big honey and the nuggets

What people say "best two-way player" what they most often mean is "best defender among guys who are good at offense." It's why you had people saying Klay was the best two-way SG when Harden was obviously a better player. "Best two-way player" is just... best player.

“two way player” is a casual term that should be retired

ehh i think denoting that a player is plus on both offense and defense is useful

most centers are plus on defense though, jokic no exception. thats why you put a big guy out there in the first place instead of playing 5 wings

Lisa Salters: “What does this trophy mean to you?”

Nikola Jokic: “Nothing.”

LOL @Lisa Salters saying she had never seen Jokic play before this year's playoffs.

I wish I could say that salters interview was more shocking, but it’s not

I grew up in Denver, I know it's a backwater, but c'mon.

tbf you cant even watch the nugs on tv in colorado

Nugs have had some rough unis.

the powder blue ones are good what happened to those. it really feels like some sort of sabotage is going on with uniforms across the league in general, every team only wears their most iconic colors like 1 game out of 10

it's almost as if marketing people don't really understand what fans identify with or liked in the first place hard to believe i know

I never liked the powder blue ones. I identified most with the old "Lego" design, but I really do like the "Mile High City" ones now.

More "rainbow" than "Lego," but I always see Lego in my mind.

man that highlight vid brought some memories. that was the bridge between the post-melo era and the jokic era

When Woody Paige was asked yesterday to name his all-time Nugget, he instantly named (not surprisingly) this man

(I thought the original jerseys had the prospector on them, but from this photo, which I think is from 1977, shows otherwise).

doing some research today

nurkics the ones whos got to go cause he looks like gallo and sounds like jokic if u remove him the confusion is alleviated

Denver looks pretty damn good to me. Jokic probably deserves to start, whether over Faried or Nurkic. And they're really pretty damn deep.

If Gallo somehow made it a full season they might flirt with the playoffs.

Who of the three nugs centers is emerging as the best?

Jokic, unless Nurkic had a great offseason skillwise

p sure thats just one guy jokic nurkic

first big jokic talk happens itt billionaire techbros club - 2016-17 NBA regular-ass season thread (the first of a series)

if the nuggets beat the heat in the finals, nikola jovic has to go back to euroland

wait so the nuggets have a jokic and a jurkic?

evil twin

I basically just watch Jokic now. The Jokic Basketball Association.

― Matt Armstrong, Friday, February 3, 2017 9:50 PM (six years ago)

i think picking up an undrafted jokic early in the 2016-17 season was my greatest ever fantasy hoops move b/c he immediately started averaging 16/10/5

ah well nevertheless

those jokic passing highlights are excellent

― call all destroyer, Thursday, February 25, 2016 10:28 PM (seven years ago) bookmarkflaglink

true

jokic is the fuckin man, mudiay has looked better, hopefully Gallo won't lose his prime to injuries, and the nuggs should have 3 first round picks next year, including the knicks pick, which looks better every day

― k3vin k., Friday, March 11, 2016 12:59 PM (seven years ago) bookmarkflaglink

one out of three aint bad

just got PTSD seeing mudiay's name

lol really one of the worst players

Asked Jokic how he felt after the game: "I hugged (coach). I was naked and I hugged him.

thx for posting spottie. jokic used to be fat!

― k3vin k., Thursday, February 9, 2017 10:12 AM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

not that there's anything wrong with that

in life no, in basketball yes

not finding any embarrassing anti joker posts, good job team, matt a does try to trade him at one point but tbf it was for an unnamed hypothetical star, and he was otherwise first on the joker bandwagon

guys can we talk about how i'm 100% all in on jokic being an MVP candidate in the near future

― k3vin k., Friday, February 10, 2017 11:02 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

be serious

the chance that jokic has a better career than melo is still small

― J0rdan S., Friday, February 10, 2017 11:08 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

smh

its weird that you guys wont let me celebrate how crazy this jokic season is

― lag∞n, Friday, February 10, 2017 11:43 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

so many haters

well matt is a nuggs fan who loves euro 7 footers who also was leaning nurkic earlier this season

― lag∞n, Friday, February 10, 2017 11:41 PM (one minute ago)

lmao i love matt but this is a very factual post

― k3vin k., Friday, February 10, 2017 11:43 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

theres a whole discussion on what type of second big would be best to pair with joker, the league has really changed

pretty funny lil pile on where matt tries to defend mason plumlee

the matt era of ILH was fun I wish they'd come back

rip big man enthusiast

I remember when their big man was Danny Schayes.

I had tickets to nuggets/lakers game 5, but I’m at a rockies game instead and bruce brown is sitting about 15 rows up from me. they just showed him on the jumbotron and now there’s a huge crowd of kids around him

Jokic is a genius.

He's absolutely exhausted, yet he still picks up on the fact that the sideline is signaling for a Pistol action (this variation is called "21 Keep").

He notifies his teammates, they are on top of it, and it leads to a back-breaking turnover for Miami. pic.twitter.com/hvRmshmRNV

I would have never noticed this during the game.
