The Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in five games to become the 2023 NBA Champions. Despite it being the first championship in franchise history, members of the Nuggets still could not stop thinking about LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Nuggets head coach Michael Malone took a stray shot at LeBron on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, making fun of LeBron saying that he was contemplating retirement this offseason. Then, during the parade that was meant to celebrate Denver’s accomplishments, they instead went the cringe route and called Malone the “Lakers’ daddy”. Nice.
