    @lazyass1812 4 년 전 +7

    Eh I agreed with pretty much everything until the "it's not on the coach, it's on me" part. While that does apply to like 99% of NBA stars, Jokić comes from a background that is like complete opposite to that. He's been taught from a young age that you do whatever the coach tells you to do and that coach is "the guy". He's so passive because he feels like he should shoot only when they actually run a play for him. And it's not something that can easily be changed, perhaps it might never change, because it's in his basketball core. Like the stupid fouls he makes to stop the fast-break that are common in Europe and that often get him in foul trouble. And you've heard Malone tell him many times not to take them, but it's like a reflex to him. Every player that came from Serbia to the NBA, one of the few things they mention when asked about the differences between the NBA and European bball is how everyone there keeps telling them to shoot, shoot, shoot. In Europe, you expect to get smacked in the head if you take a bad shot.
    TL;DR: Jokić is really struggling to adapt to the way basketball is played in the NBA when it comes to shooting. You could see that even in the last year where he was generally awesome.

    • @angahbg9089
      @angahbg9089 4 년 전

      Furthermore, Jokic is not even a star at Europe. He was used to be the supplier.
      The thing Jokic needs to realize is he is as capable as any player there is in the NBA.
      We see do it last playoff.
      He need to to be the MAN on that team cause he really has the talent to do it.

But Jokic still does mention "thats why coach is not giving me the ball."

    Jokic will be fine by January. I swear the problem is Malone. He probably told him to let his boyfriend Will Barton take control and let Murray be the starting focus of the team.
    Jokic looks like the team wants him to be this way so the rest can shine(They dont LOL. Murray deserve to go to jail after robbing 170MM)
    The Nuggets needs a new coach who can work as catalyst to this team offensive potential. The playoff defense is there, but Malone is an idiot who cant make a Offense work properly. He dont even draw plays on the timeout
    Jokic cant even post up because hes getting double team because the guys are not making they shots and when they cut to the basket they just bring another defender to Jokic. The NBA adapt to Jokic and thats totally fine, but Malone needs to start doing the job and stop blaming the players for his own ineptitude to create a decent offense

    Can we stop saying (insert guy here) can guard all 5 positions? If Anthony Davis is guarding kyrie on the perimeter he’s going to get cooked. Or if kawhi is guarding Anthony Davis on the elbow he’s also getting cooked.

    Even if Giannis is slightly more versatile than AD defensively, that doesn’t mean better. AD is better at guarding 2-5 than Giannis is. Giannis might be slightly better at guarding 1’s but AD is a much better rim protector and a complete different maker defensively. He’s the best defensive player in the world right now

    • @stevenellis99
      @stevenellis99 4 년 전

      Jason that’s completely idiotic. Draymond Green is MUCH more versatile than Hakeem ever was. Hakeem couldn’t guard 1-3. Is Draymond a better defender because he can guard more positions? No. Hakeem was SO GOOD at guarding his position, that’s why he’s great. Not because versatility. Giannis can guard point guards better than Anthony Davis can. Anthony Davis can guard 3-5 much better than Giannis can. Versatile doesn’t mean better. You’re confused

    • @stevenellis99
      @stevenellis99 4 년 전

      George Polychronopoulos Anthony Davis does all of that lol. He’s the best defensive player in basketball. Him and Gobert are the best rim protectors in the league and everyone else is way behind. Davis is quicker. Better playing the passing lanes. Better feet. And better on the perimeter. Giannis is amazing but he’s not AD defensively.

      Jason I don’t think you understand lol. Versatile is just having different abilities. LeBron is extremely versatile yes. But I mean again. That doesn’t automatically mean better 😂. LeBron is far more versatile than Jordan was too. And again. Hakeem, not versatile. At all. Duncan, not versatile. Even guys like Gary Payton, not versatile defensively. But lack of versatility doesn’t mean bad. Prime Shaq couldn’t guard anything but centers, but he was still a dominant force defensively. You’re not making any sense.

    Everyone is trying to label Jokic. Personally I don’t like his style but he showed us last year playoffs that he can ball. There is clearly problem with him and Malone! One of them won’t be there next year, just watch.
    Btw... I heard his manager in Serbia doesn’t trust Malone

    If you don't have a consensus top 5 guy on your team, then you're not a contender. So, why does everyone keep saying James Harden is a top 5 player? Because the Rockets have never been contenders. Always pretenders.
