Saw that Jokic needs 72pts and 14rebs to become the FIRST and ONLY player to reach 2000pts, 1000rebs and 500ast in one season...

Once Jokic scores 1999 points during the 2021-22 season's very last game I see Malone call him out of the game :lol:

When he was stuck at 29pt (2pts away), thought you had jinxed it ...but he did it !

Who would expect from Euro chubby #41 pick to become a back-2-back MVP and the first NBA player ever who will sign $250M+ contract deal :o

Embiid showing his true self, only 3 FT's and his scoring is down, his -29 is very apparent WHY he'll never be an mvp.

Outstanding. And deserved.

Second round draft pick. I love it. And it's nice to see how important BBIQ is.

I had never this seen play from this angle before. This is off-the-charts BBIQ.

Check out the play beginning at 1:01: Jokic is in the post and sees that the ball is coming to him from Morris and moves to his right.

While the pass from Morris is in the air, Jokic takes a quick glance to the area right underneath the basket and sees Gordon's man come off him. He volleyballs the pass to Gordon for the jam.

Just mind-blowing. How do you scout BBIQ like this?

He will play for the Serbian national team this summer, it was confirmed today.

OK, we all know this is coming this summer, but still, it is worth to be noted!

This the easiest decision a basketball team ever had to make.

BIG ol' contract.

I guess this means the Nuggets think Jokic may have a FUTURE in this league!

GOOD NEWS: Jokic has 19 free throw attempts in a game, refs finally respect him!
BAD NEWS: It is a friendly FIBA game, not NBA.

Slovenia beat Serbia at home after overtime (Jokic 26-12-6, Cancar 7-6, Doncic 34-6-9), in a friendly game as part of preparations for the upcoming EuroBasket (1.-18. SEP). Jokic is still not in the competitive mode for his standards, including shooting (12-19 FT), and Cancar was good today but nothing special.

Serbia has a tight win vs Italy 90-86 at the warm-up tournament in Germany, with Jokic's 18-10-5 numbers. Nikola didn't start the game, and maybe is not projected to play today at all, because Italy is playing this summer without Danilo Gallinari and Paolo Banchero (2022 #1 pick) and used to be an easy opponent. But they take the lead in 1st half and even lead +15 in the 3rd quarter, so Jokic played at the end for almost 25 minutes. Tomorrow Serbia will face Germany in the final.

40-27-10, have I got that right? Best combination of points and rebounds since Wilt Chamberlain. Jokic is throwing up MVP numbers again.

Jokic.

Esp with Steph out for 4 weeks (shoulder), AD out for at least a month (foot), Giannis playing very poorly by his standards for several weeks, Embiid only semi-healthy (as always), and Luka day to day, it's gotta be...

Jokic, once again. At least, at this point. He's leading in BPM, PER, WS/48, WS. If he hadn't missed 3 games with COVID, he'd be leading in everything box score based.

Right there in RAPM and EPM, also.

Every year, I think he can't get better offensively, and every year, he proves me wrong, somehow.

He's the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. And I've been watching the game since about 1985.
