Nuggets & Timberwolves tied up after Denver’s Game 4 win 🏆 Malone & Finch speak | SportsCenter 

Mainstream media were so excited to hail Ant as the next face of the league, Despite Joker winning his 3rd MVP and just won a ring last year. They're definitely not happy with this Nugget win 🤣

That half court shot and defiant pose by Murray was COLD ASF 🥶

That lakers series really dumbed down the nuggets. They are finally awake.😂😂😂

As soon as Barkley called it a sweep i about bet $1000 on the Nuggets. He is a curse 😂

Funny to see wolves looking for the whistle. Do you want physical basketball or not? Can't have it both ways.

Denver remembered who they were: champions. That Game 2 beatdown and the media saying the series was over was all it took to wake up the sleeping giant.

ESPN could not wait to replace Jokic, Luka and Giannis with SGA, and ANT....

Nuggets are still the Defending Champs for a Reason.

Dont EVER underestimate the heart of a Champion.

Can’t wait to hear all the backtracking tomorrow on First Take after everyone already gave the Timberwolves the crown.

It's THE JOKER and AG SHOW in GAME 4. JOKIC had a DOMINANT GAME (35pts 7rebs 7assists 3steals) and took over with 16pts in the 4th Quarter. SUPER EFFICIENT GAME by AG (27pts on 11/12 FG > 92%, 2/2 3pt FG > 100% 😱, 7rebs 6assists 2blocks 2steals). HE LOCKED UP and contained RUDY GOBERT, and played the BEST PLAYOFF GAME of his NBA CAREER. SALTY SHAQ'S OPINION is IRRELEVANT, JOKER proved he's the REAL MVP. The 2nd UNIT/BENCH stepped up OFFENSIVELY and DEFENSIVELY. REMARKABLE COLLECTIVE TEAM EFFORT. Congrats DENVER NUGGETS 👏

Jokic ate up gobert like a croissant 🥐

Jamal with the deep half court buzzer beater then stare down to Kevin Harlan and Jamal Crawford 🔥🔥 never hate on that guy. He uses it as fuel

If the Nuggets win this series, Shaq's blatant 'direct to his face disrespect' to Jokic will be huge reason why. That comment really lit a fire under the Nuggets and finally woke them up from their slumber. The whole team took that comment personally. Shaq poked the sleeping bear

Ant showed up big time but Denver losing game 1 & 2 was wake up call for them. Wolves got to realise Denver the defending champs for a reason

Nuggets in six. The Joker is the most unique player in the NBA.

This Nuggets show was absolutely Insane🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊

Everyone thought Minnesota going to sweep Denver.. We have a series now .. I think Denver going to win this series.. they are the defending champs

They gonna eat crow tomorrow morning on first take 😂

There is NO WAY !!!!! Anyone Can tell me that Okc or Dallas would come back from a 2-0 deficit to Minnesota at home then go to Minneapolis to win two straight as Denver just did

I love coach mike Malone. His a badass man 😊

this why he is mvp

The Nuggets are like an Boss, come out of the smoke, after a beatdown.

jokic,murray n mike malone are sure in hof...but if AG continues to play like this mybe he can mke a statement n b a hall of famer..the guy is literally guarding the best player of every teams from 1 to 5...i think he is better than draymond

Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves acting like Minnesota was gonna just sweep the champs and takeover the NBA smh.

Really nice to watch the Nuggets playing beautiful synergetic basketball.

