Descripción

Nikola Jokić just finished as the MVP runner-up to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the second straight season… and it raises a serious question: Did Jokić just miss his final realistic shot at winning MVP No. 4?   Historically, very few players win MVPs after the age of 31, and Jokić will turn 32 next season. Even with all-time great production, voter fatigue, team narratives, and the NBA’s next generation of stars could make another MVP climb even tougher from here.   On today’s Shapiro and Piro the fellas break down:   The history of older MVP winners Why MVP voting may already be shifting away from Jokić How SGA changed the conversation Whether Denver’s championship window affects future MVP chances And if Jokić can still defy NBA history yet again   Is the league moving on from the Jokić era of MVP dominance — or are we underrating one of the greatest players ever?   🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!

The TRUTH About Peyton Watson And The Nuggets' Salary Cap Dilemma

The Denver Nuggets don't have to shed salary to re-sign Peyton Watson—but that doesn't mean there aren't major financial consequences. Shapiro and Piro break down the truth about Peyton Watson's upcoming contract situation, how a new deal could impact Denver's payroll, and why the NBA's second apron is at the center of the conversation. While many fans assume the Nuggets must make salary-cutting moves to keep Watson, the reality is much different. The fellas take a look at Denver's current cap sheet, the potential cost of a Peyton Watson extension, the restrictions that come with being a second-apron team, and what it could mean for the Nuggets' roster-building strategy moving forward.   🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!
