![]() ![]() Here are some Jazz-tinted thoughts now that the Nuggets are champs - about the Nuggets, the playoffs in general, and what Jazz fans can draw from the last eight weeks of basketball. And that one belongs to DeAndre Jordan, who played all of three minutes in the Finals. In fact, outside of Jokic, the entire Nuggets roster boasts a combined ONE All-Star appearance. But he hardly fits the megastar mold himself he’s never appeared in a single All-Star game despite being the undisputed second best guy on the newest title team. Jamal Murray seemed to balance the stoic Jokic, weeping on the dais as he reflected on the road back from a tough injury. After the buzzer of the Game 5 win, Finals MVP Nikola Jokic quietly made the rounds to every member of the runner-up Heat, then soft clapped on the sideline, then demurred in his postgame interview about how the club’s first NBA title feels good because “now we can go home.” He’s an atypical superstar, on and off the court. Sure, those are division rivals celebrating across the Rocky Mountains, but the story of the 2022-23 NBA champion Denver Nuggets has to be a bit encouraging to Colorado’s western neighbors. There’s a certain kinship among fanbases in non-glamor markets, so watching a pair of understated, homegrown superstars from Denver make it all the way to the NBA’s mountaintop has to be somewhat endearing to Utah Jazz fans.
