  • Did Nikola Jokić Just Miss His Last Shot at MVP No. 4?

    Did Nikola Jokić Just Miss His Last Shot at MVP No. 4?
    May 18 2026
    Nikola Jokić just finished as the MVP runner-up to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the second straight season… and it raises a serious question: Did Jokić just miss his final realistic shot at winning MVP No. 4? Historically, very few players win MVPs after the age of 31, and Jokić will turn 32 next season. Even with all-time great production, voter fatigue, team narratives, and the NBA’s next generation of stars could make another MVP climb even tougher from here. On today’s Shapiro and Piro the fellas break down: The history of older MVP winners Why MVP voting may already be shifting away from Jokić How SGA changed the conversation Whether Denver’s championship window affects future MVP chances And if Jokić can still defy NBA history yet again Is the league moving on from the Jokić era of MVP dominance — or are we underrating one of the greatest players ever? 🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!

    The BIGGEST Takeaway From the Avs Comeback
    May 14 2026
    The Colorado Avalanche are headed to the Conference Final after an unforgettable 4-3 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild. Shapiro and Piro break down the biggest moments from the series-clinching comeback, the OT heroics, and what this win says about the Avs as they continue their Stanley Cup push. Can Colorado’s depth, resilience, and star power carry them through the Conference Final? We dive into the adjustments that changed the series, the players who stepped up under pressure, and the biggest keys moving forward. A huge part of this win was once again Nathan MacKinnon stepping up in the biggest moment. MacKinnon delivered the game-tying goal late to force overtime and completely shift the momentum back in Colorado’s favor. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Cale Makar, who continues to battle through injuries as the playoffs intensify. 🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!

    How Did the Nuggets Get So DESPERATE? And Where Do They Go From Here?
    May 13 2026
    The Denver Nuggets are at a crossroads. After another disappointing playoff exit, this time a first-round elimination at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, serious questions are surrounding the future of the franchise. Despite having the best player in the world in Nikola Jokić and winning a championship just a few years ago, the Nuggets have only one title to show for the Jokic era. Now, every option appears to be on the table. Could Denver actually consider moving core pieces like Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, or even reshaping the roster entirely? Or will they choose to run it back and trust their championship core one more time? Swipa joins Shapiro and Piro to break down how the Nuggets got to this desperate point, what went wrong, and why this may be the biggest offseason in franchise history. 🔥 Don’t miss the latest updates on Denver’s top teams from Shapiro and Piro — hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications to stay on top of all the action!
