2023 NBA Finals Recap: Denver Nuggets Beat Miami Heat | Pro Fan Talk | A2D Radio

The NBA Finals have ended, and congratulations to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on their first NBA title in franchise history by beating Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in five games! Although Joel Embiid took home the regular season MVP trophy, it was Nikola Jokic who won the Finals MVP by shattering many playoff records that included having two triple-doubles throughout the Nuggets’ playoff run. In today’s NBA, the playoffs REALLY matter and Jokic made his case for him being a three-time MVP. Does Jokic’s impressive finals run, does mean that Jokic is a far superior big man than Joel Embiid? On the losing side of the ball, what does the Heat’s finals run mean for Jimmy Butler? Butler was a part of two Finals series during his time in Miami, falling short in both, what does that mean for his legacy going forward? It has been more than two weeks since the Philadelphia 76ers hired Nick Nurse as their newest head coach, with the dust settled, how is Nurse going to be different than Doc Rivers? How will that impact Joel Embiid’s future as a Sixer? Joining Markus is Jumaine Jones, a former player in the NBA who played from 1999-2007. Jumaine will give his thoughts on the “Jokic vs Embiid” debate, how he would fair in today’s NBA, his experiences abroad, and playing with Allen Iverson and against Kobe Bryant.
