Who's here after MPJ dropped 67 Pts and 25 Rebounds in 2 games? Love my Nuggets
Here because you definitely a big reason why we in the finals 🫡
This was a steal 👌🔥
INVESTING HUSTLER - Stocks Money Entertainment on paper anyway, for now.
It’s a pick thrown away, he’s never gonna be a starter on any team, ever, mark my words
P T you don't know Shit lmao so stop it
P T even if he doesn't pan out the nuggets are good. They barely missed the playoffs and they're future is bright. This was a gamble they could take.
Lol.. Too bad Liangelo didn't get drafted. He could've been a "STEAL" too. 😉
This is a bad draft class, Ben Simmons shouldn’t have a problem winning ROY ....
Lakers LMFAO FUCKING W
Lakers Or even Liangelo getting drafted. Oh wait...
Lmao
I’m a Ben Simmons fan and I still find this shit hilarious
I can see 50 other comments like this in the next few weeks already. Bring on the copy and pasters
Man Nuggets about to be the next superteam, at least all were drafted by Denver, happy for them
KaGOAT Leonard #Kawhi4MVP #LocKdown #The K2aw 🤔
No
Not Milsap
Mopey lmao ik but you get the point
Should have went to Cleveland
Nuggets got a squad lowkey
SKI MASK NIGGA #GIMMIETHATSHIT highkey
Jamal Murray
Gary Harris
Michael Porter Jr.
Paul Millsap
Nikola Jokic
They gonna suck on defense though
YOUNGBULL atleast they have Harris who plays defense
and Millsap but he old
SKI MASK NIGGA #GIMMIETHATSHIT 💯 if Paul millsap was healthy they would’ve made the playoffs
IT Added now !
If he's healthy this could be on the the biggest steals EVER. hopefully the kid can stay healthy.
Yuuppp
Jokic is the biggest steal of all time
Factos amigo
Mpj is the future denver was already good they just got even better. Young team coming up just like the 6ixers much respect good pick.
#LetsGoDenver💙💛💪🏿
R A G H I B Now we just need 23 to sign up...40% Earl Boykins said it lol..
R A G H I B Thanks for complimenting Philly too fam👍
R A G H I B LeBron you are next

Fantastic young Man

Love this kid. So good to see him doing so well and do much healthier 🙏🏾
Am here we our mpj is a nba champion been following dude since high school im excited for him well deserved💯🤲🏽🏆🎯
NBA Champion with the Denver Nuggets in 2023🔵🟡⚪️🏔🏆
And now he is emerging as one of the most efficient scorers. Him and Joker are a deadly duo. Good for Denver, their drafting and player development are spot on
Then u have Jamal murray? Holy lord help anyone the nuggets are playing fully healthy
@@s_tool3613they just won a chip n idk if any of them are 30 yet jok might not even be 28 yet
The Nuggets gambled on him, paid off 🙌
Denver’s patience and trust paid off 👌
He’s a very efficient scorer, possess excellent off-ball movement
17 ppg 54% FG%, 44% from 3 point line 🔥🔥
18 now
This man so talented he might even help Denver win a championship
You would have thought the League learned from Joel Embiid that it can pay off with sitting a guy for a year and letting him return full throttle with his skill set refined and body explosive and strong.
Best player on the draft Nuggets to the playoffs
dudes a champ now :)
He is kd without the snake
I am so happy for him for winning a ring i hope he will get better during the off season
YEAHHHH MIKE NBA CHAMPION
NBA champ
Porter Jr and Tatum are gonna be the most talented small forwards in the NBA 🏀
Now mpj is bout to win a chip
Who came here after Jokic set the bar to MVP
Finals bound 💪💪.
Now they’re in the finals 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And I am here after his first 37,30 and 27 points in the bubble.
Then what happened
:) This is a true blessing for the Denver Nuggets.
