- This week's episode is a year-end mailbag and we're psyched to share it. There's stuff on the draft, free agency and next season. It's great. In this clip, JJ goes off on the Chris Mannix take that says Nikola Jokic and The Denver Nuggets didn't go on a great run because he didn't play The Celtics or The 76ers or The Bucks. That he only played The Lakers, Suns and Heat.

Your Celtics argument could literally be used against your warriors argument.
Chris is a hater if Jokic embarrassed the team whom beat the Bucks, the C's they got beat by a far better team it was the Nuggets turn
Joker was like Caesar from the Planet of the Apes trilogy dude was a monster
@@NikolaJokerMVP15 EMBIID IS BEST 76ER AINCE IVERSON. REDICK CHOKE VS KAWHI AND TORONTO. THATS WHY HE NOT IN NBA HE CANT SHOOT WHEN MOST MATTER TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR EMBIID.
@@StarWars_Theories NO HE WASNT, AARON GORDON WAS MOST VALUABLE IN TEAM. OBVIOUSLY DERANGED PPL SEES ONLY OFFENSE.
JJ Reddick being this fired up makes me smile.
Like number 69 here
Idk what u watchin but JJ is always fired up 😂
Lunatic
Being fired up while being wrong with stats about the all defense and dpoty opponents. 2011 Mavs faced more
Props to you JJ for defending the Nuggets. I appreciate you always being real and not bending to what the media wants to market.
Lmao he voted Jokic 3rd for MVP though, he’s part of the problem.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx and? I got the same mentality of Jokic; we not in it for the season awards. We want the titles. Who cares?
@@Neoghost00 it’s not about you having the same mentality, it’s about you saying how JJ is “being real” and “not bending to what the media wants to market”....but homie did the opposite of that.
Jokic led the league in every advanced stat but one yet was voted 3rd by the guy who’s “real” lmao. He’s another klutch client and did exactly what Perk/Windhorst/Dave McMenamin/Shams etc all did which was not have Jokic win MVP bc if he did he’d be closer to their boy LBJ.
He’s part of the problem.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx Not true. Did he agree with the majority at the time? Yes. Did he later change his view and admit Jokic is better? Yes. That’s the difference. To say he’s like every other person yet not acknowledge that he changed his mind and admitted it is the difference between him and others. That’s being real rather than acting like others do and saying the opposite.
@@Neoghost00 it is true, he literally had Jokic at 3. The majority meaning the rest of the klutch clients? Absolutely. They all had him at 3 bc that was their intentions. Had he won he would’ve been closer to LBJ’s MVP’s. It’s not surprising that majority of those who had him there were klutch affiliated.
He only acted “real” when the MVP was announced. If he were real and not biased he would’ve had Jokic at 1, bc even an average fan would’ve looked at his stats and chose Jokic. He’s part of the problem •shrugs•
It is so ridiculous that so many "analysts" try to discount this run by Denver and Jokic's performance. I'm not a denver fan by any stretch, but I respect what this team has done and the greatness they put on display.
They do it every year to every team Buddy
It’s called racial jealousy. This is why you see nothing but brothers going for white women. They all secretly wish they were a guy like Jokić. Instead of embracing who they are and just having class and admitting that another guy is better.
@@562LA2THEBAY no they don’t. People give Curry his flowers. I am a Cavs fan and plenty of Cavs fans where I live have grown to respect Curry. Even so much as loving to watch him play
Yes they do. Curry got flamed. Boy got 4 rings and 1 mvp from them... Man lost klay and couldnt drag them to the finals... Bron drags bums why cant curry? They dissed brons bubble ring... Everybody gets it... Imagine if bron beat 3 play-in teams...skip bayless would discredit it before the next day... They have nothing else to talk about bro. They gotta do this bs... Wait til the draft n trades n free agency...theyll have more bs to say
So I’m a warriors fan and I respect the run but I think it was a better run for joker more so than the team considering the lack of competition they were up against
People said the Nuggets were underdogs against the Suns and Lakers, but now that the Nuggets have won the championship, people called their opponents "weak competition".
EVERY TIME!!!
