If Shaq gives you praise you know you accomplished something.
Yep, Paul Pierce
him and giannis the only ones
@@fu5641 he praised kawhi and curry too
Fr Fr...I came here for this comment 😅
@@fu5641 Steph is his favorite player
Shaq and Jokic’s brothers rolling together just spells trouble 😂😂
He's just trying to get invited to the bbq.
@@alekseydrotenko3289 and the way he playing, he's BEEN invited.
Talk about a menace to society 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@counselthyself Jamaican and Serbian bbq is a deadly combo
Dude not only got mad talent he also got mad class!! The jocker is the most unselfish player i even know.
The most unselfish superstar since Tim Duncan!
@@Euclides287. Maestro Jokic is masterfully conducting the Denver orchestra ...
The Jocker
You know him?
SANTA!!!!!!!!
You can tell he is excited to talk to Shaq and Barkley. Much more energy than most post game interviews
Opening up more
This is awesome!
@@BEAzy90s THEY'RE JUST AS EXCITED TO TALK TO HIM TOO LOL
Yeah, and he's more relaxed. You can tell because he doesn't stutter or repeat words as much.
@@Phil-S8 you guys are obsessed with him LOL analyzing his post game energy and how he speaks in interviews
@@MrGenexxx this all we have of him being him. Dude got no social media so this is all we get from seeing Joker being Joker
The look on Shaq and Joker's faces on that last interaction. That is a lot of respect and admiration between them and it's amazing.
Agreed..that was touching
Big man alliance!
And yet so many Nuggets fans are crying here, "ShAq NeVeR wAtChEd JoKeR pLaY LiVe???" I swear, hardcore fans are just as terrible for all teams. Let the players and former players appreciate each other, ffs
When it mattered Shaq wasn't supportive of Jokic. Fake friednship
@@nikolayjerev9285 Better late than never I guess
This guy is gonna be a hall of famer. He makes everyone on his team better. No drama no ego no bullshit. Its just about getting better period. He gives me very strong Tim Duncan vibes.
He already is a HOFer, back to back MVP. The next conversation is top 10 all time.
@@hapibertday if he wins 3 rings, he is top 10.
@@unspeakablyawesomebros3392 two rings and another MVP can get him there
Already is, first ballot after this series
@@globaljourneys225 Your mind is boring lol
Shaq is always critical of big mans. Being praised and saying all the things he said to Jokic, he's an all-time great now.
True, he has crazy standards for big men but he gushes about Jokic. That's a big deal
Because so many of them don't have a post game.
@@TomCruz54321 Jokic definitely isn't one of those. He's showing how the post-up can still be an extremely efficient possession in a league where it had all but died out.
@@juandirection8820 Same with Barkley who calls out soft nba manufactured stars. When Chuck called Jokic Big Fella at the end even though he is twice his age, that was a huge compliment. A lot of people don't understand how much appreciation goes into being called Big Guy by the elder generation overall but in this case by NBA legends. Often times they compliment the guys they interview by calling them a bright young man or something like that. When Church and Shaq call you big fella they consider you an NBA legend as well at this point.
even without shaq's praise, how wouldn't he be an all-time great with back-to-back MVP's?
The respect from Shaq to Joker is real. Passing the big man torch to Jokic.
what do you mean? shaq already passed the torch to dwight, he even passed the superman monicker 🤣
@@eeJOKERee Dwight? He ain't even in the NBA no more😂
@@kickazz2730 mans said Dwight in a conversation about Jokic 😂
@@zaescorin somehow the joke went over your heads 😅
Cough Giannis cough
And Kendrick Perkins says the Joker stat pads 😂😂😂. That was one of the effortless triple double from Jokic. As soon as Miami tried to shorted the deficit, Jokic comes in and gets you the easiest and most reliable shots which is key against a zone defense
He does ool
Fr😂 someone should ask him that. Did jokic Stat pad😂😂😂
At least Kendrick Perkins tells what's in his mind. How about some analysts who do nothing but bring some players down?
@@DNMproudctions9708ur dumb watch the games lmao he dont even box out barely for rebounds
@@Because_Truth_Matters if whats on your mind is a complete nonsensical crap, please just keep it to yourself.
Man, everytime Jokic gets to talk to Shaq and Chuck it's a totally different energy to any other interviewer. Jokic is a closed off guy, his circle is only really his family and his team mates. He carefully picks who is worth is time and energy, not just for his professional life but his personal one too and you can tell Shaq and Chuck and everyone on the Inside The NBA crew really, has made the list.
