Nikola Jokić dominated across all offensive categories, finishing with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. He is just the second player in NBA history to open his Finals debut with a triple-double (first is Jason Kidd). Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, LeSean McCoy and Ric Bucher debate on whether the Joker has proven he is the best player on the planet or not.

Rick looking silly boiiii 😂
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I think Giannis is the best player in the league BUT Slicks points make no sense. It’s Jokics fault that his “competition” couldn’t get to the finals by not losing to an 8 seed?
Lol white pundits in the US are terrified to give jok his props
So he's the best! Is what you are saying.?
In matchups wise Bucks can't do much against the Nuggets. The Bucks rely a lot on defense and the Nuggets eat that for dinner. Philly is a 50/50 matchup. Joel's scoring is basically unstoppable for the Nuggets so Joel can go off and win in a 7 game series but it will be tough.
This white man is very stupid
If you Double Embiid he can get flustered, the difference between Jokic and Embiid in terms of passing is multiple orders of magnitude
Never seen a white guy try to distance himself from looking bias by discrediting a fellow Caucasian so that he maintains his ability to vote on MVPs. It's embarrassing to watch 🤦🏻♂️
What a stupid mf'r
He was the best player in the last 3 years hands down .He is just allways producing and deserves all the glory coming his way.He revitaliesed basketball like Steph for making it cerebral again after it was all lifting weights and shooting 3's
OMG, no excuses to invalidate Jokic is cheap enough for these goons. First, Jokic was bad because he couldn't go far in the playoffs because he had a bad team, no that his team is better, it's still not good enough. and btw, Jokic makes this team better. Without him they weren't half as good
It’s so funny man how Embiid killed Jokic nobody was saying any of this but when Philly loses Embiid is all of a sudden trash
So its his problem that other superstars gets hurt. embiid is always hurt and does not take care of his body . always falling, always out of gas, injured. embiid does with with size and athletism and jokic plays Chess, 5 moves ahead of everybody
This is like saying Novak isnt the best player on planet rn because Nadal is injured…
Giannis was injured to be fair so I'd say him and Jokic are 1A 1B for now until we see real separation
She has to be the most annoying person on this show. Talk about failing upwards in life.
Jokic's game is beautiful and effective.
Lol Jokic is great and nobody can stop his team rn. Everybody’s definition of what makes them the best in the world is DIFFERENT!
You have to show up to play. If Yannis or Embid is hurt and can't play well enough to help his team, then it is too bad that they are not at their best. Stay fit and healthy is part of the game. The argument of Yannis or Embid are not at their best because of hurt or missing games is too lame and only demonstrates why they are not the best. Jokic is the best in NBA in 2023.
And he’s not a liability on defense. He’s not great but he’s not bad either.
Why is this show still on
Yeah. The man he is manhandling right now has manhandled the man who manhandled Embiid. And it is his fault.
Ric Bucher’s argument is terrible smh
Ric the competitios were all eliminated and two teams are left standing, what are you saying man, but I'm glad you still have a job.
look at tim duncan, jokic is a all time great.
Yes Steph was undisputed when he became first unanimous MVP in 2016. Common guys!
Shady is absolutely correct.
are these people retarted??
He is the best in the world now, because he is better that everyone playing. And how many triple doubles does Jokic have while winning those games?
Can’t wait to rip you tomorrow 😂
Imo joker deserved to win mvp this year over Embid.
The only thing that Embid has over joker is defense & athleticism. But joker is a better facilitator and has better basketball IQ.
Is she a die hard heat fan or she just in love wit jimmy butler
He walked through Durant Booker walkthrough LeBron and Anthony you look real good game 1 endgame 2 and he is playing the best team out of the East because they're in the finals this man's got so many qualifiers dude😊
Wow, slick! Losing some ground mane.😂😂😂
I'm not going to hold a player's availability against him if injuries are to blame. I love Giannis and everything he represents and does on the court to win games. But I definitely am very swayed by players who truly elevate the play of the guys around them. Because of that and the skills Jokic has, how he makes Denver look like an unbeatable system, and how he's led this team to the Finals with convincing wins (people will always bring up "IF DURANT'S TOE WASN'T ON THE LINE" when talking about Giannis 2021 playoff run to the Finals), I'm leaning towards calling him the best player on the planet.
Tbf Giannis would be a valid argument because the only hardware that would seperate them at that point was Giannis actually won DPOY, Jokic hasn’t
I think Jokic is the best player in the NBA rn but Giannis is the only other valid argument
This has the most ignorant take for an MVP voter, it's just a shame.
Analysts and commenters are often so disingenuous. He plays a game that isn't full of classic flair, but this man is a savant. He makes everybody around him better. It is a unique quality to have. I know Americans are looking for Neo (matrix ref.) but there are so many ways to play this game and he does it on an elite level.
The fact there is an argument proves there is no clear best player in the planet. When MJ, Bird, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron were the best, there was no argument. I take Giannis, you take Jokic…
"Is jokic playing with an all-star?"
Boom mic drop. This guy got schooled, and he even admitted that hardly anyone agrees with him. He is just hating.
Yeah but what do you call the guy that will beat the team that beat Giannis’ team?
Typical Slick NBA L