"Spurs are trash nobodies.... Of course they won, they had 3 Hall of Famers"
😂🤦🏾♂️
I respect their run but they were not underdogs to the Lakers or the Suns. It was definitely a great story they just had tho. There’s also a good chance they repeat
Lies…. Suns we’re favored over the Nuggets, not the Lakers. Do your research
They were underdogs against Phoenix and LA. Get your facts straight before you post. Smh
When the lakers went 15-1 was their run too easy, when the Warriors went 16-1 was theirs easy. No, anybody with common sense is not gonna say those were easy runs. These teams were just that much better than the competition and handled their business as they should have. We don’t undermine Shaq’s dominance in the playoffs so let’s not start this with Jokic
Anyone smarter than a rock should know playoff NBA basketball isn't easy at all, sadly a lot of people lack common sense
Those are just Embiid and Giannis fans looking for any slim straws to undermine Jokic
@@Mixer2904nah a lot of Giannis fans are happy for Joker
European connection and they're the 2 most positive and wholesome faces of the league
Both did it the right away without buddy buddy bs with other superstars friends
The Lakers run was incredibly dominant. Nuggets were by far better than the competition. I don't get into stats because stats these days are inflated because of the rules changes favoring scorers. But again the nuggets were just a lot better than everyone.
@@Mixer2904 I haven't seen any Giannis fans trash talk him, two of my friends are Bucks fans and they're respecting Jokic. Embiid fans, on the other hand...
Denver was the best team this year hands down... People need to stop trying to discredit them. I'm a Miami Heat fan and I give them full credit... Miami threw everything at them and they took it and won... Miami left it all on the floor in game 5 and it still wasn't enough. I still believe that if Miami could have forced a game 6 at home maybe the series could have gone 7 but I don't know if the outcome would have been different.... Denver was on another level this year.
Denver respects the Miami Heat, you all showed out and beat some amazing teams to get to the finals. Go get Dame this offseason and we'll see you again next year!
Not to mention they swept the lakers, the team those same analysts picked to win the series, it’s a combination of butt hurt lebron fans and people that jumped on the Jimmy bandwagon and got let down
@Marshall Beck No way did Jimmy Buckets let me down. The Heat simply lost to a better team with arguably the most impact full player on the planet.
Jimmy is a class act. Leads his team...plays with heart on both ends...great at crunch time.
@@chrismiller1183 Jimmy deserves to win a championship. I hope he will get some help.
They weren’t better than a healthy bucks team bro I’m sorry
Chris Mannix loses all credibility because he literally picked not only the suns to beat Denver but the Lakers too. And maybe the the Bucks and the Celtics shouldn’t lose to an 8th seed and they would have gotten their shot at Denver
Never change JJ. By far my favorite basketball analyst to listen to
By far the most knowledgeable person talking basketball. He is well spoken, smart and no bs kinda person.
@@nikolic016 brate this guy voted Jokic 3rd for mvp. He’s also part of the problem. JJ can lick my Chevap
@@nikolic016 HE VOTED JOKIC THIRD NOW HE TRY TO BAIL.
@@nikolic016 Redick voted Jokic forth or third.
@@nikolic016 DUDE CALLED BIRD AND COUSY NOT GREAT 🤣😂 HE BOUGHT DIPLOMA
As a Heat fan, I can sit here and say just give Denver and Jokic their damn respect. They played phenomenal basketball all year, especially when it mattered most. 2023 NBA champions, get over it.
I think people also fail to mention how Jokic even faced competition against his position in the FIRST round . He was playing against KAT and Gobert, then the suns and the lakers. And are people now not going to consider Bam an elite big man? Joker went through some pretty good competition in the 4 and 5 spots
KAT and Gobert 😂😂😂😂😂KAT is a bum in the playoff and gobert is another bum.
Yeah, teams did everything they could. AD, Gobert and Bam all played terrific defense, but there's just nothing they could do and you can't double him. LA tried that by putting Rui on him and using AD as a free safety, but it worked for like a quarter and then fell apart.
I'm a wolves fan, beating the Wolves should not count as tough competition. Team was a mess for most of the year. Gobert's defense dropped to just a good but not great defender. Towns is trash defensively so I wouldn't even consider that competition at all. Bam Is solid, but he is too undersized to handle jokic. The only competition at his position worth mentioning is AD. With all that said, Jokic is the best player in the league. I'm not saying all this to discredit him. Just saying that he wasn't going up against anything special other than AD position-wise
The re-writing of history against the Nuggets is so stupid.
