The Denver Nuggets are in the midst of an incredible season and are just one game away from the Western Conference Finals. Whether they win the championship this year or not remains to be seen, but the Nuggets boast so much youth and talent that they should contend for years to come.

On The Jump, Paul Pierce gushed over the Nuggets, believing that Denver is the future powerhouse in the NBA with talents like Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic just beginning to tap into their potential.

“This team is talented. They’re on their way. They have something special over there in Denver,” Pierce said. “They have a star in place (in Nikola Jokic). They’ve got an up-and-coming guard in Jamal Murray. He’s going to be an All-Star. This team is the future.”
