One of the underrated elements of this play was #Broncos Pat Surtain II hauling all the way through the backfield to try to make AD Mitchell uncomfortable.

Turns out he was also telling guys to be on alert for trick plays on the sideline beforehand, too.

“Are you not entertained?!”

Dan Lanning is one of one

will never resist an excuse to bring back this video

Just to hammer this point home:

Jokić has 35 points on 17 shots and his top strategy is to shoot every time the 4x DPOY guards him straight up.

More than an MVP.

Here's what Dan Lanning had to say about the outrage about his pregame speech and Skip Bayless

[ESPN @espn]

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning didn't hold back in his pregame speech against Colorado 👀

"They're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins."

This is one of the most incredible stories in NBA history.

The Denver Nuggets went from a Conference Finals run in the 2020 Bubble, to a second round exit in 2021, to a first round exit in 2022.

Most teams who go through something like this would do something drastic. But Denver believed in destiny.

Jamal Murray came back from ACL surgery. Michael Porter Jr came back from back surgery. Jeff Green came back from a 5-hour open-heart surgery. These are career ending injuries for most players. Belief brought them to their destiny today.

Aaron Gordon spent 70% of his career in Orlando being known for nothing more than second-best dunker. When he got traded, 95% of fans couldn’t care less. But as destiny would have it, he played the biggest games of his career in another Florida zip code.

Nobody has played for more NBA teams than Ish Smith. 13 years and 13 teams later, he finally reaches his destiny.

Jokic was snubbed from a 3rd straight MVP. Hindsight is 20/20, but he became the best player in the world in 20 playoff games. His true destiny? FMVP.

This team was built through the draft. They filled in the gaps with a mesh of misunderstood talents. They committed to a beautiful brand of team basketball.

“They beat an 8th, 4th, 7th and 8th seed!”

No. They beat KD-Book, Bron-AD, and Jimmy-Bam.

“They have no chance at becoming a dynasty.”

Except they joined the Lakers, Warriors and Spurs as only teams in the last 25 years with less than 5 losses in a title run.

The Nuggets could’ve fired their coach. They could’ve split up Jokic and Murray. They could’ve quit.

Instead, they took a hard look at themselves and believed it was their destiny to win a championship together.

What a season. And what a story. This is the real reason Denver’s first NBA championship is truly so special…🤷🏽‍♂️
