I love this game so much. It’s the best NBA game I’ve watched in years, has the total chaos of a college game and I’m here for it.

Jokic was a mid 2nd round pick.

I saw a few places on Twitter the video of Jokic being drafted.  ESPN was running a Taco Bell ad as his selection came across the bottom graphic.  Incredible.

Also, what a hilarious interview from Jokic, contrast with the jubilation of some of the other stars winning their first title.  Man is exhausted and just wants to go hang with his horses.

Such a breath of fresh air compared to the all star on the other Finals team.  Mr. "I could care less about getting into the HOF and wouldn't attend my own induction if I did" (thank goodness he only considers himself a Tyler JUCO grad and not MU, unless he's admitting he does care...is he even a Tyler grad?  He was only there for one year).  Mr. "I'll hold the next one if the Nuggets will let me borrow it."  Mr. "I'm such a competitor I'm going to script my meltdown and have ESPN waiting at my house to interview me after it."  Jokic is real.

Jimmy needs to find a star like Jokic to latch onto to get a ring.  Be nice if he’d put his ego aside and come play with Giannis in Milwaukee.  Playing with someone that carried a team to a ring might benefit him.

Great point JWags.  I really liked him before the playoffs and I like him a lot more now.  And he is hilarious!  Not to mention totally chill and incredibly humble.  The guy's playoff stats during this run to the title were ridiculous and yet it's all about his team and simply winning the chip. 

Similar to Curry, stats don't really measure his entire value.  Denver couldn't make a anything last night but you could see that every time Jokic got the ball they could get a quality shot.  He's an incredible offensive player, a legit 7 footer, and heavy. I don't recall a true 5  ever playing like him.  He also has a quicker first step than people realize.

I said it before. If Durant wants to ever win another title, the best (maybe only) chance is to head to Miami. Jimmy has the attitude and alpha-ness and KD has the shooting ability.

That would be a good place for Durant. Kyrie might be able to thrive there too, if he keeps his head right.

Both need a superstar to win a title.  Together, close, but no cigar

Jokic and Giannis are the two best players in the league by a considerable margin.  Perhaps Wemby will get there by 2026 but these next 6-7 years should be owned by either the Nuggets or Bucks.  It's about which franchise gets the right pieces around them.  I expect Giannis to be extremely motivated moving forward.

Agreed, Giannis playing under coach Spo would get him to the next level.
