The Nuggets’ first NBA championship gives Kroenke another crown but he won’t say which one was most satisfying. He says it’s like having kids: He loves them all.
, Kroenke reflected on his football, hockey and basketball titles and couldn’t pick one over the other.
The Nuggets were a founding franchise in the old ABA and played for that league’s championship in 1976, falling in six games to Julius Erving’s New York Nets. Later that year, the NBA absorbed those teams along with the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers, both of whom made the Finals long before Denver did.
Even with the great duo of NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, the top-seeded Nuggets didn’t have an easy time dispatching the No. 8 seed Heat. “But that was a dogfight, and for our guys to go out there and persevere and win that thing, that was awesome.”
