He said several times that he prefers Denver over NYC, LA, CHI, BOS etc.

He also said early on in his career (I think when asked about his first extension) that he wanted to be the Tim Duncan of Denver.

Well we are seeing it.

I f#%king love this guy. Congrats Nuggets fans!

Of course he is there. Don't fall for Jokic's gaming, he loves fooling the minions, just like he plays on the court.
Canned in Denver.

Such a breath of fresh era after the Lebron/KD diva era.

Can you imagine Embiid losing his regular season MVP trophy?

He's almost a bad 80s stereotype of an eastern European movie antagonist.

He is a huge breath of fresh air. Hopefully youngsters look to him (and Steph, and The Freak) and realise that staying humble, grounded and playing with a team-first mentality is what's best. That stuff is pervasive throughout a squad.

People that say he's boring (clowns like Nick Wrong and Skip Clueless) don't actually like Basketball, they like drama.

And he plays it up on purpose because he knows fans are simple.. you like basketball or dont.. youre good or not good at basketball etc.