Shaq wanting to meet his brothers is funny too. You know he is trying to get invited to that Serbian cookout like family. Everyone knows if you get invited to the bbq you get the pass.
When Shaq AND Barkley both have that much admiration for someone, you know that he is something special!
They never talk this way about anyone else except MJ and Bird. Those two guys were considered inevitable.
That's true, and for an ACTIVE player its wild.
@@alekseydrotenko3289 Giannis is one current player they praise as well
@@cheguevara8410 you can see they like Giannis but I am getting love vibes from them when it comes to Jokic. They are not just approving of his game, they literally are fans. They get giddy and try to win his approval like fans would. Remember Shaq trying to speak to Jokic in what he thought was Serbian but turned out to be russian instead? And now asking to meet his brothers and hang out with them? Giannis' brothers were actually in the NBA and no one asked to meet them lol
@@alekseydrotenko3289Chuck has always been on the Jokic bandwagon, nobody just gave a fuck
This man has become my new favorite player after this season. So calm and collected through and through.
there are only a small number of players like Jokic in the world. It is a joy to watch. By the eye test I knew if they got the right team around him and figured out their defense, the nuggets would go to the finals. The Nuggets were actually my pick at the beginning of the year.
@@MohamedAli-dz1yo kcp and brown the game changers. Great role players
@@stefankrunevski4673 AG is the big change
Yep I'm one of those guys. I first noticed his power and the damage he could do when he taught Morris a lesson.
But this season especially, Jokic really brought back the 'big men' vibes into NBA. Love it!
I'm watching this with tears in my eyes, can't believe my boy Jokic is getting praised now.
He always gets praise the problem is that people can't watch him play cuz Denver isn't a mainstream city
That’s awesome dog thank you for supporting him it means a lot to me as well
@@globaljourneys225 not by the bias media. You take a break
That praise was big sincere, no pun intended.
What do you mean? He won back to back MVPs lol
Shaq and Jokic in a buddy cop movie comedy gold.
Boban can play the villain
@@gnomechomsky2524 That's just John Wick.
Ocean's Eleven but it's Russell, Chuck, Shaq, Nikola, Boban, Ming, Kareem, Dirk, Duncan, Sabonis sr and Garnett.
Probably switch one for Javale Mcgee.
red heat remake
Please let this comment go viral😂
Man huge respect when Shaq wants to see Nikola’s family too that’s what’s up
He wants to get invited to the cook out and get that pass.
Went to Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸 last year and stayed for 5days. Went to a barbershop and I mentioned I loved basketball and was a big fan of Jokic those guys were so proud of him and the things he’s doing in the NBA. It’s just remarkable the improvement in his body and game in last 9years. He’s already a legend in their eyes. And Serbia has a rich basketball history. I was trying to get his national team Jersey but didn’t find it in time. This guys will win multiple championships 🏆 and a few more MVPs before he’s done.
Sorry you missed out on the jersey, you might want to order online, pretty sure there is an international shipping as well.
Facts more championships indeed
Kids, this guy is an epitome of what you should become when you get older, basketball and real life world vise, look after him and you will become a good man, good person, humble, passionate, successful and praised, loved by almost everyone, Nikola is perfect example of that. We need a lot more people like him in todays world.
Underrated comment. 👏 Well said.
He is really a team player. He didn't even forget his team and his teamates in interview. It's always been team effort for the nuggets. I got them to win the chip. 🏆
You can tell Shaq really likes Jokic
I love seeing Shaq being excited seeing a Big Man do his thang - 9th Triple Double - of the Playoffs - wow.
I wanna just say that this MAN is the biggest ambassador of Serbia together with Djokovic! That's impressive to see that all the World is being praised him and admired to his abilities, skills and basketball magic. To talk about his human features, humbleness, family and friendly values is superfluous! I AM REALLY PROUD THAT I AM SERBIAN!!! ХВАЛА ТИ НИКОЛА!!! 🙏💪🏀🏆
....and Maria sharapova
@@janbatista8635 ?????? She is russian bro
@@janbatista8635 She is Russian. Balkans =/= Russia
you guys should be proud. hardworking, skilled, brave, clutch, and efficient.
Djokovic is a joke, full clown and putlers puppet
Shaq so proud of Jokic. It's such respect from such a legend
Jokic dissected the Heat defense like no other player did during these playoffs. Just incredible read to the opponents defense.
