Grizzlies Star Speaks on Denver Nuggets' Home Advantage

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. recently joined Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, and gave his honest opinion on the difficultly of facing the Denver Nuggets in the altitude.

"You can't breathe," Jackson Jr. said. "You gotta practice. I'm running the day before to try get it out... Whoever comes in town, I mean you're just - at whatever point you're at in your season, you're playing in Denver it's gonna hurt a little bit."

Paul George added his own thoughts on playing in Denver, saying the Nuggets do have an advantage due to their increased conditioning level that comes from playing there. George made sure to emphasize that this is not why Denver is so great, but they do have an advantage.

"It's an advantage, bro. They have a slight advantage in Denver," George said. "It's an advantage. I'm not gonna say that's the reason why they're good, they're good because they're talented and they're good, but it has some advantage to it."

The Nuggets have an opportunity to close out the NBA Finals tonight on their home floor, which would be an incredible moment for that organization and fanbase. For Miami, they have to be ready for not only a wild home crowd, but the altitude challenge as well. As George and Jackson Jr. noted, it's certainly not easy.
