All this time and I just realized it's like an alternate timeline. I am moving to Somalia where Marshawn Lynch actually ran the ball and my Seahawks won back to back Superb Owls!
That foul kicked me right in the nuts. If we went on to lose that game because of those 3 free throws, I was going to go apeshit, with nowhere but /r/denvernuggets to throw my keyboard warrior skills at.
Not to mention getting good minutes in the finals and all the way up until then. Dude played great defense can’t ask for much more happy he was a part of the journey after seeing him on the cavs
Jeff Green got a lot of hate too but I’m glad Malone stuck with the 16 year vet over the up and down youngsters of Nnaji or Cancar. Sometimes you just need experience in high pressure situations.
I sincerely hope that was the last we see of Unc. The amount of times he just stood around watching rebounds and giving up wide open shots... maddening.
Oh make no mistake, dude should not be a rotation piece on a championship team anymore. But he made some plays and overall didn’t look lost out there like the alternative youngsters would have.
Also can’t discount his locker room presence just like DJ.
I know Durant is the other but Westbrook and Ibaka were both drafted in 2008 as Supersonics and signed their first contracts as Sonics, just never played for them

Edit: Mods deleted the comments! They got embarrassed that they were exposed!
This is hilarious and sad at the same time. The virtue signalling with an indefinite blackout along with zero updates on conversations during it and then this? Wow.
They also just took down the thread about the blackout and hid it once everyone realized they were lying about not getting an ultimatum since other subs publicly shared the message that went out lmao
Mods on this sub are actually the worst
[and here they are dickriding the lakers and celtics 🥴](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1480svj/game_thread_miami_heat_13_denver_nuggets_31_june/jnyer3u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3)
But the mods really showed big bad reddit by closing the sub right before the last game of the fucking finals when the Nuggets would win their first championship. Robbed Nuggets fans of celebrating, gloating, and posting receipts.
Of course not. They decided to impose the blackout and didn't have the balls to commit to their own decision.
When called out for it, the mods just nuked the thread, removed every comment, and banned anyone from posting polls.
These are kids who decided to force a blackout on everyone else while opening up a private thread just for themselves. (Which is hilarious btw because they never would've had to resort to that if they had friends in real life to watch the games with.) They're not going to respond, they're just going to remove comments and ban people.
Nuggets fans got screwed so hard having the biggest day in literally their entire franchise's history happen during the blackout, the shitposting would've been legendary.
No need to bet lmao we know for a fact that the mods wanted a laker/celtics final, just go to the pathetic little game thread the mods put up for themselves while the sub was shut down and look at one of the comments on there:
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1480svj/game_thread_miami_heat_13_denver_nuggets_31_june/jnyer3u/?context=3
If you made me guess who’s the only player ever to lead a playoffs in points, rebounds and assists I’d a guessed Russel, Wilt or Kareem.
Nope, it was Jokic.
It’s one thing to see Jokic play every couple of weeks, but the awesome thing about the playoffs is you get a chance to watch teams play every other day for weeks on end. By the time the Finals hit, I was accustomed to just seeing him make the right play over and over again, or hit the *big* shot again and again - same with Murray.
I know it’s Fuck the Lakers or whatever, but I genuinely had a good time seeing this dude and this team just dominate. Just playing 2k with all the sliders on the easiest mode.
What might blow your mind- Joker was missing shots he usually hits. It was driving some of us nuts knowing that new fans aren’t seeing Joker at his A+. The bunnies are generally automatic for him. But the 46% from three was of course an improvement lol.
Love how random clips from games discounted Jokic as a defender but Jimmy butler, one of the best defenders in the game, says the nuggets defense is dependent on Jokic and everyone calls him wrong cause he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Jokic isn’t a great defender, but the narrative he’s a negative defensively is also bullshit.
Thanks to all the users on here still congratulating us I appreciate y’all. The mod team can suck my dick from the back. Make sure y’all tongue my balls too, nerds.
Something something Reddit Inc would have been severely impacted by just 2 days of blackout…
It was too little of a time for what they wanted to accomplish 🤦♂️
Teams that won their first title in my lifetime:
'89 Pistons
'91 Bulls
'94 Rockets
'99 Spurs
'06 Heat
'11 Mavericks
'16 Cavs
'19 Raptors
'23 Nuggets
I mean, I was a toddler for the Pistons one, but for me the Nuggets is the most unlikely one that I can remember. It makes perfect sense in retrospect but still.
I think Raptors is equally if not more unlikely. Kawhi did it in just one year with the team then dipped on a squad that otherwise really had no respect whether that was fair or not, they had to beat the LeBronto allegations.
Congrats Nuggets, even though your title got overshadowed by LeBron, Ja, and mods.
Also keep AG cookin', everyone at r/OrlandoMagic would like it very much
AG is the greatest living human. Dude is so fucking awesome lol. Mans was out on the streets celebrating with the people on Monday night, it was amazing! We will do our best with him!
This feels so typical of Denver. Win their first championship, play unbelievably all year and throughout the playoffs. Jokic and Murray put on a tour de force, and then because of some other random reddit drama their winning post just feels like an afterthought
