Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back. It's Rich Eisen show basketball podcast Brockman here as always joined by Adam T.J

What's up guys? What's going on? I'm just cracking what's cracking. We're in purple today for the celebration. I'm just kidding.

It's over guys. The NBA season is officially concluded. The Denver Nuggets or your NBA champions in five games just like I'm

taking out the Miami heat. Is that what you said Denver in five? Oh, beginning of the season.

At the very, very beginning for the first game. How are you guys going to remember this NBA season? Is it for the greatness that we saw from

Yokeuch in Denver all year or is it something else, Adam? It has to be the coronation of Yokeuch becoming arguably the number one player in the league. I think most people

think he's that guy right now and cementing his legacy. You know, when players don't win championships, there's always that doubt. There's always that. Oh, well, this guy didn't get

it done. You know, he was a great player, but he never won a ring. And now Nicola Yokeuch has a ring. If he doesn't win one more

ring, the rest of his career, it doesn't matter. He still won a ring and he's an all time great. And he's cemented that status by winning this

championship this year. That's a good take. T.J. What do you think about that? Well, you know, neither of my teams won. So this year's

a lot of people just discovered that guy. It's seemingly in the last three months. The man had two previous MVP seasons, arguably one or two, first of the

second best player during the regular season this year. As the season concluded, it was obviously was number one. So if you're someone who

paid attention and knew that this guy had been good for a very long time, but what he did in these playoffs was was pretty outstanding. But I brought this point up on the

big show earlier today. You know, I look back to last year's nuggets team. And, you know, they lost to the Warriors who went on the win the

championship, obviously. But Joker last year averaged 31 13 and six somewhat similar numbers to what he put up this year in the

playoffs for the regular season in that in that playoff series against the Warriors. So he put up similar numbers. But I think the key was the

resurgence in the return of Jamal Murray, because as you know, bubble Murray looked like he was on his way to becoming an all time great

blue out his knee, which was just you hate to see, especially when the players that great get hurt. It took him two years. I'm sure a rich at some

point was complaining that he was load managing, but no, he was just trying to get his body back his knee back. And then you see what Jamal

Murray did. He was definitely a piece that was necessary, because last year, I think they're their second top score was Will Barton, you

know, so having Murray in there in addition to what Joker was already giving you, that was a hell of a one, two punch man. And they definitely they were they were head and

soldiers above everyone. Yeah, yeah, you throw an Aaron Gordon deal was awesome for him. Awesome for the nuggets. Big guy able to rebound