Before the playoffs KD and Booker are unstoppable duo but once they lose to the Nuggets the narrative is that they didn’t have a bench. Then the narrative is that there’s no way LeBron and AD lose to the Nuggets and once they get swept the haters say they beat a play in team. Then the haters say Miami is an 8 seed and beating them isn’t impressive even though they sent home the Celtics and this year’s MVP. The hate toward Jokic and the Nuggets is pathetic.
Yup exactly
Miami didn’t send Home Embiid but they sent home Bucks who are better than 76ers
@@roblockhart8410 my mistake, i forgot Philly wasn’t even good enough to advance to play the heat lol
Nailed it.
@@jackharrist1078 Philly only beat the decimated Nets. The Bucks beat nobody.
Feels like we repeat this every year. No matter who wins "They had an easy run" or "they didnt beat the best teams" or "they got lucky with injuries." Feels like this current society has made it where most people are just searching for a way to make everything negative.
It's just cope lmao
Its just 10x more egregious this time because they DID beat the best teams. They're acting like they werent 100% confident that the lakers or suns would win it all in the west. And theyre acting like the heat didnt put on the best performance in the east
Dont stress bout it buddy. Stupid people will always keep telling stupid things. Nothing you can do about it...
Exactly every championship has an asterisk. Every championship run takes hard work, dedication, talent and a bit of luck and good fortune.
The NBA world is lucky to have JJ. As someone who grew up with soccer and hockey im pretty ignorant to most basketball things and thats where JJ comes in. JJ and Inside the NBA are what brought me over.
Yea some real insight to the highest level of basketball the other "analysts" are just there for hot takes
I love people like Mannix.
He continually proves the complete irrelevance of MSM.
Mannix, please keep talking, we love it.
All you do is continually show that you dont care about the game, you only care about how many people will watch or listen to your absolutely ridiculous "takes" regardless of how far off the mark you are.
You are an a plus sell out, along with individuals like Perkins.
Your pay check and "clout" is more important than your integrity.
As a Championship coach once said "put it in your pipe and smoke it".
Appreciate both of you guys for always being true to yourselves and the game.
You are the real source for NBA fan's. ✌🏾
JJ Redick? The same man who voted Jokic 3rd for MVP....
@eazyduzit5150 he's allowed to vote how he wants.
Not voting for a player doesn't mean you're not honest.
It means you felt other players deserved it.
Not everyone is going to agree, and that's okay.
Do I agree with it? No.
I can see and understand that Jokic removing himself from the conversation because of the BS he was getting around it, making it easier for people to vote elsewhere though.
JJ was also the first person to pull Perkins up on his complete BS.
All that said, I appreciate consistency.
That's what JJ gives.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nxdenver took the foot off the pedal the last 15 games this season to rest up so i understand the mvp thing. Worst take jj ever had was that giannis wasnt a top 3 player in the league just a month after he dropped 50 in the finals. Had embiid ahead of giannis lol
@@hagzzzyou really like typing in the TH-cam comments section
That coach actually had a shirt with that at the parade-gotta love it.
people act as if jokic didnt beat kevin durant and lebron in the same finals run, the only reason the lakers and suns were low seeds is because they made major trades at the deadline so their overall record doesn’t reflect their team at the start of the playoffs
Correct. The Suns and Lakers were considered very dangerous until they were dispatched by the Nuggets.
Whether or not someone appreciates the greatness of Jokic is now my barometer for whether or not someone knows anything about the game of basketball.
Excellent point!
It goes beyond basketball. It calls in to question their intellect and capacity to critically think.
That's a pretty great litmus test
True. Or at least allows you to determine whether their personal interest or preference overrides knowledge of the game and players.
My biggest problem with “weakest” finals win debate is that it discounts the great accomplishment that the Heat did. Plus it shows that they don’t know how the tournament is set up. If that was true then all top seeds winning the chip were weak since they will always be higher ranked.
It is an attempt to warp the reality of what happened... the entire league is the "asterisk"... and Denver is simply that much better than the rest.
Didn't see a single team run an actual offense the entire playoffs... iso ball... rotating high screen & rolls... jack up contested 3s with 20+ seconds on the shot clock. Denver embarrassed everyone because everyone was massively inferior to a team that is well balanced and runs an actual offense.
The Nuggets went thru debatably HALF of the top 10 players in the league (KD, Booker, Lebron, AD, Butler).
Replace butler with Steph
@@itznayem8441 read the comment again
@@itznayem8441when did the nuggets play the warriors this postseason?
