Screw the voters for letting Embiid fraud steal an MVP from this incredible player. Absolute joke

Charles Barkley said the series was over after Denver being down 0-2, and even said they were getting swept.

That has to be the most poorly aged prediction of all time LOL

When has Gobert been destroyed?


When hasnt he is a better question

Deandre put up 15/14 on .632ts against him

Capela was regularly bodying him

His last name might as well be Jokic at this point

Hes like the Demar Derozan of bigs not in playstyle obviously but how badly they dropoff from Rs to Ps

FFS Nikola started skipping down court and I thought he'd blown his achilles. Bastard.

This Nuggets team (outside of Jokic) is such a front-running bunch. Jokic is just so good that they are often in that position.

40/7/13 with 0 turnovers on 71% is insane.

Not even Charles's worst prediction.

Jokic , he wanted to spend more time with his baby horses this may/june

Then you’ll criticized the **** out of him , then he got this dreaded MVP award

You left him no other choice than to win the whole thing again

Systematically dismantling the greatest Timberwolves team in my lifetime.

Masterclass. Nikola Jokic
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.

Where’s Joel Embiid?

Not to overreact but I don’t see how the Mavs/OKC or Boston beat these guys. No answer for the MVP

The Joker's shooting form is too unorthodox for me to tell if that **** is going in
