I’m sure you’ve heard all the stories of Nikola Jokic — the unwitting superstar.
When Aaron Gordon arrived at his very first
@nuggets
practice, Jokic moved his shooting routine to a side hoop so Gordon could shoot on the main basket.
When people ask Jokic about his multiple…
7,846,000,00 people in the world.
332,278,200 live in the USA.
6,963,794 live in Serbia.
450 play in the NBA.
30 are NBA all stars.
1 person is MVP.
Nikola Jokic is one of 7,846,000,000 on this globe.
He’s the best basketball player in the world.
The Joker. 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tony Romo had to watch that play five times before he noticed the bobble. What does that tell you about the rule? So silly. Bunch of replay dweebs. That’s a TD on every planet but this one.
#NEvsPIT
Chuck and the TNT boys just did an entire segment on the
@nuggets
and just the
@nuggets
.
They didn’t stray into Laker talk. Chuck set them straight.
Cool to see.
This is the closest thing to a clap back I’ve ever heard out of Nikola Jokic.
I just asked him what 100 triple doubles means to him.
His answer — stonefaced — “not bad for a stat-padder.”
He hears them.
@nuggets
This video has been under lock and key for several weeks.
But it’s time.
As a form of penance for
@RadioMoser
, we finally release the video of
@RycroftMark
taking a swig from Moser’s chew spitter DURING an Avalanche game.
Enjoy. And Merry Christmas.
Covered a ton of
@nuggets
basketball.
I’ve never seen a team so ho-hum — so business-like — about a monumental win.
Biggest win in Nuggets history.
EVERY win from here on out will qualify as the “biggest win in Nuggets history”.
They need five more.
MPJ ended his media…
Don’t wanna hear any Russell Wilson slander today.
Dude is playing his ass off.
He’s stepping up in the pocket.
He’s taking some crunching hits.
He’s hitting receivers in stride.
His teammates have let him down today.
Broncos fire Hackett.
You can lose. You can’t get embarrassed while you lose. You can’t have players fighting on the sideline. You can’t have 20k no-shows at Mile High. You can’t do and say the same thing every week. You can’t become a mockery on national TV. You just can’t.
I won’t tolerate Elway trash talk on my timeline.
Who do you think hired George Paton?
Who played a hand in all THREE Broncos Super Bowl championships?
Who is the most influential figure in Denver sports history?
So don’t bring that weak sauce in here.
Show some respect!
Nikola Jokic thought Ishbia shoulda been tossed.
“The fan put a hand on me first. I thought the league was supposed to protect us.
If he’s on the court, he’s a fan isn’t he? He cannot influence the game by holding the ball.
So they’re not gonna protect me. They’ll protect…
So as I board the team bus, standing behind rookie Christian Braun who is still double-strapping his pink Elsa backpack, I can’t help but think how these
@nuggets
are a mirror-image of last year’s
@Avalanche
.
I mean, the parallels are ridiculous. Both teams were years in the…
The
@nuggets
just authored a history book in one night.
First-ever playoff series win over the Lakers.
First playoff sweep in franchise history.
First trip to the freaking NBA Finals.
And so it was written…
I still can’t believe Kelce put his hands on the head coach? I mean, who does that? Who has the hubris to pull that stunt in the Super Bowl? Screaming is one thing. But shoving his coach?? Pathetic.
The
@broncos
have become a statistical contradiction.
They're currently:
Top 10 in Time of Possession
Top 10 in fewest penalties
Top 10 in turnover differential
#1
in scoring defense
How the hell are they 7-8??
Amazing how quickly this Russell Wilson thing has escalated.
True intentions revealed in a span of two days.
Russ’s run in Denver is over.
He will be waived.
The
@broncos
will eat a ton of money.
It will go down as the worst trade in franchise history.
Unfortunate.
Nikola Jokic is currently holding a postgame press conference where he’s answering pretend questions.
No one has asked him anything.
He just keeps answering his own thoughts.
And it’s awesome.
Two of the best players on two of the best teams in their respective sports.
Get your shit together
@comcast
. We have loyal fans in Denver. Give them back their teams!
I just arrived at my twitter feed today and I can’t tell you how proud this Denver kid is to see the the Lakers fans all up in their feels.
Consider it a compliment.
The Lakers have served as a Nuggets dead end for years.
Not this year.
Accept your pain
Discussion point this morning on
@AltitudeSR
.
Nikola Jokic has become the face of Denver sports. It’s a title normally reserved for a
@broncos
player.
Not anymore.
This man is the most popular athlete in Colorado and it’s not close.
Kareem Jackson has been fined, ejected and suspended this season for lowering his head and launching...
Guy's learned nothing.
This is dangerous to both himself and who he's targeting.
Bruce Brown returns to Denver tomorrow.
Will never forget his reaction after the
@nuggets
clinched their NBA Championship.
I focused on Bruce when the final buzzer sounded. He reacted like many of us did that night. Deep in thought. Unsure of what to do. It was beautiful.
