The Comradery Within the Denver Nuggets
By Mathew Huff
The Denver Nuggets have displayed terrific team chemistry this year.
The Denver Nuggets seem to have a squad that finally meshes well and has a nice chemistry. Compared to the last two years, the comradery within this team seems to have improved immensely.
There doesn’t seem to be any players who don’t get along with each other and everyone supports everyone. Jokic always seems to direct the spotlight at his teammates when reporters ask about his massive performances.
Gallinari, Faried, and Chandler are the veterans who are left over from the George Karl era and seem to get along great and have no problem with providing guidance. Nelson is always quick to offer the young Mudiay solid advice from a trusted veteran point guard.

Even Malik Beasley, a player who doesn’t see the floor often is one of the greatest teammates you will find in the entire league. Whether it be joking around on twitter with Denver’s account about Jokic’s entrance to the Skills Challenge to celebrating a Jamal Murray basket as if he had just made it, he is really a younger brother to this team.
When you see comradery like this in a locker room, it is key. Especially with a squad who is currently transitioning from the rebuilding process to trying to get a taste of the post season. The fact that there hasn’t been any player vs. player dysfunction that we have heard of this year is a welcome sign.
The team has even greeted newly acquired Mason Plumlee with open arms and he has made it known that he has felt welcome in return. Plumlee has even somewhat hinted at staying in the Mile High after the season, but that’s a bridge to cross when we get to it.
When I look at this Nuggets squad, I see something I haven’t in a very long time.
A team that is unselfish and has a team oriented goal.
