Chris Mannix of SI was chastised for saying the Nuggets 'aren't very interesting' after they reached the NBA Finals.

Fans obviously want stability on the teams they support, but neutral viewers want a compelling narrative or drama. The straightforward success carried out by low-key personalities is apparently too boring for many to invest in. The Denver Nuggets have been battling this obstacle all season.

Even a renowned sportswriter tasked with uncovering every rumor surrounding a team believes the Western Conference champions are not very marketable.

“The card the Nuggets can play is ‘Nobody talks about us,”‘ Sports Illustrated writer Chris Mannix said on The Rich Eisen Show, via ClutchPoints. "Because to be honest, the Nuggets aren't all that interesting." They’re just not a compelling team to talk about, to write about.”

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are an undeniably exciting duo to watch on the court, but they do not possess flashy personalities like other stars. The Nuggets have been compared to the San Antonio Spurs, a well-oiled machine whose chemistry and consistency demolish the more disjointed opposition. Tim Duncan was not visible in commercials. Greg Popovich is not the easiest person to talk to. Ergo, the Spurs were labeled “boring” by many fans.

However, they, just like the 2022-23 Nuggets, played a stellar brand of basketball filled with cuts and beautiful passing. Both offenses are exciting. Apparently, that remains unsatisfactory when people assess who the biggest draws are going into the NBA Finals. However, Twitter rushed to the team's defense. "Chris Mannix is a blind movie reviewer," Phil (Dixon) stated.
