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 lively 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 constructive 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 constructive.
Final October, Kevin Garnett urged Jokic to talk out on how the Nuggets have taken him without any consideration and are not doing sufficient to maximise his prime. It seems Jokic has lastly heeded the recommendation.
After the Recreation 7 loss, Jokic flat-out admitted the Nuggets roster is not ok to win a championship.
