DENVER — The glimmering Larry O’Brien Trophy that was won last June stands sentry outside the Denver Nuggets’ locker room at Ball Arena. Inside, there’s a small poster with Jamal Murray’s image next to a collage of NBA champions such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Across the way, Nikola Jokic’s locker is adorned with a showy horse racing ribbon, a reminder of his beloved side hustle.
