When Nikola Jokic stepped onto the courtroom for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Thunder, it marked his 839th career game (playoffs included) when he performed with out an energetic All-Star, All-NBA or All-Defensive participant.
Of the 5000+ gamers in NBA historical past, the Nuggets star stays the one one to play 700+ profession video games without such a teammate.
Even because the Nuggets continue to fail him, Jokic has maintained a optimistic disposition. Once they let Bruce Brown and Jeff Inexperienced stroll, he made light of the exits. Once they cheapened out on paying Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, he once more remained optimistic.
Final October, Kevin Garnett urged Jokic to talk out on how the Nuggets have taken him as a right and are not doing sufficient to maximise his prime. It seems Jokic has lastly heeded the recommendation.
After the Sport 7 loss, Jokic flat-out admitted the Nuggets roster is not ok to win a championship.
