The Denver Nuggets spent decades waiting to lift their very first NBA trophy, but their wait is finally over! Nikola Jokic was named the NBA Finals MVP after leading his team to an epic victory against the Miami Heat in the NBA championship on Monday Night. The Nuggets came into this year’s finals as a clear favorite and proved their domination in just five games. Game 5 was pretty frantic and messy, but they managed to outlast Miami Heat, eventually winning 94-89. Nikola Jokic led the way with 28 points and 16 rebounds, and it wasn’t a shocker to see him collect the Bill Russell trophy as the NBA Finals MVP. He also made history as the first player to ever lead the league in points (600), rebounds (269), and assists (190) in a single postseason. The Nuggets coach Michael Malone said that this victory left them hungry for more, especially since they have a lot of young talented players in the locker room who are capable of taking the team to new heights. “We talk about the evolution in this game. You go from a nobody to an upstart. You go from an upstart to a winner. From a winner to a contender. And from a contender to a champion. The last step after a champion is to be a dynasty” said Malone.
