9:54 RIP toriyama 🥲🥲 your impact is unbelievab
-
Idk how people claim jokic is somehow boring to watch. He surrounds himself with other players that are entertaining and elevates them to a whole new level
-
That Jokic-Gordon connection is becoming legendary
-
Being a Denver fan is so weird. During the Melo/AI years, we had to be up by 20 in the 2nd half for me to think we had a chance at the win. Now, on the rare occasions we're down by 20, it's like, "Nah, Jok's got this, we're still okay." What a team.
-
#1 Clutch offense and #1 Clutch defense this season. Need I say more? They're this era's San Antonio Spurs and people are just gonna have to get used to that.
-
The Nuggets are just perfectly built around Jokic. It's truly mesmerizing to see how the nuggets developed through the years to become this monster. Edit: feels like some are misunderstanding my comment. Jokic is a basketball god and he has the perfect supporting cast for his skillset. That's it. Not saying Jokic is only good cos of his team.
-
Let's not forget that this is the same team that bounced back from not 1, but 2 3-1 deficits in the bubble! The Nuggets are just a very composed team and I love it!
-
Jokic is so bad ass to watch orchestrating the offense like a general in the middle of a battle he is knee deep in.
-
When magic drafted AG they were lost on how to use his athleticism along with his other skillset. Now with denver he found the best place in the court near the dunker spot roaming for jokic. Literally match made in basketball heaven
-
I love Air Gordon on that team. He gives them so many extra chances with the offensive rebounds, and can help make misses into dunks. It must be amazing having such a man in the paint giving you a much bigger margin for error, when not hitting your shots.
-
Dude Gordon have the best job in the world, dunk Jokic's passes
-
I never was a Denver fan... But since the bubble I'm watching every single game, Denver basketball is different, i always say they deserve their own top ten every game
-
Their offence is so well defined with Jokic,Murray,Gordon,KCP and MPJ on the floor.Also it helps that they might have the best offensive player in the history of basketball.
-
Don't underestimate Jokic's ability to keep cool and levelheaded during deciding moments. "Don't get too high or too low", his mother always told him. His teammates often mention how this helps them avoid getting stressed in key moments and keep their confidence. In this way, Jokic is an amazing leader for the Nuggets and it's jet another thing that he does that makes his teammates better.
-
I love watching Nuggets Team Basketball. Hope they win it again.
-
If you’ve watched this team since before they won the chip we’ve had so many classic games so many classic wins and so much momentum that was building up to the point of the championship win. I hope they make a 30 for 30 on this team😂
-
Who's here after 20 points comeback by Nuggets in game 2 against Lakers
-
Aaron Gordon is such a perfect fit for the nuggets
-
Everything changed after that Timberwolves game at the end of the 2018 season. It’s crazy to see how much Jokic and Murray have developed along with MPJ. I’ve never been so happier to be a Nuggets fan! Thank you basketball gods 😢
-
i say this about every nuggets video you do (nuggies fan), but they are one of the most experienced young teams I have ever seen, they were getting into game 7 battles with dame/CJ, 3-1ing the clippers with PG/klaw and don-led jazz, etc. It's definitely given them that battle-tested experience that so many of the current young teams need (grizzlies, thunder, twolves).
