Thank you Rome! 🎉 I’m a Colorado native. Been here my whole life… always been a local fan. Broncos have had the hearts of most people in mile high country for obvious reasons (maybe not for much longer). The Avs are champions. Even the Rockies have made it to World Series. It’s so amazing to see the Nuggets hard work and amazing team building pay off. I couldn’t believe what I was watching each morning waking up this past week. 1-0 “The lakers have figured them out” 2-0 “Well the Lakers are undefeated at home.” 3-0 “Well someone has to be the first team to come back from this.” 4-0 sweep. “Is Lebron retiring? The Lakers need Kyrie… blah blah blah.” Refreshing to hear someone actually spit some facts for once in sports talk radio these days. Go Nuggets!
I've lived in Colorado for 41 years and Im devoted Colorado sports fan and Nuggets fan. I'm beyond overjoyed that we have exercised this 46 year ghost. We've earned it and deserve it. I love Rome spitting facts! Always keeping it real! Much love! Thank you for the respect from the Mile High City, the home of NBA Western Conference Finals Champions. 12 down, 4 to go! GO NUGGETS!
Thank you for giving us respect. 43 year Nuggets fan been a long road. Jokic and the Nuggets play beautiful basketball. Our offensive flow rips through teams we play as a team. Jokic is he! 4 more Togo!
Thank you Jim for bringing some sanity to the media today by respecting the Nuggets and not making your show all about LeBron and his “Will he retire?” BS!
THANK YOU!!!! Denver was SO EXCITED last night! Ball Arena was lit!! We had 9500 people screaming for the Nuggets amd they weren't even in town lol This team has it all and the drought IS OVER🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The mile high city, probably a place Jim Rome hasn’t been back too since Shannon Sharpe ripped his shirt off at the tour stop and then ask why Jim still has his on. And I quote : i’m not taking my shirt off after you“ lol. We miss ya Jim Go Nuggets
Romey!!! Damn!! You just sounded like you were from Denver!! Spittin FACTS!! Joker is absolutely the classiest player I have ever witnessed, who stands up for their biggest rival in that moment?! Especially after said rival straight slandered you 2 months prior? Jokic, top human. The Joker. Legend.
@@-sensibleChris then dont play 🤣🤣🤣 the cycle be 1. no help . 2. GM or owner 3. coach 4. role players dont perform. 5. injuries you meat riders are funny af
They were in the final ABA Finals with David Thompson, Dan Issel, and Bobby Jones against Julius Erving of New York Nets in 1976. An exciting series won by the Nets. Of course Erving and Jones went on to win the NBA championship with Philadelphia. The Rockets/Nuggets have had their flashes, but as a Denver native and long time fan I can only say ”GO NUGGETS”!
It sure is the moment we've been waiting for Jim. And I appreciate you for really understanding the context of it's not just the Team they disrespected, they disrespected us for doing what we are supposed to: Believe in OUR Team. So insulting and they are like "eh whatever nice lie" when its pointed out to them. It's crazy how they lose that epiphany but again Thanks Mr. Rome
Anyone braking Wilt Chamberlain records is a monster! Wilt played against 6ft8 competition and he was a monster athlete, but today he's one of the giants and Joker braking records left and right makes him a super monster!
Sort of funny because he spends almost 2 min not talking about the Nuggets and so in the process does start the show with the Lakers. If he had just talked about them first then done his rant about why he delayed talking about Lebron & Co, it would have been what he said, talking about winners. In defense of AD, he had to haul the best player in the world around and no one has slowed him down so far. I think it was more he was overmatched then just taking the days off. I certainly couldn't look very good guarding Jokic.
Thanks for giving props JR. We have been watching and waiting for the nation to see what we already know. Seriously, thanks for giving the Nuggets the recognition they have earned ...we have been wondering what the nation was seeing that we weren't and now we know. They weren't watching. #15 is a revelation for the sport ... all superstars should take a piece of his humbleness and team first attitude.
Gotta give Rome his props, he managed to spend two minutes talking about the Lakers to lead off his show... by explaining how he wasn't going to talk about the Lakers to lead off his show. It's an absolute masterclass in playing to both sides. Hilarious levels of "maverick sports-guy."
Give a big shout-out to Stan kroenke. A Super Bowl victory in LA A Stanley Cup Championship in Colorado. In four games away from an NBA championship. Has that ever been done by one owner
