The Denver Nuggets hold a 1-0 lead over the Miami Heat ahead of Game 2 of the Finals on Sunday, with the franchise looking to join the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks as the last three NBA champions.
Having been the top team in the Western Conference since December, there’s plenty of similarities between the roster construction of this season’s Nuggets, and that of the 2021 Bucks and 2022 Warriors.
The Denver Nuggets are primed to join the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks as homegrown success stories over the last three seasons.
Nuggets’ superstar Nikola Jokic unsurprisingly controlled Game 1 with a 27-point triple double, with the 28-year-old Serbian attempting to join a couple of other two-time MVP’s in putting his imprint on recent Finals’ matchups.
