After Denver’s dominating victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, it feels as if the Heat is a prop in the championship coronation of the Nuggets.
But here’s the rub. Larry’s got three rings. Jokic appears to be closing in on his first. When assessing careers in totality, there’s a gap that needs to be closed. But if the Nuggets do what they’ve talked about privately, this year’s run won’t be an aberration. It will, instead, be the norm. In the here and now, I like thinking about Jokic vs. Dirk Nowitzki, or Jokic vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo.
I tell my pals watching the Nuggets for the first time these last few weeks not to think about Joker in the context of Bird, but as more of a slowed-down, bigger version of Larry Legend’s old buddy Magic Johnson. Like Magic, the offense runs through Jokic. Like Magic, the Joker’s got eyes in the back of his head. And like a young Earvin, Joker’s revolutionizing the idea of what a center can/should do. Bird’s health cratered pretty quickly after age 31.
