[@ivanpetrovic3727]

I've been following Denver since Jokic came to them, I'm Serbian, so it's logical. I've always liked Murray a lot, the energy he brings to the team is incredible. But Gordon is what binds this team together. It's just incredible in this day and age that he has so many stars on one team who are selfless and put the team before themselves!Denver's basketball looks more like European basketball to me than any other team in the NBA!I came for Jokic but I fell in love with Denver's basketball.

[@d2klssnsprecher579]

It was this energy they brought from day one this season, how they playing and building for the title

[@thatonedude7667]

I’m an American, and I’ll tell you that I love Nikola Jokic. All people should pay attention to the way he plays the game and strive to carry this into our everyday life’s. He is selfless, his passion, his demeanor, determination I mean this is a list that could go on for a while. It is so disrespectful and a shame the way the media disregards the once in a lifetime greatness that is Nikola Jokic. As a black man I will be so happy when those who have shamed an entire race for past generations and a very small percentage remaining of things in which we now are doing the same to them, it’s a damn shame. Our people who fought for race to be as irrelevant as the color of your eyes and that it’s us nothing but melanin, they would be ashamed to see that if black people were given the same choices as those they fought to put a stop to, we would have been no better. I’m sorry that the greatness of Nikola is being wasted the way it is, if his melanin was slightly different it would be so much different. Hopefully people will eventually pay attention to what he could stand for and we do better.

[@finaldestination5847]

Nikola Jokic is the only reason why I started to watch Basketball again since the Michael Jordan days. Neither Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Steph or KD could convince me to do so !!

[@RomnysGonzalez]

I cried so many times watching this video. We went through so much. Jokic being slander and diminished all his success and accomplishments. Jamal injury, MPJ injury. Everyone attacking the Nuggets for literally everything. Jokic being hated by the media. They attacked Jokic restlessly for losing in the playoffs. I never saw Curry winning without Klay and Draymond. Never saw Giannis winning without Jrue or Middleton, Never saw LeBron winning without Irving/Wade KLove/Bosh or AD. Never saw Tim Duncan win without Manu or Parker. Compare to other players who always got their sidekicks right to be help end and yet kept failing. Neither of them received as much slander and hate like Jokic got We as a franchise we really went through so much pain and we finally did it. WE ARE THE NBA CHAMPIONS AT LAST. After almost 50 years of waiting we finally did it. I still cry remember Jamal once the game was over.

[@oldmansportsog2514]

And I'll add the year jokic won first MVP warriors and national media was talking Steph is MVP cuz without Dray and Klay he made the play in game, historical is what they said and next year Jokic made playoffs without his two best teammates. And wtf wrong with people crying over someone winning a championship, is this country this damn soft these days?

[@SteingrimFreepony]

Actually Tim won his first title without Manu and Parker. There was 33 years old David Robinson though.

[@NationOfChalcol]

I appreciate you doing your homework on this Nuggets team. This run truly is the first installment of the Nuggets movie

[@SandraSvetlanaSantiago]

I love that players and everyone around them in Denver Nuggets function as big, loving, supportive family- keep that spirit!

[@marinusart]

And still so humble (Jokic). His humbleness is actually WISDOM! Because, it`s not all about yourself - it`s about the collective. That is what he tries to teach. He should be an example for future generations.

[@11fasteddie]

Nuggets & Jokic just doen't get old,,, look out world, NBA, Nuggets & Jokic are here.

[@davidbarragan7440]

Wow... this video brought me to tears. You captured the feeling, narrative and storyline us Nuggets fans have been through these past few years. Thank you...

KZbin video about basketball brings you to tears, grown man acting like a little ass boy stop taking sports so serious bro it’s a child’s game

[@johndonny443]

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of men. I have been a Nuggets fan since the Doug Moe era. In a league that promotes division and me, me, me mentality and stars jump ship every year to create big 3's and or super teams with no loyalty to their fans seeing a true team, a humble team of truly invested players fighting for each other has been an absolute joy to watch.

[@HopeandPeace4]

The whole team is so happy for Nikola: I can feel the love: Nikola, Murry, Aaron, Michael, Christain and all teammate Awesome And Awesome to NBA HOOP W/TJ

[@Bewbscueser]

I am a lifelong Bulls fan. My team is lost in the NBA wilderness. As someone who absolutely loves this league I've needed to find things that keep me engaged outside of reliving the Jordan era on KZbin. This Nuggets team and Jokic really made this an enjoyable season. The style of ball they play is egalitarian and aesthetically pleasing and their players, Jokic in particular are super likeable. Honestly the discussion around this team all year has baffled me. An alarming percentage of NBA media was under the impression that this team was an imposter, that they would somehow be exposed in the playoffs. I struggle to understand the basis for this opinion. We've seen imposters before. Recent iterations of the 76ers jump rapidly to mind. I feel like people who absorb the league like oxygen understood that this team should have been the odds on title favorites at the start of the playoffs. I guess there's no accounting for taste. I also love Jokic's demeanor. He doesn't need to tell everyone how hard a worker he is and how much he cares about winning. He just goes out and plays with a skill level that is up there with the all-time greats. I hope this team stays relevant for a long time to come.

[@daveasmer3353]

God bless you, kind sir!! Chicago has many Serbians living there, I am sure you have a lot people who love both Bulls and Nuggets...

[@Bewbscueser]

@@daveasmer3353 you are correct, Chicago has a thriving Serbian community.

