Both teams deserved to become the champion but there can only be one. I am a fan of both although generally, I am more of an NBA fan first before teams and specific players. I just always want all the teams to become very competitive and I am glad that most of the teams nowadays are capable of entering the playoffs. And just like you, I am also a fan of the underdogs, not just in basketball.
But if I were to pick a team, I would side with the Denver Nuggets. They are the #1 in the west and proved it by reaching the finals. And kudos to Denver's management for bringing very good role players into the team to help Jokic who always gives his best without much complaining while the other superstars are always pressuring their teams to provide another superstars and capable role players. So the team management is the big difference IMO. Miami is always contending in the east despite being short-handed with players only because their coach is just super good and flexible and Jimmy Butler's extraordinary leadership.
Of course, everyone is going to choose the Denver Nuggets to be the winner against the Miami Heat. That is not a surprise at all. The actual surprise is how well Miami Heat is currently performing. I just cannot shake the feeling that Miami Heat is going to show some surprises. They have been very inconsistent and it is really hard to predict the results of those games which are inconsistent. And these are the teams which can actually end up making history.
Everyone is saying that Nuggets are going to be the winners. But I believe people are in for a surprise
