Gilbert Arenas texting Nuggets bench player (shocking)

Apparently Jokic told the team he’s done with the season and wants to go home. Honestly, I don’t blame him and think it’s time he either plots teaming up with another superstar (Doncic!) or asks the team to make significant moves (ie trade the bum Murray). He’s the only champ in recent years to win a title without any all star, all NBA, or All-D teammate! Meanwhile guys like Embiid have had peak Himmy Butler, superstar Harden, all star Simmons, all star Maxey, and an incredible cast of role players in Redick, Harris, etc.

If he wants to go to Dallas, the Nuggets owe him that and should honor the request by not gutting Dallas roster in the process.

Jokic's "I don't care about basketball" attitude got old awhile ago. I'm inclined to believe this isn't true, but I wouldn't doubt it at all. If the shoe fits...

Playing with the worst cast in the NBA will do that to you.

Murray/Jackson at halftime in G2: 1/15 with putrid defense
AG: starts 5/5, then goes 4/9 rest of way
KCP: 0 shots at half time

Jokic is the most dominant offensive force in NBA history but he can’t make up for essentially a supporting cast that would struggle to win 7 games without him in an 82 game season. And that’s the current Nuggets!

I wont click cause I assume I would give Gilbert Arenas a view, but that man will say any nonsense that would make Jokic and other Europeans look crap, disguise it as "spilling facts", and his xenophobic audience will eat it up.

Hold on, we are taking Gilbert Arenas podcast clips where he lists an anonymous source as real reporting now?

What happened to the game I love.

Don't believe this. Jokic just a week ago said winning is a lifestyle.

If Gilbert Arenas told me the sky was blue, I'd need to go outside and double check to believe it.

Y'all ripped Embiid and he has less than the Nuggets.

This team literally won a championship last season and people were calling them the next dynasty.

Now Jokic needs help lmao


Y'all are not fair with y'all criticism of certain players.

Not a serious source. But will people jump to attack Jokic anyway? Of course they will.

Is he texting Deandre Jordan? That's my guess.

A guy with his lack of top end athleticism doesn't become one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game without caring about basketball. His game is predicated on immense skill which takes a ton of reps to develop and perfect. This "Jokic doesn't even like basketball" schtick needs to be retired - and I don't understand why it's admired or said positively honestly. The game might not be everything to him like it is for KD for example, but there's a big gap between that and just not caring.

I'm not sure how reliable Gil is. Have a hard time believing Jokic actually said this during the middle of a series.

Come again? You have to be trolling with Embiid having "less" than Jokic. :lol: He's been surrounded by all-stars every single year of his career... the 76ers took games off the Celtics last year with Embiid out - could the Nuggets beat the Hornets without Jokic?

Embiid also goes out each year with a whimper - his playoff drops are historic! Jokic is averaging 28/15/10 through these playoffs... how much more is he expected to do?

If Denver's supporting cast of bums was playing even mediocre basketball, we're talking steamrolling the playoffs but alas you people will glaze Murray for hitting a game winning shot or two despite being the reason they needed the shot. :lol:

You can never trust a word that comes out of Gilbert’s mouth, but Jokic did look a mentally checked out in game 2 so there might be some validity to this.
