YUP. The first part is that after his big game in Indiana last year, the players all doused him in water and Gary was just yelling "YEAH MIKE" over and over and it was hilarious to me.
YEAH MIKE briefly explained:
When MPJ hit that 3 against LAC in the playoffs he said “something just told me to shoot it” so
@DLineCo
created this photo of him yelling “Yeah Mike!” at himself.
Now it’s turned into a viral Nuggets sensation (
@DNVR_Nuggets
- right?)
"Has Nikola Jokić been shortchanged on awards or is he literally the most decorated regular season player of the last 3 years?"
Take 125 seconds and listen to
@getnickwright
's response to Mike Malone saying people need to give Jokić their respect:
Id like to congratulate the Lakers and the city of Los Angeles on a loss that felt like a W. Just 3 more of those and you will get to move on to Cancun that feels like the finals.
Anthony Davis has a message for the Denver Nuggets
“It was just a lot of talking. We get it, y’all won, but me and Bron had some conversations... we can’t wait [to play them].” 👀

Seems to be a common feeling among fan bases not used to winning anything (nuggets, suns, Jazz, grizz in recent years). They simply don’t know how to act, how to be humble in victory. They think every playoff win is a coronation. Lakers/C’s/Warriors/Heat fans KNOW when to talk
tonight is the night that the NBA will show how influenced by narratives they are. The MVP is going to be awarded to a guy whose team keeps winning without him because it was racist to give it to the most valuable player in the world.
Do Nuggets fans realize, if they were to actually pull off this all time upset and advance to the NBA finals... The NBA finals ratings will be worse than a rockets Pistons regular season game? Please do the world a favor and stop encouraging this
I cant stand the MVP convo. It truly brings out the worst in everyone. I am just genuinely saddened by the way people talk about Jokic. He is as unique and dominant a player as we will ever see.
To change the tone here. Matt Stone and Trey Parker deserve statues built in their honor. They love Denver so much that they spent 40 million dollars to preserve one of our most cherished institutions with no hope of ever recouping that investment. I respect those guys so much.
The Embiidless Sixers got the Nuggets starters to with in 3 in the last minute. The Nuggets without Jokic weren’t able to score 90 points. Embiid makes shots, but if he didn’t, someone else would and that offense would still work. Jokic IS the ENTIRE Nuggets offense. It’s why he…
Charles Barkley pointing out a “damn idiot” NBA MVP voter who didn’t have Nikola Jokic in the top 5. Glad he mentioned this, because that voter should have their voter right rescinded. The unwarranted hate for Jokic is real. Anyone know who that voter was??

Everyone was such a dick about Kuemper after 1 bad game, like the best goalie in hockey didn't have 2 bad games the previous 2. He was so great tonight. Eat your words.
Congrats to the Nuggets front office, masterfully navigated this trade deadline. Was very bummed about the Bones situation, but getting Bryant and Jackson are great additions to a team with very real championship aspirations and talent.
The Nuggets are in first place, are the reigning champs, only have 1 Allstar and have incredible continuity
I need someone to explain to me why Michael Malone isn’t leading the coach of the year discussions?
The clown of the year award goes to
@RealTristan13
. Just atrocious analysis throughout the year, punctuated by actually contributing heavily to the Lakers getting punked after claiming they would beat the Nuggets in the first round. Congrats.
Joel Embiid says he doesn’t need to stat pad to help his MVP case:
“It is coming naturally. Even against the Bulls (on March 22), I could have easily stat-padded if I wanted to, but I don’t care. I could have easily come back in and got a triple-double and make sure that I keep…
@tdubinyoface
Oh damn, that sounds rough. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully one day the deserving fans of that storied franchise can get a fair shake in this corrupt league. I’ll keep you in my thoughts