Sounds like Jim Rome got the message from Kendrick Perkins to vote for Embiid. All the fans I've ever talked to during the season said Jokic no question until Kendrick Perkins and then the entire media Talking Heads are picking Embiid. Fans never changed their minds.
Jim, you were right the first time... LeChoke is a loser... he's more about stats than winning. Perfect case is last night. Dude loses nonstop to everyone. 4 out 10 in his prime. Dude is not better than even Kareem.
Dude was playing at about 75% due to the foot injury earlier in the year. The Lakers just did not have the shooters, especially from behind the arc, to keep up with every trash fade away, off balance 3 pointer that Jokic threw up. From the circus shots, and high 3 point percentage to the pro Dwnver officials, it just wasn't going to happen for the Lakers. When fully healthy they are a great team though, but they do need to add a shooter like Tyler Hero.
Well said Rome...looks like hopefully we are gonna be going to a parade in Denver for 2nd straight June-after the Avalanche last yr...though I dont think the Finals will be easy...I do like our chances,especially if its Miami-cuz wed have homecourt,where we are something like 41-4 this yr-when Jokic plays.
Nice job Jim, after talking about how you weren't going to talk about the Lakers first, for 3 and a half minutes, you finally did talk about the Nuggets. And you're right, we shouldn't make fun of Embiid, he's very sensitive and will cry. I mean he's been crying for three years begging us to give him the MVP. I gave this video a like, but you didn't mention the now obvious fact to people around the country, that the NBA tried to give the Lakers the series, by having the refs call ticky tacky fouls against the Nuggets, and let L.A. give hard fouls against Denver, letting them get away with it. Corporate commentators from around the county where so far up the Lakers azz, they almost suffocated.
I heard "I won't vote for Jokic because he can't get out of the 2nd round in the playoffs" over and over and over again. Explaining that the MVP is a regular season award didn't register to many, and it's odd to hear many of the same people who were dinging Jokic's playoff performances now making the claim that MVP is a regular season award to justify handing it to Embiid, whose team actually played better WITHOUT HIM ON THE COURT in the regular season AND playoffs.
The Nuggets didnt just beat the Lakers, they won the Western Conference Finals, swept the Lakers and their leader Jokic won the MVP. Talk about karma. Lebron as great as he is, lost a lot of big games and series. I have no problem calling him a loser, a sore loser at that. Hes been in the finals 10 times but lost 6 of them. He loses more than he wins. That is inevitably part of his legacy. He lost some big series that he should of never have. He let the Mavericks run all over his team. Terry was stickin Lebron and owned him, f*ckin Terry! The fanboys forget about all the losses until they start with the goat argument again, thats when the rest of us let them know all about his list of really bad losses.
Way to go Denver Nuggets, let's stop talking about the Lakers, they lost, give the Nuggets their respect. Nobody team or athlete stays on top all the time, and that includes Lebron people; he had his turn and now it's another team's time. There is a time and season for everything that includes winning and losing. Be happy for the Nuggets, I hope they win...............................05/24/23
Five minutes about Lakers to say you’re not going to start with the Lakers. Sigh. First sentence should’ve been, “How bout those Nuggets!!!” Lakers ignored except to say that Nuggets beat them. “First among equals” is an interesting and historical and even theological way to put it for an Orthodox Serbian. Embiid? Why did I get this in my feed? Whoever thinks Jokic didn’t deserve third straight…
The nba has done a terrible job marketing there stars not named lebron , they're in for a rude awakening when he retires , there ratings are gonna tank
Yeah he did cry his way. I wonder if he's enjoying Cancun or still crying. "Trust the process" lol. The process all the way to getting your coach fired
Stop calling everyone who goes to the Finals "The best player in the world." Jokic is not the best player in the world. Cut this prisoner of the moment s**t out. Denver is the best team in the West, that's it.
Jokic IS the best player in the world, and he has been the last few years, people's eyes are starting to open and see his greatness, It's just taking you a little longer to realize, your a little slow that's ok.

