Dunno what's gonna happen, but I'm all in for it. He's a joy to watch.

I expect to be by far the best player in the World next season and for him to win his 3rd MVP.

I'll be so happy if the Nuggies repeat!
You said to me “I will give you scissor seven fine quality animation".
You left then but you put flat mediums which were not good before my scissor seven".
What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?

One of the craziest passes of all time. Only Jokic can do that
they just showed it from a different angle, it's absolutely insane

Imagine people like Jokic or Luka as QBs lol. Jokic would legitimately be pancaking linemen lol
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

Of all the fantastic aspects of that pass, the most fascinating thing was that he didn't even look at Gordon's direction before he launched that pass.

He really toyed with Chet (who himself had a solid outing on offense) last night. Jokic truly is something else, a true ‘welcome to the NBA’ moment for all young big men.

You get the sense that Jokic could score whenever he wants to but he’s always playing with the long game in mind.

I enjoy the Beethoven comparison.
“Big Beethoven” comes to mind as an appropriate nickname.
It’s funny to me that not that long ago people thought it crazy to compare his passing with that of perimeter players

Great story. Thanks Doc for sharing. He was an absolute basketball prodigy hiding in plain sight from day one. He just never fit the mold of what people thought would make a great player. And yes, I do think he's the greatest passer we've ever seen.
My favorite quote which perfectly describes Jokic's natural-born coordination:
Vicentic asked Jokic to engage in a two-ball dribbling drill, and Jokic took to it naturally, as if he'd done it all his life.
"You practice this?" Vicentic asked.
"Never," Jokic replied.

I watched Magic and him and Nash were probably two of the best at getting the ball to where they wanted to get to. I didn’t see Magic see the future like Jokic does.
