aaron gordon is a very critical part of this team. jokic made him so much better too.

[@shmo8958]

He was always good enough .

[@fatwax3128]

[@pepehands3202]

@@fatwax3128 that's why he got better when he got in Denver. He was all offense in Orlando, barely can't shoot. His upgrade in skills & mindset are phenomenal. So he's not "always good enough" he became better

[@tafaofamily4819]

They both improved eachothers game.

[@captainobvious90]

I love that Isiah always try to bring the conversation into the journey, the work and the grind they have put through to get to where they are, for all the people to stay motivated. He must has missed those journey a lot.

[@JoeyTavares]

He knows that as an athlete this sport is our life we spend all day living and breathing the game

[@incredibledn]

fr, people gotta understand how hard these guys work to get to the championship

[@JohnnyBGood-vm7rx]

you can all blame leflop for that 😂😂

[@vlada]

Your post reminded me why Thomas loves Jokic so much. When Malika asked him if this win motivates for more, he said that the Journey is his motivation instead of the result. The thing you just talked about. I'm impressed by Isaiah, Jok and you.

[@debas3d]

Isiah is great in these interviews. Just pure love.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

I'm genuinely happy for Gordon, to play on a garbage team, then accepting a smaller role in a contender, being the stopper, playing in the post, etc.. just love the dude, he reminds me of the good days when the NBA featured real basketball. And even so, he plays physical and never fouls out in the no touch era, that's impressive by itself. Reads the offense like a point forward, but bumps and play bully ball like a power forward, I really like Gordon, one of my favorite players in the NBA today

[@user-sv2os1pb6j]

Me too. Joker don't care for game,so for me Gordon story is better.

[@razoo911]

@@user-sv2os1pb6jcome on how can you say something like that?? ok he he don't like to be under the light, but he light up when he talk about his teammates while he is unconfortable while he have to talk about himself, he dont like all drama and BS around NBA but joker care for the game or he wouldn't be a "regista" in that team, you can see he s happy when he help his teammates to play better and he is 2 time mvp and now champioship, he read the game and idk how many assist he made to gordon, a lot, they a really good duo

[@CalebShimomura]

Their starting 5 is really really good. Jokic and Murray with the two-man game, AG with the defense and hustle plays, MPJ with the 3s and slams, and KCP with the 3 and D. Really well-constructed. I don't think we'll see Bruce Brown return, but they'll be keeping Braun, and I think Jeff Green will want to run it back.

Isiah really preaching the journey and rightfully so to all the young kids out there that it takes time and takes sacrifice to get where all these NBA Champs are at. Takes years of dedication to get the chip. From a young age to high school to college/overseas to the NBA. Good job Isiah getting the guys to elaborate on the past struggles and success to become who they are today.

[@timothyn5607]

KCP, Bruce Brown, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray and Jokic are all seasoned players who were going to win a championship at some point. I'm glad they won tonight. Congrats on your NBA Championship and your title. Selflessness and willingness to work together to win is important. Team chemistry is important for winning games like these. Nuggets are also a different team from the past. NBA players have a journey by which they all have to go through and get to this point of maturity, confidence, and understanding what real work means to develop your game and shooting better. Congrats

[@adrijiyuda]

This is KCP’s second title. First real one though ;)

AG spilled the beans: Jokic is really 7'1 not 6'11. Google pictures of him next to Gobert and Embiid. It's only Embiid's hair that makes him look taller. Gobert can be seen to be exactly the same height. It doesn't detract from his greatness, but adds to the fact that the last 7'1 person throwing around assists like this was Wilt Chamberlain.
