Game Recognizes Game: Nikola Jokic

Some of the biggest stars in the NBA express their appreciation for Denver Nuggets two-time #KiaMVP Nikola Jokic.

Hitting a buzzer-beater step back three over AD and then just immediately back to business walking to the bench is so cold

[joeypintozzi]

With all the crazy stats he’s produced in his career, maybe the most remarkable one is that he won back to back mvps and only now people recognize him

[droraharon]

The absolute best part of this video, is how after he hits an insane buzzer beater, a shot that would make 99.99% of players go wild and celebrate all pumped up, he just walks away casually...

The Joker finally getting the respect he deserves

[AlexanderMitrakov]

Finally NBA is trying to promote Jokic

[rabgabro]

No matter how many times i have seen it, those shots over the King and AD are the thing of beauty by Jokić.

And he's not done yet. Dude is generational talent. Imagine all the kids and teens who are picking up and trying to model Nikola's talents on the driveway or practice court.

Nice to see the league finally catching up to the rest of the world. Keep it up!

[markost.]

Joker is once in a lifetime type player.
We are not gonna see something like this again so lets enjoy it while we can.

I really hope denver wins the championship, not only because I love Jokic and Murray and all those guys but I want other teams to start emulating what the nuggets are doing. It’s not about trying to have a super team, it’s about drafting well, developing your players, building around your talent with good draft picks, trades, and free agent signings.

I love how he has forced the media to recognize him. No 3rd staight mvp? Okay I'll go for the finals one instead. Generational.

The best passer in the game rn.
I hope he gets a ring he deserves..

[yogeshcyr]

He's as smooth as Bird and as dynamic as Oscar Robertson and as dominant as Wilt was, that's some deadly mixture for the opponents, no wonder he posts triple doubles regularly effortlessly, looks like he could do that every time he plays.

I could watch Joker highlights all day. Those passes where he puts English on the ball to help it bounce to the right spot are nuts

[ofw-ako]

A Center that can bring down the ball, setup plays, pass efficiently, shoot threes, run plays. WHAT A PLAYER!

[divefraggle]

One of the best passers I've ever seen. It's so beautiful to watch. Larry Bird was also a phenomenal passer.

[srdjanjanic]

Napokon i NBA igrači polako priznaju da Jokić predstavlja neku potpuno novu dimenziju košarke. Bravo dobri i skromni naš zemljače i hvala ti što nam uveseljavaš dane kada gledamo tebe, tvoju košarkašku veličinu i Denver Nuggets_e!!!

[juliothom]

As a Larry Bird fan, I applaud and salute Joker. He's a Larry Bird/Arvydas Sabonis hybrid, and that's very high praise. I'm glad he's FINALLY getting his props.

[terigiese]

What struck me about this unicorn!?First time I saw him play?I was like who is that sloppy looking ginormous man?!He just didn’t move or look like a typical pro athlete.But when the action begins?Holy shit!Mindblowing!He truly has a gift!Definitely a future🐐🌟🌟🥇🏆👏🏻

[BruceWayne-egun]

I also like how's he's actually showing some emotion out there too, he's not messing around these playoffs