[@gnomechomsky2524]

I’m from Chicago, grew up during the Jordan era and made it through the 2000s with Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler, etc. The franchise got fun again with Derrick Rose, but that died when they blew up the team in the mid 2010s. The last few years of the bulls have been unwatchable in my opinion. But I moved to Denver in 2016 and have been a Nuggets fan ever since. It’s good to have a soft spot for your original team, but it’s awesome rooting for this nuggets team. They just play an amazing brand of basketball, so enjoyable to watch and fun to cheer for. If they can stay healthy they will win several more championships in the next 5 years. Get on the bandwagon!

[@ronchapman6525]

Superb documentary. Just what I have been looking for. It's good to see what Nick Wright had to say about Jokic prior to him winning a championship. He tries now to whitewash it by saying I just needed to see him win a chip. I'm sorry dude, you repeatedly criticized him in the most savage fashion you could imagine, when you didn't hold others (read: Embiid) to the same standard of "I'm gonna trash him like there's no tomorrow until he wins a championship." There's no coming back from that. We know who you are.

[@markhomer2524]

Yessir. Recites.

[@enzogarcia6675]

[@nicholaskatsikas4904]

The only bad part of this video was having to listen to Perkins and Nick Wright

[@RoachMonarch]

Having been at game 1 of the Finals, this recreation was able to put me back in the game better than just watching the game. The editing here in terms of the team research and the generation of emotion really encapsulates the feeling there was to be there. To watch this game in person and realize that this team could finally do it.

[@alexandrevillela926]

This video should be watched by every Nuggets fan

[@forg_tful.]

18:45 i like how the narrative in the beginning of the season was "there's great competition around them" and by the end of their run, it turned into "they had no competition" hahah, classic narrative switches on the nuggets

[@therealshino4607]

Fantastic video! Ill admit it made me emotional. Very emotional yesr. Jamal crying made me cry like a baby

[@kurimao65]

We want to see Nick Wright eat his words on live tv. Nikola Jokic never spoke ill of anyone. He intentionally laid low at season's end to give Embiid the MVP.

[@razoo911]

you 're right and when you see player like embid cry on media for an MVP run its sad, and when you see a commentator like kendrick perkins (and he admit before playoff that he never saw Denver) changing the narrative on racism with others media against jokic its pathetic

[@pac1841]

Crazy likable team. Glad they finally made it to the top.

[@kimcordova3444]

I’m so grateful I got to witness greatness ! Nugget Nation 🎉❤

[@cuffair1]

I'm a die hard nuggets fan here... and I love that this video captured the struggle and the journey of these men. Its an inspiring story and one that didn't really get nationwide attention. This is a team that the NBA needed to win in my opinion. The media and mainstream fans have lost their way with the idolization of Diva's in the league. Yes, this is professional basketball, where egos run wild just like any other professional sport. Without ego you're not going to be successful, but this nuggets team has somehow maintained some humbleness and commitment to one another in a league full of selfishness. Honestly i was pumped about Melo's Nuggets making it to the Western Conference finals and would have been cheering them on in the finals if Kobe didnt exist.... BUT, I am so much more appreciative of the fact that this team won and the Melo nuggets didnt. Great run and i really do hope to see this team run it back...... Side not: Bam..... That's a bad man. What a player, he deserves success as well

[@Ballg0d230]

Following this team and finally getting to see them win a championship after nobody but nuggets fans thought it could be done has been one of the best experiences and feelings ever. This movie recaps it all, Thank You

[@dhuman9321]

I am blown away. This is the best video on the Nuggets climb and triumph I've seen. (I'd have liked something on the 2022 series against the Champs, but the cut is indeed funny.) Really incredible work - getting and editing all these clips together. So well done. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon it, 10 days later. Thank you.

[@seancook9192]

True genius is displayed in its simplicity this is how jokic is

[@Jsch23]

brucey b was such a huge part of this chip, i think losing him this off season is going to really sting, he brought something special to this team, just a junkyard dog slasher and rim punisher who wasn't ever afraid of the moment and was honestly one of our best defenders. so many timely plays, if he wants another ring he'll come back but id understand if he went for the bag.

[@dumbassdude8372]

Him and braun had a great finals series

[@oldmansportsog2514]

Bruce was great in playoffs but during the season he was up and down, had good games and then had games he was a non factor. Glad he got his money but nuggets will be fine. They just drafted some dogs and Pwat is a longer Bruce Brown on offense

[@greyfox3954]

We still have Christian Braun, he will just get more minutes.

[@Frosty1026]

[@conradpoe-r7o]

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This was the same mantra of the back to back champions Houston Rockets of 94-95 and those San Antonio Spurs who won 5 titles. Coincidentally, those teams were led by humble and low profile superstars in Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan. I can see a lot of it on this Denver Nuggets team.

[@daveasmer3353]

Fax...Joker is by far my favorite player ever, but Hakeem will always be best center ever by far imho....Duncan and Spurs are in league of their own, Timmy could have gone 6 for 6 in the finals like Mj, if Ray Allen didn't save Miami....Anyways i 100% agree with you Sir....Greetings from Serbia

Congratulations to the Nugs. They had a tough journey. Michael Porter with back issues and wondering if he will ever blossom. Jamal Murray blowing out his ACL and they were questions if he would ever recapture the dynamic Bubble Murray mojo . Joker left in the dust and some people giving up on him. Jeff Green, Deandre Jordan, Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown, Thomas Bryant were on choking/trash teams. Mike Malone finally found coached a bunch of hungry dogs after being on the disaster in Sacramento. Denver put tape on our mouths and shut the doubters up. Nugs finally found their gold in the mine and they reach glory.
