Nikola Jokic's supposed indifference toward basketball? A third MVP will disprove that myth.
In fact, it became even more so, once Christian Braun realized it was a trend and not a one-time occurrence. “It's always mandatory for the first-, second-, third-year guys,” Braun said. When the Nuggets are on the road, there's often an 8 a.m. bus to the gym for these informal opportunities to get extra shots up. This is Braun's second season in the NBA.

Is The Denver Nuggets Bench Enough For Them To Go Back-To-Back?
Arguably no team in the NBA has a starting five with as much high-end talent and lineup balance as the Denver Nuggets. On the season, the unit of Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic is a +13.1 points per 100 possessions over the course of 1831 non-garbage time possessions (per Cleaning the Glass). Denver had a similar problem last year.

Christian Braun posterizes Rudy Gobert with left hand to punctuate Nuggets' last home game before playoffs: “My best sequence in the NBA”
Christian Braun didn't have time to immediately examine every single notification on his phone, but he did notice a text from his mom before he spoke to reporters. “Lord knows,” Braun said solemnly. Reactions were pouring in after his left-handed dunk over three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert on Wednesday night. The poster gave the Nuggets (56-24) a 12-point lead with 3:21 remaining in an eventual 116-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
