Jokic leads Denver Nuggets to first-ever NBA title
Serbian basketball superstar Nikola Jokic has made history by leading the Denver Nuggets to their first-ever NBA title in the 2022-23 season. The Nuggets clinched the title with a 4-1 series win over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
The Game Details
The Heat put up a tough fight in the Game 5 of the series, but the Nuggets were determined to make history in front of their fans. After the Heat finished the first half with a 51-44 lead over the Nuggets, the Nuggets made a roaring comeback in the third quarter, reducing the Heat’s lead to one point heading into the fourth quarter. In the final quarter, the Nuggets overcame their deficit and finished the game with a 94-89 win, securing their first-ever championship title.
Jokic named Finals MVP
Jokic was named the Finals MVP for his exceptional performances throughout the championship series. In the game 5, he led the scoring for the Nuggets with 28 points and 16 rebounds. This achievement has added another feather to Jokic‘s cap, making him the first-ever player in NBA history to lead the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists in the same season.
Jokic – The Lowest Drafted Player to Win Finals MVP Honours
Jokic‘s jersey number 15 may have represented the 15 players who were selected ahead of him in the 2014 draft, but he proved his worth by becoming the lowest drafted player ever to win the NBA Finals MVP honours. Jokic, who lost this year’s regular-season MVP award to Joel Embiid, has now won the regular season MVP honours in 2021 and 2022, along with the Finals MVP award.
