The Nuggets have their first championship in their 47-year history. With a young core and the world’s best player more titles beckonefore Denver had the Nuggets, there were the Larks – the original name given to the city’s local basketball franchise on its foundation in 1967.
These finals were always supposed to be a mismatch: Denver’s ectomorphs against Miami’s endomorphs, the supertalls versus the strip malls. But the final stanza went right to the mat – literally so, since for much of a pleasantly fried fourth quarter it seemed like both teams were more intent on playing horizontally rather than upright, and the final minutes devolved into a chaotic tumble of grappling, grabbing, spoiling, and rolling.
The great unknown of these finals was whether the Nuggets could win the non-Jokić minutes, and Game 5 showed – once again – the depth in Denver’s supporting cast.