Laker fan here. Denver was the better team. Good luck to them in the finals.
We'll keep it in the west bro.
Thanks! Appreciated. It was a fun 4 games, the best the NBA can show. We'll carry the flag of the West forward!
Ehh they had better chemistry lakers were jus as talented
@@Jc-ly6pe Lakers were much more talented and still got swept.
Thank you
How do you miss Jokic’s greatness? Easy, you’re Kendrick Perkins!
FINALLY! You would think after sweeping the Lakers that the Nuggets going to the finals would be headlined.
Thank you Jim for bringing some sanity to the media today by respecting the Nuggets and not making your show all about LeBron and his “Will he retire?” BS!
This is amazing! Saying Joker is a soul snatcher and that he basically went in the crowd and kicked every Laker fan in the “stick” is gold. 🤣
6:39
Not only the laker fans. That collective groan after than Iconic Jokic shot was from the NBA and media establishment.
About time someone talked about the nuggets first
I'm so happy for Denver Nuggets!
ROME!!!! Always spitting facts.
I mean....the MVP part tho

Honestly, i haven't listened to Rome in about 5 years. I just heard this clip, and it brought back Rome nostalgia. Im once again a clone!!!
…meanwhile, LeBag’s crew be like: “You still the king!”
He played the 2nd half of the season on a foot that needed surgery and still played great.

Jim it's Denver fans. Plural. And you're wrong about MVP. Jokic proved her should've gotten his 3rd straight MVP.
It sure is the moment we've been waiting for Jim.

Thank you Jim, best damn show. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Anyone braking Wilt Chamberlain records is a monster! Wilt played against 6ft8 competition and he was a monster athlete, but today he's one of the giants and Joker braking records left and right makes him a super monster!
Someone said it during the game, anytime you pass Wilt in anything we should all pause and think about what just happened.
Sort of funny because he spends almost 2 min not talking about the Nuggets and so in the process does start the show with the Lakers. If he had just talked about them first then done his rant about why he delayed talking about Lebron & Co, it would have been what he said, talking about winners.

Has that ever been done by one owner
i really think Denver will win the championship.
Kick in the stick to everyone in attendance lmfao. Jim Rome is a legend. Please produce more content!
Nobody cared that Embid won MVP.
Sounds like Jim Rome got the message from Kendrick Perkins to vote for Embiid. All the fans I've ever talked to during the season said Jokic no question until Kendrick Perkins and then the entire media Talking Heads are picking Embiid. Fans never changed their minds.
You just did lead with that Jim!
RIGHT ON, ROME
Need more ROME SHOW. the str8t TRUTH 💯💯
Jim as always ur the best
Yup..super disturbing damn near every media narrative is focused on Lakers
Talked for a long time about how he wasn't gonna talk about the Lakers
😅😆🤣😂🤣😆😅😅😆🤣🤣
Yeah that whole retirement BS is to keep the attention on him what a selfish person. You got swept put that in your pipe and smoke it Lebron 😂😂😂
Says he's not going to lead with the Lakers. Leads with Lakers lol
The Nuggets did an outstanding job on the Lakers so ....let the blame game begin with the LA Lakers😆
He is using that retirement as an excuse to deflect attention!

@@-sensibleChris so many excuses his entire career. LeChoke loses. it's what he does best. sorry.
This is a terrible take. He's 38 and played the entire game. All things considered, he did all he could.
@@matthewrutters6842 was he 38 in 2011, when he made a superteam but got destroyed by a 1 all star Dallas team?
@@kingtrawalWhy do they always make excuses!?!

On the point.
Why is anyone surprised that LeBron took the opportunity to make everything about himself? It's what he always does, with everything.

"What do you want me to call them? WINNERS?!? That would make me a LIAR!"
So you spent several minutes talking about them again . Credibility in national media is disappearing as fast as the lakers
Good take.
I heard "I won't vote for Jokic because he can't get out of the 2nd round in the playoffs" over and over and over again. Explaining that the MVP is a regular season award didn't register to many, and it's odd to hear many of the same people who were dinging Jokic's playoff performances now making the claim that MVP is a regular season award to justify handing it to Embiid, whose team actually played better WITHOUT HIM ON THE COURT in the regular season AND playoffs.

😎 JOKER for the Championship!
You're saying you're not going to start with the losers... then you go on talking about them Rome... just saying
Kinda sounds like you lead with that...

I grew up on Rome
Im so glad to be out of SoCal andthose stupid Homer flags.

Listening to Rome is about as interesting as watching stale bread soak in sour milk. LeBron should continue, Rome should retire.

Who’s the best? Prob going to say embiids scrub ass
Jokic is best!
I think you misunderstood! He said he IS best player! Jokic is the best player. That sounds ok
Jokic IS the best player in the world, and he has been the last few years, people's eyes are starting to open and see his greatness, It's just taking you a little longer to realize, your a little slow that's ok.