Edit: I never said or thought the Nuggets would give a shit about a Reddit post. That’s not what I was implying here just that it’s typical of Denver, an often overlooked team on reddit regardless of their talent, that to no fault of their own even end up with little fan fair on here when they eventually won a championship.
It was honestly nice mourning but being optimistic on our sub, seeing you guys celebrate on your sub without being dicks to the heat, and letting that be that
Almost kinda liked r/nba being blacked out 🥲
Thank you mods for making such a brave stance and going dark during the *checks notes* NBA Finals and shitting on Nuggets fans everywhere! Please clap.
This protest was hands down one of the dumbest things ever. And to do it during the largest event of the season is downright shameful. Y’all seriously overestimated the number of people that actually give a shit about 3rd party apps
Who cares about this post now. The mods took away those moments from us. Sorry but these mods need to be removed. They don't realize what is imporatant to the users of this forum.
hahaha this stupid boycott just proves what I suspected for a long time, mods on reddit are fucking stupid and they don't care about communities they are running.
I prayed for reddit to delete all subs participating in a blackout so someone else can create a new r/nba
Really shitty of r/nba to go dark and rob some of the shine from Denver during their time. The sheer disrespect that team has received the past years.
I ended up visiting their team subreddit and congratulating them there.
It would actually be good for the admins to strip this mod crew and let a new order arise.
Very disappointing to see posts about the NBA championship in the main NBA subreddit.
Let's focus on what's really important here: some inscrutable fucking bullshit about APIs
Congrats Denver. Lol fucking joke that this sub was shut down off 8,000 votes in a sub with millions of subscribers while the Finals was happening. Congrats self-important mods and everybody who wanted to “protest”. You accomplished nothing.
Nuggets winning the NBA Finals while /r/nba is down and Jokic being drafted during a Taco Bell commercial are just variations upon a theme
Foreshadowing.
It’s like poetry; it rhymes.
reddit still is a bubble. My friends who are not on reddit haven't noted anything. Reddit is not THAT important, I can live without it tbh.
No shit lmao
Finally I know who won!
Just got out of jail in Somalia, how come everyone is wearing Heat 2023 champs shirts here?
Just saw a Heat fan fall to his knees in a jail in Somalia
Rachel Nichols in shambles rn
All this time and I just realized it's like an alternate timeline. I am moving to Somalia where Marshawn Lynch actually ran the ball and my Seahawks won back to back Superb Owls!
In Somolia they lost to the broncos
In all seriousness, it really was a shame we missed out on all the great/shitpost content immediately after you guys won
The Jimmy Butler phantom 3 point foul thread alone would have been a solid half hour of entertainment
That foul kicked me right in the nuts. If we went on to lose that game because of those 3 free throws, I was going to go apeshit, with nowhere but /r/denvernuggets to throw my keyboard warrior skills at.
I am still genuinely upset about missing out on that one.
Absolutely Jimbo was doing fucking ballet out there
Cannot believe that Nuggets and Heat did not boycott NBA finals because of Reddit API changes. Where do these guys live?
[удалено]
The blackout was never going to work. Reddit told most of the large subreddit mod teams to reopen or admin will replace you.
[удалено]
No, in fact this should have an asterisk next to it. Basically the 1919 World Series
Replaces bubble title as biggest asterisk in NBA history. Sorry Nuggets.
reddit api ring frauds
Bro thank God for this sub to keep us updated!
we are so back
Really weird that the Nuggets threw a parade before this post
Let me guess? Jokic also won Finals MVP
Good guess but it was actually Ish Smith
Well deserved. Can’t really argue with it
Deandre Jordan locker room vet presence erasure
Whoa. The Wizards finally won a championship?!
Congrats to the 2021 Nets big 3 Always knew Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, & DeAndre Jordan had it in them
Jeff Green finally getting a ring after the road hes been on in his career was a massive W
The Jeff Green - Andrew Wiggins rivalry is heating up
Not to mention getting good minutes in the finals and all the way up until then. Dude played great defense can’t ask for much more happy he was a part of the journey after seeing him on the cavs
You joke but Bruce Brown has that dawg in him
Jeff Green got a lot of hate too but I’m glad Malone stuck with the 16 year vet over the up and down youngsters of Nnaji or Cancar. Sometimes you just need experience in high pressure situations.
I sincerely hope that was the last we see of Unc. The amount of times he just stood around watching rebounds and giving up wide open shots... maddening.

Insert human torso x ray with hot dogs in it
He’s gonna get a well deserved bag for sure
He always has. Brooklyn had him running as a screen setter/roller for a while and he was killing it, all heart.
Celtics legend Jeff Green
Cavs legend Jeff Green
[удалено]
Rockets legend Uncle Jeff
He’s one of 2 guys left it he NBA who can call themselves: Seattle SuperSonics Legend
I know Durant is the other but Westbrook and Ibaka were both drafted in 2008 as Supersonics and signed their first contracts as Sonics, just never played for them
Ok now do Ish Smith
Seattle SuperSonics Legend, Jeff Green.
I'm really glad Bruce Brown got to show out. It hurt when we gave him up.
Nash giving Bruce DNP-CDs used to make me so angry.
We did it!
Were you sitting on this joke for days?
He was cookin while the sub was down
Pouring over recipe books, alphabetizing copy pasta, whipping up test batches on Twitter.

