Nuggets Journal: Can Nikola Jokic Defy Expectations And Narratives Enough To Win 4th Mvp?

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). A full house packed with Cheeseheads intently cheering for their beloved Green Bay Packers at Wally’s Wisconsin Tavern last Sunday didn’t realize they were in the presence of Wisconsin royalty. Kim Flitcroft of Lake Geneva, Wis., who was crowned Alice in Dairyland of 1990, was in town with her husband for a family visit.

The more MVP trophies an NBA player possesses, the more improbable it becomes that he will secure another. Whether it’s fair or not, that tends to be the reality.

Residing in the AFC West this decade comes with the most fundamental of football truths. No. 15 in Kansas City influences everything that everybody does to some degree or another. Patrick Mahomes could retire at the end of this year and waltz into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. At 29, though, there’s also a possibility he will play for another decade or more. Tom Brady, for example, played 13 years in New England after his age-29 season and 16 more total. If Mahomes plays five years shorter than that, though age 40 — where Aaron Rodgers is right now — he’ll still be taking snaps during the 2035 season. As he and Kansas City chase a third straight Super Bowl title, Mahomes and the Chiefs put pressure on everybody else in the division.
