Nerd Sesh x Hoop Venue - Jokic is still best player alive, Timberwolves best defense this century?

The Volume

The nerds are joined by Tyler from Hoop Venue to discuss why Nikola Jokić is still the best player in the NBA and what's next for the Denver Nuggets after a disappointing playoff exit. They also discuss the most interesting keys to the upcoming Western Conference Finals between Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves against Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks, and if Minnesota's defense is the best since the 2004 Pistons. Finally, they name the most disrespected stars of the postseason and debate whether the Boston Celtics are going under-appreciated right now.
