Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets are favorites to repeat while playing a style that is largely at odds with the modern NBA as it favors genius passing, post play and the mid-range.
The current NBA era of infinite space, no limit three-point variance and the extinction of the classic point guard distributor at the hands of heliocentric gods has been staved off both stylistically and in the form of championships and regular awards by Nikole Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
Jokic does not appear obsessive or particularly ambitious. Whether or not that is actually true, Jokic certainly lacks any degree of self-promotion. Nothing feels performative. Novak Djokovic embraced the villain role against the universal love offered to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, but he did eventually seek out adulation as they retired and faded when he was the only one still standing.
Jamal Murray is essentially a superstar on a discount due to a run of injuries preventing him from qualifying for the supermax. Aaron Gordon took a discount on his extension and is an overqualified do-everything role player. Michael Porter Jr. will likely leave some money on the table for his next extension considering his injury history and where he’s settled in as a designated scorer. Calvin Booth has sent a clear signal he will target cheap play-now role players in the draft.
: the shot lob where he appears to be attempting a shot, but the ball magically drifts just to the edge of the rim for an alley-oop, usually to Aaron Gordon. The other passer from another sport is Patrick Mahomes, both in terms of unflappability in the biggest moments, but also his pure inventiveness in improvisational moments. The most impossible passes are reflexive in the fastest of moments. If the angle isn’t there, Mahomes will create the angle. The mind of Jokic, Messi and Mahomes is never in crisis. It is not preoccupied with legacies.
