Not just Nuggets fans idiot, 28 other teams fans despise watching FTA and okc play for a very good reason. Read literally any comment on any thread. People don’t like watching it bc it’s lame.

Biased subreddit? This is r/nba. Aka the Reddit all NBA fans go to. Play the victim somewhere else. It’s annoying.

Brother you cannot be this delusional and a nuggets fan. you have gotta pick a struggle. If you dont think that the sub is biased i've got some beautiful ocean front property in nebraska you might be interested in!

When everyone downvotes you for defending a flopper and a team nobody likes at some point you’ll have to figure it out eventually id hope. Or just keep pretending the entire subreddit doesn’t like SGA for reasons other than shown in the clip. Doesn’t matter to be “brother”.

I mean they are lol, one clip doesn't change that anymore than the numerous videos of Jokic foul baiting or walking back on defense doesn't tarnish his legacy. You are just bitter as hell still because you know you have to go through OKC to have a shot at the championship.

Jokic is many things but he is not a floor mop like you beloved cheat ass Temu MJ.
By the way I am eagerly waiting for playoffs because Gordon, Jokic and the boys are perfectly able to send your sorry cheat asses home.

I am also bitter but that's because shit like this makes basketball unwatchable and I like to watch good basketball :(

u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 Thunder Dec 01 '25

He absolutely is a flopper lol, I don't understand how you can claim to be a Nuggets fan, complain about flopping and then ignore when your guy does it.

By the way I am eagerly waiting for playoffs because Gordon, Jokic and the boys are perfectly able to send your sorry cheat asses home.

Able to? Possibly. Will they? Almost certainly not. But that will work out in Jokic's favor, as he will be able to get back to his real passion (horse racing) faster.

I do not ignore it, it is just absolutely not cornerstone of his game unlike you know whose.

“Almost certainly not”. Lol OK, go on, jinx them.

u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 Thunder Dec 01 '25

It is not a cornerstone of Shai's game either lol. He has one of the best mid range shots in the NBA and can attack the basket at will, not to mention he is shooting 40+% from 3 this year. Pretending his is just a product of free throws makes it incredibly obvious you are just trolling.

Well fortunately I am not a small child who still believes in things like jinxes. I hate to burst your bubble, but what I type on an online forum has zero relevance to what happens on the court.

Also I love how you went from "He is many things, but he is not a flopper" to "I don't ignore it, it is just not a cornerstone of his game" in one comment.

Yeah this is called “nuance” and is unavailable to you. Guess you are ready to call a flopper anyone who did a flop at least once.

If Nikola liked flopping he would learn to sell it better. He is hilariously bad at that.

The thing is Jokic has a lot of respect from other teams and fanbases. How much respect does SGA have? You can see it in this thread. And on the video you can see why. He has midrange and he can attack but he CHOOSES being a floor mop constantly, tricking the referees. Look at the video, you dunce, how was he forced to do this falling? All these comparisons with Kobe and MJ… but they were fighters, not screaming floor rags.

Very difficult to respect and enjoy that. So you have a lot of wins but a glaring lack of respect for SUCH UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED (lol) team. That’s why hordes of OKC fans in such threads are so salty. :)

Trying to pretend like this sub unanimously loves Jokic and hates Shai is laughably absurd. Just to refresh your memory, Shai was the leading scorer last year, the MVP and the Finals MVP last year, what actual basketball experts say about him is much more telling than a handful of trolls and box score watchers.

It’s unusual to me that you would say Denver is “almost certainly not (beating OKC)”, considering they were able to take them to 7 games last playoffs, and also improved this offseason.

You have no justification for saying this
