The Rise of Nikola Jokic in Denver Nuggets History.

The sports media has consistently undermined Nikola Jokic's rise in the NBA, labeling him a postseason choker and stat-padder. However, with the Denver Nuggets having a 97% chance of winning the NBA Finals and Jokic likely to be crowned Finals MVP, the media will have to move the goalpost to continue their negative narrative. The media's reluctance to acknowledge Jokic's dominance may be due to racial undertones, as a majority-black NBA TV media is averse to proclaiming a white player the best in a majority-black league.
