  "Really slow legs and really fast arms" is a hilariously accurate way to describe Jokic

  To give every team a chance the second apron was formed, the thing that has killed the Nuggets, how ironic

  Leading the League in both Assists & Rebounds is utterly ABSURD. How he didn’t win the 2025/2026 MVP is beyond me… he was so much better than SGA I don’t get it

  You know what’s ironic, I would argue he’s actually the fastest player. Not in the traditional sense, like I’m sure he can’t run a 40m dash or have the same lateral quickness like other nba players. But think about the advantage his mind gives him. His brain is a supercomputer, hes processing the game faster than anyone we’ve ever seen. When you process the game that fast, the world around you seems to slow down. That’s how he’s able to see plays ahead of time, do crazy court mapping, hold the ball for only 2.7 seconds and have so much impact on the game. His brain makes it so he’s operating in normal speed but everything around him is in slow motion. Or in a different frame of reference, he’s like 1.5x faster than everyone else.

  He uses his slow appearance as a weapon, before he explodes quick and efficient. I think that's often overlooked part of his offensive ability. In many highlights you will see, leaving great defenders behind after a spin or a pumpfake. In slowmo you see him in a scoring position while his defender still defends the position where Jokic was half a second ago :)

  Only three players have made me this thrilled and excited about basketball: Jordan, Curry, and Jokic.

  Stoic post final game made media screaming "he hates bball", if Koobe did it it would be "Mamba mentality". offcours he's obsessed with basketball
