Such a likable team. Sticking by Murray through injury, giving Jokic his pieces, elevating squad players, bringing back slashers, changing what an elite center is defined as, defeating narratives. Nuggets are a fantastic team

my dad has watched the nuggets for over 50 years and watching this team finally win a title was the the happiest day in both of our lives

Nikola has made me fall back in love with basketball. A love that i have not felt since the Spurs revenge on the Heat. His game is so beautiful. From the unreal passing and even his down the court water polo type passes, to his shot selection and his amazing footwork, the man is a joy to watch and the players they have surrounded him with compliment his game perfectly. great video, as always, Dylan.

Imagine if this team was healthy from 2020-2022.... And the fact that there are people that still doubt this run and don't want to take this Nuggets team seriously, speaks volumes on how poor basketball media is.

dylan gotta be the most underrated NBA creator on YouTube easily

I remember the Lakers Vs. Nuggets 2023 Conference Finals matchup. In the other series, even against the Warriors, when the other teams would make 3s it was annoying to see the Laker's defense not try. Against the Nuggets I swear I never saw AD, Bron, or the rest of the Lakers try so hard on defense just for seemingly every shot perfectly swish. It was debilitating as a Bron fan, but it made me really respect the Nuggets for the basketball poetry I was watching.

When it’s all said and done, it won’t be melo’s #15 that ends up in the rafters. It will be the #15 of Nikola Jokic. Jokic has already done more for Denver than melo ever did or ever could’ve done

As a lifelong Denver fan going back to their first year in the ABA (56 years…yeah I’m an OG, now) this documentary was well done and spot-on. Every nuance was perfectly pointed out. I had the pleasure of meeting Jokić’s parents and brothers at Club Lexus at the Pepsi Center (now Ball Arena). They bond this family has is undeniable. Glad Murray overcame his injury and MPJ has come a long way. Coach Malone molded this team into something incredibly talented. I can die, now. The Nuggets finally won it all.

The fact that this team stuck it out, after the numerous takes that jokic wasn’t capable of playing defense and etc…
They got themselves a chip

[astray]

Ironically, many Nuggets fans including me know that despite the poor shooting, if it wasn't for MPJ's scoring contribution and defense in Game 5, especially in the first half, we don't win Game 5.

Nugs played exceptional hoops. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon, KCP, Christaun Braun, and the rest of the crew shined bright in the big moments of the playoffs. Mike Malone made the proper adjustments and brought confidence and toughness to win.

And still, AG doesn't get enough credit for what he does, even in a detailed video as this one.

Step 1: have Nikola Jokic
Step 2: give him the ball
Step 3:???
Step 4: profit

“at last the long wait is over, after 47 years” still get chills hearing it man. Born and raised in Denver, i’m only 21 but i’ve been a nuggets fan since before I can remember. So happy to see this team come together so well

[mfbobyle]

As a nuggets fan thanks for making this. Other NBA influencers don’t wanna dive into why the nuggets are so special

[hexigin]

This Nuggets Team is basically another incarnation of the Warriors journey. Doubted talent, no name players drafted in the 2nd round blooming to stars, using players that are given up on use there expertise for the depth of there team. Then theres making a play style viable which for the Nuggets is centered around Jokic's Passing while the Warriors are centered around Steph's shooting. Like it's nice to see teams like then develop to juggernauts of the league. Jokic and Giannis for me are the best big men archetype to have in today's league.

Another banger video, Dylan is a prime example of Quality over Quantity

Before my Dad died . He knew the Joker will be one of the greatest hoop player and he knew Denver will won cause its more of We and not I .. he said that is why it is called ‘Team’ cause greatness are never done by one person, it is done by a Team of people..

[zinoedeki]

dylan only has 1/10 of a million subs?

Get this man 1 million guys.

[gershomtan]

Jamal Murray is the x factor on that team. Dude is an assasin, the perfect running mate for joker.
