Such a likable team. Sticking by Murray through injury, giving Jokic his pieces, elevating squad players, bringing back slashers, changing what an elite center is defined as, defeating narratives. Nuggets are a fantastic team
they're basically what GSW could have been if Durant had stayed after injury.
AG is a tremendous piece, on both offense and defense
They had the easiest finals run ever
@@someones_herethe warriors ain't a likeable team at all. They could have been like these Nuggets if durant never got there
@@edogthebigdogliterally beat the suns and the lakers who beat the defending champ. The Timberwolves have the best rim protector in the league and jokic cooked him, the heat beat the celtics who made the finals last year and beat the mvp in 7. They didn't have an easy run they made the run look easy
my dad has watched the nuggets for over 50 years and watching this team finally win a title was the the happiest day in both of our lives
yo pops a die-hard fan but it paid off
what does he think about Jokic?
Is Jokic a god over there in Denver?
@@steviechampagne he loves jokic, probably his favorite nuggets of all time. every game he’s ready to watch the mvp do his thing. we’re from wyoming and over here it’s still a huge deal so i can only imagine how he’s viewed in denver
@@kira-xr1kl so cool! i’m 1000 miles away, and yet over here everyone is amazed by Jokic.
He’s the greatest basketball player on the planet, and when he hangs it up, he will force us all to acknowledge his place among the Top Greats that have ever played this game
@@steviechampagneI’m born and raised in Denver. Absolutely he is. Especially after the continuous terrible seasons the Broncos have had. We love Jokic and fucking hate Russell Wilson.
dylan gotta be the most underrated NBA creator on CZcams easily
Agreed.
Ikr
Ong
I mean hes got 161k thats still a lot. TooForWon is pretty underrated
Nope that would be Wilson Sy. Calling Dylan underrated would be a travesty #ifUKnowUKnow
Imagine if this team was healthy from 2020-2022.... And the fact that there are people that still doubt this run and don't want to take this Nuggets team seriously, speaks volumes on how poor basketball media is.
They are the same people that can't pronounce Jokic and gave him the nickname "Joker". But seriously basketball media only cares about narratives they like. Everything else is viewed as evil to them.
The fact that you just made up a narrative
@jayherbogaming what makes you think it's made up?
@@tiroscI swear, we're always in for a dogshit take when someone says "jokovic" or something like that
Just how GSW was doubted, If Nuggets shut them up again in the next NBA championship, They'd finally respect them
Nikola has made me fall back in love with basketball. A love that i have not felt since the Spurs revenge on the Heat. His game is so beautiful. From the unreal passing and even his down the court water polo type passes, to his shot selection and his amazing footwork, the man is a joy to watch and the players they have surrounded him with compliment his game perfectly. great video, as always, Dylan.
Jokic and entertainment don’t collide
@@HoopEnthusiastsif you’re a casual they don’t
Spurs fans absolutely enjoy Nuggets basketball. Jokic, Murray, etc are just great people along with being great players. 100% respect and well-deserved championship.
It's still pretty shocking the Spurs didn't take Jokic in 2014. Coach Pop would love him integrated to his system.
It’s safe to say you’re narrow minded 😂
Step 1: have Nikola Jokic
Step 2: give him the ball
Step 3:???
Step 4: profit
Step 3 is don't be like Will Barton.
Step 3: If Jokic is doubled, give it to open man.
its easy for jokic whan power forwards guarding him
@@jpragata017 so solution si punt big men on jokic(real center) and dont double ez fix
I think you will love early 90's to 2000's basketball
I remember the Lakers Vs. Nuggets 2023 Conference Finals matchup. In the other series, even against the Warriors, when the other teams would make 3s it was annoying to see the Laker's defense not try. Against the Nuggets I swear I never saw AD, Bron, or the rest of the Lakers try so hard on defense just for seemingly every shot perfectly swish. It was debilitating as a Bron fan, but it made me really respect the Nuggets for the basketball poetry I was watching.
Loved watching your guy get swept
Lebron(aka crybaby) is finished.
You say “I remember” as if it was a long time ago lol. It was only a few months ago, you _sbould_ remember! But I agree it was incredible to watch. Seeing Jokic sink those off balance 3’s with AD in his face was unbelievable
@@carlitobrigante4999facts duuuude ... wasn't worst than bucks vs suns
@@carlitobrigante4999not jokic fault that the sixers, celtics and bucks all imploded lmao
The fact that this team stuck it out, after the numerous takes that jokic wasn’t capable of playing defense and etc…
They got themselves a chip
And their defence won them that last game, funnily enough.
