Nikola Jokic needs to lose at least 25-50lbs. This is unacceptable.

Let's see how you spin this.

What's the bet this muh'fukka ducks this post.....

most NBA gms are bad at their jobs. Why there is only 1 or 2 title contenders every year.

Thank you OP for this thread. This has been my beef with sports since I was a kid.

With black players if they ain't shaped like greek gods then all the racist fans and racist media criticize their weight and how they are shaped. Think melo, harden and other black players.

Yet white players can look like they eat a bag of whoppers and white castles for breakfast and no one says shyt about their weight. For example how chubby Kevin Love was in minnesota or how chubby donic was in his rookie year or how chubby Jokic is and no one says shyt about how fat and out of shape they are. And if you say something about the white boys weight you get some push back. Like last year when folks called out Donic's weight you got the well he didn't have a chance to work on his cardio in the offseason and blah blah blah.

fukk that bull shyt...black players never get those excuses.

You see the same shyt in basketball when it comes to white boys playing defense. No matter how old a black player is (lebron) or how avg or slightly above avg an athlete they are for an NBA player (Harden). Black players are expected to play defense. No matter how much their offense load is. They are expected to play defense at a Bill Russell level. If not then media and fans run with the bull shyt that they are lazy, have no defensive IQ or are pouting.

But a white boy.....shyt if he young (Donic) or built like a greek god (KP) or has a big offensive load (Dirk) he is never expected to be a two way player and play defense. If you call them out on defense you get push back as well. Folks will mention their offensive load, or how they are unathletic to play defense even if as a offensive player they can jump out a gym (KP is a perfect example). Every damn excuse will be used to defend their lack of commitmemt on the defensive end (as they are hidden on defense game after game after game).

Back-to-back game-winners; best passing big man in the league; best offensive anchor big man in the league; and @Squirrel The Casual Man is still out here running around in circles, talking to himself, trying to make sense of it all.

Pray for him.

He's undisciplined, he needs to lose a ton of weight, how much does he really love the game?:mjpls:

Remember when cousins got drafted. They were dogging him out on his weight at the draft.

Love gets drafted he at the draft looking like he drinks buckets of churches chicken and the announcers make no mention of his weight.

We get it. He’s more skilled than Giannis, Embiid, and Ben Simmons, just like you said about Porzingis.

I’m sure he can also guard Kareem, just like you said Draymond could.

He’s also better than Anthony Davis. We get it.

nah, Denver talks about Jokic weight all the time. He is asked questions about by Denver media, so this statement doesn’t apply to him. That was a huge talking point going into the offseason was his weight and if he’ll be able to manage it on the Serbia national team.
