The Nuggets have no All-Stars except Jokic? Four maximum-paid players are enough to overturn the Thunder with 68 wins!

On May 10, the NBA Playoff Western Conference Semi-Finals G3, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder 113-104 overtime, leading 2-1 with a big score.

It is worth noting that after the two sides entered overtime until 102-102, the Nuggets relied on Jokic, Porter, Gordon and Murray to join forces to handle 11 points, while limiting their opponents to only score 2 points, and finally won the game.

Brothers, I am Lao Liu, a Basketball Special Correspondent, and Aaron Gordon, tied with a three-pointer, allowing the Nuggets to take away a key victory. At the same time, who said Jokic had no help? Although there is no All-Star player, three of them have received maximum salary contracts, and they are all thighs.

Potter Jr. signed a five-year maximum salary contract of 173 million yuan with the Nuggets in the summer of 2021.

Murray signed a four-year maximum salary contract with the Nuggets for 208 million yuan in the summer of 2024.

Godden, in October 2024, signed a four-year maximum salary contract with the Nuggets for 133 million yuan.

In this game, Jokic made 8 of 25 shots, 0 of 10 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and made 8 mistakes at the same time. Has anyone seen such a bad teacher?

But the game still won because Gordon scored 22 points, Murray scored 27 points, and Porter scored 21 points.

Maybe because Jokic's performance is too dazzling. In the All-Star Selection, Murray, Porter Jr. and Gordon often become "victims". After all, those basketball media reporters believe: "You three are so powerful, isn't it because Jokic is here?" In fact, basketball is a sport of 5 people. If Jokic alone, he will not win the championship in 2023.

But then again, if the Nuggets win the championship this year, is it possible that the FMVP is Aaron Gordon?
