Does Nikola Jokic Have Something To Prove?
The Denver Nuggets resume play tomorrow night and they have something to prove. This may be especially true of Nikola Jokic, who, for the first time in 3 years, may not be the undisputed best player in the world. The 2x MVP has faced backlash for his ALL STAR performance and MVP contenders and newcomers are challenging his throne. Jamal Murray also has something to prove. So what do the Nuggets have to do this week to get back on track? And what is at stake in the coming month? The DNVR Nuggets podcast team breaks it all down.

Letās go nuggets!!!
Crazy how fast the season went. I think we have the opportunity to peak at the perfect time if we can get healthy
This season is huge for Jokics legacy. Denver will always be a 50 win team but due to all the terrible contracts its the last chance at a Denver and.Jokic championship. 4 MVPs, 2 rings and 2 flnals MVPs puts him in the top 10 where if he stalls out now he was a championship center with great stats.
Is Vogt under age or over age?š
Of all the Nuggets coaches Iāve watched starting with Larry Brown. Doug Moe is the one I would most like to hang out at a bar with.. his sense of humor was always on display.. even while yelling at Billyā¦
I donāt love it
Crazy talk, how quickly people forgett.
The most clownish thing to me is that after a decade of watching who he is mares of all people still has not grasped that JokiÄ is not to be put into stereotypical American sport star boxes.
Oh JokiÄ legacy is on the line because you felt something while watching the all star game?..ok, lol.
I allready see how unthankfull and awfull jokics decline is going to be when this are his main supporters, all it took was an injury and couple shaky games.
I dunno….Jok looks kinda strange to me. He behaves like he is on a maximal "not giving a shit" Level, highest ever. And it's contagious for younger Guys, they obviously don't play on same effort-level since he's back. Almost like it's inevitable through some subconscious Energy, they don't want it but simply can't help themselves. Is Jok secretly fed by basketball, after ten Years..? His Belly is massive, I can't see a way back from that, frankly. Not at his Age. Did somebody put a black Pill in my Drink?
He coined that phrase "stiff" describing Issel.
With supporters like this who needs enemiesā¦ no, he doesnāt need to prove anything to anyone. Very disappointing.
Damn, DNVR hires teenagers now?
You guys so pessimistic about the team and yokic.
Jokic have nothing to prove to you or any other fan in Denver, if you don't like how he is playing we in Serbia will be happy for him to join Luka in LA. Or Yanis in Milwaukee, or some big market team.
All of you who need Jok to prove something to you, and all of you who wants him to give more just, remember who is caring your team on his back last 10 years, who gave you first MVP, first ring and many others first. We who supports Jokic over Dr never we will be happy with him living your frozen forgotten city. So stop judging him.
No cause they haven't caught up to what he already done