R/nba mods such fucking losers
Changed my name for the occasion
Every mod is a fucking loser lol. They work for free for a multi-billion dollar business.
And don't have it in them to quit
Holy shit that’s awful fuck the mods
Rules for thee and not for me. Pound sand
They also just took down the thread about the blackout and hid it once everyone realized they were lying about not getting an ultimatum since other subs publicly shared the message that went out lmao Mods on this sub are actually the worst
All the collaborative competence of middle management but with none of the salary

I saw people on the circlejerk sub saying that the mods wouldn’t participate if it was Lakers V Celtics. They’re probably right.
But the mods really showed big bad reddit by closing the sub right before the last game of the fucking finals when the Nuggets would win their first championship. Robbed Nuggets fans of celebrating, gloating, and posting receipts.
Looks like they deleted everything after you called them out. Spineless.
u/notrightmeow anything to say my dude?
Of course not. They decided to impose the blackout and didn't have the balls to commit to their own decision.

Ya I'm out.
What a bunch of fucking cry babies holy shit 😂😂😂
That just doesn’t hit the same now lol

Not illegitimate, just with an asterisk
Blackout ring
Hey, that asterisk is reserved for the Lakers. Can’t be handing it out to everyone now.
Nuggets fans got screwed so hard having the biggest day in literally their entire franchise's history happen during the blackout, the shitposting would've been legendary.
Shitpostng? The shit posting did not stop for one bit over in /r/nbacirclejerk
Wtf are we actually doing here, this happened almost a week ago, and dorks wanna act like this is perfectly fine lmaooo
What's the bet if the Lakers or Warriors were in the finals they wouldn't have shut down the sub
No need to bet lmao we know for a fact that the mods wanted a laker/celtics final, just go to the pathetic little game thread the mods put up for themselves while the sub was shut down and look at one of the comments on there: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1480svj/game_thread_miami_heat_13_denver_nuggets_31_june/jnyer3u/?context=3

Damn, they really did make a private game thread. At least I thought they would use discord to not be that blatant. What a bunch of bozos
The bot made it. They did use it though like fucking losers. Let’s just be accurate in what we roast them for
Anyone got an archive version of this since they deleted all their comments lol?
Mods wouldn’t waste the chance for that sweet karma.
Mods just completed the whiniest moment in Reddit history. Embarrassment
I honestly forgot about the NBA. I did feel like my followed sub page is a bit more shallow than I remembered
Jokic is stupidly good. I can’t believe it.
Where’s that guy who was getting clowned years ago for write up’s on this sub saying Jokic was a top player in the league? This is his true moment.
Probably eg, I forget his exact username but dude was on the Jokic future MVP his first or second year in the league
Eg_14000 I think
Mods should unban him
Eg should replace the mods
Didn’t he say jokic gona be a goat or something close to it?
He got banned for posting it too much, but he was way ahead of his time.
It was also because eg was extremely aggressive overall
If you knew the answers to the universe would you whisper it quietly?
If you made me guess who’s the only player ever to lead a playoffs in points, rebounds and assists I’d a guessed Russel, Wilt or Kareem. Nope, it was Jokic.
Magic would’ve been my guess, Russell didn’t score that much and Kareem didn’t pass much.
Retroactively the best player in the league for the past 3 years.
It’s one thing to see Jokic play every couple of weeks, but the awesome thing about the playoffs is you get a chance to watch teams play every other day for weeks on end. By the time the Finals hit, I was accustomed to just seeing him make the right play over and over again, or hit the *big* shot again and again - same with Murray.

Job is done, we can go home now. - r/nba mods after the lockout
Lol I don’t know if there’s a Reddit award for “gigantic waste of time” but I nominate all of this sub’s mods.
They did earn it!
NBA mods are just ESPN
You think Malone wants to go for a repeat?
I think he gets fired honestly
Shoulda won the championship better
His own success now proves he was underperforming in the past. Best to can Malone
Rivers can turn this team around
Thanks to all the users on here still congratulating us I appreciate y’all. The mod team can suck my dick from the back. Make sure y’all tongue my balls too, nerds.

Knew Nugglyfe would still rear it’s ugly head this year but thankfully this is the way it has to happen

To think that the sub shutdown because of 6,000 votes while playoff game threads routinely get 20K+ comments alone
Yup no shits given. Mods are idiots
I thought this was a 24 hour thing. Being closed for the entirety of the celebration window is ridiculous for the sub for NBA news.
Fuck the mods
Bruh lol
Who cares about this post now. The mods took away those moments from us. Sorry but these mods need to be removed. They don't realize what is imporatant to the users of this forum.
