The Denver Nuggets have just won their first championship in franchise history. Led by an all time run by Nikola Jokic and a supporting cast of Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. the Nuggets coasted through the playoffs. Today we look back at how the Nuggets were able to build this team through some amazing draft picks, smart trades and underrated free agency signings.

Giannis did come close to get back to the finals
Without Middleton he pushed the Celtics to 7
This year they didn't get close
I know lots of nuggets fans who were confident we could win the chip as soon as we made the Bruce and kcp trades, myself included. Lots of nuggets content creators have videos of it, even seen more than handful of large bets on them to win placed in the preseason so I don't really understand the "one random nuggets fan might've picked them" part
Vid is so good, the contest, the way you complement each other, like Nuggtes best duo, really good work guys, very refreshing
Bet you in another year, this team would look like a team that’s “unfair” when they contend for another championship. It’s going to be hilarious how much they are hated compared to how much they loved right now.
More like 56 because the ABA counts and they didn't win in the ABA either.
I think the nuggets will win 2 more championships out of the next 5. So by the time Jokic's current contract is done, they will have 3.
The Blazers have not been the same since Paul Allen died. Give the team to Phil Knight. Portland is an embarrassment. They suck.
Lol this is fascinating to see my Nuggets from a Portland perspective. I won’t say that I knew last summer that we’d win the title this year, but I definitely thought we had a shot when we FINALLY got the 3&D guys we’ve needed for years. But nobody had any idea what Jamal/MPJ would look like until early January (including them). That’s when I knew.
As for dynasty, I completely agree with guys. Back-to-back is absolutely on the table, especially if Bruce comes back. Then see where we go from there.
Loved this championship Run!!!!!!!

Millsap seems a "meet salary floor/give a vet a payday".
They just dumped Gallinari… so that leaves Jokic on a second round contract and Murray on a rookie contract – similar to Lou Dortz's deal in OKC (except "loyalty" instead of "experience").
Millsap was "prototype AG" – especially if you saw him in Utah…
You see his contract and kinda expect "20/10 team leader" – but his experience and "stretch big" game with solid NBA PF body made him really valuable to them.
Replace him with a prime version and you have more of the "lob/dunk" threat AG is now

This channel is IN NO WAY trying to give Karl Anthony-Towns for ANYTHING!!
Thank you.
Does Bones get/accept a ring?
Hold up did you just say will Barton was decent? 😂
Laker fan here! I actually had Nuggets winning it all from the start of the szn lol I thought we could at least take a couple of games off but jokic was too much
Yo, great video, you got yourself a new sub. I just released a super similar video on the same day on my channel, it was interesting to see the differences in how we laid the story out!
Stop bashing!! it’s the system!!! You guys simply don’t no basketball at all
I just think that Joker makes all players play harder and commit to their roles. If your best player is the most humble and unselfish dude ever, other players have no excuse to start acting up.
Magic Johnson (jokic)
Shawn Kemp (aaron gordon)
Steph Curry (jamal murray)
Klay Thompson (MPJ)
Tayshaun Prince (KCP)
Denver 🏔️✴️⛏️ nuggets 2023
The best NBA team and coaching staff of all time 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Never seen anything like it
Love this channel and these retrospectives. Keep it up guys.
I've been saying since the bubble that murray is a dog. The last 2 years I kept saying they don't have murray. Knew we'd beat the wolves. Initially had nerves about Phoenix, but as soon as I saw murray hyping the crowd up in game one, yelling we waited for this, I knew it was our year. Even after Phoenix tied the series 2-2 a friend was talking shit and I told him booker and kd aren't hitting 80% every game. This is the most organic championship team I think I've ever seen
