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.

Definitely there was lots of racist cards against Jokic cause he's white and TV "analyst "were saying dumb shit like "Hes not a guy who deserves 3 mvps in a row " creating stupid narrative.

It was better for Nuggets to chill after that and focus on playoffs anyway Jokic shut up haters fast having one of most dominant playoff runs by a single player ever
