There’s been a lot of speculation on the Denver Nuggets run at the end of last season, and why they looked so terrible compared to the playoffs. Although the more optimistic fans figured it all stemmed from having the 1 seed wrapped up and knowing they can flip the switch Kronke confirms it started with the media MVP talk.

On the DNVR Show team President Josh Kronke confirms Jokic let up intentionally due to the MVP stories in the media, and wanted to focus on the playoffs.

Although I cut the clip, Kronke spoke more to Jokic mentality but also Adam Mares mentions it probably helped as the team went into the playoffs with less stress, which I agree with.

The way the Nuggets played and tanked the end of the season was obviously the best way and nobnody can debate that. It obviously worked big time as they where ready and raring to go come playoff time. I think everyone can agree a ring is so so much better than an MVP. Notsure why anyone would put that down.
