The Ball Arena erupted in joy as the Denver Nuggets lifted their first-ever NBA Championship title on Monday night. The Nuggets waited 47 years to lay their hands on the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. Unlike their previous outings, the Miami Heat gave a tough fight in game 5 and maintained a steady lead at the end of the first three quarters. Despite the valiant efforts of Jimmy Butler’s men, the team couldn’t cross the line. On the other hand, the Denver franchise produced an unbreakable defense which the Heat could barely penetrate.  

Amid emotional cries and cheers, Nikola Jokic caught fans’ attention when he shared a heartwarming moment with his 1.5-year-old daughter. Following the wholesome moment, the picture with his daughter went viral as fans flooded social media with love.