Ticket demand is higher in Denver than last year’s NBA cities.
Ticket prices higher in Denver than Miami.
TV ratings are highest in Denver. By a lot.
TV ratings nationally are just as high as last year.
So I guess the
@nuggets
are “interesting” after all.
How many cities have TWO teams ONE win away from the CONFERENCE FINALS?
The answer is one. One city.
OUR CITY.
@nuggets
@Avalanche
Let’s dance.
@AltitudeSR
Longtime Denver sports anchor and now Altitude TV/radio host Vic Lombardi tells
@NickKosmider
: “You wake up in the middle of the night and say, ‘Oh my God, I have cancer.’ It’s a crazy thing.” Vic talks for the first time about his recent diagnosis.
Late in the game, Michael Malone asked if Jamal Murray wanted to check back in with a few minutes left but Murray told him he wanted Reggie to enjoy his moment.
“Part of our culture is being selfless. We have a culture too. And that’s who we are.”
@nuggets
My
@broncos
emotions:
12:30pm - definitely taking Fields AT 9
1:40pm - what?? Aaron Freaking Rodgers has Denver on his list?
5:15pm - THE BRONCOS ARE MAKING A DEAL FOR AARON FREAKING RODGERS!????
6:15 - NO? At least Fields is still there
7:25 - How many damn corners we need?
Nikola on what Malone told the team when called a timeout up 23 in the third.
“I don’t listen to him in timeouts when he’s mad.
I’m joking, I’m joking.”
I don’t know if Prime can turn this program around but I do know this:
CU football is relevant again.
And since I’m already home, I will follow through on my vow and walk home from the radio station Monday morning at 10.
16 miles.
Worth it.
Malone said "put that in your pipe and smoke it."
Murray said, "when we win, they talk about the other team."
Even Jokic brought up the disrespect.
It's real.
And I love how the
@nuggets
are using it like rocket fuel.
Damn right I’m pulling for the Chiefs today. I don’t care about your loyalties and allegiances. I care about mine. I’m loyal to the teams that beat New England. Completely subjective and irrational. That’s sports. That’s fandom. Fight me.
According to the fancy charts, I have a 72% chance of cancer recurrence.
But so far, the underdog 28% is winning this race.
Nine-month PSA test today: UNDETECTABLE. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In the meantime, please watch my latest survivors interview.
So cool. Michael Malone on
@AltitudeSR
just now. Says he instructed assistant coach Ryan Bowen to attend his son’s high school semi-final game (Mtn Vista v East).
“I don’t need you on the bench in San Antonio Friday night. I need you at Denver Coliseum being a father.”…
I’ve seen enough to know this is not a Russell Wilson issue here in Denver. He certainly doesn’t perform to his salary, but it’s not entirely his fault. This offense is just too inconsistent and unpredictable. And it’s been that way for EIGHT YEARS!
This is just stupid.
It’s insulting.
Then don’t come.
Nobody is bigger than the game.
I LOVE Stephen A. But does he and his national brethren believe the game stops if they don’t show up? That’s peak arrogance. It’s why we in Denver dig our heels in on national BS.
Is there a better sports town than Denver, Colorado right now?
I mean, just check the standings in every league.
You don’t want none of this 303.
#westside
Charles Barkley just now on

92.5 -
"You sent me that graphic and I showed it to Ernie (TNT) and we just want to apologize to the Nuggets, Joker and the city of Denver. That's completely stupid not having Joker on that graphic. I mean, we're here all day!"
Such a poetic win.
So good.
A hatty for Kadri after he gets harangued and harassed.
Can’t wait to see the
@Avalanche
wrap this puppy up Wednesday night.
Perron moves to top of my list of most punchable faces.
Asked Chauncey Billups — Denver kid — what was going through his mind when he saw Denver celebrate a championship:
“So happy. So proud. Sooo proud. I mean I tried to do that here as a player. The best team won. They were so connected. Just proud man.”
@nuggets
One of the most entertaining football games I’ve ever seen.
Still not sure the better team won but the scoreboard doesn’t lie.
CU is 3-0 and CSU is 0-2.
The Rocky Mountain Showdown is undefeated.
College ball in Colorado is alive and well.
Goodnight and good morning.
For those of you who are fans of the Michael Porter, Jr podcast, he’s got a big one in the stable and ready to go: Nikola Jokic.
Michael told me he sat down with the big fella a couple weeks ago. Soon to be released.
Hey, Perk, I meant that as a compliment.
You gave me your time.
You gave me a great interview.
And then your tune changed a few days later.
And to be honest, I usually have much more activity on my page when I interview my pop.
@VicLombardi
Thank me later for giving you this great content and getting your views up. Pretty sure you haven’t had this much activity on your page in a minute. Carry on…
During the Stanley Cup playoffs, Bednar says Darcy Kuemper had to go to optometrist 2-3 times a day to "re-train his eye".
Other injuries:
Val - broken foot
Burky - broken foot/thumb
Kadri - broken thump
Girard - broken sternum
Helm - abnomimal tear
