“The Narrative Wasn’t About Us” || Denver Nuggets Mini-Movie
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2023
- The Denver Nuggets have been a very unlucky team in recent NBA memory. Following their stellar run to the Western Conference Finals in the bubble the team couldn't manage to stay healthy. Jamal Murray tore his ACL and missed two postseason runs while Michael Porter Jr missed one postseason run due to a back injury. While those guys missed time, all eyes turned to the Joker, who went on to become a two-time MVP in 2021 and 2022. However, Jokic's MVPs were met with heavy criticism due to a lack of playoff success and narrative. Nick Wright even went as far as to call Jokic the worst MVP in 35 years! Other "analysts" like Kendrick Perkins called him a "stat-padder". But Nikola Jokic and company just proved everyone wrong! Winning their first NBA championship in franchise history and reviving the narrative around the franchise! But as Coach Michael Malone said following game two of the Lakers series, "The Narrative Wasn't About the Nuggets."

This is literally the best video honouring the Denver Nuggets championship win.
Thank you!
@@nbahoopswithtj He's 100% right. Well done.
I couldn't have said it better, myself. & I was hoping for someone to make something as great as this.
k😊😊❤
@@nbahoopswithtjthank you for putting this together!!! I can only imagine how long this took. So thank you!
I've been following Denver since Jokic came to them, I'm Serbian, so it's logical. I've always liked Murray a lot, the energy he brings to the team is incredible. But Gordon is what binds this team together. It's just incredible in this day and age that he has so many stars on one team who are selfless and put the team before themselves!Denver's basketball looks more like European basketball to me than any other team in the NBA!I came for Jokic but I fell in love with Denver's basketball.
It was this energy they brought from day one this season, how they playing and building for the title
Nikola Jokic is the only reason why I started to watch Basketball again since the Michael Jordan days. Neither Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Steph or KD could convince me to do so !!
The only bad part of this video was having to listen to Perkins and Nick Wright
Coming from a Raptors fan 🇨🇦. This covers the entire Jockic contention narrative, in a way the media continues to ignore....we know the feeling up north over here... A true masterpiece 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I cried so many times watching this video.
We went through so much. Jokic being slander and diminished all his success and accomplishments. Jamal injury, MPJ injury. Everyone attacking the Nuggets for literally everything. Jokic being hated by the media. They attacked Jokic restlessly for losing in the playoffs. I never saw Curry winning without Klay and Draymond. Never saw Giannis winning without Jrue or Middleton, Never saw LeBron winning without Irving/Wade KLove/Bosh or AD. Never saw Tim Duncan win without Manu or Parker. Compare to other players who always got their sidekicks right to be help end and yet kept failing. Neither of them received as much slander and hate like Jokic got
We as a franchise we really went through so much pain and we finally did it. WE ARE THE NBA CHAMPIONS AT LAST. After almost 50 years of waiting we finally did it. I still cry remember Jamal once the game was over.
And I'll add the year jokic won first MVP warriors and national media was talking Steph is MVP cuz without Dray and Klay he made the play in game, historical is what they said and next year Jokic made playoffs without his two best teammates. And wtf wrong with people crying over someone winning a championship, is this country this damn soft these days?
Actually Tim won his first title without Manu and Parker. There was 33 years old David Robinson though.
Brother you are a grown man crying about other grown men winning a basketball game…..
@@nickpeck3386you cry cuz no dad😂
I love that players and everyone around them in Denver Nuggets function as big, loving, supportive family- keep that spirit!
I appreciate you doing your homework on this Nuggets team. This run truly is the first installment of the Nuggets movie
And still so humble (Jokic). His humbleness is actually WISDOM! Because, it`s not all about yourself - it`s about the collective. That is what he tries to teach. He should be an example for future generations.
We want to see Nick Wright eat his words on live tv. Nikola Jokic never spoke ill of anyone. He intentionally laid low at season's end to give Embiid the MVP.
you 're right and when you see player like embid cry on media for an MVP run its sad, and when you see a commentator like kendrick perkins (and he admit before playoff that he never saw Denver) changing the narrative on racism with others media against jokic its pathetic
Wow... this video brought me to tears. You captured the feeling, narrative and storyline us Nuggets fans have been through these past few years. Thank you...
I’m glad you enjoyed!
It was a great video and I love nuggets, haven't missed a game in like ten years but y'all seriously crying? No wonder America society is so soft rn.. dudes be crying over a game .
