how do I interpret STephen A…he doesn’t like white superstars(he didnt include Bird on his all time list, wow) .., he loves Lebron a lot, sort of being obsessed…if you are a sports journalist–you should be balanced and unbiased…ESPN should do something…

Malone is a fucking pussy. If there was no Joker, he`d be coaching in China at best. He should take some lessons from Kerr and Pop on how to stand up for your player!

How crucial is perhaps the greatest passing big ever in the nba, best player on his team, to his teams playoff chances? Lol really, this is a question? Nah, he’s not crucial, he can play like trash and they will b fine…seriously ESPN?

This is another example of Stephen A being an ass and not knowing shit about anything but to hate on Jokic and Nuggets. I understand he ran out of anything to talk about as Lakers and his love lebron are out of playoffs but please, watch a game, read a book get a clue. Do something. As far as Jokic goes, he needs to turn around and pop Portis. That punk is begging for it

Wow. They found a way to compare Cousins to Jokic. Cousins gets 1 ejection on every 5 snaps, while Jokic got ejected 3 times on 2 snaps. Jokic has to learn to better articulate his case to the refs.
Wait for free throws, time out or end of the game to plaid your case. It will pay in a long run. Yelling and swearing at them won’t get you calls in the future.

when Americans stare at the obvious and discuss it, so it would seem like they’re having deep conversation… then started using horses as a metaphor x)
Man, he’s alpha and omega of the Nuggets, they are nothing without him.

If Jokić was one of the black guys from the ghetto the story would be very different on how the refs and Nba itself treats him.

They hate him, all will beat him nasty in the Play-off, this is just a “prepare-Phase”…and referees will use even the smallest Word from him to kick him out- that’s the Plan the prepared for Nuggets in this Play-off. And the Coach is just a Pussy who will never try to protect him, he will take Side against him obviously. So, if I was him, I would just boycot them all and move to Europe to live normal Life with more than enough Money. None needs this Shit in the Life- if you don’t want me here- OK, I will go Home. Simply as that. This will become nothing but continuous hatred and humiliating on every Step, it’s just too much for decent Person. Again, he doesn’t need that shit -not at all.
