The third-seeded Denver Nuggets lost 4-2 to the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves, capped by a 110-98 Game 6 defeat in Minneapolis. Jokic averaged 25.8 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 9.5 assists, but shot poorly from the field and beyond the arc, while Jamal Murray hit 23.7 points on 35.7% shooting and Aaron Gordon missed three games due to injuries. Fans compared it to LeBron's 2010 Cleveland Cavaliers exit, with some saying LeBron bailed on a weaker roster, though critics highlighted Denver's stronger pieces like Murray and Gordon from their 2023 title run. The back-and-forth also touched all-time player rankings excluding LeBron, showing how one playoff upset keeps reigniting GOAT arguments.