Being as tall as he is, it doesn't matter where the double comes from, he WILL find that open man.
@@zeppelindemon"Serbian Eye"
@Goodb0b he’s called the Joker cause his passes are like slight of hand. Seemingly coming out of nowhere.
Joker gives these guys the best interviews because he respects them. They have always treated him fairly, like when he had the incident with the Morris cheap shot, Chuck and Shaq both supported Jokic while other outlets were criticising him. It will be interesting to see their coverage next season as some Nuggets games might actually make it to national tv.
Nikola isn't playing for himself. He understands the game involves 5 guys working as a team, no ego.
Slavs roll in, I’m Croatian and rooting hard for Jokic and the nugs. Great finals matchup all around but hoping Denver pulls it off!
What do Albanias think of him?
@@hendogg3675 ask them iunno
@@hendogg3675 Albanians doesen't know what the sport is lol.
Jokic is humble and he's doesn't care about his personal stats. I feel positive about the Denver nuggets being NBA champions soon.
Serbian/Croatian Slavs are mixed with Dinaric Alp people that's why their so tall lol!
How can you not love this guy?
Extremely humble, kind of funny really chill
Makes most of the others in the NBA look like prima donnas
A lot of them are prima donnas
@@mattw4461 can you explain to a non american what is like to be prima donna ?
@@TheAlex4019 arrogant, entitled. Think they walk on water. Their celebrity status goes to their head, and they think they’re better than the “little people”.
@@RS-ol8or ok thanks for my new vocabulary m8 😂
The amount of respect that Shaq has for Jokic is amazing.
Only Chuck can make Joker laugh. I liked that Chuck asked him non-basketball questions.
Serbians have every right to be proud of Jokic. All the best from New Zealand.
And we are. Thanks man.
Jokic is a great player and really humble guy and never forget his teammates. He is a team player and doesn't chase the stats. He just focuses to win the game, it's really really great. I really hope Nuggets to win the championship.
Jokic is a legend and this Nuggets team is special.
Tears in my eyes, Have to love Shaq & Chuck , And of course Jokic is amazing talking about team chemistry, I believe we are facing a sweep
Dont count the heat out they have fought every team that they faced and this one is no exception
@@Yarmox Nah, this Denver team IS the exception. Celtics were a hot mess from the start of round 1, Knicks haven't seen the playoffs in 12 years, & Bucks had a hurt Giannis. Don't get me wrong, all credit goes to Heat for taking care of business but... reality is coming.
Don't jinx it man.
@@banparlous2552 Heat in 5
@@shinoa8648 5? 🤔 like ... 5 years? sure
Jokic has passing skills are like Bird and Magic. This is a beginning of the best team in the NBA for many seasons. Only thing stopping Jokic is injury. Like Hakeem showed the world he was on another level in his two championships, we are witnessing one of the greatest centre performances in NBA history.
Can't stop Nikola!! 3 more to go for the Nuggets!!
I grew up in LA and these Nuggets remind me of the Showtime Lakers. So fun to watch
Wow. Can't believe how Shaq handled that. He starts and finishes it like a gentleman. Love you shaq
Dude deserves this moment. Bro is really humble, really smart, and really talented. Never woulda thought
I'm glad Shaq got to see Jokic in person. It really does change your perspective of how he's moving, directing his teammates, and basically playing a game of chess reading the opponents defense. Last night was a masterclass. Barely attacked and still close to 30pts on a triple double.
It’s still mind boggling how Joker is so effortless, and those stats just come to him. It must be simply letting the game come to you & not forcing shots, etc. Pass when you see the open man. Shoot when you have the advantage. Like Chuck said this night, too many players today just jack up 3s & that’s their game.
Man he’s just as good off the court. What a great unselfish personality this legend has. A goat in the making!
Damn you know you balling when Shaq tip his hat 💪🏽
How the hell can people hate on this guy? seriously, there is something wrong with the NBA media, this is the 2nd coming of larry bird! embrace it everyone!
I think Nikola is in a class of his own man.
He's a great player, just not very marketable, which is a shame.
@@homiefizzle5260 He Doesn't Want Any Of That , Listen To His Interviews .
Perkins and all his burner accounts.
@@homiefizzle5260 YOU MEAN BC HE IS WHITE
Shaq saying Spasibo to Jokic got me in tears 😂
Its just so amazing too see becuase this is just a moment in the NBA that is just so purely deserved for a single player. Jokic is literally a model of humbleness, focus, and hard work. Hes worked his way to this point and everyone understands that now. Huge fan of him.
