After the Celtics came back from down 3-0 to tie the Eastern Conference Finals at three games apiece just to lose at home, the NBA Finals have been set.
It will be the Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat battling the Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
That said, the Heat have two former Cats on their team, with the Nuggets having one, so a former Kentucky Wildcats’ standout player will earn a ring for the first time in any of the three’s respective careers.