TH-cam video about basketball brings you to tears, grown man acting like a little ass boy stop taking sports so serious bro it’s a child’s game
Nuggets & Jokic just doen't get old,,, look out world, NBA, Nuggets & Jokic are here.
If I could give this a rating, it's getting 5 stars without a shadow of a doubt.
Thank you so much for this quality piece on the Nuggets!! This is the best one honoring and crowning the champions out there, many thanks from Nuggets Nation!!
I’m glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the love!
Superb documentary. Just what I have been looking for. It's good to see what Nick Wright had to say about Jokic prior to him winning a championship. He tries now to whitewash it by saying I just needed to see him win a chip. I'm sorry dude, you repeatedly criticized him in the most savage fashion you could imagine, when you didn't hold others (read: Embiid) to the same standard of "I'm gonna trash him like there's no tomorrow until he wins a championship." There's no coming back from that. We know who you are.
Yessir. Recites.
I am a lifelong Bulls fan. My team is lost in the NBA wilderness. As someone who absolutely loves this league I've needed to find things that keep me engaged outside of reliving the Jordan era on TH-cam. This Nuggets team and Jokic really made this an enjoyable season. The style of ball they play is egalitarian and aesthetically pleasing and their players, Jokic in particular are super likeable.
Honestly the discussion around this team all year has baffled me. An alarming percentage of NBA media was under the impression that this team was an imposter, that they would somehow be exposed in the playoffs. I struggle to understand the basis for this opinion. We've seen imposters before. Recent iterations of the 76ers jump rapidly to mind. I feel like people who absorb the league like oxygen understood that this team should have been the odds on title favorites at the start of the playoffs. I guess there's no accounting for taste. I also love Jokic's demeanor. He doesn't need to tell everyone how hard a worker he is and how much he cares about winning. He just goes out and plays with a skill level that is up there with the all-time greats. I hope this team stays relevant for a long time to come.
God bless you, kind sir!! Chicago has many Serbians living there, I am sure you have a lot people who love both Bulls and Nuggets...
@@daveasmer3353 you are correct, Chicago has a thriving Serbian community.
I’m from Chicago, grew up during the Jordan era and made it through the 2000s with Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler, etc. The franchise got fun again with Derrick Rose, but that died when they blew up the team in the mid 2010s. The last few years of the bulls have been unwatchable in my opinion. But I moved to Denver in 2016 and have been a Nuggets fan ever since. It’s good to have a soft spot for your original team, but it’s awesome rooting for this nuggets team. They just play an amazing brand of basketball, so enjoyable to watch and fun to cheer for. If they can stay healthy they will win several more championships in the next 5 years. Get on the bandwagon!
Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of men. I have been a Nuggets fan since the Doug Moe era. In a league that promotes division and me, me, me mentality and stars jump ship every year to create big 3's and or super teams with no loyalty to their fans seeing a true team, a humble team of truly invested players fighting for each other has been an absolute joy to watch.
Having been at game 1 of the Finals, this recreation was able to put me back in the game better than just watching the game. The editing here in terms of the team research and the generation of emotion really encapsulates the feeling there was to be there. To watch this game in person and realize that this team could finally do it.
This video should be watched by every Nuggets fan
The whole team is so happy for Nikola: I can feel the love: Nikola, Murry, Aaron, Michael, Christain and all teammate Awesome And Awesome to NBA HOOP W/TJ
brucey b was such a huge part of this chip, i think losing him this off season is going to really sting, he brought something special to this team, just a junkyard dog slasher and rim punisher who wasn't ever afraid of the moment and was honestly one of our best defenders. so many timely plays, if he wants another ring he'll come back but id understand if he went for the bag.
Him and braun had a great finals series
Bruce was great in playoffs but during the season he was up and down, had good games and then had games he was a non factor. Glad he got his money but nuggets will be fine. They just drafted some dogs and Pwat is a longer Bruce Brown on offense
We still have Christian Braun, he will just get more minutes.
18:45 i like how the narrative in the beginning of the season was "there's great competition around them" and by the end of their run, it turned into "they had no competition" hahah, classic narrative switches on the nuggets
Crazy likable team. Glad they finally made it to the top.
I’ve always like Mike Malone but love him more after watching this he’s a key part to these guys you can tell he’s got everybody’s back in that locker room
Fantastic video! Ill admit it made me emotional. Very emotional yesr.
