    Jokic shouldnā€™t have won last year

    People forgetting that jokic played in the playoffs last two years with campazzo Austin rivers and will Barton starting and they beat the best backcourt in the first round in the blazers with lillard and CJ

    Jokic really donā€™t deserve to be a 3 time MVP if he wins this year ā€¦ they ainā€™t have the same energy for Russ .. I guess that sounds about white

    Look at Stephen A*shole Smith being his usual racist self… He jumps to the defense of CP3 and Barkley when explaining why they’re ringless but won’t give Jokic a break even though Jokic has very legitimate reasons for his relative lack of postseason success. The difference between those two and Jokic? They’re black

    JJ Redick blink counter: 743

    asinine. nba fixing for white players for sure. all that load management created for black super star players. zion was ballin before injury. before the trade kd trade and after irving trade kd could have been the mvp with the nets. of course he got traded to loaded suns. you do the math. the joke is a fackin superbum.

    I think the nuggets will end up like the suns last year

    JJ gotta slow down on the blinking šŸ¤£

    DEN is a well rounded team. Jokic is a 2x MVP probably 3x. He has Murray whoā€™s avg 20ppg, AG avg 18ppg and MPG avg 17ppg. Dirk won a chip older with less help beating OKC, POR, LAL, and MIA big 3.

  14. BlizzySocold

    February 22, 2023 at 12:03 pm

    Stephen A mentioned the suns knocked him out without jamal murray

    Embid is better

  16. Evan Duffy

    February 22, 2023 at 1:00 pm

    The playoff performances have been there? Excuse me? Jokic has a +- of NEGATIVE 31 in his playoff career. Joel embiid had a +- of POSITIVE 286 in his career. JJ what are you talking about? I generally agree with his takes but?????

  17. Selfish Stockton

    February 22, 2023 at 1:06 pm

    Denver has no bench depth and that will hurt their playoff chances

  18. Sai Waqa

    get rid of the play in altogether

    Nobody cares about his podcast or book. He is so full of himself, and Iā€™ve met him multiple times, just not a very nice human.

    My problem with SAS’s analysis is it’s not like Jokic isn’t doing his job. His playoff numbers are great. So you can’t fault him for not closing the deal. Look at his playoff numbers for yourself. They’re great. I don’t know what else you want him to do. Imagine Jordan without Phil, Pippin, and Rodman. Don’t think for a second he’d have 6 rings.

  22. SamPrestiFanClub

    February 22, 2023 at 7:24 pm

    It’s NOT problematic. Teams win championships. Individual greatness is not what defines it. CP3, Barkley, Stockton, Malone and a million others. JJ is right, it’s not on him the way SAS describes it

  23. Audrey Agyemang

    February 22, 2023 at 7:28 pm

    Embiid shouldā€™ve won last year. Then we wouldnā€™t be having this conversation if Jokić deserves to be a back to back to back MVP. Cause I think Jokić should win MVP this year.

  24. Millz SZN

    Im convinced jokic will win every mvp until the end of time even after he retires this has been the narrative the last two times

    oh he has no Murray or Porter Jr..and look at where he has the nuggets

    now it’s

    Murray and Porter Jr are back look at how good the nuggets are playing

    like everybody else including giannis has no shot even though Giannis is a monster on the defensive end AND he dominates offensively
