Barack Obama Shares Message to Nikola Jokic and Denver Nuggets

Former president Barack Obama congratulated Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets finished the job on Monday night, defeating the Miami Heat in Game 5 to secure their first NBA Championship. The team has been receiving congratulatory messages from across the world, including one from former US President Barack Obama:

Congrats to the Denver @Nuggets and the remarkable finals MVP Nikola Jokić for bringing home the franchise’s first NBA Championship!

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 13, 2023

Obama congratulated the Nuggets and Finals MVP Nikola Jokic, who had a historically great run. Answering every question about his ability to dominate a playoff setting, Jokic reached heights that no player in NBA history has ever reached. Leading the NBA postseason in total points, rebounds, and assists, Jokic dominated every facet of the game in route to his first championship and Finals MVP award.

The party has just begun for Denver, as their championship parade is still to come. The team and their fans will celebrate this for much of the summer before shifting their focus to defending the title next season. This was truly a special moment for the Nuggets and their fanbase, as this team has trusted the process of building around Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Analysts are already discussing which teams are best equipped to take down Denver next season, but as many have noted, there doesn't seem to be a strong challenger waiting to dethrone them. A dominant group, these Nuggets are not going anywhere anytime soon. As long as Jokic is around, the Nuggets will be in the mix.
