Utterly beautiful. There is such tenderness to your writing. And it made me shiver a bit - the players are so young - I don’t know how they hold such wisdom and grace sometimes. A beautiful piece about someone who genuinely seems to have his priorities straight. And such a lovely paragraph about legacy. Thank you as always for your work.

It's always a pleasure to read your words. I'm just sad you didn't sneak in the fact that he's a foul merchant in there 😜 #jokicforMVP

I had it in at the end, toward the reference to being an envoy, but that part felt too tender to slip a joke in. I still think it’s a great nickname, so regal.

Shai dispatched Jokic in the playoffs. He had the better season. Love nuggets fans tears.
