The Denver Nuggets are NBA champions for the first time in the 47-year history of the franchise. After beating the Miami Heat, 94-89, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday, the Nuggets hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy and began their celebration after a dominant performance. Nikola Jokic was awarded Finals MVP after averaging 30.2 points, 14 rebounds and 7.2 assists over the series. After years of injury-riddled seasons to key players and disappointing playoff losses the Nuggets have finally reached the mountaintop.
