It's like they hired an editor that had a personal hatred for the big guy or he was just paid 10 bucks to produce this and this is his 5 minutes of work.

A man of many words

[–] domdomburg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This feels like a sketch from "I Think You Should Leave"

[–] leafhat355@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I think we have confused Jokic's distaste for what goes into the NBA media content machine with a distaste for basketball.

[–] NuggsBurgh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Buckle up, that will be the narrative around him this year. Each year there has to be a new angle to attack the guy from, despite him never doing anything to warrant it (the discourse around his 3rd mvp last year was horrific and xenophobic). Jokic loves ball, is obsessed to a degree but has also developed a healthy separation between NBA "work" and personal life. This will get misconstrued over and over, used to attack him and honestly it's gross to watch and just furthers the point he's better off just doing what he's doing.

[–] mcereal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I mean it's fun to goof a bit on him because he obviously has a rather rich inner life outside the game but he clearly cares about being really fucking good at playing ball.

[–] realsomalipirate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn nuggets fans are truly the new Warriors fans lol. Same insane stan energy and inability to take a joke (also young as hell fans).

[–] Eilonwy94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You guys are so dramatic sometimes lol

[–] cuddlewumpus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

horrific and xenophobic

Huh? I thought he was MVP too but I somehow missed all the horrors.

Understandable given that, for many fans, the media content and tabloid drama IS basketball.

[–] prematurely_bald@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He likes playing the actual game of basketball, but not everything that comes with the NBA and stardom. I think many players would somewhat agree with that, at least partially.

This is so inspiring... Jok is gonna be a motivational speaker one day.

[–] ryuujinusa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

a means to and end, that end being riding horseys for the rest of my life when I retire.

[–] HandIllustrious5854@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In another life I swear he must’ve been a special Olympics mvp

[–] ReflectionGloomy8851@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This looks like the same editing they do for skin medication commercials like "Thanks to Brelevy I'm not afraid to go out in public anymore"

[–] Legitimate_Secret_79@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

helo i am jokic i like horse

[–] Technical_Towel_990@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How is this dude the best player in the nba lol shit makes no sense

[–] broncosfighton@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." - Chris Rock

People said he hates basketball because he doesn't like post game interviews or media fluff.

[–] wheresmywhere@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Seems like he really tried

[–] Funkytadualexhaust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Paycheck to buy horsies?

[–] trashiguitar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic has Kimi Raikkonen energy

[–] grrrown@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can’t believe we lost to this goober.

[–] brnnnfx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And imagine how much he'd destroy the rest of the NBA is he cared about basketball as much as he does horses.

[–] blorp4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like an ad for Down syndrome awareness 😭

Is this AI?

[–] 666666Satanislife@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think he loves basketball the sport and views the NBA as his job.

Jokic: wins back-to-back MVPs

Also Jokic: "Basketball is the worst fucking sport in the world, I shit myself in range every time I have to even imagine touching a basketball. This game is a fucking joke and I would choose anything else other this goddamn sport."

[–] a_fking_feeder@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] WinnieXi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

what is he saying in the video? i can only hear “basketball means … in my life”

[–] Initial-Stick-561@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We all know that he is lying. He loves his horses and being with family much more.

But no matter what, you’re great at it and please keep playing even though some of your horses may win some races and you’ll be more happy when hoisting that one than the Finals-MVP trophy… You make us fans happy!

[–] CupOfHotTeaa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You can’t be doing this your whole life without loving basketball. He probably just doesn’t like everything that comes with being an nba superstar

[–] broncosfighton@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Legitimately one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen

[–] hkredman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you don’t have sound on (and you don’t know who jokic is) you could easily mistake this for a special olympics ad.

[–] ZionSmashesPStars@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

why this look like a make a wish commercial wtf

[–] Namespac4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Weird that he says this but then after post season games he'll say it's just a job and i have other things to do at home? Just curious about the discrepancy

[–] obligatedexperience@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] BEDNMF@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is what peak athletic performance looks like

[–] CaptainCallus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I honestly thought this was some kind of joke edit

[–] LostThePassword34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This man looks like they gave a thumb thumb from Spy Kids a face

[–] POwerfuldeuce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know why this so fucking funny to me.
