After clinching the NBA Finals title in 2023, the Denver Nuggets have faced a challenging couple of seasons, failing to reach the Western Conference Finals in both 2024 and 2025. However, a transformative offseason in 2025, marked by strategic acquisitions, has set the stage for a potential resurgence. With the addition of key players, including Cam Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Bruce Brown, and Tim Hardaway Jr., expectations are building that the Nuggets can reclaim their championship-winning form.

In a recent episode of the podcast The Old Man And The Three, hosted by his new teammate Cam Johnson, forward Aaron Gordon expressed his optimism for the upcoming season. He emphasized the importance of Johnson simply being himself as he transitions into his new role with the team. "Just be Cam Johnson. Be yourself. That's it. That's all we need. Everything else will take care of itself," Gordon said. As he confidently declared, "I believe we're going to be the ones that walk off with the win." His sentiments suggest a strong belief in the potential of the revamped roster.

While this podcast episode aired before the start of the 2025-26 season, the Nuggets have started strong, boasting a record of 14-6 after 20 games. However, Gordon's presence has been hampered by a hamstring strain, sidelining him for several weeks. Despite this setback, the new-look Nuggets are trending upwards. With seasoned players like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray continuing to perform at elite levels, the team appears poised for success.

The infusion of talent from Johnson, Valanciunas, Brown, and Hardaway Jr. adds significant depth and firepower to an already formidable roster centered around three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. Johnson, in particular, is starting to hit his stride, notably improving his performance over the last eight games where he averaged 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 54.9% from the field and 55.3% from three-point range. His ability to simply "be himself," as Gordon advised, could prove instrumental in the Nuggets' quest for another championship.

As the season progresses and Johnson becomes increasingly comfortable within the Nuggets' system, the team’s championship aspirations are looking more tangible. Every game provides an opportunity to demonstrate their potential, and Gordon's return will undoubtedly amplify the Nuggets' chances of success. If they can maintain their momentum and capitalise on their collective skills, the Nuggets could very well be the last team standing come playoff time.

With the basketball season still unfolding, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if the Nuggets can leverage their new roster into a legitimate title run. The combination of experienced players and emerging talents positions them to be serious contenders once again, making for an exciting season ahead.
