An ever-evolving, pretty subjective argument that likely won't get a conclusion until those top stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant officially decide to hang it up and hand over the reins to someone else to stand out as the biggest name the sport has to offer.

It's a new year (with new faces) in Denver, and the Nuggets coach is adamant that his team doesn't 'stand on stuff' it did in the past.

After a long recovery from his ACL injury and a demanding summer representing Team Canada at the 2024 Olympics, Murray didn't have a full offseason to recharge. Entering the new campaign fatigued and worn down, he looked sluggish early last year, which led to waves of criticism.

Far from the most ideal start for both Denver and Johnson, but as the Nuggets continue to get adjusted to their new-look unit with the veteran forward in the mix, head coach David Adelman remains confident that the shots will connect sooner rather than later.

"Our players are well aware, all players are well aware, of what they're allowed to do, what they're not allowed to do," Steve Kerr said.

Former Dayton Flyers forward DaRon Holmes II received a game ball from Denver Nuggets coach David Adelman after making his NBA debut Saturday night.

Adelman is the son of former longtime NBA coach Rick Adelman, who spent 23 seasons coaching in the league for the Trail Blazers, Warriors, Kings, Rockets and Timberwolves. Despite his family's history in the NBA, O'Neal seemingly had no idea who David was, and he was rightfully roasted for it by his colleagues.

From when David Adelman started in Denver as an assistant coach to now as he takes over as head coach, Golden State has always run a potent and atypical offense.

Jamal Murray used the Nuggets’ home opener to continue his quest to change the narrative that he’s a slow starter. Nuggets coach David Adelman admitted he’s had a conversation with Murray about starting seasons stronger after Denver’s 133-111 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday at Ball Arena.