Jamal crying made me cry like a baby
Following this team and finally getting to see them win a championship after nobody but nuggets fans thought it could be done has been one of the best experiences and feelings ever. This movie recaps it all, Thank You
I'm a die hard nuggets fan here... and I love that this video captured the struggle and the journey of these men. Its an inspiring story and one that didn't really get nationwide attention. This is a team that the NBA needed to win in my opinion. The media and mainstream fans have lost their way with the idolization of Diva's in the league. Yes, this is professional basketball, where egos run wild just like any other professional sport. Without ego you're not going to be successful, but this nuggets team has somehow maintained some humbleness and commitment to one another in a league full of selfishness. Honestly i was pumped about Melo's Nuggets making it to the Western Conference finals and would have been cheering them on in the finals if Kobe didnt exist.... BUT, I am so much more appreciative of the fact that this team won and the Melo nuggets didnt. Great run and i really do hope to see this team run it back......
Side not: Bam..... That's a bad man. What a player, he deserves success as well
I'm in Australia and I have been following the nuggets since i saw Jokic doing his thing. They are great and you did a very good job showing this
I’m so grateful I got to witness greatness ! Nugget Nation 🎉❤
Nothing worthy of remembrance comes easy and journey matters more then destination. Many thanks from Serbia for making such wonderful mini-movie.
What a video bro, I wanna comment to be a part of the history here. Great job. Meticulous work. Go Denver!
I am blown away. This is the best video on the Nuggets climb and triumph I've seen. (I'd have liked something on the 2022 series against the Champs, but the cut is indeed funny.) Really incredible work - getting and editing all these clips together. So well done. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon it, 10 days later. Thank you.
I appreciate the love & I’m glad you enjoyed!
It’s so satisfying to see nearly every member of the media prove themselves to be 🤡s the more the video progresses. From someone who doesn’t typically follow the Nuggets (though rest assured, I will be from now on), congrats y’all! 🎉
Especially Nick Wrong
Hoping for a repeat next year. GO Nuggetz!
Fantastic video covering the Nuggets and their journey for the past several years. I still can't believe we won the championship. Thank you for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed!
My dad took me to my first Nuggets game in 1993. They played the Suns and got destroyed but I was an instant fan. They'd always get close but falter. Then this year happened and it still doesn't feel real.
DENVER NUGGETS HAVE WON A TITLE 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE MISSON HAS BEEN COMPETED FOR THE MOUNTAIN WEST CHAMPS
I hope I get to watch a video like this covering Luka and the Mavs one day. This is my second favorite team to watch because of their story and the narratives that they created about the Nuggets. Beautiful basketball was played by them. Congrats to the Nuggets 🎉 they deserved it!
“My thoughts are on Jamal Murray right now” Malone is what every coach should strive to be
This right here is a piece of history. Thank you for the effort.
100%! I’m glad you enjoyed!
True genius is displayed in its simplicity this is how jokic is
That was the absolute best way to end that video. Basically shutting all those haters up.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This was the same mantra of the back to back champions Houston Rockets of 94-95 and those San Antonio Spurs who won 5 titles. Coincidentally, those teams were led by humble and low profile superstars in Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan. I can see a lot of it on this Denver Nuggets team.
Fax...Joker is by far my favorite player ever, but Hakeem will always be best center ever by far imho....Duncan and Spurs are in league of their own, Timmy could have gone 6 for 6 in the finals like Mj, if Ray Allen didn't save Miami....Anyways i 100% agree with you Sir....Greetings from Serbia
Bravo let's go Denver Nuggets 👏🏀🔥
Winning the championship was sweet, but this series with the Lakers just hit different
It was great for a number of reasons. First, they beat us in the bubble pretty bad. So this was sort of like a revenge series. Second, it was like passing the torch of greatness from LeBron to jokic. One superstar on his way down and one on his way up. Just a cool moment in basketball. Third, the amount of shit talking from lakers fans. Sweeping them was the absolute best thing that could’ve happened lol
@@gnomechomsky2524 yea brotha you got it right. When I said “it just hit different” I was saying it felt good after everything that happened before that
@@gnomechomsky2524 it’s just American slang, and depending on the part of the Country means literally nothing!
@@gnomechomsky2524 now that you have context, my very 1st statement was conveying beating the Heat in the finals was awesome, SWEEPING the lakers tho was just different…make sense now?
The Lakers series the Nuggets played their best basketball, with some insane 3 pointers from Joker, multiple huge performances from Murray, Lebron fumbling the ball and making costly mistakes. Once I watched them dominate the Lakers I knew no one was stopping this team.