He looks like a very kind hearted kid
DONT SLEEP ON THIS MAN
Superstar in the making
Dropped a 39 point career high last night along with 8 threes and 3 blocks. Superstar in the making.
Murray Harris Porter millsap Jokic, that's tough
Huge steal. Guys humble , even his highschool highlights he wasn't taunting other players. Guys deffenitly got the chance to be the best player in the draft.
Denvers Durant
Pat Bev sitting up there not knowing he was gonna get beat by the nuggets in 2 years is awesome
2021 anyone?
He’s stats will be
17 ppg 6 reb 3 ast 1 blk
YoungAli not this year. Hes pulling a Ben Simmons and waiting next year to avg that against that trash class next year lol
His stats will be 18.7 mpg, denver kinda already has a rotation...maybe one year he will tho not next season
Shoulda been the second pick lol. Most upside of anyone in the draft despite the injury risk, next Donovan Mitchell. Reminds me of Brandon Roy + Blake Griffin
DFLOW's NBA Talk subscribe to my channel and ill subb back
Hope he doesn’t remind us of the injury-ridden part of Brandon Roy tho...
That’s such a wack comparison
Neh durant and kuzma
Actually Brandon Roy was his head coach in high school
Bro gonna be a killer ima watch more nuggets games
Who's here after MPJ made his leap and just had an incredible 20-21 season?
Michael Porter Jr " My back, my back is broken"
-Spinal
holy shit is that an OGmike tyson quote
CLASSIC
🤣🤣
Lmaooo
nash had back issues too..big deal
The new face of the NBA , in five years provided his talents are fully realized!
This man handsome as hell. No homo
I'm glad someone said it lol
😂😂😂
Ahmed Ali 😂😂😂
Lmfao
The HH lol that nigga ugly asf . What u smokin ?
Dude is gonna tear up the league if he stays healthy
Nuggets if managed right is a upcoming dynasty. Young talent better than the Bum lakers
Darryl K lmao nicca plz slow ya roll, denver bums ain't going nowhere
#staywoke✊🏽
IronLyanGamer007 Jamal Murray > lonzo
G Harris > KCP
MPJ < Ingram (for the time being)
Millsap > randle
Jokic > lopez
Nuggets 4 lakers 1 🤷♂️
Jack Attack0317 kcp ain't a laker no more either soo..only thing y'all got is murray?😂😂#staywoke
Hell naw lol
This is the steal of the draft! I hope him to be healthy and a great baller in the next level
Who is here at 2021? :)
Being Denver's best draft ever would be an impossible thing to even say this days after what Jokic has been doing.
Don’t forget Melo
MPJr. will have a good rookie season - First
Could be the steal of the draft but he's made of glass
Brandon Dial he's had one injury dumbass
A 19 year old with back problems isn't exactly a good sign dumbass. Why do you think so many teams passed on him?
It was an injury. If he was playing like a top level athlete for so long his back does did not have problems.
He just injured it he'll be good watch
hes a kid scout expert. Wait until he bulks up. With his skill set he will become an all star one day count on it
Murray and MPJ. That could actually be a deadly duo. Too bad nobody wants to play in Denver.
Denver is lovely city.
No one wants to play at Denver... Don't worry man. With the right tutelage and keeping the team healthy, then this Denver Nuggets team will be deadly and slept on. Jamal Murray and Gary Harris are proving to be a underrated backcourt. Both can hit threes and with more time, can improve from their weaknesses. Same can be said for the front court. Nikola Jokic is a underrated star and will be the lead of the franchise. Millsap might be getting on the old side, but he can get replaced. However, he's an established veteran Star who can stretch the floor and old school bully in the paint. Finally, add Michael Porter Jr. who has elite potential to be a great player with his body, athleticism, sharpshooting, and now being dropped to number 14 motivating him... Watch out. And this is coming from a Chicago Bulls fan who wanted MPJ.
Hi Lucas The teams i see being Deadly in a few years.
