Here are five reasons the Nuggets will — and won’t — repeat as champions.Why the Nuggets will repeat1. Nobody has a defensive answer for the JokerAs busy as this offseason was around the NBA, the Nuggets still hold the highest card in the league. Not one team acquired a big man convincing enough to slow down Nikola Jokic. Kristaps Porzingis is all offense. Jusuf Nurkic? You can bet the two-time MVP isn’t getting clamped by his predecessor, however motivated Nurkic may be. Rui Hachimura worked for a quarter or two in May, and then LeBron James did too, but Los Angeles already knows it’s useless to try one coverage for a whole series. As long as the Nuggets have the best player in the world, they’ll be firmly in the mix.2. Championship starting five? Rinse, repeat...

The entertainment industry has often been criticized for its lack of diversity and inclusion, with protests hitting awards shows like the Oscars and the Emmys.
