The BIGGEST differences between last year’s Denver Nuggets & now
10/10/24 • 58 min
Russell Westbrook is making his presence felt alongside Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets. But he isn’t the only thing new about this year’s team. Michael Porter Jr. is also stepping into a few new roles that will see him take on some of KCP’s former responsibilities. Aaron Gordon might also find himself doing something new. And Peyton Watson spoke to the Denver media at Nuggets practice today about how he envisions becoming “more of a hooper” in year two.
The DNVR Nuggets podcast team shares notes on all of that and other topics surrounding the Nuggets in NBA preseason.

NBA GM Survey: Nobody believes in the Denver Nuggets | DNVR Nuggets Podcast
Nikola Jokic is no longer the favorite to win the NBA’s MVP award, according to the latest survey of all 30 GMs. The Denver Nuggets are no longer favored to win the Western Conference and are nowhere to be found to win the NBA Championship. Michael Malone, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. are all absent in their respective categories. So is everyone sleeping on the Nuggets? Or are they just seeing are harsh truth?
Plus, Russell Westbrook has more stans than any player that has come to the Denver Nuggets since Jokic arrived in 2015. What are we learning about stan culture? And is there something entertaining about it that points to a simpler time in NBA Fandom?