-Suns
-Knicks
-Nuggets
-Mavericls
-Hawks
Should have went to Cleveland
must be the altitude?
It would be such a steal for nuggets if MPJ could stay healthy
He's a Champion Forever .........
He's great, but picking Jokić with the 41st pick is one of the best picks in the history of the league
U know why I'm here🐐
If I'm Denver I'm sitting him out till next season so he can definitely come back 100%
He forget there was machine that was called Nikola Jokić😉
Teams are going to regret passing on my guy 😤
Denver Nuggets potential 2018-19 starting lineup is gonna be 🔥!
PG: Jamal Murray
SG: Gary Harris
SF: Michael Porter Jr. *
PF: Paul Millsap
C: Nikola Jokic
And now we got an arguably better team. Heading to the finals!
1. Bamba
2. Bagley
3. Doncic
4. Mpj
5. Trae young
6. Kwame ayton
What were the 76ers thinking injuries are our specialty take him wtf
Convey Dcuo agree sixer will regret not picking him up, imagine healthy Simmons, embid, and MPJ
Is this ms duco
Just dropped 37 and 12 today
A bit surprised that he lasted that long. He can be a bust but outside of top 7, he is worth a gamble. Clippers could have used one of picks...
My dude will be a MVP in 5 years. Mark it down!
IM MIKES BARBER PROUD OF YOU!!!
I know this is an old post but you must live with this guy he clean for every game!
This brother got the back of Alexis Texas
High risk, high reward. Clipper shouldve took the risk on this one, because they got 2 picks. If he turn out to be good, clipper is gonna punch themselves on that one.
Jack G more like medium risk. Its only 14 th pick for potentially 3rd best player. Even if he averages 1pt per game its not that bad for nuggets. They still have a good young team
It’s a 14th pick medium risk
You guys are right. Im still in that thought process where he is a top 8 pick.
@#LoSLakersFan 28 Ben Simmons lol
I really hope things turn out good for this dude! good luck brother
Whos here now?
How u let this guy slip all the way fown to the nuggets
MPJ wanted to be the best draft pick in the history of the Nuggets. That goes to Joker and then Jamal, but he's right after that. There is still time. I knew when they drafted him, it was going to be a heck of a ride. We didn't know what a good person and teammate he was. He's a crucial part of the culture and the team in Denver.
future mvp candidate
You’re balling out this season, mate. Overcame those back issues and should honestly be MIP this year.
This is lovely to watch in 2020. What a steal
wow the nuggets rob the entire league with picking MPJ
Nuggets so lucky with their picks
He’s so happy 😂
NBA Champion.
If the Nuggets could draft a front office......
Nuggets are the best drafting team in the last 10 years 💯
I hate when people questions people’s motivation and drive. They act like he didn’t work his whole life to perfect his craft and then he’s gonna take it easy and coast in the nba. All this is non sense they said that about Ben Simmons 2 years ago and now he’s one of the best in the league.
Hope MPJ will going to be good and he prove them wrong. Im a fan of his. Congrats nuggets fan
It’s funny how I liked Bagley in high school better now. I find myself rooting for porter because he’s the underdog
He bout to wreak havoc on the league 👊💢💣💥🔥🔥💪
I knew he was gone be a steal on everything 🤷🏾♂️ ever since high school plus he got the same bday as me
The Knicks should have picked MPJ. Big city. Big name college player. Big offensive talent.
He is young..hoping that body can recover and hold up. It's still exciting to look forward though. Denver is good already, so he doesn't have to log in heavy minutes..Hope that mile high air can do wonders for his health.
His game reminds me of kevin Durant
If he hasn't any injuries maybe he will be a number 1 overall pick
Best Nugget Hoodie Melo,😎
Yes finally ESPN is going to talk about the nuggets now! :)
I hope have great career
Champ!
GOOOOO NUGGETS WOOOOO
The Chicago Bulls should have select him or the NY Knicks
