Best player in the world right now. The guy is unbelievably good.

Dude always looks like he is completely gassed
Then again if I scored 30 points had 20+ boards and 14 assists I'd be tired too

He really cooled off in the second half. Had something like 19, 16 and 7 in the first half. Ended up with a mere 34, 21 and 14 on 7-8 on ones, 9-14 on twos and 3-3 on threes.
Like Mark Jackson said tonight, this game looks really easy for him right now.
Denver has now won 7 playoff games in a row, 2 against Phoenix, 4 against LA, and now tonight. No drop off from the long layoff, they look dominant.
That’s one of the things that makes him so interesting. In an age where these guys are so athletic and built like freaks and teams just heave 3s (yea I know a bit of hyperbole) he’s none of that. But is likely the best player in the league.
He has the most unique basketball skill set that I’ve ever seen. I don’t have 1 particular favorite team since Pittsburgh doesn’t have a pro team, but I gravitate towards watching the great players and teams. This Denver team and Jokic are really enjoyable to watch.
He's interesting for old school type watchers like myself, he could of been a star in the old days, playing the Kareem style, just posting up down low and scoring from within 10 feet, but he's basically a Point Center, he looks like Bryant Reeves bringing the ball up
Serbia produced the NBA finals MVP and French Open champion on back-to-back days, a country of fewer than 7 million. Not too shabby.
