He makes basketball look easy
mvp.
😁 Lets Go Nuggets 🏀
They really mess this up not giving this guy his 3rd in a row mvp. Now his on the journey to get that first ring. What a nice story if they give him what he deserve. But no they want to break that streak its because he will be compared to those legends who had 3mvp in a row
Make sure you guys get your lives right with God before its too late and you guys go to Hell. You gotta stop watching porn, cursing, smoking, having sex before marriage, practicing homosexuality, smoking weed, vaping, getting drunk, dressing immodest, showing off your body, lying, and stealing these are some sins that will send vou guys to Hell turn to Jesus Christ and let Him save you before its too late. Start reading the Bible and praying. Start a relationship with Jesus Christ because He's coming back soon and make sure vou know for sure vou would spend eternity with Him and that your not going to Hell by living in sin, we need to start living Holy.
MVP
My MVP🤡🤡🤡
Let's be honest. He's not as flashy as Michael Jordan but by any objective measure he is much better. He just doesn't have the rings yet. My guess is by the time his career ends he will have around 8 or 9.
I’m a Blazer fan but so much respect for this guy.. Consistently making the right play just dissecting defenses.. Probably the highest IQ player in the league today.. And the best offensive center I’ve seen
Had he played in the 50s everybody would say " …in today's NBA… ".
one question for ordinary and honest people, is Jokic MVP 2023?
stop giving away the ending in the title of your videos
The One and Only 2023 MVP
Real MVP!
Embiid CAN'T DO THIS!!!!
Most Sh** MVP for a regular season! Embiid is trash
Man this is 🤒. Who was picked to represent the West? Some of y'all floppin out this one. Where is… I mean who is…. Nevermind.
Jokic whenever he saw Ayton. BBQ 🍗
.., Jokic is Tito 🥇🏀®️
PISANJE PO DURENTU
Man always looks gassed and slow but can ball better than anyone 😂
Imagine a Philly vs Denver finals.
Every shot he makes under the basket looks like a lucky shot. I don't get it lol
Absolute MVP!!
Not some BLM bullshit
Jokic dominating Ayton like Giannis did in 2021
Maybe Jokic is better than Giannis after all
I just can't get over his touch. It's immaculate.
Joker is amazing. Wish the refs gave him more respect and called the fouls they call for KD & Booker all the time.
Unstopable!! My MVP!
Attaboy. Getting on the same lists as Magic huge averages in the playoffs, and beating Wilt for all time triple doubles in the playoffs.
What a pass by kcp 😳 2:19
How does skip get paid to continuously slander this man
Jokić

After Jokić
The de facto MVP.
KD is the softest player ever play the game. Every time he was posted by the Joker he turned to the refs showing the Joker's elbows. Drama queen.
Joker got everything, just not right skin color 🙁
Embid mvp hahahahahahahaha
Joker is MVP numbers dont lie
You can tell by the way the rest of the team moves the ball that they all learn from playing with Jokic. This mans ball iq is spreading to his teammates, and the product is probably the most well coordinated and creative shot-making team right now. As a Celtics fan who wants to break the TV watching our offense right now, I envy this team. Close it out tonight guys!
People who think basketball is about muscled bodies, fancy moves etc…and can't see there is much more to it, will never trully appreciate Jokic's greatness.
