Ant: Jokic's the best player in the NBA

[Gusto1903]

If he did whatever he wanted to AD, and now KAT and DPOY Gobert..I don’t see what any of the remaining teams are possibly going to do.

Boston has toothpick Porzingis to throw at him..it’s over boys.

But we have known this for quite some time. Jokic has never been really stopped or never really struggled in any game, i have seen. Like the dude doesnt have bad games. The games they lose, are the games, where the nuggets as a team struggle shooting. But Jokic performance is even in the losses at a top notch level. Cant think of a game, where you could comfortably say "jokic sucked that game" with the eyetest. I dont want no statistical bs.

I agree 100%.

Just making it crystal clear for everybody else. The guy is basically the most humble superstar of all time as well. It’s awesome.

Giving me DeRozan complimenting Lebron type of vibe. Even if it's true you don't say that during the series.

Ant has world-class social intelligence. Only faux pas I've seen him make was when he said queer on Instagram.

ehhhhhh that's not the only one.

Dude didnt even know who A-Rod was before.

funny thing I didn't know it either, I did some research after the TWolves purchase was announced

After Game 5.

Well done, young fella.

Read on Twitter

But the Joker most loyal followers has claimed that the Joker is not HIM!

I trust Ant opinion more than those Joker fans Lol

Ant basically said that Jokic was best even after G1, G2 during post-game press conference

To be fair, though, he was trying not to wake up the bear. Same thing with Murray keeping quiet after G4 when Edwards was chirping at him. These teams know what's at stake and you don't want to give the other team bulletin material.

He was the best in 2023 and this year arguably.
Imo 2022 arguably over curry, but I can go both ways.
2021 maybe but might have to give it to Giannis.
Pretty good stretch at least top 2 player the past 4 years.

[MagicMatic]

He has been for 4 seasons.

Anyone saying otherwise is following a Kendrick Perkins narrative.

[Ambrose]

Most people know this.

[Woodsanity]

Yeah time for me to go to bed. The suckfest has begun. Nothing like a real GM Jokic takeover.

I'm out peace!

Didn't know Ant was a realgmer.

Where were you when everyone was hating on Jokic just last week?

For the youngsters --

Game 5 Jokic IMO was like the best version of Bird if you never saw him play in real time.

Not quite the same play style but dominance in scoring, passing and rebounding (although Jokic was modest in that category tonight) with some ballhandling mixed in.

Jokic was totally unstoppable tonight and there was just an ease and inevitability to it all.

That's how it felt watching the best version of Bird, particularly as an opponent (against your team). Dread.

He really reminded me of Bird tonight by completely taking over the game and doing whatever he wanted, and doing it in a variety of ways (scoring, passing, etc).

Jokic is better than Bird ever was. Bird is a comparible passer, but the control Jokic has over the game is too much

Jokic is quite a bit taller with more wingspan, enabling him to do things Bird could not. I’m a GIANT Bird fan, btw.

They do have a very similar looking shot, passing ability, rebounding ability, and killer instinct.

Jokic = Big Bird

mans said realgm suckfest like it wasnt Antman that made the comment lol

You were expecting balanced responses from that crowd?

[OfficialRef]

Weak comment by Ant saying this in the middle of a series. So much for being MJ's son, I don't know any great player that says something like this midseries.

[Doranku]

Jokic has put up 33/9/10/3stls/2blks on 61% shooting since the Nuggets went down 0-2 to make this a 3-2 series. What else is there to say?

Far above Bird in terms of being unstoppable and doing whatever he wanted offensively. Even the best versions of Bird could be completely shut down. Look at his series vs Detroit in 88. That was the highest scoring version of him. 17ppg & 35% Fg for the series.

Bird could be neutralized to some degree because he wasn't as great as some other all time greats as a 1 on 1 scorer. You couldn't always just give him the ball and kill guys off the dribble.......he needed to be freed up by screens a lot more than some all time greats for his offense.

Yet Jokers closest followers and fans recently said that Jokic is not HIM!!!
