Bron's last two series against the Nuggets

[StrongLurk]

2023 series: 28/10/10, 2.3 steals/blocks, 2.3 turnovers per game, on 60.5 TS%.

2024 series, 28/7/9, 3.4 steals/blocks, 3.8 turnovers per game, on 63.7 TS%

Nuggets out-clutched the shit out of the Lakers in both series which made all the difference, but man Lebron played insanely well. It's insane to think he is performing like that as the oldest guy in the league. This stretch of Nuggets games are his 279th through 287th playoff games too .

Only MJ can be debated as better.

Nuggets have no rim protection since Jokic concedes to not get in foul trouble since he knows his offense can outpace you anyway.

Jokic is the most calculated game manager of all time. He had some good challenges at the rim last night and when he does that it's because he sees the true value of a basket beyond just 2 points. He'll stop pivotal ones to prevent runs for instance. And he has an insane feel on how a game's being called and adjusts accordingly, look at all the playoff games where refs are obviously trying to extend a series by giving Jokic 2 quick fouls and he's able to stay in the game. Jokic and Lebron are the 1a 1b iq's ever... maybe cp3 is in the conversation.

It really is wild. Dude is the oldest player in the league but still a superstar when healthy. His name is going to be seen everywhere for decades going forward when looking at on court ability and production, just like you see with Wilt, MJ, Kareem.

Greatest player of all time.

He did better this time but last year's WCF he was so bad in 4th quarters, it wasn't a good series.

True, but he also wasn't fully healthy at all for all of last years playoffs. This year he was healthy and was able to squeak out enough energy to still play well all game.
