The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets have a history with each other
The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers are two teams that just can't seem to avoid each other in the playoffs. The two teams have faced off three times in the last five years, with the Nuggets currently having the upper hand. They're a team Lakers fans have gotten all too familiar with, including the legendary James Worthy.
"I don't think that you put it in that perspective that we need to stop Jokic," Worthy said. "He's a phenomenal player and you need to focus on the whole team, including him. I think our best year was 2020 where we had JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard. You could come in and play a little more physical with him, you try to slow him down, take away some of his comfort zones, and get him in foul trouble.
"The guys you have to worry about are Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jamal Murray, they are a team," Worthy said. "They've been together for a long time, they've been through trials and tribulations, they waited on Murray after he had that serious injury. So, when you develop that kind of chemistry when guys have been together, it finally came together."