Finally some recognition for how great BoBo was for the Suns/Spurs. One of the best passing "bigs" to every play. Game recognizes game.
Yes. Jokic said "not the bad players". Did i really heard what he replied after ? Did he joked by saying " i see some Boris diaw.." he impied that Boris was a bad player... wtf he was key in 2014 nba finals...!
@@CDJM405 he didn't imply that boris was a bad player. Quite the opposite.
Humbleness = Greatness
I love both teams but as an Eastern European, no other choice but to root for Denver.
Hope we get to see a great show.
Spasi Bog 0:04 God save you
@@lukStSerb its Russian ...spasibo its a joke of Shaq
@@kinidiosodlosios6892 Spasi Bog may also mean “Save God”? Guess it could also be translated as “Be blessed”.
@@Blood4Mercy717 I know what it means I speak Serbian Im just saying Shaq was saying thank you in Russian like he did before
Him and Jimmy both very unselfish leaders
Perk furious lmao
Just bet on the opposite of absolutely ANYTHING he says 😂😂😂
Guarantee you he takes Heat in game 2
Shaq- "Tell your brothers I wanna say hi".....
Jokic: "Oh...they already left."
love the chemistry between shaq and joker. Hope joker's big bros got that meeting!
“I take what the game gives me”. Jokic dropping heat
I love people who are humble like this fine man...Jokic. Hoping to see him play more.
I'm so bloody impressed by how many perfect choices for passing he made all throughout game 1. Jokic put on a clinic!
And the fadeaway shot in the 4th quarter by Jokic was icing on the cake. The guy really announced himself in the NBA finals.
Butler and Co really have to rethink their strategy with such a size and power mismatch between the two teams
Shaq is that guy
He is really humble about his game 💯
All i could do was involuntarily smile while watching this interview.
He explained his game perfectly : i take what the game gives me
Man!! Been waiting for this❤️ Jokic receiving all the praise he deserves🫶
"To be honest i felt a little excitement about being in my first NBA Finals." You actually cant get more savage.
The nba will never see another player like Jokic, I love watching him play
The Jokinator he is so present and focused. Totally unbelievable. I tip my hat to this man and to the whole team. Cuz the one thing that Scottie pippen did get right is it does take a team to win. But in this case there's definitely a centerpiece. So props to you. Great job! I can't take anything away from the heat. Everything that they have done in accomplish this year is simply amazing and this is the first time in the NBA finals that I am choked on who I want to win. There's a great reason I want both of these teams to win and it tugs at my heart strings. I just hope for a long series and a nice professional bout of true NBA basketball. May the best team win!
Shaq’s first time see Jokic play live?? Everyone sleeping on the Joker and Nuggets
Nope heat in 4
Well TNT films in Atlanta and they do the ECF how would Shaq find the time to see Jokic live? People take the “sleeping on the nuggets” storyline too far
I mean he’s got better places to be when he ain’t working.
You really think Shaq, who has a job working for TNT in Atlanta, would have the time to actually go to Denver to watch them play during the season? What a stupid take.
@@DNMproudctions9708 lol i love people twisting the knife
He plays correct. Takes the opportunity of higher percentage overall plays. Whether that be a pass or a bucket. Always chooses the better play. Helps that he's 7 ft tall and he can see the entire court.
Love the respect from Shaq and Charles!
Shaq found the big man he has been looking for since he retired. GO NUGGETS
Best player in NBA hands down…. And Gianni’s is my favorite player ever.
@@globaljourneys225 dumb dumb comment. Yea basically he does. Hes a walking triple double.....
Slow, can't jump yet he's exciting as heck to watch. Wizardry.
@@globaljourneys225 the hell you talking about p.. he’s best player in the league today…. Number. 1 ranked ahead of anyone… if I had a player to win me. Title today I’m picking joker first… don’t know how that could confuse a young man… but hopefully that cleared it up for you.
👍
I thought Shaq & Chuck were on vacation lmao
There cheaters and they never won a ring
They are Chuck is probably have a great time at the fantastic Denver golf courses
Pretty sure Chuck is there for the golf courses, he's been talking about it since the ECF lol
They wanna see this shit live! Love it.
Nba tv realized there was money to be made with inside off the air
Shaq just wanna party with the jokic brothers lol!
