Nikola Jokic 23 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2018)

Nikola Jokic, supposedly, has older brothers that used to torment him all the time when they were kids. And I thank them for doing that, because their brotherly bullying has made Jokic the tough dude he is today. But I was thinking: has anyone tried to turn them into basketball players? It doesn’t matter how…

Nikola Jokic 32 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2018)

Nikola Jokic is a great passer, and I’m not implying that he should stop passing, but what we saw here tonight is evidence that his scoring has been being held back by the fact that he needs to get his teammates involved for the team to be successful as a whole. Tonight, someone else stepped…

Nikola Jokic 26 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)

This is the kind of game that helps build narratives. On a game-to-game basis, narratives aren’t important, but they sure as heck are when talking about a player’s legacy, or when discussing certain candidates for certain awards. The stage was set: top two teams by record in the league, led by two sorta-MVP-candidate-ish players, Nikola…

Nikola Jokic 24 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Near the end of this game, Russell Westbrook had some choice words for Nikola Jokic. To paraphrase, since this is a family-friendly channel, he alleged that he would “mess” Nikola up. I don’t know why he thinks making threats is necessary, since no NBA player these days would volunteer to get into a fistfight in…

Nikola Jokic 27 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2018)

Okay, everyone’s been saying it for a month now, but we’re super serious this time: Nikola Jokic has to step up. Right now. Before, it wasn’t so urgent, because the Nuggets still had most of their players, but the injuries are really piling up. Jokic is the last above-average starting player remaining besides Jamal Murray…

Nikola Jokic 24 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Nikola Jokic had five 20-point performances in the first seven games of the season. Since then, in the 19 games after that? Six. That’s more than five, which means that my point isn’t as hard-hitting as it could be, but still. I’m sounding like a broken record, but we need more Jokic buckets. He hasn’t…

Nikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/11 Rebs/15 Asts Full Highlights (12/3/2018)

I had some serious doubts about continuing to highlight Nikola Jokic on this channel (a channel ostensibly for the advancement of the role-player cause), because he was already at 19 points per game last year and I figured he would just go up from there. Little did I know that he would stage a little…

Nikola Jokic 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/17/2018)

We need to do something about Nikola Jokic’s seeming indifference to scoring during stretches of gametime. And when I say “we”, I really mean “The Nuggets coaching staff” because there’s nothing I, nor any of you watching this video, can do to get it into his head that he needs to be looking to score…

Nikola Jokic 37 Points/21 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/9/2018)

Two two-point losses in a row for the Nuggets. Sad! Everyone knows what happened in the first one by now: Nikola Jokic took 25 minutes of gametime to shoot one (1) shot. I don’t know what he was trying to prove with that, maybe he was just screwing with us, because in this one, he…

Nikola Jokic 7 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2018)

16 is the most assists by any player this year, in case you were wondering why I made a video where the player (Nikola Jokic) only scored 7 points. Two players have had 15. Can you guess them? Guessing actually shouldn’t be part of it. You should KNOW this. I shouldn’t have to tell you….
