37
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Nicola Jokic
38
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
claims his third
39
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,800
MVP award
40
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Shaq your thoughts I
41
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,180
Don't like to rain on people's parade, but I'm not happy with this one
42
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,680
Congratulations a joker you are the best bad big man in the league
43
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:37,560
But based on everybody's criteria my criteria stats that stuffer you guys criteria number one seed
44
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Which team has a better record? I felt Shay Alexander deserved it because I've been I've been number two a lot
45
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,280
And I played my ass off number two so the fact that he has to start all over next year and try to win it again
46
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280
I think it was I
47
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Know it's gonna be hurtful for him. Hopefully he uses this to motivate him to win a championship
48
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,520
But I thought and again no disrespect to the Joker best big man in the league by far
49
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,400
You could have went this way, but I thought
50
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:13,240
Shade Gilges Alexander one of only you know a few players that had 30 points 50 times
51
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,720
That stuffer great season his team is number one. Nobody expected him to be number one
52
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,200
I thought she gives just Alexander was gonna win it by far, but congratulations to Joker
53
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,320
I'm happy for him third time MVP
54
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,900
You really can't be mad at this vote
55
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:32,700
But the fact that he has to start all over next year and win it over again
56
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Because again, I thought I was robbed two or three times
57
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,260
Right, and I played my ass off stat stuffer won championships those years
58
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:45,860
But again, no disrespect to the Joker, but I may personally I would have gave it to shame
59
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:49,180
You keep throwing stat stuffer out there. It is no because that's my criteria
60
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:54,980
Okay, not stuff the statue. Yeah, but not like no, but not like I mean she
61
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:57,020
really
62
00:04:57,020 --> 00:05:00,740
She is one of a few players that had 30 points in 50 games
63
00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:04,460
Well, look at but when you're talking about stuff in the stat sheet
64
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:10,540
Look at all the triple doubles for Nikola Jokic you look at his ranks in scoring rebounding and assists
65
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:14,400
I don't think stat stuffing is a as an argument. Okay, but even doing all that
66
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:17,140
Okay, see was a number one. They had
67
00:05:18,540 --> 00:05:23,380
No, they had identical records. It was a it was a division record tie breakers
68
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:27,100
That was the separating factor all this is subjective. Yeah, it is
69
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:33,220
Well, and you're and you're certainly entitled to you can make a case for any of those three to make it
70
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:38,620
Actually, I thought you could have made and I've said it before and I just said I thought you could have made a case
71
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:44,420
For five guys sure without Anthony Edwards and Jalen Bronson. I thought anybody voted for one of those five
72
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:48,780
I would have been like, okay, I can understand that because every year
73
00:05:49,540 --> 00:05:54,020
Idiots get on TV and talk about who's the best player. It never goes to the best player
74
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:58,140
It goes who had the best regular season, you know, Shaq said he got robbed every year. It doesn't
75
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:02,180
Well most of the time it goes to the guy. So, you know Shaq say it got robbed
76
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:04,180
I don't know if he got robbed
77
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:12,460
It doesn't go to the best player go to the guy who had the best record you know what don't name it most viable player
78
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:17,580
It goes to the most valuable player in the league that was me
79
00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:23,220
Well, don't name it that day let's let's
80
00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:27,660
Let's stick to this year, let me give you the results by the way
81
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:30,500
Because it really wasn't close
82
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:32,500
Whoo
83
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:37,620
That's surprising first place votes 79 for Joker 15 for SGA
84
00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:40,700
4 for Luca 1 for Yanis
85
00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:45,020
Not for Bronson. No total votes total points
86
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:47,340
926 for Joker
87
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:49,340
640 for SGA
88
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:54,860
566 for Luca so it's Joker SGA and Luca Doncic 1 2 3
89
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:58,780
I mean 15 for SGA. Come on. I just I would say this, you know
90
00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:01,500
Yoke itch is
91
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:02,780
arguably
92
00:07:02,780 --> 00:07:08,100
Best Center in this millennial right now. There's no question that he has he's the one a third MVP
93
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,500
I
94
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,380
Would have to agree to with Shaq on this regard that
95
00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:21,580
He's shakeout shakerless Alexander has taken his team to heights that no one knows no expected and
96
00:07:22,420 --> 00:07:26,980
That actually hurts being great like Shaq was and Yoke itch at times
97
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:33,220
It hurts they're like, oh well, you're supposed to do that. You're supposed to do there's an expectation
98
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:37,940
and the expectation that Joker would join us is coming to pass because
99
00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:44,220
The MVP for the third time over Nikola Yoke, it's joins us tonight Joker
100
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:46,940
Congratulations to you on number three
101
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:53,140
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, you're I guess you're pretty good at these acceptance speeches now
102
00:07:53,460 --> 00:08:00,700
This is your third time, so where do you begin in in your recognition in this one and what does the third one mean to you?
