NBA champion Denver Nuggets may not surrender trophy for foreseeable future
The newly crowned NBA champions – they got there Monday night, beating the Miami Heat 94-89 to end the NBA Finals in five games – have five starters that are all 30 and under. They have a superstar leading the way, an elite second option, and a slew of really good players who could have bigger roles elsewhere yet chose to be part of something more meaningful.
Even in a championship moment, Malone is already thinking about more. Riley, the Heat president and a nine-time champion as a coach, player and executive, is wired the same way.
“I think there’s more to come, actually, from Jok,” Nuggets guard Jamal Murray said. “I think we haven’t seen a side of Jok that we are going to see where he can be just pure dominance all the way, the whole game, even more than he has been.”Murray is to Jokic what Dwyane Wade was to LeBron James, what Kobe Bryant was to Shaquille O’Neal , what Scottie Pippen was to Michael Jordan. He is Robin next to Batman, a guy who would be a No.
“To be here just kind of rounds it out and shows that when we are given the right circumstances and everybody healthy, God willing, we can do it,” Murray said. “I think when we’re playing our best basketball, we are a very hard team to stop.”To be fair, this wasn’t the toughest path a team ever took to a title. Denver beat two No. 8 seeds – Minnesota and Miami – along with a No. 7 seed in the Los Angeles Lakers and a No. 4 seed in Phoenix to win this championship. But it was dominant.
