NBA analyst Charles Barkley recently voiced his frustration with the media for overshadowing the Denver Nuggets’ remarkable accomplishment of reaching the NBA Finals. Despite their sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, the attention has primarily focused on the potential retirement of LeBron James.
Barkley expressed his disappointment, stating, “I was so mad this morning I actually turned the TV off. Because the Denver Nuggets sweep, get to the Finals for the first time… We all love LeBron… It should have been all about the Denver Nuggets.” Barkley believed that the Nuggets’ victory deserved more recognition and praised Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter for their outstanding performances.
“I was so mad this morning I actually turned the TV off,” Barkley said. “Because the Denver Nuggets sweep, get to the Finals for the first time. … We all love LeBron. He didn’t say he was retiring yet, but when he does, we’ll do all that stuff. It should have been all about the Denver Nuggets, and Joker, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, and those guys. It was awesome. When they were getting stomped last night and came back and won, that was impressive. That should have been what we talked about all day.”
The Denver Nuggets have often been overlooked by the media due to their status as a mid-market team. However, their journey to the NBA Finals marks a significant milestone in franchise history, deserving more attention and celebration.
Denver Nuggets Remain Unfazed by Lack of Media Attention
While the media’s oversight may be disappointing for some, the Denver Nuggets themselves are familiar to being overlooked. As a mid-market team, they have often flown under the radar despite their impressive performances. Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ star player, remarked that they are used to such treatment, expressing his indifference towards media coverage.
Jokic stated, “It’s nothing new for us. To be honest, I like it. We don’t care. Whatever… It’s normal for us. I don’t pay attention [to all of that].” This sentiment was echoed by his teammate Jamal Murray, who emphasized that the team’s primary focus is on winning the NBA Championship, regardless of media recognition.
The Denver Nuggets have repeatedly demonstrated their resilience and ability to overcome difficulty throughout the playoffs. They emerged victorious against formidable opponents like the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers, with their victories often being overshadowed by narratives focused on their opponents shortcomings rather than their own achievements.
Despite the lack of media attention, the Nuggets are determined to seize the opportunity before them. They recognize that their success is measured by their performance on the court, not by media coverage. With just four wins standing between them and the NBA Championship, the Nuggets are focused on making history.