I’m not even done with the video yet and it put me to tears already. Magnificent work with this video my friend. Completely encapsulates the feeling of winning and all the losses before…
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Awesome video! Represented the timeline & narrative perfectly. We all knew since the bubble that this would happen. Those 3-1 comebacks gave them that unstoppable mentality. NUGGETS ARE CHAMPIONS 🏆 They brought it home ⛏️⛏️🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations to the Nugs. They had a tough journey. Michael Porter with back issues and wondering if he will ever blossom. Jamal Murray blowing out his ACL and they were questions if he would ever recapture the dynamic Bubble Murray mojo . Joker left in the dust and some people giving up on him. Jeff Green, Deandre Jordan, Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown, Thomas Bryant were on choking/trash teams. Mike Malone finally found coached a bunch of hungry dogs after being on the disaster in Sacramento. Denver put tape on our mouths and shut the doubters up. Nugs finally found their gold in the mine and they reach glory.
Just wanted to let you know that I've come back to this video 3 times already and watched through the whole thing. Amazing tribute for my favorite team of all time!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy!
Mad respect for this Video 💯🙌🏻
Cheers from Serbia 🍻
Thank you for making this master piece ! Nuggets have become what they are throughout a lot of tough learning but also tons of faith and hard work!
This is one of my favourite videos I’ve ever watched, what a tribute, thank you so much
Thanks for the love! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Nuggets hard work, and sacrifices are finally paid off.. i love this video. Thank you for this.
What a pleasure to watch. Thank you very much for this.
Really well done. Thanks for this!
At start of season i don't think Nuggets even cracked top 10 championship odds so getting there as underdogs is pretty amazing
I'm a fan and I follow them. If they are healthy they would win it all. And they did... life is good.
The editing on this content is impeccable. Much appreciated.
REPEAT!
TJ, you do great work. I'm not the biggest basketball fan, but I love watching videos that encapsulate the action, media coverage, attitude of the coach & players, etc and is professionally edited. I'm subscribing because you produce top level content. Cheers from Pittsburgh 🌉
Thank you so much!
Great video I think putting some of the commentary about the fouls trouble the Nuggets survived on the WCF and the Finals could add some of the dramatic feel.
That game 2 miami win was a fix. They got 8 questionable 4th qtr calls in a row from refs to turn a deficit into a lead.
This is AMAZING. Thank you.
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Nice to relive. Great!
Is this the best movie ever made? Hard to say. Maybe just the best sports documentary ever. Incredible work.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
Thank you for this piece of art!
Glad you enjoyed!
the Lakers found something in that 4th quarter 😂
Unbelievably well done video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a 40+ year Nuggets fan, thank you so much for this excellent film tribute to the Denver Nuggets 2022-23 championship season. This footage, both video and audio, is very well done and thoroughly enjoyable. It's a treasure for all NBA fans and especially for Nuggets Nation!
I appreciate the love! Glad you enjoyed!

Beautiful video. Very well made. Kudos.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Well done 👏 Go Nuggets
18:15 That made me tear up a bit.
Perk and Nick are clowns
Probably the 2 stupidest analyst today, but that is their job, getting paid even for speaking stupid and nonsense
And Max Kellerman and Skip Bayless.
LeTrash is a clown too 💯
BRAVO NEGETSI ❤🎉
Epic video. Great work man.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Really excellent work, very impressive. Kudos!
Thank you very much!
It s like a movie. When evrything is against you and you keep going and win..Man oo Man..Best regards from Serbia!!!❤
Bro I appreciate the hours and days u spent making this shit. that shit was unbelievable. just finished it and at the end my whole body had goosebumps. especially cuz everything Jamal went thru
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Denver native here.. loved the vid got my sub
Thank you so much!
crazy how everyone was talking about "lakers, clippers, warriors, portland, houston" for 2021. Houston and gsw missed the playoffs, lakers were 1st round exits, denver beat portland without their starting backcourt. At least lac made the wcf tho
This whole video fire. Reminds me of the old 90s championship videos. 💯💪🏿
This needs to be published out in 4k and bluray physical disc form.
Ahahaha I appreciate the love! That means a lot!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. AMAZING WORK!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Video was done so well, watched every minute! We runnin this sh!t back!
Thank you!
It was such a long journey but we finally did it. For as long as I’ve been a nuggets fan we’ve always been underdogs. Feels so good to prove everyone wrong. Great work on this video
Thank you!
Denver basketball is beautiful
