It’s official – the San Antonio Spurs will face off against the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs and All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is poised for a huge run in the postseason. In arguably his best year donning the silver and black, Aldridge has exemplified the leadership qualities and two-way consistency to guide his Spurs through the treacherous Western Conference.
First up on his to-do list is a matchup against dime-dropping extraordinaire Nikola Jokic. As the sole All-Star on the second seeded Nuggets, Jokic has taken a considerable leap in his development over the course of his fourth season.