Joker the most humble dominant player in the league. And he got that mamba mentality saying “I’m not relaxed”. Most players would be celebrating after a game 1 win. He knows job isn’t finished. I hope he gets a ring man.
big guy, humble, down to earth, mad skill... tim duncan + stockton mixed skills... been number 1 in crazy tight competition in west since oktober/november.... Denver truly deserve the ring this year
Hes funny. One of the best trolls and dry humor in NBA lol. Great player.
That's why I like this guy. He's so : humble, for real and down to earth.
Nikola is a good man . Yes Sir!
Good basketbollman
😂😂😂
What he said about something felt different with the team after 8 years, that's the feeling where you know your team is going to win a championship.
Stepping up to put digits on the scoreboard for your team is always expected of any lead player. But putting everyone else in the team and get them involved is way way better. Like a well oiled machine this guy gets all the gears moving towards the expected outcome. No surprises there! Basketball is a team sport after all. Well done Joker.
I like this guy, he is so chill and wholesome
is the nuggets win the chip, jokic might end up revolutionazing the league in a similar way curry did. i wouldn't be surprised if in five years skilled bigs are sought out to be ball handlers and game organizers. regardless, joker's truly special, if i wasn't a heat fan i'd be rooting for the nugs
Humble heart!!! He is a beast!!! We are blessed to witness such a talent!!!💪🏾
Jokic has gotten more serious with the media since the nuggets rise, but it's nice to see Shaq and Chuck can always bring the humor out of him
It's actually crazy that Shaq is only now seeing him play live for the first time.
I was worried Nuggets would come out rusty after a long break. But nope, that sure wasn't the case! The only thing that happened over thier long break is Jokic's nose got a little sunburned from hanging out in the pool.
@Rene Luis ok dominated for most of the game. Gave up a bit of the lead in the 4rth quarter but it's looking good for the nuggets buddy
They did come out rusty. They shot 29% from 3 and still won by 11. Miami is in trouble if they dont do anything to change.
yeah they're kinda rusty imo
@@UNOFahmiAR they were but goes to show that even woth rust they are the superior team
Such a humble man
I'm not a Denver fan but it's great to see Jokic getting the praise he deserves. Getting an NBA title and an NBA finals MVP this year will help solidify his legacy - it's his time.
I honestly never seen Shaq look at another big in admiration like that.
Nikola Jokic his a Magnificent Player, the guy can do anything I respect him very much, let's go Denver Nuggets.
Im one of the biggest truest Laker fans and I'm about to order a Jokic jersey. Best player in the league
I already ordered it here from Rome 😅
10 millions SERBS ARE FOR NUGGETS....LETS GOOOO
Shaq and Jokic have such good chemistry I love it
Man joker is such a breathe of fresh air!! Love his style
Class act, humble, respects his team and the heat.
Shaq: 'What is this thing you did? You had the ball, but you didn't shoot it yourself.'
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love hearing him! Too humble!
When Nikola Jokic polishes his English speaking skill. It is over.🤣🤣
True 😂
Great interview. That was awesome.
Should the Nugs get Game 2, then it's a wrap.
No question.
This team is just too darn complete and consistent and it's always 3-4 of them leveling up. Not just 1-2.
As for The Joker, he well reminds me of Mr. Fundamental.
Nothing flashy BUT always effective.
He's a Timmy with a Trey!
Unless Denver’s plane crashes, it is a sweep already.
@@CorePathway
😄
It’s great that NBA TV got Shaq and Barkley covering the Finals, would love to see Isiah Thomas join them 🔥🔥🔥
Nah the crew is perfect as it is right now
I've been saying for the past couple of years now - it's only a matter of time before the Joker begins his dynasty. A couple years ago it was Embiid vs Joker with a lot of folks leaning towards Joel. I laughed about that comparison for the longest time and am glad Jokic is finally setting the record straight. Dude is mentally tough, one of the most well-rounded & talented players we have, and humble to boot. The NBA got a great one!
Shaq is proud as and for big man
and I just LOVE how Chuck first crack on Jokic joke 3:57
Nikola Jokić transcends being a basketball player - he embodies basketball itself. He encapsulates the essence of the game as a whole, rather than being defined by individual statistical categories. He represents something unprecedented, as his style of play epitomizes the very core of basketball. He epitomizes the true spirit of basketball, where collective effort and collaboration are paramount. Mr.Mac
👏
Shaq gave him respect that Howard will never reach.
i like when he's always honest
