many folks have said that he (Jokic) brought the playing style of Europe towards the NBA.

And the truth is that from other region are the ones that's dominating the NBA on its own land.

When I saw one article about how the Miami Heat was defeated twice by a European, it made me smile. Dirk Nowitzki and Nikola Jokic. Truly, the NBA today is changing, thanks to the Europeans that had been coming into the league. Who knows, maybe Doncic is next. Another player who plays differently from other players. No such thing as the "hops" or "speed" but he can definitely score inside by only using his brain and his strong body. Vice versa of Ja Morant who is relying upon his speed and hops.

Nikola Jokic changed the way we look at NBA and especially at the younger players who never saw how Magic, Bill, and Larry did it. It's almost like this, the Joker revived a strong big man, not like a "Shaq" big man but more of a versatile big man. And, I have no doubts Jokic will keep on passing more records from way back some of us were born.

It just seems that the NBA isn't marketing Jokic for some reason but it's good that these Europeans have made a lot of changes to NBA's basketball.
Whilst those teams aren't focused on having a big man that can do almost everything, shoot outside, assist, get free-throw shooting, rebounds. Almost everything.
The Nuggets is so blessed to have Joker and they've managed to take care of him until they've finally got their first ever NBA title.

The same with what Dallas Mavericks did for Dirk Nowitzki, they didn't let him go, took care of him, and somehow managed to get a championship with him. I love teams that do this, just being patient and waiting for the right time with one loyal player. I wish the Denver Nuggets will do the same thing for the Joker, become the face of their franchise, and better a duo that will bring them another championship with Jamal Murray.

We can say it is really their time now. From being defeated in the bubble, to Murray being injured and Nikola Jokic shouldering everything yet he still made it to the playoffs without his co-stars. Jamal Murray is the key to their win, he said it and then he did it. He actually knows they will make it this time with his healthy body and then Michael Porter Jr. is also at the prime of his career.
The addition of Aaron Gordon is a big one instead of Gary Harris, they now have an elite defender who could stop superstars like KD, Lebron, and Butler.

Hopefully that will be the case and that they will really take care of what they have right now because it's not every time they can land someone like Murray especially Jokic who can make any team suffer without meaning it, but who knows, there might be a time that both franchise and player will have some misunderstanding on their contract. But looking at it right now, I think it's still safe that Jokic will remain a Nuggets for a couple more years.

Yes, it will be safe to say that Nikola Jokic will remain and play for the franchise for long because if his current contract will end and other teams will start pushing for a price just to get him, the Nuggets will always lead when it comes to figures so that they can still be with Jokic and build another team around him if it's needed in the few years to come. But right now, for at least 2-3 years, I'm pretty much inclined that they can still dominate the league while having the same roster as long as they will remain healthy and agile.

I agree with that as well, most teams in the league will certainly have a hard time penetrating though the Nuggets and get a win at the end of the day because they are now much experienced and can keep up with almost all of the teams in the league even if they build another superteam just to get rid the Nuggets and give themselves a lot more chances to win next season.

And just like what the Phoenix Suns just did, they now have Bradley Beal in their roster in-exchange for CP3 and few other picks. But I truly wonder if this team will have any difference and can create themselves an opening to arrive in the Finals next season.

The addition of Aaron Gordon is a big one instead of Gary Harris, they now have an elite defender who could stop superstars like KD, Lebron, and Butler.

He wasn't guarding Butler, though I believe it would be a mismatch if he were to guard Butler, as the latter is quicker. Also, I have a feeling that Butler was not 100% during the NBA Finals, probably due to the ankle problem that bothered him throughout the series. However, he may not want to admit it as some spectators might perceive it as making excuses.

Perhaps next year will be the Heat's turn to win.
