I thought Zubac completely shut him down, according to ESPN.

Nikola Jokić doing his thing. No wonder he’s one of mvp finalists in this season.

Giannis is doing the same and I don’t see you NBA nor ESPN pushing him through our throats like you do with Jokic.

If any team would have succeeded to get Joker into their squad, they could become a team deserves to championship. Thoroughout all NBA history, I have seen two guys; Goat (Black cat, against Pistons), LBJ (2nd time in Cleveland against GSW)…

I don’t like Nikola even though I’m from Serbia. Jokića is a top player, but unfortunately a very bad man who in Serbia supports Vučić, who is the president and dictator of Serbia. A man who has been terrorizing and destroying his own people and country for more than a decade. Those who support him are pensioners, illiterates, criminals and those who want or have some financial gain from the state. On the other hand, he sometimes plays for the national team, while for example Janis or Dončić play constantly for their country.

Sga can have multiple bad games and win, if this man has a subpar game or bad game they lose.. jokic is a monster and almost a top 10 player all time already. He is top 11 in my opinion.

OKC for sure has a better defense than anyone in a while, and SGA is a really good player, but Jokic basically averaged a 30 point triple double with no help from his own team most nights and that is historic….
