Most of the NBA's head coaches praise their own players, and if a head coach praises players from other teams, it should be really appreciated and recognized. In just two days, Warriors coach Kerr and Kings coach Gentry both praised Nuggets star Jokic. In the eyes of most fans, these two managers are not only admired, but also subdued by Jokic.
Let's see what the two men have to say, today the Kings lost to the Nuggets, Jokic had 38 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists, and Gentry said after the game that Jokic was the MVP. The Nuggets beat the Warriors at home two days ago, and after the game Warriors head coach Kerr said: Jokic should be re-elected as the regular season MVP, he is too good. Jokic had 32 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists in that game.
Both Coach Kerr and Gentry have coached many stars, and it is not easy to win the admiration of these two people. If you look at Jokic's performance this season, some of the fans here should have been convinced by him. Jokic's performance this season can only be described in one word: impeccable, he played the best season of his career.
Jokic this season is actually more efficient than last season, and there is a noticeable improvement on the defensive end. This season Jokic has led the team alone, he has carried the responsibilities of the team's offensive and defensive ends on his shoulders, and jokic currently has a comprehensive statistic close to 26+14+8. Jokic's scoring rebounds and assists are ranked in the top 10 of the NBA, such a single stat sheet can compete in the regular season MVP in any NBA year. Among the many regular-season MVP contenders, Jokic's average score per game is not the highest, and both Alphabet Brother and Embiid are averaging higher points per game than Jokic. And the two averaged nearly 30 points per game. Jokic averages just 26 points per game, but he's an ultra-efficient star, and it's not scary to average 26 points per game, the terrible point is that he shot 57.4 percent from the field. Jokic has averaged 29 points per game in the last five games and shot a staggering 65.9 percent from the field.
Now, just let Jokic pick up the ball near the paint with a high probability of scoring. He can easily squeeze into the inside line, followed by either a hook or a back-up shot to score, Jokic also has extremely flexible footsteps, opponents will be played by him. Jokic's shot in the mid-range area was very solid and solid. His shots are basically not at a jumping height, but they are smoother and slightly lean back, and opponents basically can't interfere with his line of sight. For comparison, Embiid is averaging the league's highest-scoring percentage this season, but shooting less than 50 percent from the field.
Defensively, Jokic's rebounding average ranks second in the league, and his ability to get a slot is very strong. Jokic is currently the best inside line in the NBA's passing ability, and it is also one of the best in NBA history. The Nuggets are sixth in the West to achieve a record of 40 wins and 26 losses, in fact, the winning rate is considerable, considering that Jokic led the team alone, the Nuggets' current record is satisfactory. The excellent record of the data has not dragged its legs, coupled with the praise of the head coach, Jokic's probability of winning the regular season MVP is getting higher and higher. The talented centre-forward from Europe doesn't seem to have reached his peak yet, and he seems to have room to improve. As long as he has him in the Nuggets, it is a super competitive team. Dear readers, do you think Jokic will be elected regular season MVP this season?
