NBA Twitter reacts to Nuggets winning first NBA championship

NBA Twitter users posted mostly positive tweets after watching the Denver Nuggets win their first NBA championship in franchise history. It was the Nuggets’ first title in their 47-year history, but some fans wanted to see the Miami Heat put up more of a fight. Denver won the NBA Finals in only five games.

NBA Twitter reactions to the Denver Nuggets winning their first championship in their 47-year history

Nuggets fans were excited to witness Nikola Jokic win his first Finals MVP after finishing second in MVP voting behind Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. As a result, the eight-year veteran missed out on becoming the first player since Larry Bird (1984-86) to win three straight MVP awards.

However, Jokic ended up swapping a third-straight award for his first ring and Finals MVP. Furthermore, Christian Braun is the fifth player to win a national title and an NBA championship in consecutive years, joining Billy Thompson, Magic Johnson, Henry Bibby and Bill Russell. Braun also won three straight Class 6A state championships in high school.

The Denver Nuggets went into the playoffs, said to be a historically weak first seed, suspected to fade quickly. Up against the team chosen to win the west (Suns) and then the legends (Lakers). And we ran through everyone 16-4. We didn’t lose a single game by over 10 pts

I haven’t been happier for an NBA championship since the Spurs in 2014. Doesn’t match it obviously but I’m just excited to see a squad that was underrated and underappreciated just stick it to everyone and win it all in dominant fashion.

Congrats Nuggets & Nuggets Fans!
