The Denver Nuggets are silencing critics and doubters.
They only needed five games to get past the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, and they’re already up 2-0 over the Phoenix Suns.
That’s why Charles Barkley wants people to finally start giving Nikola Jokic his flowers, urging the viewers to just enjoy his greatness.
“Let’s enjoy greatness. Watching this Joker play.”

Jokic is a two-time MVP and one of the most unique players in the game, yet the debate still revolves around whether or not he’s the best player in the league.
That has kept some people from actually appreciating Jokic’s game while criticizing him for what he isn’t instead of appreciating his achievements.
Moreover, they make it seem like you cannot be a fan of two players at the same time, which doesn’t make all that much sense.
For years, Jokic has put the Nuggets on his shoulders in the postseason, mostly being stuck on an island with a hobbled supporting cast.
Now, the Nuggets are finally at full strength and proving why they earned the Western Conference’s top seed after protecting home-court advantage against one of the biggest candidates to make the NBA Finals.
Jokic has dominated Suns center Deandre Ayton in the first two games of this series, and his triple-threat offensive repertoire has been too much to handle for Phoenix.
The Suns will most likely fight their way back into this series, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them even things up after a pair of games in the desert.
But Jokic has been too good, and it’s time people just enjoy his beautiful game.
