By writing | Sport

If Nikola Jokic is already considered among the best players in history, it is not simply thanks to its MVP titles, it is also thanks to its ring. Michael Porter Jr. returned to this epic, with words that may cringe teeth in Colorado.

Nikola Jokic is now 30 years old, and as crazy as it may seem, he has still not played with the slightest All-Star. Yes, Russell Westbrook is a former MVP and a regular in the stars match, but he signed up with the Nuggets well after his bonus. Jamal Murray, who had the potential to become a reference in the league, never passed the long -awaited course, especially in the regular season.

However, despite the absence of a very high level lieutenant at the James Harden or LeBron James, the Serbian manages to make Denver a formidable candidate in playoffs. By its simple presence, he arouses fear among his opponents and there is no doubt that the clippers spent their rest week to set up an anti-joker plan.

Mpj talks about the title of nuggets

In the end, whatever the outcome in this title race, Nikola Jokic has the assurance of being in the pantheon of the League thanks to this ring won in 2023. Finally, it is still necessary that the NBA microcosm grants it. And it is not Michael's latest statement Jr. who will make this success prestigious…

I think the league is now so balanced, there are good teams everywhere. The year we are champions, we did not really face adversity during the playoffs. I want to say that the most difficult series was against Phoenix in the conference semi-final. And again, we won 4-2. Teams have built their workforce specially to beat us, such as the Timberwolves.

There are now a lot of good teams, and we are not yet used to facing them. We did not play the Lakers with LeBron and Luka on the ground. The Clippers have Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, we did not face them together. These playoffs will be different from the others and each series will be unique.

For Michael Porter Jr., if the nuggets were champions in 2023, it is also because the competition was low in the Western Conference and on the finals. He estimates the much more competitive league today, especially because teams are specially armed to drop them. We saw better to enhance a title.

Contrary to At certain legends, Nikola Jokic provided the essentials by winning a ring in 2023. But according to Michael Porter Jr., his teammate, she is not necessarily the most prestigious, since the route was simple.
