A non-negligible factor as to why nuggets won - an injured bron
no lol
That and starting point guard averaged 6. People aren't ready to admit he'd have 2 more lakers rings if he wasn't injured.
A non inured Bron could have maybeeee maybeee push it to six. But Denver would have ended in 5 regardless on average.
Bron's averaging good numbers vs lottery teams but that average goes out of the window vs a contender like Denver or Milwakee.1
I’m a Lebron Stan and idk if we can say they’d have a guaranteed 2 more lol. I think the nuggets series was way closer than it ended up looking, but still.
If we're adding an "injury" asterisk for the Nuggets ring then the Bucks 2021 ring might as well not even exist lol
You could do this for every single championship if you wanted to
“Non-negligible” is the operative term, doesn’t seem like they are saying put an asterisk on it.
I think that Nuggets team beats us anyway. But with a healthy Bron foot we’re at least stealing a game or two.
A healthy Bron obviously changes the equation, but I think you’re right. That Nuggets team just looked on a different level all throughout the playoffs
Jokic even on his worst playoffs nights was still putting up monster numbers.
