Denver Nuggets And The Big Role Nikola Jokic

Denver Nuggets made history. For the first time, they lifted the NBA champion trophy.

Nuggets became the best in the 2022-2023 season by beating Miami Heat 4-1. They only lost the second game, in Denver, which at that time made the position 1-1.

Nikola Jokic. That name will be in the spotlight on the first written history for the Denver Nuggets team.

The first time Nuggets reached the NBA Final of all time the club was founded, for the first time the NBA Champions trophy was lifted. What he felt was that Denver's figure could create history without the presence of a 2.11-meter-high Serbian player in every match played.

With his towering body just like the player in the center in basketball, Jokic is more free to pick up the rebound ball, making him over the wind when shooting a missed opponent's ball.

In addition to being very profitable physically, Jokic is also equipped with a high IQ in basketball. The operandi is that his pass to teammates is very, very delicious to be seeded into points, as reported by Antara.

Jokic's eyes are like behind his head, or his ears can also see? I don't know how many times he passed without seeing or "no look pass".

Small gaps that are not covered by the opponent's defense can be exploited into bait passes. It is easy for a colleague who is given the ball to score points, mostly through a sink, not a few lay-ups or three points are free without the opponent's interference.

Another terrible thing about Jokic was the accuracy of the shot. Anthony Davis, a Los Angeles Lakers center player who is tall similar to Jokic, was repeatedly headed by three points from the big man Denver.

Anthony Davis, who is 2.08 meters tall, was tasked with escorting wherever Jokic went in the West Region NBA final between Denver Nugets and Los Angeles Lakers. But Davis lost badly, Jokic won the two big man fights. Nuggets won without a fight over the Lakers in the West Final with a score of 4-0.

Jokic's shot was very efficient and accurate. He seemed to not want a lot of style in contributing points. With the high above average NBA players should easily jump while turning the ball into the basket very hard,IGN like most other NBA players.

But Jokic often jumps small and reflects the ball onto the board to lead it into the basket when it's just below the ring. Jokic's top scorer for his team has been the food for almost every game.

With all that expertise, make him a triple-double monster in the NBA world. In the 2022-2023 NBA regular season, Jokic scored a triple-double 29 times.

It didn't stop, Jokic scored 10 triple-doubles in the NBA playoffs. Two of them were in the NBA Final which made his name again written in history as the first player to score double-doubly in the final.

In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Nikola Jokic was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP). This year, the title was won by Joel Embiid from Philadelphia 76ers.

Criticism scattered on Embiid as a person with the MVP title, but could not bring his team through the NBA final of the Eastern Region. Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics in the semifinals of the Eastern Region with a score of 3-4, with minimal contribution.

Many voices say the MVP title should have fallen to Jokic, making him the NBA MVP for three years in a row. Jokic ranks second in the 2023 MVP title race.

But what did Jokic say? "The selection of MVP titles is correct. Joel Embiid has played well throughout the season," he said as quoted by Antara.

Even Denver coach Michael Malone also described Jokic as a shy player. He was reluctant to be hailed by his greatness, even though he was actually a key player for Nugets. Perhaps that's what makes Jokic reluctant to do a kink, only shooting as efficiently as possible to get points.

In the end, Nikola Jokic still got the MVP title in the NBA Finals. Who else? Two three-double, two-top scorers, and three-doubles in five NBA Finals games to give Denver Nuggets the first winning trophy.
