00:00So I was talking about the Joker, and I said that he doesn't even surprise me
00:07in the least that he puts up these numbers every night.
00:10I already said he's the best player in the world.
00:12He is better than Shea Gilgis.
00:14I said, and I think Shea is incredible.
00:16I'm a fan.
00:17I think I'm a fan of both.
00:19But I said that one guy is really the show, and he's kind of ball hoggy to me,
00:25just constantly shooting and going to the tent.
00:28I got no problem with that.
00:29But this other guy, Joker, the way he makes everybody around him better than they ever should be.
00:35Christian Brown is better than he ever should be.
00:38I think he makes every guy on that team better than they ever should be,
00:42including Porter, including Jamal, including the coach, including the assistants.
00:49And it's like he's not even effing trying.
00:52Yeah, no, you're 100% correct.
00:55And so you and I are on the same page.
00:57Because you can go back for the guys that played he left and got paid.
01:03I mean, we can go Gary Harris, KCP, Bruce Brown.
01:07Hell, you can even throw Michael Malone in there, you know.
01:10And he makes – and now Westbrook.
01:13Because Westbrook has an option to sign with Denver again next year.
01:17But he's had such a great year that he's been someplace else.
01:22And why did he have such a great year?
01:24It's because Jokic makes everybody better.
01:27So, yeah, dude, that guy, he's an alien.
01:31I don't think he's a human being.
01:33He's like – this is like an old radio thing, Scott.
01:36This is what I always say, is that like a producer, like Brian, right?
01:41Right now, he doesn't care what's going on on the show.
01:44All he's worried about is what's next.
01:47What do I do next for the Scott Farrell show and on the bench?
01:50What am I doing next?
01:52So Joker plays basketball that way.
01:54He doesn't – he's in the moment, but he's also thinking about how do I do this?
02:01What's the play next going to be?
02:03His IQ level is something I have never seen before,
02:07something that legends like Larry Bird and Irvin Magic Johnson
02:11and Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley have all talked about.
02:16He's just a – he's just a different cat, man.
02:18And I've run out of ways to describe him.
02:21I will say this.
02:22For us Nuggets heads, we're kind of getting spoiled, right?
02:27Because as we're handicapping games, we're sitting there going,
02:29okay, Joker's going to go do his thing.
02:32We just dismiss that.
02:33We just assume he's going to go out there and do what he does every single night.
02:38Yeah.
02:39And he's just – he's something special, man.
02:43What did – when, like, the whole thing went down with Malone,
02:47did anybody, like, ever at any point,
02:51did you or anybody think that it was going to implode?
02:53I didn't – you know, my first thought, and this is probably because I'm closer
03:01to the team, my first thought, Scott, was it's about time.
03:03I thought that should have happened before that.
03:07And, you know, the Kroenke family came out and said that too.
03:10You know, I think the words they used were, you know, we were going to make the move,
03:15but we go on this winning streak against below 500 teams.
03:18We masked our problems with some – and then David Adelman, credit to him,
03:24he just stepped in, and I think the biggest thing he did was he gave people
03:27their voices back, and he encouraged chatter.
03:30And you saw Jokic on the bench last night.
03:33So he encouraged the guys to get engaged again and to hold people accountable,
03:39and it's been refreshing.
