    Rudy gets a lot of undeserved hate. Just because you get cooked by Jokic it doesn't make you a bum, he literally does it to everyone. Jokic could've probably got at least 60pts on most players if he goes at them the way he went at Gobert.

    Shaq and Gil Arenas are literally hiding in cave right now

    Real talk Rudy would shut down any other center. Jokic just too damn good
  • @BladderTight09
    Man JOKIC looks like THANOS with all of the Infinity Stones! HE'S INNIVITABLE!
  • @bssL25
    Jokic hit some tough buckets over Rudy. You just gotta tip your cap. He was doing that to AD not too long ago and some people say AD should have been DPOY.
  • @PeterTeehan
    People are already comparing him to NBA legends by measuring his stats up against the NBA all-time greats. What people do not realize is that those stats and those players are just placeholders that Jokic is knocking down one by one. This is a whole new era of NBA what we are witnessing is something that we have never seen. I watched Magic vs Bird - I've watched Magic Vs Jordan - I watched the Kobe era and the LeBron. What this is nothing I have ever seen with my 2 eyes. This is a moment in time, this is history in the making. We as fans should stop comparing and just watch the game the way it was always meant to be played.

    I like Jokic a lot,im also Serbian.But i think the media disrespects a little bit his teammates with often asking about Jokic.They're all good ,Jammar,Aaron Gordon,Michael Porter and so on

    I know that somehow, someway, Rudy is gonna get most of the blame if the Timberwolves lose this series. All because Jokić is just that damn good. It annoyed me when Reggie Miller chastised Rudy for not defending Jokić. Had he not been watching the game? It just didn't matter.

    Jokic is the new president of the big man alliance.

    No disrespect to anyone but Jokic might be the best basketball player I’ve ever seen

    WOLVES AND NUGGETS IS GREAT MATCH PLAYOFFS IN NBA HISTORY
  • Nuggets fan and Colorado native here. Gobert played well Joker is on another level. The amount of Joy we experience watching the Nuggets right now I just want to bottle it up and keep it tight.

    Joker on his way to becoming the new goat of this game. Wouldn't be surprised if he finished with more than 5 Mvps and around 5 championships and nba finals Mvp. Even with all that, the thing that strikes me the most is the ability to make others better. Jamal, Gordon, MPJ, KCP and so on own a lot of the career success to Joker. I mean, there's an advanced stat that says that the team without him is on the level of the Washington Wizards. With him on the court it suddenly seems that all the guys become all star. For me that's the best quality of a player, even considering the fact that this guy averages a triple double in his career and elevates even more his game comes playoff time to average 30/14/12. He done this for the past half decade and the man didn't even reach his 30's yet. If he's able to carry on like this for another 5 to 8 years, he will become the new goat of this game.
