Description
On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall conversation surrounding the Denver Nuggets' NBA Finals win over the Miami Heat. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Co. put the finishing touches on what will go down as one of the great postseason runs in NBA history. Denver was dominant throughout the playoffs and Jokic cemented his status as the Best Player in the World. Given how young this roster is, the expectation is that this Nuggets group will be in the championship mix for years to come. Later, the guys debate whether or not Miami's second run to the NBA Finals in four years should be seen as a win for #HeatCulture. Jason believes the mere fact that Jimmy Butler was able to lead this group of mostly undrafted players to the doorstep of a championship proves that it works, while Rob argues that since the Heat never actually won a title that #HeatCulture is only in our lexicon because nobody really expected much from them to begin with. If both statements are true, how much should we factor a team's expectations into the equation when trying to determine if a season was a success? Are the Heat one of the pre-eminent franchises in the NBA right now? Or, are they more like the 'Moneyball' A's of the NBA? Moreover, did the Nuggets championship prove that you need a legitimate superstar (like Jokic) to win a championship in today's NBA?
