The Denver Nuggets have wrapped up their first NBA Championship, knocking off the Miami Heat four games to one to conclude the 2022-23 NBA Finals. Miami’s miracle run lasted longer than anyone thought it was, especially as it looked dead to rights in the NBA Play-In tournament all those weeks ago. Ultimately, the Nuggets were just too tough. How do the OKC Thunder tie into this?
With historic performances from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray throughout the series, Denver is crowned NBA Champions for the first time in franchise history since 1977. Jokic will get all the headlines as the Finals MVP, and some would argue should have three-peated for the Regular Season award.