Karl Anthony Towns too. He changed the game 😂
AD is not a top ten player.
Tommy is a great cohost. This duo I contend is best podcasting duo in any genre, but specifically sports.
Chuck and Ernie on the steam room
The media (like Chris Mannix) are trying to minimize Jokic’s playoff run because they all got the Nuggets wrong with their predictions. The fact the casual sports didn’t know how great Jokic is a black eye on the media to begin with.
Chris Olivo...you make a great point!
THANK YOU! Have to admit that JJ becoming a vessel for Denver fans like myself this year has been a surprise, but I love it!!
Listening to Old Man and the Three is really a breath of fresh air as compared to other basketball media. The appreciate the game, highlight the nuances and in general make interesting and smart comments.
Worked with JJ for quite some time, hes a true professional…happy to see his channel doing well…
its insane, people like chris mannix really shouldnt be commenting on nba..
As a Laker fan, I hate that you mentioned that Golden State would've matched up better but I know you're right. We never totally got blown out, our defense kept us in some games. But we just don't have enough shooting, and the Warriors do. All possible respect goes to Denver, they were SO good in the playoffs.
Turn your Laker card in. Warriors were infamous for having poor defense. Was Draymond going to guard Joker? If chucking up threes didn’t work against us, how would it be any better against a team full of 6’9 athletic wings? D’Angelo Russel was cooking the Warriors, what do you thing Jamal Murray’s was going to do?
Don’t know how you don’t surround Lebron with shooters
@@chrisperez3614 The problem is that since LeBron has been in LA, a bunch of the shooters that have joined just straight up forget how to shoot it's absurd.
YOURE A LEGEND FOR THIS JJ! MUCH LOVE!
Newer follower of the channel. Love the insight and knowledge, so many good takes ! Thank you!!
JJ my dude and we appreciate you here in Denver bro! 💯
The nuggets have been lethal and were finally healthy. Plus their role players have improved a lot over the past few seasons, especially Porter Jr. Congratulations to Denver, this one was well deserved!
Denver. Best team in the regular season. Best team in the playoffs. Legendary run by Jokic, Murray & co. Haters talk cause they like the sound of their own voice way too much. You win a Chip in the NBA, you earned it.
Some media members just wanna say things for the sake of being "that guy". Because it's "cool" to give hot takes.
Thank you so much for saying this. Every time they bring up these other teams, all I can think is "The teams you are down on are the ones that beat the ones you are saying would make it a better run"
Your colleagues are willing to debase themselves to have the hot take / bring down the nuggets whichever is their motivation.
I've always liked JJ as a great smart player and now I like his smarts as an analyst. Mad respect 👍
Been watching JJ stuff for a while now. He's always delivering the real goods, not that other mainstream BS other NBA commentators do
Came for a great take on the Nuggets, and got a tasty analysis on what my Bucks should do this coming season. I personally have no clue what their plan is but I'm absolutely on board with running it back
Thank you JJ for clarifying lots of stuff going on around Joker and his historic run!
Quality podcast. Talking about basketball for real.
Thank you guys for much needed common sense and always great analysis
Easiest run 😂 what are these guys smoking. Its just bc denver dominated teams and made it look easy
Yeah they cappin
Im not sayin its the hardest run cuz iz aint but its a solid run
Hey he beat kd,ad and lebrick
Lakers lost by like 25 points in the entire series
And he played KD and booker, it’s just ridiculous how fast people are to discredit someone if it isn’t their fav
@@NikolaJokerMVP15 also it makes everyone realize how weird (and unsustainable) were those Devin Booker historic shooting games versus the Nuggets 😂
This nuggets had the easiest run is dumb asf and I’m most definitely not a Denver fan lol I’m a Nets fan.
Congratulations on your Championship Denver! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Thank you for the truth JJ 🙏
The craziest thing for me about Denver's run was that they won 75% of their games. In the playoffs
THANK YOU
wow i 💯 % agree with jjs rant over the nuggets run
usually i tell ppl to do better but you just did👍
JJ being JJ even when he says something dumb he owns it so I respect that even when he's wrong especially when he's right.
jj being the voice of reason once again
I agree with JJ the warriors would’ve been a tougher matchup for the nuggets especially if hypothetically they had matched up in the first round
Would have been the biggest challenge for denver. And Denver would have wanted the warriors too. Beating warriors first round, suns second round, and lakers in conference would have been a full circle moment overcoming the 3 teams the nuggets lost to since the bubble.
