This Nikola Jokic stat cannot be real.
It shouldn’t have been possible for Nikola Jokic to take his game to an even higher level this season. The Denver Nuggets superstar had already won three NBA MVPs, one NBA championship, and one NBA Finals MVP entering the 2024-25 season. With Jokic firmly in his prime at age-29, it felt like the Nuggets were crumbling around him: Denver lost three key pieces from the 2023 championship team over the...

The second season of Silo — a postapocalyptic thriller on Apple TV Plus — has wrapped up, and the finale was the show at its very best. It was full of dramatic twists, painful sacrifices, brutal fights, beautiful shots of a decayed future, and in its final moments, a tease that shows how much larger and more expansive the story actually is.