103
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:02,020
I
104
00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:05,940
Mean, we've got to start with the teammates, you know without them. I'm nothing and
105
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:10,660
Without them I cannot do nothing, you know, so coaches players
106
00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:16,140
Organization medical staff across 10 coaches development coaches, you know, it's a
107
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:22,680
Old one big circle that I cannot be where I am without them
108
00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:29,060
Joker as the president of the big man alliance, you are the vice president of the big man alliance, you know
109
00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:33,980
I love you the best player in the league. I want to congratulate you, but I want you to hear from me first
110
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:39,540
I thought the SGA should have been the MVP. That's no disrespect to you. But congratulations
111
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:42,660
And what do you guys have to do to get back on track versus Minnesota?
112
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:46,640
Thank you, we don't judge people here, you know, so that's fine
113
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:57,220
All good, I love you I love your brothers one thing we always gonna do is keep it real with each other congratulations
114
00:08:57,220 --> 00:09:01,780
I love I think there is a lot of people that a lot of players deserve it
115
00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:05,500
You know, it's probably details in it and a small small things
116
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:13,060
But yes, we have a we have a target have a touch patch we lost two games in at home against Minnesota
117
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:15,660
tomorrow we leave we're going to
118
00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:20,420
Minnesota to try to get back serious to Denver
119
00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:24,820
You know joker number one. Congratulations, you know
120
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:29,420
How has the shock of the size and the defensive pressure?
121
00:09:30,060 --> 00:09:36,060
Kind of caught you guys off guard because the way they're the two big guys obviously one didn't play last game
122
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:42,540
But their perimeter players are playing so aggressive defensively. Do you think that kind of caught y'all off guard? I
123
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:50,420
Don't think so because we played against them four times and they're the number one defense the whole season and they were number one
124
00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:52,420
spot the whole season so
125
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:56,220
No, it's just you know, it's a it's a part of basketball, you know
126
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:03,060
They are playing really good they had they didn't they didn't lose the game the first round and the day they continue to play
127
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:08,220
We're on a really high level and they're just kind of getting getting higher and higher and
128
00:10:08,780 --> 00:10:14,060
We kind of just I'm gonna say stop. We didn't play didn't play the our brand of basketball
129
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:20,300
So that's our goal for the next tomorrow whenever we play to play our brand of basketball
130
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:25,780
Congratulations, Jokic, you know, I want to say that also you came into the league
131
00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:27,780
and you kind of
132
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:35,100
Redefined what the center position is has done in terms of the threes the passing and the ball handling is a different era
133
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:41,420
Untraditional so you win your third MVP. What is an MVP to you? What does that actually?
134
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:47,860
Qualifications that you need to have and to be an MVP that you've done three times. I
135
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:50,660
Mean, I don't know
136
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:53,420
Probably
137
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,980
Some people say it's the best best player the best team
138
00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:04,980
But I don't know probably the guy who helps there with the most viable though who like the team cannot play without him
139
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:06,980
There's I don't know probably probably that
140
00:11:08,060 --> 00:11:09,980
Last thing for me
141
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:15,240
Nicola is just what and in times like this when there is this singular award like this
142
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:19,820
And you know, you have your current crop of teammates and coaches and that kind of thing
143
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:21,420
But when you think back
144
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:25,140
Who was it that helped make this possible the most for you? I?
145
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:32,020
Mean since I came here I'm working with them in the nuggets organization
146
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:40,340
Individually, I'm working with two three people. It's it's a Jason Miller. It's Felipe and it's Augie and you know
147
00:11:40,340 --> 00:11:45,980
Those are guys who work with me closely and of course our coach and then our coach was one
148
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:48,860
I'm with seven seven year eight years and
149
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:56,620
You know tomorrow the guy who are playing the most in this organization and you know, and my family
150
00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:01,060
You know, they're always with me and what was around me, but you never see actually you kind of see them
151
00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:09,100
Yeah, so who last thing who planted the seed with you that this would ever be possible
152
00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:15,140
That's it I really don't know I mean I really don't know I mean it's probably
153
00:12:16,220 --> 00:12:18,140
I
154
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:19,980
Think it's not one person
155
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:21,980
All right. I'll take that for an answer
156
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:26,540
Didn't try to stump you on your on your night, but I appreciate it
157
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:38,660
So, yeah again the Joker SGA Luca Donchich one two three four
158
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:43,660
