@realLatifLove I still remember that 2023 run just shutting people up.
Chris Broussars did a radio show about maybe analytics is right
English
A spreadsheet found a future T10 player ever and we still don't want to accept analytics. Whew

@realLatifLove @BoongV2 I love this story of the guy who saw Jokic's genius early. How early
He goes to buy a Jokic jersey and the Denver Nuggets store doesn't even have one......and the employees don't even know who Jokic is

I genuinely can't believe Jokic’s floor was +3.4.
He averaged 17.5 / 12.2 / 4.1 (1.9 AST/TO) per 75 on +4 RTS% as a rookie.
Literally hiding in plain sight.

EPM is an advanced metric that tries to measure a singular player's total impact on their team's points per 100 possessions. Here are the top ten rookie seasons (amongst players to finish top 3 in ROTY) since the stat began to be tracked. Of the 75 players that qualify, Kon Knueppel ranks 4th. The average EPM amongst qualified players is 0.09. In the last 23 seasons, the rookie who led the contenders has won 10 times.

@lm277_ @BigB412089 Jokic has never even shot 40 times in a game. He shot 39 times once and had 56 points on 56% shooting
English
@BigB412089 He’s defended decently well before. It took jokic like 40 shots to get 40 last season
English
Putting this one of the refrigerator
Real App@realapp
Nikola Jokic becomes the first center in NBA history to record 40+ PTS & 10+ AST with 0 TOV.
English
@MrSkiddle9378 @JacksonLloyd James Harden has never shot over 50% in his career.
Jokic had a season where his FG% was higher than Harden's best TS%
English
@JacksonLloyd I'd put Jokic up there with Harden, but Harden is the far superior scorer while Jokic is the better playmaker
English
Fun James Harden Discussion:
How many players are better scorers AND passers than him in NBA history?
I’m taking LeBron James in both categories, after that…
kofie.substack.com@Kofie
I think instead of SG debates with Harden, we should put him in "PG/SG" debates instead

@guy1guy21 @TheHoopCentral Lebron has never led the league in touches.
Jokic has led in 6 consecutive seasons

NIKOLA JOKIC TONIGHT:
23 POINTS
21 REBOUNDS
19 ASSISTS
38 MINUTES
UNBELIEVABLE STAT-LINE. 🤯🔥

@wmammoth24 @AndrewDBailey @Shapalicious Reading this after the Mavericks game
A monster 3 game run.

@AndrewDBailey @Shapalicious Turnovers (and subsequent team record) since the return from injury may have done him in

It's starting to look like this will be the first time since 2019-20 that Nikola Jokić will finish outside the top two in MVP voting. I'm not even sure that's the wrong outcome, but...
* Jokić is on track to be the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists per game and rebounds per game in the same season.
* He's on track to break his own record for single-season box plus/minus.
* He trails only Jalen Duren in TS%.
* He's seventh in points per game, making him the only player in the NBA who's top seven in points per game, rebounds per game and assists per game.
* He's tied for ninth in steals per game.
* He's 7th in the league in total raw plus-minus and leads all MVP candidates in net rating swing at +16.8.
* He's 1st in Basketball Reference's BPM, 2nd in Dunks and Threes' EPM (behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), 2nd in BBall Index's LEBRON (behind Victor Wembanyama), 3rd in ESPN's net points per 100 possessions (behind SGA and Kawhi Leonard), 1st in PER and 2nd in WS/48.

@MattHatten0623 @AidanDoc__ Y'all are a bunch of weirdos.
English
@AidanDoc__ THANK YOU!!! I said this same thing earlier today, they swear Jokic doesn't care and he isn't moved by the awards. It's all crap, his team in the west, is 10-6 without him. He could sit out a few more games, but he don't want to miss out on awards. Just admit it
English
They will continue to tell you he doesn’t care about awards.
There’s nothing wrong with caring either, players should. Just stop lying.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Denver's Nikola Jokic – out since Dec. 29 with a knee injury – plans to return tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers at home, sources tell ESPN. Jokic now is in position to also play in Sunday's showdown vs. Oklahoma City in Denver and be eligible for the season awards.
English
@TermineRadio Nope 😂 this is inflated stats era. He would be exposed in past eras
English
If the media covered games instead of personalities, then this guy would be viewed as good as anyone who has ever played.

NIKOLA JOKIĆ WITH VIDEO GAME STATS ON CHRISTMAS DAY 🤯 🃏 56 PTS 🃏 16 REB 🃏 15 AST 🃏 2 BLK 🃏 4 3PM THE FIRST 55/15/15 GAME IN NBA HISTORY 🚨

@WawaIsKing @RyanGreeneDNVR That's not the same as reading the play
English
@RyanGreeneDNVR Everyone in the building knew it was going to Maxey 😭
English
@RyanGreeneDNVR Everyone knew where it was going, it’s so pathetic how Nuggets fans try to gas him up no matter what
English
English
I guess those on and off Jokic numbers didn’t matter against a hot Philly team on the road. Funny how that works when given touches and a green light! 🙂

@GrandPa_of_14 @WellsJorda89710 Grandpa what are you talking about?
There's nothing lost about that neighborhood. That neighborhood is thriving.
English
@WellsJorda89710 New Yorkers have ignored their neighbors and communities for so long not wanting to get involved, they are losing those neighborhoods & communities...
Time to wake up and get involved, before they are gone completely and they must move...

🚨 **MANHATTAN MAYHEM!** Residents in this NYC neighborhood are OUTRAGED—ever since radical Muslim Zohran Mamdani took office (sworn in on the Quran), the Islamic call to prayer is BLASTING FIVE TIMES A DAY, kicking off at 5 AM! 😡🔊
This is what happens when you elect extremists! New York has been CONQUERED without a fight! Wake up, America! 🇺🇸 #MamdaniMess #IslamicTakeover #NYCConquered #RadicalAgenda #ShareIfYouAgree

@LibertyRich_76 @WellsJorda89710 That's not Williamsburg.
You folks have a weird fantasy of NYC dancing in your mind.

@WellsJorda89710 @Indoorsey That's not Manhattan you idiot.
That's nothing to do with any election you further idiot

@LegendOfWinning @freewave3 These still aren't the right numbers.
Also Boston 's defense has been a lot better with Jaylen Brow. On the bench.
English
@freewave3 Darko DPM
Jokic: 1.5
Reed: 0.3
KAT: 0.3
Gordon: 0.3
Durant: 0
Mitchell: -0.3
Luka: -0.1
Harden: -0.6
Brooks: -0.8
Brown: -1.1
so the point still stands
English
There is no way you watch Jaylen Brown and look at these stats and don’t question them.
Brown has a -0.6 DPM
Jokic has a 4.2 DPM
Reed has a 2.0 DPM
Does that seem accurate? Do you really believe Brown is a negative defender and Reed is more than twice the defender
Francesco Semprucci@fra_sempru
I'm reading MVP posts and discourses for a player who is: #21 in DPM #32 in EPM #15 in BPM #36 in WS/48 With a -2.7 on-off Are we getting fooled by the counting stats of a player with a 36.4% USG? Again?
