The Nuggets' loss to the Timberwolves is an inexcusable failure for Nikola Jokic

It's an inexcusable loss in August. ... You cannot lose that series if you're the Nuggets. You cannot, if I told you Anthony Edwards is gonna miss the end of the series, Jaden McDaniels is gonna get hurt... You cannot lose that series.

While the Nuggets did lose, calling it 'inexcusable' for a player of Jokic's caliber is a common high-stakes sports take.

Tyrese Maxey is a top 10 player in the NBA. And they're, I think it's pretty hard to debate right now, otherwise, because he has done it all year. ... This series, he proved himself to be a top 10 player in the NBA.

Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The narrative around Embiid has historically been centered on second-round failures and injuries; beating a -900 favorite Celtics team in Game 7 certainly impacts that.

The Brooklyn Nets should relocate to Las Vegas or Seattle

I honestly think the, the league should look at making the Nets. Either the Vegas team or the Sonics. How do you, there is not a single kid in, in, in New York, greater, greater New York era area, the tri-state area that is going to want to root for the Nets.

NBA players shouldn't be expected to participate in handshake lines while the winning team is celebrating a championship

I don't give a fuck about the handshake line when the other team is celebrating their title. I understand there's a difference. Like he didn't actively, like it wasn't a piston situation where he walked off while there was still time on the clock. If I just won the NBA title, I'm not going to look to shake the hands of the loser. Like that one I had no problem with.
