The Denver Nuggets won their first NBA Championship in franchise history on Monday night (June 12), beating the Miami Heat 94-89 in Game 5 of the 2023 NBA Finals. Led by Nikola Jović and Jamal Murray, the Nuggets barely held on and were losing multiple times throughout the game. But they managed to fight their way to a victory, and Jović was crowned MVP as his team members shed a few tears.

As expected, the Ball Arena in the Mile High City exploded in celebration while Jović’s two giant Serbian brothers lifted Nuggets coach Michael Malone into the air. It was a sight to see, and the world was clearly watching.

The game quickly became a trending Twitter topic, and several Hip-Hop figures took to the social media platform to congratulate the team. DJ Quik wrote simply, “Congratulations Denver Nuggets,” while former Tommy Boy A&R Dante Ross noted, “Fantastic game The Heat have mad heart.”