@@FkTheUFCand especially Game 4 vs the Lakers. Team D with the Joker beat the King 👑
The easiest chip ever 🤣🤣
@@edogthebigdogno that’s the 2022 warriors
@@somregularguy Nope, KD Warriors 18-19
When it’s all said and done, it won’t be melo’s #15 that ends up in the rafters. It will be the #15 of Nikola Jokic. Jokic has already done more for Denver than melo ever did or ever could’ve done
This was true two years ago
Lol it’s messed 😂that he retired and his 15 won’t go up in the rafters 😂
@@chrissams6230 considering he might be the most overrated player in the history of the league, not really. Though considering how good the Knicks have been post Ewing, he might get #7 there but I doubt 1 playoff series win really merits that.
This was the case years ago
@@Aleks-ot5nsdude is 7th leading scorer ALL TIME in nba history
As a lifelong Denver fan going back to their first year in the ABA (56 years…yeah I’m an OG, now) this documentary was well done and spot-on. Every nuance was perfectly pointed out. I had the pleasure of meeting Jokić’s parents and brothers at Club Lexus at the Pepsi Center (now Ball Arena). They bond this family has is undeniable. Glad Murray overcame his injury and MPJ has come a long way. Coach Malone molded this team into something incredibly talented. I can die, now. The Nuggets finally won it all.
Jokic was the Chosen One..
that picture of him wearing the nuggets sweater at 4 years old gives me chills…
Ironically, many Nuggets fans including me know that despite the poor shooting, if it wasn't for MPJ's scoring contribution and defense in Game 5, especially in the first half, we don't win Game 5.
Yeah, we sucked that game, honestly. And those refs made me want to scream. They let Jimmy kick AG in the dick and gave him 3 fts for it. Most blatant attempt I've seen in years
@@michaelbietsch2864same. Though good teams find a way to win bad games and we did
You could say that for every player because at the end every basket count in close game.
@@michaelbietsch2864i forgot about that lol yeah that was fuckin rigged lol the calls all game were criminal af
MPJ simply made final less boring lol. if he was locked in, there would be no game 5
And still, AG doesn't get enough credit for what he does, even in a detailed video as this one.
He got the ring and I am sure this is enough for him.Don't worry too much.
Nugs played exceptional hoops. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon, KCP, Christaun Braun, and the rest of the crew shined bright in the big moments of the playoffs. Mike Malone made the proper adjustments and brought confidence and toughness to win.
“at last the long wait is over, after 47 years” still get chills hearing it man. Born and raised in Denver, i’m only 21 but i’ve been a nuggets fan since before I can remember. So happy to see this team come together so well
Jamal Murray is the x factor on that team. Dude is an assasin, the perfect running mate for joker.
Darth Mal
@@1234jokerboy dope nickname, I can get behind that.
@@1234jokerboydamn right.
Same can be said for Aaron Gordon, perfect pairing for Jokic
As a nuggets fan thanks for making this. Other NBA influencers don’t wanna dive into why the nuggets are so special
This Denver team is the real process by sticking and believing in their core and coach. Unlike some pretenders in Philly who cries for MVP and then throws teammates under the bus after he doesn't show up.
dylan only has 1/10 of a million subs?
Get this man 1 million guys.
If you think the Nuggets are boring you just aren’t a fan of basketball
nuggets are boring
@@pWoLiAnok
Facts, people think basketball should be WWE lmao.
I swear noone thinks the nuggets are boring they have a flashy passer like jokic and a flashy player like murray with beautiful team basketball i think they just say this years finals was boring
they are boring....
Another banger video, Dylan is a prime example of Quality over Quantity
I lived in Denver from 2016-2021. It was so fun watching that team improve year after year.
This Nuggets Team is basically another incarnation of the Warriors journey. Doubted talent, no name players drafted in the 2nd round blooming to stars, using players that are given up on use there expertise for the depth of there team. Then theres making a play style viable which for the Nuggets is centered around Jokic's Passing while the Warriors are centered around Steph's shooting. Like it's nice to see teams like then develop to juggernauts of the league. Jokic and Giannis for me are the best big men archetype to have in today's league.
