DeAndre Jordan Says 50 Cent's "Many Men" Is Nikola Jokić's Favorite Song
In an appearance on Run it Back, DeAndre Jordan revealed what his Denver Nuggets teammate Nikola Jokić's favorite song is. "Peyton Watson is our locker room DJ, so anytime Nikola request a song, if it's not like Serbian folk music it is 'Many Men' by 50 Cent,
The Denver Nuggets faced one of their biggest challenges of the season this week, as they had to take on a difficult back-to-back slate without their star big man Nikola Jokic. Jokic isn’t dealing with any sort of injury,
Jokic suggested the idea as the "NBA on TNT" crew asked him to sing the rap song on air in their postgame interview. “I don’t know (the lyrics) anymore, but I’m going to (learn) it. Maybe I’m going to perform,” Jokic said. The crew then reacted to Jokic’s suggestion, proposing it to happen during the All-Star game in February.
After starting Wednesday's loss to Houston, Jordan will head back to Denver's bench in the return of Nikola Jokic (illness) on Friday. Over his past five games (two starts), Jordan is averaging 5.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.3 minutes.
If the Denver Nuggets want to make a trade before the Feb. 6 deadline, they need to make a bigger splash than this.
Aaron Gordon has been key to an improved Nuggets bench. Even when he returns to the starting lineup, Denver will need more of him when Nikola Jokic is off the court.
Jalen Green scored 34 points, Alperen Sengun had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists and the Houston Rockets beat the short-handed Denver Nuggets 128-108.
Meanwhile, Caldwell-Pope’s replacement in the Denver starting lineup had an exceptional showing in Orlando. Christian Braun went for 20 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block. It was his sixth career 20-point game and his second this week.
The Denver Nuggets continued to handle their business, taking their road blowout streak home with them and dismantling the injured Philadelphia 76ers
Jamal Murray scored 32 of his season-high 45 points in the first half and led the Denver Nuggets to a 118-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
Nikola Jokic always dominates, but it was great to see so many teammates join in on the scoring last night.
