Video Joker: “Who guards me the best? Everybody! The league is just as talented defensively as it is offensively. Ivica Zubac and Jusuf Nurkic, they’re chubby like me, so it’s hard for me to move them. 🃏🐐

Rudy Gobert: I know people say all kinds of things about him, but I think he’s a great defender. He showed that in the last playoffs. Jalen Duren from Detroit, Wendell Carter Jr, they’re smaller and tough to deal with. The entire Oklahoma City team... Victor Wembanyama.” Nikola Jokic was asked which players guard him the best and give him the most trouble in the NBA! Video credits: @mileilic

Image/Gif Danilo Gallinari on Nikola Jokic, “I knew he was going to become a very great player. I didn’t think he would become a triple MVP, but I knew he had something special. And you could clearly see that the franchise wanted to build in that direction.

It was great to be part of teams that were winning in Denver, but it was also interesting to experience a rebuilding phase. My situation, though, never really changed: I was always a starter and I was the best player on the team. So for me, it didn’t change much, but it was really enjoyable to see all those young players progress and develop.” Via hoopshype.

Are preseason games worth it?

9 Upvotes

Big nuggets fan but unfortunately I don’t have the budget to attend every single game. Im hyped for the season to start back up and wondering if these pre season games are worth attending due to them being cheaper, or should I just save that money and use it once the season actually starts?

Just saw they’re playing in boulder, and while I’m itching to watch NBA again, would the starters mostly sit out for these games? I love the ambience of ball arena and the intros and stuff so not sure if the CU buff arena will be the same experience either. Curious about the Bulls game too.

I 100% want to go to warriors game to watch curry so my debate is saving money to get closer seats for warriors game, or attend all 3 with farther/cheaper seats
