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.

        Get over the sweep bro, you Laker’s fans are still salty over it. Im sure adding the great Gabe Vincent will make a big difference.

        Beating the Lakers in many ways meant just as much as beating the Heat given their history. They’ve matched up 8 times in the playoffs and 4 of those were the conference finals. Last year was the only time they’ve beaten them.

        And Stan not Josh is the one who owns Altitude Sports and Entertainment. Which is who Vic Lombardi works for. Dude isn’t even a Nuggets team employee.