Watching Jokic is always a treat until he’s playing your favorite team, then it’s a nightmare lol
Before my Dad died . He knew the Joker will be one of the greatest hoop player and he knew Denver will won cause its more of We and not I .. he said that is why it is called ‘Team’ cause greatness are never done by one person , it is done by a Team of people..
Rip
I loved watching these guys this finals. Total joy to watch and a breather from most other teams.
Which is exactly why NBA media and ESPN are in a panic mode. They thought all along that flashy black players are the only way to a conference final or finals. Many basketball fans, especially millenials, are totally unaware or have forgotten the basics of basketball and how beautiful the game of basketball is if played with a heightened awareness, unselfishness, and IQ which Jokic clearly possess! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TEAM, STUPID!
I trust chuck so much more than these so-called "analysts". He's predicted the past few champs and he was a legendary player
Organic and patient team building over superteams💯
Great video! I'm a Warriors fan, but you gotta give Jokic and the Nuggets their respect for a dominant run to get the championship. You also gotta appreciate how well their team was constructed, and they did it the right way, too.
Ben catching a random stray in this video is so unneeded yet amazing💀
Love them,their game,Jokić, Murray,Gordon...coach Malone, everything. Simple the best 💪
I didn’t watch ball at all for the past few years but I watched Denver’s 2023 playoffs. I’d heard about Jokic and Denver. I love these kinds of teams, the underrated teams, the teams who hunger.
Literally just got done watching Tooforwon 4 hour masterpiece on Nikola Jokic revenge tour and now this. How great is that.
my favorite team I’ve ever seen play, memories of watching them 5 or 6 years ago and knowing that they could be special. So great to see you make an excellent video about these deserving fellas
This was a thorough video.
I would like to add something to the 2020 comeback vs the Clippers, it started when Morris tried to punk Millsap when they were up big. Paul Millsap then went off for a bit, which is why his Vote 4 Millsap jersey is iconic among Nuggets fans.
It’s crazy to think about lol. Paul Millsap is directly responsible for that game 5 win, and we would’ve been squashed without him
Bulls fan here and I know they whenever I need a real hoops team I watch the Nuggets. They are poetry in motion. No wasted movement. Their offense is fluid and on a string. A complete team of complimentary pieces. A defined role for every player on the roster.
The Nuggets didnt just beat the Heat, they beat the media and the NBA voting bias.
And the Lakers refs 😂
Hopefully nuggets can keep this up, it's always fun to see a new team rise to the top specially after media is trying to shoot them down ☠️
As a fan of your videos and a Nuggets fan, I wanted Denver to win a championship so you can make this exact video. Great content as usual bro
The 2023 Nuggets in the Playoffs were just so many levels above everyone else.
They made the Lakers and Heat look like they didnt belong in the arena with them.
This just goes to show that liking horses is the best base for Basketball.
MPJ SHOT horribly in the finals, but he was able to make up for it with really solid defense and a great game near the basket. If he puts it all together next season it’s going to be scary.
Amazing video. We all knew Jokič was great, but now, I'm in love in the guy and Denver Nuggets !
I can really tell you have pride in the vids you make. Great stuff.
I became a nuggets fan around 2015-2016 so seeing a in depth video like this really helped me remember things I forgot when I first started watching the nuggs. Wilson chandler was my goat lmao
Dude, you're the Jokic of NBA creators. Love to watch!
What I love the most about Jokic is the fact that by the end of his career he's (probably) gonna be the best player in Nuggets history, he's (probably) gonna go down in history as one of the best centers of all time, he's (probably) gonna be the player with the most triple doubles and he's gonna do all that while not giving a single fuck about any of it.
That’s a misconception. The dude’s got that DAWG in him. He just doesn’t care about the celebrity status that comes with being a superstar.
Bro needs more subs n views for this type of content
I love how he story tells very organized and linear ez to follow
Amazing video man, you're one of my favorite mentors ❤
love the music selection, and this video is super well edited, thank you for showing respect to my Denver Nuggets
Good video every time dylan uploads
The editing, the vaporwave, the voice over, all super well done! Love this video
This was the best Nuggets road to gold video I have watched yet. Awesome job dude hats off really, you did your homework.
Coming from a lifelong Nuggets fan. Born in 93 haha.
Live in cali close to LA so all I see is Los Angeles, born in Denver and lived with my grandparents for a while in Colorado. Instantly knew jok would get us at least one especially when Murray came around. Finally some history in the making.
