The NBA playoffs have been fire. Of course, the Lakers are going fishing. The Sixers are probably going fishing. And the Celtics now have an easy path to the finals. But the biggest news to come out of round 1 so far is the Denver Nuggets are saving basketball.
In this episode, I talk about how Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are using old school basketball to win games that the analytics nerds said couldn't win anymore. And why building a team like the Nuggets is more likely to win a championship than trying to put together random superstars and hoping it works out.
Finally, I discuss the legacy of Kevin Durant and the biggest reason why he didn't win more championships in his career.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
00:58:21 - Playoff intensity and why the NBA can't go back to boring regular seasons
7:54 - Denver Nuggets are saving basketball
11:32 - Don't do Jamal Murray like Scottie Pippen
22:20 - Kevin Durant needed Draymond to win not Steph
33:26 - Big 3s and superteams are dead right?
37:00 - Anthony Edwards is my new favorite player