I mean, Denver's losses thru this playoffs were mostly due to hot perimeter shooting from Miami and Phoenix, and everyone knows the Warriors are the premiere perimeter oriented team. Denver would still win, but a hypothetical matchup would've gone 6 because Steph Curry will always get you at least one. (GSW fan here)
Milwaukee’s shooting is fine. It was the same as 21-22. It was a little worse than 20-21. The big difference for their offense was:
1) Middleton wasn’t Middleton and shot 31% not 41% from three
2) Giannis couldn’t make anything outside 3 feet, including FT. It was *BAD*
3) Other teams caught up
Giannis went from bring +8, +5, +6, +7 vs league average TS to +2. Khris from +5, +2, +1, -3
Just hard to have a good offense when your top three are league average efficiency. It’s not even about the supporting players at that point. Your stars have to drive your offense, not Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles and Grayson Allen and Bobby Portis
One more thing, Mike, Kevin Love sliding charge injured Giannis, which altered the series. Giannis basically missed 3 games in the series. He was not the same player.
As a Warriors fan even though we lost to the Lakers the only team that I didn’t want to play was the Nuggets
JJ & Kevin Wildes the only ones that been real about hoops & the nuggets all year & playoffs
People do it for the controversy
I get that they played lower seeds than most teams that win it but they also absolutely shredded those teams and you play who you play. Its the first non-Warriors team in a really long time to dominate every matchup they had of course it’s a super impressive all time run
You don't get extra credit for doing what you should have done. You dominated lower teams. That don't impress me much.
Good to see someone talks for the love of the game just about the game not like the mainstream sports media they are horrible virtue signalling. WE JUST WANT TO ENJOY SPORTS and thanks to you guys we can
Thank you JJ
Even though the Heat were the 8th seed, they have been in the finals 2 of the last 4 years
And this Nuggets team is the most complete team right now
The new nba media is so refreshing. It’s nice to hear from people who ACTUALLY know ball because they played it at the highest level
JJ, you're my hero!
Thank you jj
Good stuff. Also, I like the GCCC hat.
THE ANGRY SOUND @ 2:43
🤣🤣💀💀
As a lifelong Nuggets and Blue Devils fan this makes me very happy
So happy to see a sports analyst with guts to speak his mind.
Guts. What if you didn't agree with his take. What If he went against the Jokic hype machine. Now that would be guts. He put his finger up to the wind and went with the flow even if it was all hype.
Thank you there is a voice out there that understands basketball my god lol
I do love when Tommy pokes a bad take towards JJ to get a reaction from him. Such a great hosting team
At this point I'm questioning if any championship is legit or not. The last how many years there's some kind of an excuse as to why a team's run doesn't count.
It is stupidly easy to make an asterisk for almost any championship ever.
2022? Warriors beat young or injured teams.
2021? Bucks beat an injured NBA.
2020? Bubble Ring and Clippers choked.
2019? Warriors got hurt. (A bit of an argument there)
2018? Superteam
2017? Superteam
The list can go on and on.
Didn’t know the stats at 1:49 about going against defensive players and all stars. This is why I come to JJ.
JJ is an all-star as a Podcaster. He speaks his mind not some bs that a sports corporation has laid out for him.
@@chrismiller1183 he speaks his mind but he comes prepared with data to back it up which is what I personally love most.
@lkjhlkjhlhbn,mnb Right...I forgot to say, "he speaks from a full mind".
Unlike, Perkins and Steven A., who think how loud you can yell is a sign of intelligence.
Your take on JJ is right on.
Thank you JJ. Some people need to be educated
GET EM JJ GET EM!!!!
what is this cap, which jj is wearing? looks super nice with the cordel on the cap
I always picked Denver! Now they are world champs.
I also think that Warriors been tougher matchup for the Nuggets but i think also that Nuggets will prevail.
JJ is one of the good ones in the media he cares about the game not the drama
Tommy is great at his job 👏
Get ‘em JJ!!
Joker really needs to come on your podcast for everything you did so far defending him.
As a Celtics fan, we would’ve lost in 5. No one was stopping the Jokic Murray combo. Jokic will end his career with multiple chips and the most triple doubles of all time without question.
