Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray have been huge for the Denver Nuggets' success in the NBA Finals, but Ric Bucher stresses the importance of role-players like Aaron Gordon. Gordon has been instrumental in keeping the Nuggets ahead of the Miami Heat. Plus, what's the future look like for Chris Paul, who could be waived by the Phoenix Suns?

The only issue with teams trying to copy Denver is the fact Jokic is COMING INTO HIS PRIME 😮‍💨🤯🥵

Also i am not sure teams will even try to copy the Joker. Realisticly finding another guy that is a efficient and consistent threat on all levels is close to zero and they know that. And you absolutely need that guy to Top 15 in things offence otherwhise he cannot replicate what the Joker does or means for his team. Think about it this way if you where to find a guy that is 75% Shuaq O`Nell thats instantly a great player you would want. (And we haven`t found such a guy yet) If you find a guy that is 75% Joker you just managed to get a center that is average in all the boring categories of the game. Any competent defence can deal with that kind of player.

I have been a Denver Nugget fan for over 30 years, I want them to win tonight and be champions, and I don't care about a dynasty. However, this is reminiscent of the Washington Redskins in the 80s when Joe Gibbs, then Washington coach, had the first offensive line that averaged 300 pounds each that was athletic (counter trey?). Parcells, then coach of the Giants, said that if there were ever going to get out of the NFC East, they needed to match Washington's line. Same here. If anyone in the West wants to get past the Nuggets, they must rethink their roster composition.

I am very happy for Aron Gorden he had 2 dunk contests stolen from him plus the guy who was given the dunk trophy was his teammate. so Aron Gorden had to go back to a team that was favoring LeVine who (in my opinion) was never better than AG.

Gordon is by far the best POWER Forward in the NBA today. He's todays SHAWN KEMP So Denver has the best Scoring Interior Center and the Best Inside Scoring PF. What do you know they ARE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP JUST LIKE I TOLD EVERYONE that it's all about INSIDE SCORING And not about 3's. Denver would sweep 2017 Warriors. I TOLD EVERYONE FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I Was right. I could tell cause a memphis almost beat the warriors and they are average inside scorers. Give that team Jokic and Gordon and they would've won.

It seems all sports are a very copycat league, but I'd argue that the Nuggets didn't just lay the blueprint for success....the Heat did. Much like soccer, basketball is a sport where a top seeded team is usually going to roll a lot of the time. But the Heat who barely got into the playoffs and on paper just don't have the talent compared to the best teams of the NBA. They have overcome this for the past few years and continually compete. Just because a lot of the media have the Ricky Bobby mentality "if you ain't first, you're last" doesn't mean the bigger takeaway can't come from the team that seems to have just hit the mountain of a far superior talented team. Hats off to you Miami Heat regardless of the finals outcome.
