Monday night was all about Nikola Jokiu0107 and the Nuggets after they defeated the Heat, 4-1, to win their first NBA title. New York Knicks fans breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Miami wouldn’t get to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
Watching Denver celebrate led to congratulations from current and former NBA players, including Trae Young. After tweeting that the Nuggets deserved to win the finals, the guard sent out another tweet that promptly led to him being clowned on social media.
Young and the Hawks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021, the same year that they eliminated the Knicks in the first round, but since then, have been first-round exits in back-to-back seasons.
