Instant Observations and Social Media Buzz
As the Denver Nuggets hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy on Monday night, claiming their first NBA championship in franchise history, the internet erupted with excitement. Here are some instant observations and reactions from the NBA community on Twitter:
Nikola Jokic's Historic Performance
Nikola Jokic was named Finals MVP after another dominant performance in Game 5. The Serbian superstar averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in the series, leading the Nuggets to a stunning victory over the Miami Heat.
Jamal Crawford's Bold Prediction
20-year NBA veteran Jamal Crawford made a bold prediction before the Finals, stating that the Denver Nuggets would win the championship. Crawford's prediction turned out to be spot-on, as the Nuggets proved to be the stronger team throughout the series.
Denver's Historic Sweep
The Nuggets' victory was particularly impressive given that they completed a four-game sweep of the Western Conference champions, the Phoenix Suns. Denver became the first team since the 2007 San Antonio Spurs to sweep the Western Conference in the Finals.
