Despite being the top team in the Western Conference, many people still doubt the Nuggets' ability to win the ultimate NBA championship trophy. The reason for this doubt lies in the fact that they have achieved the top seed in their conference over the past few years but have ultimately failed to secure the NBA championship. The former Nuggets coach claims that only winning the championship can earn the Nuggets and their star player, Nikola Jokic, the respect they deserve.
Throughout their history, the Nuggets have never won an NBA championship. Their last league championship goes back to the ABA era. Therefore, for many years, the Nuggets have been striving to achieve their first NBA championship but have come up short every time. It's worth noting that the Nuggets have consistently performed well in the regular season, including in 2019, 2020, and this year, 2023, where they secured the top seed in the Western Conference. Their star player, Nikola Jokic, has won back-to-back regular-season MVP awards and is currently contending for a third consecutive MVP title. However, their disappointing playoff performances have subjected the Nuggets to criticism and even ridicule from some commentators.
Former NBA star Paul Pierce recently mentioned in an interview that among the top three teams in the Western Conference, he has the least confidence in the Nuggets. He stated that if they face the Lakers or the Warriors in the first round, they will definitely be eliminated, despite the Nuggets having a perfect record against the Warriors this season and the Lakers having won two games against them. Perhaps it's their historical record that has led to skepticism surrounding the Nuggets, and many NBA legends are not optimistic that the Nuggets will ultimately succeed in winning the championship.
However, this year in the NBA is witnessing a historic moment! |
