What If? Series: 2009 Orlando Magic vs. Denver Nuggets

Carmelo Anthony was on Dwyane Wade‘s Instagram live broadcast last week when the conversation turned toward Anthony’s best chance to win a championship in 2009.

The Denver Nuggets lost in six games to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers that year. But like the Orlando Magic — and probably LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers — he believed they had a good chance to win. And when discussing that year, Anthony puffed his chest a little bit.

He said they really wanted Orlando in the Finals.