Anyways I had a long comment but I lost it so long comment short the only thing I’d add is in depth looks on the lineups jok / nugs had to play with at times when players were hurt example randy foy ehhhhhhhh yuck. But you still touched on that. and also the Shaw drama but that is just nit picking, the video is perfect as is.
Anyways this championship meant a lot to me because my gma passed unexpectedly during the Minnesota series, she was always chillin on the couch during games doing her crossword puzzles and commenting on everyone and her thoughts and rooting for us. Just made it special being an actual fan of the game. Much love to everyone if you read this keep up the grind always do you! Let’s gooo
I won’t lie I was a Nuggets hater that wanted to be proven wrong & I’m happy they proved me wrong! Jokic is the best player in the NBA I hope they repeat
One of the best channels out, videos are crazy good bro please keep it up 👌
I love watching your videos Dylan, they are really entertaining and high quality. Keep it up man, you are gonna be very big one day 🔥🔥
Jokic, Giannis, Butler, and even AD have proven to me they’re Hall of Fame in the past few nba playoffs. This Nuggs team was a well-oiled machine from Round 1.
one of those 4 that you named that isn’t even close to being in the hall of fame lol
@@dababy1234 You have to remember this is the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame, and they allowed Grant Hill to be in it.
This was a great project. Very informative, accurate, and well articulated.
Keep up the great work, man. Love your videos.
You have the most entertaining NBA content on the app man !
Best NBA CZcamsr by far!!!
Been waiting for this💪🔥
LETS GOOO ANOTHER VIDEO FROM THE LEGEND!!!
Glad you’re back!!
That intro is legitimately my favourite of all time on any youtube video. Chills every time!
Super well put together video. Fantastic detail. Thanks! ❤
What are phenomenal documentary. Thank you so much for highlighting. My favorite team since I was in fifth grade!
This was a great video! Well done!!
Man... great video... simply amazing job!👏👏👏
That intro is 🔥🔥 great job!
another great video as always dylan🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love your editing style. 🔥
Everytime you post a video is an instant watch for me. Greetings from Argentina men, i love your channel
Speaking of Argentina, I'd love for Facu to be at the ring ceremony in October
Dylan making a video about my favorite team is a great thing to wake up to
The rise of Jamal Jokic and the nuggets will be talked about forever
Loved it! Great documentary.
When I was in grade school, my neighbor in Columbine Knolls owned the Denver Rockets (named after the Titan missiles built at Lockheed in nearby Waterton Canyon) … back then it was the ABA and red, white, and blue basketballs, and games played in the Coliseum. I’m 60 years old now, it’s been a long time coming.
Damn brother this is the best Nuggets video I've seen, learned so much! Great mafakin job!
Love his videos❤ I literally stay all night to watch his videos 😂😂
the goat dylan has posted
some of Jokic 3s in the Lakers series serious killed their confidence, such a dominating performance
Always banger content from u
Brooo! I am a Lakers fan and have respected Joker ever since the bubble run they had, coming back from 3-1 in BACK TO BACK ROUNDSnl. And THIS how Joker repay me😂. But nah seriously, dude is and will be a BAD MAN for years to come. much love ❤ to Joker
Another Banger Video, Bro Doesnt Miss
This is the kind of video that should win awards. Seriously. This isn't just editing and inserting funny memes and sounds. This is painstaking research and storytelling to effectively advance the narrative. BRAVO.
Dylan with another great vid. I need one for my Kings ball club! ❤️🔥
Great piece brother, from Bangkok watching.
the nuggets beating the heavily favored clippers team in 2020 was one of the best things i’ve witnessed in basketball. i never rooted for a team so much that i couldn’t careless about like i did with the nuggets. overcoming 2 3-1 deficits in the playoffs was so exciting to see
Excellente, subbed
The Nuggets sweeping the Lakers was a HUGE deal in Denver. Before that we had never beat them in the playoffs, ever.
I followed this whole season damn man you made me remind grwat memories
Dylandoesbasketball always got the best videos to eat to 🔥🔥
As someone who doesn't have a favorite team, I gotta say it's hard not to root for Denver and Jokic from now on 😅
Great Video...Thanks Dylan
subscribed! great content man
Great video!
The goat had posted!!
YOUR CONTENT IS AWESOME!!! I LIKE EVERY VIDEO BEFORE I EVEN WATCH BECAUSE I KNOW IT WOULD BE AMAZING!!! KEEP ON MAKING GOOD STUFF AND GOOD LUCK
