In this episode, I will be discussing Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Jokic has won back-to-back MVP awards, and it is looking like he will win yet another MVP award. He has been going triple-double crazy this year, and his team is 23-0 when he has one. Where will that put him on the all-time greats list? The LA Lakers are going to have to lock in and get wins now. They are 12th in the Western Conference, and they are four games back of the 4th seeded Phoenix Suns. They have to heavily rely on Anthony Davis and the guys they traded for, like D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Malik Beasley. Anthony Davis has to tap back into that top five player in the league mode to get the job done without LeBron. The Phoenix Suns will have a lot of pressure on them to win right now. With the addition of Kevin Durant, they now have Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton on the same team. And not to mention, they have one of the best coaches in the NBA on the bench. Will the Suns end up getting back to the NBA Finals with this group? The New York Knicks have been playing great basketball as of late, and they are looking like they can compete with the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle have been playing very well together, and Jalen Brunson has brought that excitement back into Madison Square Garden. Will they have a chance to compete for a championship? Listen to hear what I have to say!
