Beyond Jokic: The Nuggets' Winning Blueprint | Denver Nuggets News
Description
The Denver Nuggets’ championship rise isn’t just Nikola Jokic’s story—it’s a masterclass in team-building. Behind the scenes, coach Michael Malone, GMs Tim Connelly and Arturas Karnisovas, and owner Josh Kroenke crafted a culture where talent meets humility. Assistant coach Ognjen Stojakovic reveals how the front office once compared Jokic to a placeholder versus Larry Bird—proving they saw his transcendent value early. Even as a third-string center, Jokic’s impact per minute was unmatched. With stars like Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. embracing their roles without ego, the Nuggets built a dynasty around basketball IQ, not just stats.
