Transcript

00:00The Denver Nuggets select Nikola Jokic.

00:04Nikola Jokic, just a pure basketball delight.

00:07Oh, look at that pass! Look at the finish! What a play!

00:10What did we just see there?

00:12It's just unlike any other player that we've seen, maybe ever.

00:20Jokic has it. Clock ticks, got to put one up.

00:23Jokic for the run. Oh! It's good!

00:27How about Jokic with an incredible pass to Aaron Jordan.

00:31Best player in the world, and he can do everything on the basketball court.

00:35Nikola can't do it by himself, but it definitely helps having the three-time MVP on our team.

00:50How many more could he get?

00:52Probably as much as he wants.

00:54I mean, he's just one of those freak of nature athletes that just goes out there and somehow gets the job done every night.

01:00I mean, you look up at the scoring sheet and he has like 32 points, 16 assists, 15 rebounds.

01:06So the guy's game is unlimited, and I think he has a great, great future left in this league.

01:25There is a long road ahead of Nikola.

01:28So I'm hoping and I think he's going to achieve more and more.

01:34I personally do. I personally do.

01:37But let's not put any burden on his back. Let him do what he does best.

01:42When you start batting, it's easy.

01:44Ha ha ha ha!

01:49Jokic just gets it off in time. It's up!

01:51Oh! It's good! Of course it goes in!

01:58You know that I told that I didn't want to stay on parade, but I f***ing want to stay on parade.

02:03This is the best time. This is f***ing great.

02:07Yeah, this is amazing.

02:09Jokic has showed that he's an MVP player each and every year.

02:12He gives it all. He practices. He gets his team ready.

02:16And I think he's taking the right mindset with that team. The team has to follow him.

02:21Even though he's not the most outspoken or the most smiley guy out here with everyone,

02:27he's a jokester. He enjoys basketball and he works extremely hard.

02:31As time goes on, people will start appreciating his greatness.

02:34Jokic has a chance to be one of the all-time greats.

02:37One of the all-time great centers to ever play the game.

02:40Oh, look at that pass! Look at the finish! What a play!

02:43What did we just see there?

02:45It's just unlike any other player that we've seen maybe ever.
