How many rings does the Nuggets franchise have?
In Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 94-89 to win their first-ever title. The Nuggets, at last, raised the prized trophy after 47 years in the league. The Nuggets overcame a 10-point hole in the second quarter under the leadership of two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic alongside Jamal Murray to win the series 4-1.
Jokic became the lowest-drafted player to win this award because of his outstanding play throughout the championship series. His colleague Jamal Murray, who missed the previous season due to injury, also made a miraculous recovery, greatly aiding the Nuggets’ triumph. The Nuggets are currently considered one of the all-time greatest NBA teams after winning their first title.