Defend home court. Let's go Nuggets

I admire coach Malone hes very tough likable

Shaq called Jokic out and so he responded. 😂

The media is gonna have a panic attack they hate Yokic so much

Where is Barkley now? 😂😂😂

Ant-man got dunked on by the Joker🤯

October 2018 Jimmy Butler's performance Wednesday at the Minnesota Timberwolves' practice will go down in history. The disgruntled swingman took the floor for the first time since he requested a trade last month and went about systematically embarrassing his teammates, particularly Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Butler reportedly yelled out "they ain't s--t" and "they soft" at Wiggins and Towns, as he led third-stringers to victories over the staring unit. "He can't do s--t against me!" Butler exclaimed at one point when defending Towns in the post, per Haynes. Towns ultimately kicked the ball out on the possession. "A lot of it is true," Butler told ESPN's Rachel Nichols. "I haven't played basketball in so long. I'm so passionate. I don't do it for any reason but to compete. All my emotion came out in one time. Was it the right way? No! But I can't control that when I'm out there competing. That's raw me, me at my finest, me at my purest. Inside the lines." Butler admitted he has targeted Towns and Wiggins with harsh criticism. He insinuated he gets on the two young players because he sees them not playing as hard as he does-while acknowledging their talent. "Am I being tough on him? Yeah, that's who am I," Butler said. "I'm not the most talented player on the team. Who is the most talented player on our team? KAT. Who is the most God-gifted player on our team?Wiggs. ... Who plays the hardest? Me! I play hard. I put my body [on the line] every day in practice, every day in games. That's my passion. Everybody leads in different ways. That's how I show I'm here for you." _ Minnesota finally found their DAWG in Ant 🐜. Too bad his best teammate is still a KITTYKAT. Speaking of dogs, Michael Malone is going to the HoF as a head coach. I didn’t know he is from Queens, New York. You can hear his accent when greeting his mom and wife a Happy Mother’s Day. Yeah, Denver is winning it all. Jokic is consistently awesome. The best player in the NBA and a 3x MVP. Jamal Murray is the most clutch player in basketball. They might end up being a better duo than Shaq and Kobe. They have better synergy. It feels more natural. Kobe wasn’t a natural point guard. So there was always some reluctance running all the offense through Shaq. Penny was a better fit with Shaq. While Jokic doesn’t have an offensive weakness like Shaq had. He can make threes and free throws. He’s a better passer than Shaq. Add Queens native, Michael Malone, who instills confidence in them. New York bred coaches tends to be pretty great… Red Auerbach: Brooklyn, NY Red Holzman: Brooklyn, NY Pat Riley: Rome, NY Lenny Wilkens: Brooklyn, NY Larry Brown: Brooklyn, NY Mark Jackson: Brooklyn, NY Michael Malone: Queens, NY Riles was closer to Albany than NYC but you can still hear a NY accent from him when he coached the Knicks. Hubie Brown was born in Pennsylvania but grew up in New Jersey closer to Newark. Rick Pitino is also from NYC like David Stern and Adam Silver. Makes you wonder about Kareem? Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr. was from Harlem. He could’ve been a good coach but his personality seems to be too soft because he admitted in his 2015 doc that he’s very shy. Kareem was an assistant coach for my Clippers back in 2000. Smart Lakers fans should want MARK JACKSON. Not the inexperience coming from JJ Redick. Steve Nash was a better player than JJ and look how he turned out as a head coach with zero experience prior. Magic Johnson also failed at coaching as he had zero experience prior. That Michael Malone knows what’s up…. "It's always an ongoing argument about who is the GOAT. Michael obviously is up there and is the greatest of all time." "There are not many Michael Jordans out there. I coached LeBron James for five years and have a great relationship with him. LeBron did not have the same mindset or killer mentality that Michael Jordan is supposed to have had. But LeBron James is arguably the greatest of all time as well..." "Michael Jordan was not just a great player. He would reach into your chest and pull your heart out if he had to win a game. You don’t see that really often. He had that killer mindset and brought it every single night. That’s why all of these many years later, he’s the greatest of all time." Michael Malone now has that killer in Jamal Murray.

This series probably bout over now 💯

The call on that half court shot from Harlan with Murray right in front of him is cold af.

1:42 MVP over 3 guys, still better

Wolves in lamb's clothing😂 Nikola Jokić 💪🏀👑🃏

I WANNA HEAR AGAIN "WOLVES IN 4" chants at our home again. Where are you pupppies fans? ehhhhhh we got a series now

Never underestimate the will of a champion! Joker MVP switch turned on the previous game + Gordon with that shooting efficiency + Murray daggers + defense that can't be unfocused and bench that MUST contribute every game = it speaks what is needed and how much Minnesota is a tough team to beat! Joker is basketball MONSTER! So elite decisions, touch, playmaking, aggression when it's needed the most, unselfish BBall computer. This series is determined by the PO experience that Denver has much more. Hopefully Nuggs in 6 BUT it will be so much joy (for the fans of the game) if this series goes to 7, historically amazing games. PS. Gober is the worst offensive 200+ milions$ player of all time :) Oooh Yes, defence is a thing and his strength, he will stop Jokic :) Oh Well, at this point it seems Joker puts his points and elite moves most easily on this "true" DPOY ;)

I thought Edward’s was Jordan 😂😂😂😂😂😂

SAS just lost his credibility. Why he’s still spitting lies on ESPN😅

I remember the media treated the Warriors like they are treating the Nuggets, because they wanted so badly for LeBron to become the GOAT. The basketball gods had other plans. Jokic is a 3-time MVP and an NBA champion for a reason.

Why the F is murray thr THUMBNAIL AGAIN. One of The GOATS carried this win. Jokic.

If michael jordan played this era his gets sewpet every Single series

That's what champs do, they respond in the face of adversity, good job Denver, but this ain't over yet, Minnesota's tough as nails, they won't roll over and die

Making all the anti-jokic haters at ESPN and TNT eat crow. Maybe they can just cover basketball instead of pushing their agendas.

Waiting for Perk and SAS to tell us the Jokic didn't deserve the MVP. Blatant racist will shut up , the 2 worst analysts. Btw fantastic game, this is actually the finals before the finals, who wins this he wins the title.

