Nuggets in 5! That was my original thought. Nuggets finished all series in their conference pretty fast. The expectation was Bucks, Celtics or Sixers playing in the Finals but Heat made one of the biggest surprises in history. They could only win one game though. If other teams had been here we might watch a longer series. That doesn't matter anymore. Nuggets got the well deserved first title.

Denver Nuggets is the 2023 NBA Champion. Nikola Jokic is the 2023 NBA Finals MVP!
