Dame Lillard talks with The Athletic\u00a0 talk to The Athletic two days before game 1 of the first round series between Trail Blazers and Nuggets.<\/p>\n
“They\u2019re not at full strength but a wounded animal is the most dangerous animal. I\u2019m not going into here even thinking about who\u2019s not on the floor, because the MVP of the league is on the floor. They\u2019ve got a lot of talent”<\/p>\n
Nikola Jokic is the MVP?<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s been dominating from start to finish. They are the three seed in the Western Conference. The numbers are there. I mean, (it\u2019s) him or Embiid. I don\u2019t see how you don\u2019t give it to him or Embiid. And I would give it to him over Embiid just because Embiid missed games. He\u2019s played more games than everybody. He\u2019s been in every game, and he\u2019s performed. Jamal Murray got hurt. Will Barton got hurt. And they kept rolling”.<\/p>\n
