PMers: If Nikola Jokić has an NBA doppelgänger, it’s a tall man from the Virgin Islands. The Joker’s demeanor and impact resembles that of Spurs Hall of Famer Tim Duncan. And that’s as scary as it sounds for the rest of the league. In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3Jf7CuR – 5:00 PM

Parade day in Denver looked epic. Michael Malone stealing the show. Jokic making it clear he wanted to be there. Jamal soaking it up. Bruce Brown hinting at a possible return?

Where do Jokic and Murray rank among all-time NBA Finals duos?
I poured through every year to nail down where they stack up with the likes of Jordan-Pippen, Kobe-Shaq, Russell-Havlicek, Kareem-Magic and many more.
They’re higher than you think. 👇👇
