The Denver Nuggets are deserved champions. By the way, they had already won 4-0 in the semi-finals, there is really no measure on this team. The difference with other years is that this time Nikola Jokic was incredibly good. Without him, things would all look very different. What he shows seems so easy, but on the other hand, it is also very difficult to realize. The simplest basketball is the most difficult, but Jokic owns all facets of the game. It all looks awkward from what he's doing, like he's playing basketball for the first time, but his scanner on the court is incredibly sharp every game. Rarely makes mistakes.
He was maybe the 41th pick of his draft but he is the star of this team and multiple mvp. Of course without him they would be totally different and possibly no where near this success. We can say this for almost every team. It was impossible for three-peat Lakers without Shaq, it was impossible without Duncan on their multiple titles, impossible without Hakeem for 95 Rockets, and so on.. Jokic might even be considered a franchise player at this point, and I think rightfully so, and Nuggets would be nowhere without him naturally. I have my doubts about their future though. Can they be a multiple championship team? They have a hard future ahead of them.
