Nuggets Podcast: Nikola Jokic’s rise, Bruce Brown’s future and championship No. 1

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat reporter Mike Singer is joined by sports editor Matt Schubert to discuss the first ever championship in Denver Nuggets history after a gritty 94-89 win over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Among the topics covered:

• Nikola Jokic. No jokes here. What is left to say about the 41st overall draft pick after one of the most dominant postseason runs in NBA history? Has he crept into the discussion as one of the league’s top 20 players of all time? Just how long can he lead the Nuggets to title contention?
• Schubert and Singer discuss the team’s future, including that of key role player Bruce Brown. Will Brown stick around for a shot at another title? Or will he chase the big contract that would inevitably come his way in free agency?
• What did an emotional Jamal Murray have to say in the wake of a career-altering postseason run? Did Michael Porter Jr. prove something with his gutty Game 5 performance?
• Should the Denver faithful have booed Lisa Salters? Is Mike to blame?
