As we ease into March we’re starting to see the first teams who qualify as championship contenders under Phil Jackson’s proposed 40/20 rule, which legitimizes teams who reach at least 40 wins before losing 20. Of course, this isn’t a hard and fast rule, but rather a rough estimate to see which teams we could be taking seriously. There are only four teams who have achieved this feat this season: the OKC Thunder, CLE Cavaliers, BOS Celtics, and NY Knicks. Throughout the NBA, only four teams have won a championship despite not qualifying for the 40/20.
But it’s tough to look at teams like the DEN Nuggets and think that they aren’t contenders, especially when they’re anchored by the current most dominant force in all of basketball in Nikola Jokic. The same sentiment can be applied to other teams such as the Bucks or Warriors, who house a game-breaking superstar but don’t have the standout record as one of the four teams listed above.