JJ brought up something that I just think shows how crazy sports media members are: Almost EVERY media person outside of Denver, CO wouldn’t stop talking about how either the Lakers or Warriors were the favorites in the West. JJ might be one of the only big media personalities who legit still felt Denver was the team to beat. I can’t blame him for being mad, because it would drive me insane to be apart of a group of people who move the goal post so much. It was “oh nah Bron back, the Lakers winning it ALL” a month ago, NOW they were “just” a 7 seed 😂😂😂
LB should retire before he really embarrasses himself; oh wait...too late...TACOS anyone?
Everybody was even picking the Lakers to win against Denver and that Lebron would be winning his 5th ring. And when they got swept, it's like, "Lebron is retiring," "It was a close series," etc. Dude! How can it be close when you got swept!!!
@@agentbrandt lots of folks drunk on LBJ Kool Aid
JJ is a man of culture
If anybody thinks Jokic wasn't challenged, KAT, Gobert, Ayton, AD and Bam were all consensus top 10 centers just a year ago. They might all still be that, depending on how you look at KAT and Ayton now, but that's a pretty strong lineup of centers to have to go through in a championship run. Add to that Anthony Edwards, KD, Booker, Lebron and Jimmy, and it shows you how crazy trying to put an asterisk is just based on seeding.
I am glad to hear someone has a brain in the media space.
Thats whats so great about Joker. If someone like Gobert is having a great defensive game and slowing him down, joker will just pass people open and still have great impact.
SPEAK THE TRUTH JJ!!!!!!!!!!!! SPEAK YO MIND BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro, that's how seeding works. The top seed get an "easier" road to the finals. It's by design. Are people that dumb? You telling me anytime a team that's not the 7 or 8 seed wins, it's not a good run?
JJ you re all time best analyst.
Tell it like it is JJ !!!
All I needed to know about Jokic, I saw in Anthony Davis's performances in the last 3 games of the WCF. The Lakers made it a point to attack Jokic, thinking he was a weak link in Denver's defense. Guess what? Game 2, Davis is 4 for 15 from the floor. Game 4, Davis is 6 for 15 from the floor. Game 3, Davis shoots well - 11 for 18 - but he's having a very hard time finding a shot to get off against Jokic, ESPECIALLY in the 4th quarter when he only makes 1 bucket in what was at that point a 2-point game.
Jokic isn't flashy, he doesn't go out of his way to put on a show - but he's tremendously, unstoppably skilled and he's been putting on all-time performances against all-time talent. And he remains humble through it all. Love the guy - he's a blessing to the sport, and he's somebody I want on TV when my family's got kids watching.
one big reason I watch JJ Prodcaster a lot is, this dude is really good looking and I'll believe whatever he says, is it just me?
jj i hope you guest in inside the nba cus i wanna see you discuss basketball with charles!
I give so much respect to JJ for calling people out on ridiculous takes. How can some of these guys in the media be given the platform they have to spit out such lunacy?
Their only ridiculous takes because you or him don't agree with them. Everybody is entitled to their opinions. It does not invalidate them because you don't share them.
@@globaljourneys225 Meh. If I said Marcus Smart was better than Michael Jordan, wouldn't it be a ridiculous take?
JJ's podcast is a must watch because it basically represents the majority of the fans' opinion.
Please don't go to coaching... We need your voice! You speak the TRUTH!!!
One thing i have learned through these playoffs. More JJ and Draymond and less talking heads on TV who have never picked up a basketball.
Any team that runs through the gauntlet of multiple 7 games series deserves respect. No one wins championships through luck.
I agree with the overall point but saying they faced 85 all star appearances isn't a good point, that just means they played a bunch of players past their prime
Great point fr
Agree w JJ's points, but also see why ppl say it's one of the weakest runs. For example, none of the teams that jokic/denver faced were on the level of the '15/'17/'18 warriors, '16 cavs, '14 spurs, or quite frankly any of prime lebron teams w the heat or cavs. But we'll never know how this denver team stacks up against them, and you can't take away anything they accomplished this year.
Not Denver’s fault 🤷♂️
Yeah, that's why season-long consistency is rewarding lol
JJ FOR PRESIDENT 💯💯💯
Thanks JJ for adding the word asinine to my vocabulary 😂
Tommy has grown nicely into his role as Scottie Pippen (when Pip and MJ were rolling, of course)
🔥
