gallo said he had the most fun playing with Joker.
In addition it is fascinating how fast MPJ developed playing alongside Jokic, he is already a home grown Superstar. Or Dozier, young and talented gun who would've been less than an average on any other team, but is shaping into a valuable piece. But the most impressive is the development of Barton who was one of the most selfish players and now is a legitimate star that has 4-5 assists per game – his stock has skyrocketed as his understanding of the game of basketball has changed.
Who did Embiid, Cury or Dame impacted from their team mates to grow and buy into their basketball philosophy? Jokic is larger than the game of basketball, he is a club culture. It is not only his assists on paper, it's the screen assists and the way he makes his team mates move into a meaningful sets.
Of course, he wouldn't be who he is, if there was no Malone (and Ogi). Malone is a pure basketball breed, his dad was phenomenal coach that knew basketball inside out. And not to forget Tim Connelly – the brain behind everything. First he shipped out very good Nurkic to get Jokic grow, and then he let Grant go, so MPJ can have all the space he needs. How brilliant is that?
And some salty Philly Fans think glass Embiid is MVP lmao
Some can't stand the fact that the best player in Basketball is a White Serbian
Philly Fans hate Jokic and Nuggets because they can't forget their golden Boy Ben Loud mouth Simmons got ran over by smaller guy in nba with Faccu.
Dear Philly Fans who want to think Glass Embiid is MVP and want to rip Jokic let me remind you that even playing against the worst team in NBA is more impressive then Multiple DNP-Injury
Idk about what anyone says this was the best part of the game 7:11 💯
Why did the nuggets player give the ball to his teammate b4 4th quarter ended.
I like these announcers
John Wall does jack shiit for houston. C'mon man lift that team. Nuggets in 4
"Monte Morris the only starter out there right now for the Nuggets"
Bro, the MVP is standing right there in the paint.
