The Nuggets with Jokic and company, remind me of the Tim Duncan Spurs (alien.top)

With an all-time great like Jokic, an nba personality that vaguely reminds me of Tim Duncan already, plus outstanding help from skilled players like Murray and Porter Jr. just like how Tim Duncan had Tony Parker and Manu. It sounds like a recipe for a dynasty. Thoughts?

I see the comp you're making but Manu was great defensively, and both him and Tony were legit all-stars. Something Jokic's 2a/2b hasn't even really come close to being thus far.

Also, Tony & Ginobili during prime Spurs era were like 10-20% of the teams cap. Murray & MPJ are 40% of the Nuggets salary. Going to be much harder to construct rosters around those three to be an actual dynasty.

Jamal plays at an All-NBA level in the playoffs. I think it's mostly circumstance that he hasn't made an All-Star team. This year he won't make it again because he missed a month with a hamstring.
