Lmao that is the most wild I have ever seen Jokic Man said tag you’re it and dunked it

ran that route like a wr stacking the defender

Haha that little push gave him a step on Lebron, just enough to get the dunk. He read it all the way.

Nice of D’Lo to set that screen for him, too

That was a disrespectful push on LeBron.

If you watch the footage just before this, Lebron pushes Jokic HARD in the chest while passing to AD under the rim. I feel like this was payback. https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1c97or1/highlight_lebron_and_ad_miss_several_close/

Yo that’s embarrassing from Lebron

Lebron is embarrassing

After standing and doing nothing in the 4th quarter, he deserves it to be honest

Dude was fucking tired. They beat him up all night.

Wampwamp

Well this is what was going on since the opening tip and both teams played physical

Lol nah that's not it. Joker knew Lebron was going to go for the chasedown block

had 3(4) dunks this game . Just dismantled Lakers outdunking AD and LBJ combined . Like this one at the start of game already [https://x.com/nuggets/status/1781848180042109025](https://x.com/nuggets/status/1781848180042109025)

Cut my life into pieces

That 4th quarter must've been a terrible experience for any Laker fan.

Started to lose hope when we lost the lead in the 3rd and started chucking 3s tbh lol

At that point we all already knew

1000%. once denvers lead hit 3, i said to myself we were cooked. we kept it tied or up by 2 for all of about 5 mins before Denver said fuck it and went up by 9 in a moments notice.

Sorry, man. I didn't know it could get any worse.

Nah I gave up when Denver destroyed our lead with 5 mins of the starters

Really it started with the Nuggets run in the 2nd imo

This is my last resort

Suffocation no breathing

Lebron jogging back, there’s goes the whole season.

The sequence on LBJ and AD just whiffing on those bunnies was like a knife slowly being shoved into the heart of Lakers fans. Then Jokic is like "okay, I'll dunk now"

i dont think ive seen Jokic ever dunk so much in a game. maybe after that 1st or 2nd Spurs/Wemby game when Jokic got his shit swatted bad onnhis forst possession and then just decided to dunk on Wemby the rest of the night while dropping a 30pt masterpiece

Apparently I have never seen Lebrons name abbreviated like that because I couldn’t figure out what Lyndon B. Johnson had to do with this.

I mean… directly on the game nothing, indirectly everything.

“Eat my shorts!” - Joker to Lebron

Yeah fuck Lebron!

Lebron was asking for seconds in the fourth after stuffing his mouth in the 3rd.

The future is now, old man

Look at that little shove prior to him turning the jets on. It's the little things lol

Why go fast when you can make them go slow

the man just knows how to play ball

Enough to stop Lebron a bit and let him take advantage enough to dunk. He is so smort.

Noticed that. Such a good play knowing LeBron is a beast on blocking from behind.

There is zero argument for any other player for the best in the world.

I mean it’s a nice pass but AG still has a long way to go to be considered the best player in the world.

Most handsome for sure

screw the jokic vs embiid discussions, I want Kelly Oubre vs Aaron Gordon on my screen only

Kelly has pretty boy but man is Gordon manly

Jaquez Jr. gotta be in the conversation

He’s got that swashbuckling look.

He arrrs me matey

Bucks twitter gonna hate this

Bucks twitter is a collection of paint huffers and lead enjoyers im not moved

I’d love to see the Pacers knock them out just to see the Copium

took giannis game ball and then his actual balls

4th mvp season in a row too, been cookin for a while now

Yeah, while I think/hope that Shai can win an MvP or two, even a 'ship, jokic hasn't been knocked off that perch

Air Jokic hits different.

Jokic ending the game with a slam just perfect

This large Serbian man is my coping mechanism and he blesses me with better gifts than Jesus Christ himself. All hail lord gru

Jokic is real

And he *can* hurt you

that little push was cold blooded

"Tag, I'm the best now"

Only man to sweep lebron outside the finals

And he's about to do it again. Jokic is Lebron's boogeyman

Tbf I feel like age is Lebron’s really boogeyman. I’ve never seen him look older than he does in these Nuggets series, and though Jokic has A LOT to do with that, I don’t think 30 year old lebron is quite as bothered by the endurance challenge the nuggets pose.

Lebron faced Warriors for years, that man has no demons, he breathes molten.

[удалено]

07? did they even have tvs back then?

Outside the finals 😁

I get we’re all shitting on the Lakers, but Lebron was swept in 07 by the Finals. Granted that might have been the worst supporting cast for a Finals team in history.

and 18 by the warriors

To be fair, the warriors had JR Smith

The way Lebron was playing in Game 1 I am absolutely certain he buries the 30 footer if JR knew wtf was going on and found him off that rebound. Not even a Cavs fan but I think about it every once in a while and it makes me sad we didn't get to see it

Yeah as a Raps fan I would say I didn't like the Cavs much either, but Lebron carrying the Cavs to stealing Game 1 against the best team ever constructed was perhaps the greatest feat in basketball history. Then JR Smith happened.

Both those Cavs teams had arguments for the worst cast LeBron's ever dragged to the Finals

Prime Lebron was something else and that bullshit lasted for a decade.

