So the Nuggets had the best record in the west
With a second-team All-NBA player and…
No coach of the year candidate, no defensive team players, no rookies receiving honors, no second all star and without the executive of the year.
Denver does not exist
The 2022-23 Kia All-NBA Second Team:
▪️ Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
▪️ Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat
▪️ Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
▪️ Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets
▪️ Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers

If it was even KNOWN by CSU beat reporters that Blackburn was going to take a dangerous shot at a Colorado player in this game, then the ENTIRE CSU program needs to be questioned and investigated.

Jokic has the most game-saving/winning blocks in the NBA this year. lolol
Why Embiid) should be the MVP:
- He carried the team during the Simmons debacle
- He saves losing games w/ blocks, rebounding, & his refusal to quit (last night)
- Idc what the stats say, he looks more electric on the court. Not Jokic, sorry. Giannis should be his biggest comp