Ohhh he finished with 44 in this game and wasn't even close to the win

Malone drops a reference to a great brewery in Greeley Colorado, Weldworks Juicy Bits. Awesome beer.

NUGGETS IN 6!!!! 🦁🦁

Sure SAS Said Edward's was the next jordan surely jordan wouldn't do this

Where is Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A Smith 😂😂😂😂

Jokic to Shaq: "If it helps you sleep better at night, you can have all three of my MVPs, big boy."

You can’t beat team basketball

thank you for the spoiler in the title. Loved it

Thanks Adam for not suspending Mal

My coach so tired he don’t know when’s our next game 😂

Coach Malone said Gordon was the “Weldwerks Juicy Bits player of the game” all time great shoutout. Great beer

the nuggets realized they’re the defending champions.😂😂😂

Denver clutching up

As the song goes...Under pressure. Dang. SADLY..I counted my Bhoyghz out. 😮😮😮😮😮

I thought Nuggets had it in them to win one in Minnesota. Then maybe win one at home and hope to steal game 6 and it'd become one-game series at home. But expect to win both games? Never.

Anyone have any idea about Stephen A's whereabouts?

Aaron Gordon has been the mvp for the last 2 games if he keeps playing like this AG can be the west MVP no doubt!

What a coach! 1,2,3 FAMILY! Speaks volumes of his character mentioning his mother and wife on Mother’s Day!

That 8-0 run to end the half!

Man Edward’s did all he could but no one came along with him. On the other hand, the Nuggets are back and I’m excited. This has potential to be a legendary series.

Joker was telling jokes on the court tonight!!

Jokic is the best player in the league; without question. The boy is just box office.

The best Defense ever and the Wolves are unbeatable. That's all we heard from these new fans and Media. Yeah GL beating Denver 2 more times in their crib. This series might be a wrap. Denver adjusted and executed, while the Wolves are a 1 man show. That's not going to beat a complete team.

I love all the letters AG CB KCP MPJ

What happened? Jamal Murray made a shot (mic drop)

Coach Malone compares Aaron Gordon performance to WeldWerks Juicy Bits Hazy IPA which is an awesome beer and my love for Coach Malone has skyrocketed knowing he's a fan of local craft beer 🍺

Did Barkley guarantee 🤑🫡

In the words of the great Johan Cruyff: Playing basketball is simple, but playing simple basketball is the hardest thing there is! Jokic embodies this!!!

Jamal 'Heatpad' Murray, The perfect villain!

If Jamal doesn't get an All Star appearance before he retires he will go down as likely the most under-rated shooter in NBA playoffs history. Man is CLUTCH.

What happened to all the minnesota grifter comments from last week?

Shaq should be praying that the Nuggets don't win this series and then go on to win the nba finals again with Jokic as the finals MVP 😂

With the way they were playing I don’t blame anyone how said they will get swept.. wolves was in full control

How many days off Gobert needs!?? Will he come back soon?

I picked Denver to win in 6 games and I could be right. Never count out the 3x MVP and playoff Murray!! SAS, Perkins, Wilbon all said it was going to be sweep lmaooooo. They’re going to be mad if Denver wins. Minnesota after going up 2-0 have gotten cold

First team to win 2 of next 3 wins!

better than mj they said 😂😂😂

as i predicted, if the nuggets stay injury-free, they will win thus series. experience, teamwork, clutch players, excellent role players. they have these things better than the rest. then they have jokic. and then murray who seems to play only for the playoffs.😂

If the Nuggets win the first quarter, the Nuggets win. If Gordon scores 25+, the Nuggets win. If Towns gets 25 or more, Reid scores 15, Timberwolves win. Jokic and Murray are gonna get their points, same with Ant-Man.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Don’t know why everyone started bandwagon twolves only was 2-0 talking about a sweep they still are the defending champs

Crystal Akana got me.

The End of the 2nd Quarter Collapse won this Game for Denver

Where are those people who counted us out? What about the guys who said Maury was washed? That Jokic should give back his MVP?

Even taking out his ridiculous half court half timer (c) -Murray was Drrraaining his shots.

Denver completely flipped everything with those 2 wins. All the pressure is on the Wolves right now. The Game 5 winner should decide the series too. I'd be shocked if it doesn't go down that way.

0:54 Butta

🗣️ DEFENDING CHAMPS #2 SEASON RECORD AND MV3 FOR A REASON!!! 😤🃏🏆🏆🏆⚒️🏆🔥🔥🔥

They really have another gear let’s see if the Wolves do too

1 man can’t beat a great squad History repeats itself

People were silly to count out the defending champs so early in the series

From the winning coach to the losing coach 😂😂

Ant isn´t MJ´s son, he´s Jokic´s son.
