00:00I think my problem with the perception presently around this series
00:06Nikola Jokic is for many people the clear upfront unanimous not only best player in the world
00:18but so great he is deserving of five consecutive league MVPs and absolutely
00:26on a planet of his own in today's game so why is it that the Denver Nuggets getting absolutely
00:36rolled up in this opening round series is so acceptable to people why are you not willing to
00:45hold the the standard that we typically associate with all-time greats in their prime
00:55to Nikola Jokic again it is the opening round of the playoffs it's not round two or three it's not
01:05the finals because he's been there once it's not the conference finals because he's been there twice
01:10it's round one and I know it's like wow really Jokic hate off a triple double he's averaging a
01:17triple double I mean really I I just am trying to understand JY tell me I'm crazy I'd rather that
01:30I am trying to understand how is it that that Nikola Jokic is everything that people believe and I'm not
01:40saying I believe it that much less than them and it now feels as if they are drawing dead in round number
01:47one I'm gonna make a point that that may be kind of interesting to people
01:54how overrated do we now think that finals went over an eight seed Miami Heat may be into the equation now
02:03in regards to you get a championship you get put on a pedestal right you get put you got put on a
02:10pedestal right if you turn around you look at this Denver team they've come way back down the earth
02:18yeah I like them to go with seven games I that's probably out of all the predictions I have that's the
02:26one right now I feel the worst about and it's not even close because they've been arguably
02:33non-competitive and half the series game number game last game they lose by what 20 almost 30 points
02:43over 30 points I should say right game number one they're down 16 in the second half you start
02:50looking at the roster and what's going on and saying is it Nikola Jokic or is it everyone else
02:57you gotta you gotta put them all together folks you can't separate one without the other because
03:05the goal of the number one player in the planet the best player on your team it doesn't matter if
03:12you're a point a shooting guard small forward power forward center you must uplift the rest of your
03:19organization I don't see that in Denver how many times do I need to look at Michael Porter jr
03:28give you 20 25 points in a game and then come back and give you two of nine from the floor
03:35how many times I have to talk about the fact that after last season you lose a guy like kcp
03:42a a a a hard hat nails glue guy glue guy you lose a bruce brown over the last couple years you lose
03:50uh a jeff green over the last couple years not even guys guys that get in the mud that fight in
03:55playoffs and I gotta relay rely on christian brown now good player good kid but they don't have you
04:03look at their roster and you're like what what do they have going for them and I think
04:09nicola jokic has to do a better job of uplifting listen at the end of the day the end of the day
04:16he had a triple double but you can't be the best player team you're getting 14 shots you can't you
04:22can't that's either scheme or you're not wanting the ball enough and you're willing to dish off the
04:29other people nicola jokic today has to get you 35 points he's got if you're the best player in the
04:36world you put the team on your back you get going early you score a bunch and then you set everybody
04:42else up it's kind of like when kevin and i did the end game live a month ago and he took seven shots
04:49versus the lakers and people are like well you know mike malone's fault this is the other guy's fault
04:56no no no you're 7-1 you have a high shot and honestly you're getting outplayed at points in regards to
05:06what they need zubalac is about playing you in the series i know he doesn't have triple doubles
05:12but the gap was supposed to be large and this kid has not made it even he's made it close enough
05:20that when kawhi and and harden and powell and these other guys get going it's such a huge gap that they
05:28can't fill denver nicole jokic has to be the best player on the floor today and i'm not talking triple
05:34double i'm talking 35 plus points at least 20 shots he must dominate with the ball early he should
05:43be his points prop whatever it is if they're gonna have a chance he's got to go over he's got to get
05:48going right away
