Nuggets Strike Gold! The Year They Finally Found Their Pot of Rainbow-Colored Basketballs (It Wasn't Leprechaun Green)
The Denver Nuggets.

It's Not 1976 (Although That Was a Pretty Neat Year Too)
Die-hard Nuggets fans might know the team joined the NBA in 1976 after the ABA-NBA merger. They've had some stellar seasons, playoff runs that had us on the edge of our seats, but that elusive championship trophy? It remained frustratingly out of reach... for a while.
But then, there was 2023! Buckle up, because this is the year the Nuggets went from playoff contenders to champions, finally silencing the doubters (and maybe even a few grumpy gnomes).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Joking Around? Not This Time!
Led by the indomitable Nikola Joki?, who, by the way, put up some serious MVP numbers throughout the season and the finals, the Nuggets steamrolled their way through the playoffs. They even managed to dethrone the mighty (and historically Nuggets-trouncing) Los Angeles Lakers, a feat that had many fans wondering if they were dreaming.
The Miami Heat might have brought the sunshine, but the Nuggets brought the heat (pun fully intended) in the Finals. They defeated the Heat in a thrilling 5-game series, securing their first-ever NBA championship and leaving a whole city (and maybe a few random mountain goats) jumping for joy.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
Nuggets Champ-ionship Trivia: Did You Know?
- Joki?, the aforementioned Joker, didn't just lead the team to victory, he also snagged the Finals MVP trophy, solidifying his place as a Nuggets legend.
- This win also made the Denver Nuggets the last of the four surviving ABA teams to reach the NBA Finals, proving that good things really do come to those who wait (and play some phenomenal basketball).
So, there you have it! The year the Denver Nuggets finally struck championship gold: 2023.
