Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets received their 2023 NBA Finals rings during a ceremony ahead of their season-opening clash against the Lakers on Tuesday night.
Jokić, the MVP of the five-game Finals series against the Heat, was the last to take to the court to receive his ring. He was introduced as Denver’s “Man in the Middle” and greeted NBA commissioner Adam Silver with a hug before being presented with his ring.
Denver’s rings were spectacular, and the team’s social media accounts shared an epic video which showcased them in greater detail. The decked out rings feature a side panel that slides out to reveal a 2023 NBA Finals banner, and have each player’s name and number engraved on the side over a team logo.
After serving a reminder to the Lakers of how they swept them in last season’s Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets then defeated their rivals by a score of 119–107, as Jokić opened the season with a 29-point, 13-rebound, 11-assist triple-double
The design of the rings left a strong impression on Nuggets fans, who took to social media with plenty of praise for the championship rings.
