    I'm with you Wildes. The Nuggets are 3-0 but most of the segment is about the Lakers and LeBron. What? This is why the Nugget's market remains small. Even when they do well the media will not talk about them and their stars. The NBA needs to market their stars better because waiting on the LA/NY media to do it will never come.

    • @JB-tp6uj
      @JB-tp6uj Год назад

      ...or the Nugget's market is small because their population, fans and championship history doesn't measure up to the Lakers in any way. This is not a conspiracy against the Nuggets. The same thing would happen if the Lakers were losing to Sacremento, Minnesota, Utah and nearly any other team in the west. The reality is the Nuggets don't have a marketable star. Jokic is a superstar, but he's not very marketable. Murray is your best chance of having both a star on and off the court.

    It’s clearly not all his fault. And yes he is 38. But I don’t think Lebrons numbers tell the full story. His impact on these games has been minimal. Both offensively and defensively. Hard to win when you are banking on Austin Reeves and Rui to carry you down the stretch.

    • @leroyrodgers6089