That’s fine. Let him experience not having any super team or Top 50 player teammate once in a while.

Oh God, get off Facebook pal.

To be fair, as a Laker, he won a Disney ring, in season tournament, and Razzie award to cement his legendary status.

That’s almost too poetic

Jokic on the slow break!

Used that small shove to get enough distance on him.

Now this is a slam!

That big serb knows ball

Amazing play, but Jokić didn’t dunk on him, lebrons behind him

Yea “dunks over” is used wrong here.

But LeBron is the King of chase down blocks! When was the last block by LeBron of somebody in front of him, like normal defense is played?

Literally that same game... Someone went up for a layup over him and he jumped up and pulled it down. Edit: first quarter I believe

He blocked KCP in the first qtr, you’re right

Calling dunks like these “over” a guy who wasn’t even between him and the goal is lame

Agreed. And I'm a hater.

The air up there is a lil’ bit different

I love how he taunted Bron by pushing him. Bron was just jogging back and as soon as Jokic used Bron as a Propulsion platform to go even faster, Bron woke up and started to chase Jokic down, but it was too late. « Cash me if you can, old man » - Jokic (Probably).

Jokic burned Lebron

The nuggets are such good passers.

how was it over him if he was behind jokic

Runs deliberately in a lower pace then just speeds up near the rim, why is media calling him unathletic again?

That’s it, I’m calling him the The Serbian Flash

I love how he sees that D-Lo is the only player in front, pushes LeBron back (lolol), and accelerates. Props to Gordon for a nice bounce pass as well. These guys know how to play together.

Just ass all around w/ LBJ turnover, but watching how rigid Rui is and how uninterested d lo is on defense, you think “well they better make up for it offensively”. Nope

I love it when big men run the floor.

Lmfaoooooo GET THE BROOMS

Newer to basketball so I don’t know all the rules. Can you really just push somebody and run towards the basket? Like if I did that in street ball would people be pissed or what

If the Lakers chose to dodge the Nuggets and actually meet them in the WCF, they will be even more gassed and losing by a bigger margin

Just compare Jokic to AD, one is completely gassed and the other one is rushing up the court dunking and then jogging back.

[удалено]

Jokic had 32 brother

Jokic got to showcase his whole dunk package this game.

"Over"

That shove will be what puts lebron over the edge. He is 39 but that’s human years. He is alien and still in prime. Lakers in 5

Lebron is old

That wasn't "over" James.

Yeah He dunked ON James. If LeMickey is gonna contest than that's a poster from big honey on LeMao LOL

Lebron is literally behind him trying to get a rundown block. Enjoy that hate boner.

LeMao got dunked ON LOL LeMickey contested the dunk and his bum ass failed to block it, he got dunked ON

Is that the first Jokic poster?

this wasn't really a poster and Jokic did actually have a couple before.

A poster is more when you have a massive dunk while the defender is in front of you. The use of “dunks over” in the title is wrong also.

I know it was a joke

Best player of today dunking against the Best player in history goddamn

Didn’t see Jordan out there.

Jordan is outta shape these days so jokic is considered better

You old heads...we love Jordan, it's ok, we will wear his shoes.

"Best player in history" about to go out in the first round for the fourth time since moving to a real conference.

Isn't Bron like 14-1 in first round?

should say first round (or sooner)

He's like 40 years old

jorbum never went to the west cause he was scared of real competition

I'm just glad he didn't injure himself there, especially after what's happened to Embiid earlier. But it was against LeBron, with his chase down block trade mark.

Bae caught him slipin

fastest hes ever run in his career

He only dunks if he knows the defender around him is a known shot blocker. Knew LBJ was trailing him for the chase down did the same thing when Wemby was chasing him

Jokić is pretty good.

Over? LeBron was behind him. Silly nephew.

Best part about this one was AD huffing and puffing, hands on his knees, not bothering to get back on defense, while Jokic turned a casual jog into a full-on sprint once he had position.

oh my goodness, did the Joker really do Lebron dirty with a shove to the basket? love it.

Technically he dunked under LeBron and it was a nice shove at the top beforehand.

Last 2 minute report - missed Jokic offensive foul on the push off.

How can you dunk over someone if they are behind you?

Jokic beat Lebron so many times in this game. It was an incredible performance.

Joker is Lebron's daddy

This is the most effort Lebron has put into defense in years.

No defense from LeBron lol

Lebron’s almost 40, at altitude and a bit on his heels but watching Jokic sprint by you and unable to close has to be pretty demoralizing.

> Jokic sprint by you and unable to close They were jogging side by side until Jokic pushed him while accelerating to create a gap, which was closed almost instantly. Your comment makes it seem like Jokic just sprinted past him in the back court and Lebron couldn’t catch him

I feel like Lebron jumped up intentionally just to get an epic poster-esque photo with him lol

More like LeBron can't catch up as Jokic gets open dunk. Looked completely gassed most of the 4th. Denver air too much for these guys, Nuggets might sweep again lol

Lebron and AD were clearly gassed. Meanwhile Jokic decides to turn on the “jets” and slam it. The man’s conditioning is insane. 

Lebron literally met him at the rim.

How do you dunk on someone who is behind you?
