BREAKING: Jokic Was Selected By Josh Kroenke And Staff Instead of Nurkic Despite MPJ’s Contentious Podcast

In a recent podcast interview with Michael Porter Jr.’s Curious Mike Podcast, Josh Kroenke, the owner of the Denver Nuggets, discussed the team’s success, Nikola Jokic’s exceptional talent, and the decision to draft Michael Porter Jr. despite his injury history.

Despite the perception that Jokic prioritizes his horses over basketball, he emphasized his dedication to the game and his obsession with winning.

The controversy surrounding Porter’s podcast only highlighted the Nuggets’ deliberate choice to build around Jokic, reflecting their long-term vision for the team.

The team made a strategic decision in 2015 to build the roster around Jokic instead of Jusuf Nurkic, based on a statistical analysis that showed Jokic outperforming Larry Bird in his sophomore season.

While this decision was controversial at the time, it has proven to be the right one, as Jokic has become a two-time NBA MVP and is aiming for a back-to-back NBA title.

The Nuggets will face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, and Jokic recognizes the toughness of their opponent despite their regular season success against them.

Jokic’s impressive performance against the Lakers in previous matchups indicates that the Lakers should be worried if they hope to pull off an upset in the playoffs.
