      The fanbase the ESPN has cultivated and tried to chase are the type of people that don't watch basketball.... unless you count Skip Bayless / Stephen A Smith Sports gossip talk shows that incidentally will show some highlights or watching a highlight-reel with cool moves over a hip hop beat.
      The Denver Nuggets are these peoples worst nightmare. I'm here for it 🤑

      That's so awesome for your dad!!! I was super devastated when Melo wanted out and breaking up a realistic Championship-contending team and taking Chauncey too - this is so unreal - a miracle of God that we got Joker in the 2nd round and when Ujiri (the GM at the time of Melo trade) took everything he could from that Melo trade - we ended up getting Murray as one of the last pieces of that Melo trade. So now I love that Melo trade because it helped birth us our first Championship! You couldn't make this stuff up - this Championship is everything and then some!!!

    Damn we are lucky in Colorado-coach Malone was a big part of this Nuggets title...no different than coach Bednar with the Avalanche last yr. And while its super early-both teams are odds on favorites in their respective sports for next yr-as we sit here today. Both went on matching dominant 16-4 playoff runs-pretty crazy. Both teams are crazy talented-sure. But their best players are not only superstars-but the right KIND of superstars. Coachable,humble,unselfish,& care deeply bout their teammates,& winning-no James Harden or Kyrie nonsense here. Thats not a coincidence both just won titles.
    We just MIGHT be attending a joint Avs/Nugs parade next yr. Very easily couldve already happened-had Murray/MPJ not been hurt the last 2 yrs-or the Avs werent the most injured deffending champ in like 3 decades this yr. But unbelievable experience to be at a Nugs parade-almost exactly 1 yr after attending the Avs parade. And might take a bit-but coach Prime,& coach Peyton will eventually get things turned around at CU,& with the Broncos. No brighter combined futures than with the Avs,& Nuggets in the nhl/nba. And best part is both already climbed the mtn-WHATEVER happens in the future.

    Give the PatMac crew credit. They are so positive and curious rather than negative.

The guy plays every game, never takes a night off, lifts weights after every game, has never been to Shotgun Willie’s … he cares more than anyone. This crew finds it funny. They want to learn more. Others not so much. Well done guys.
