First ring for Denver?
The 2022-2023 season is already historic for Nuggets fans. For the first time in its history, the roaster won the Western Conference final. And rather easily, with a 4-0 win over Lebron James’ Lakers.

Three years after the final lost against the Lakers, Jimmy Butler has a second chance to finally be crowned NBA champion with the Miami Heat, of which he asserts himself even more today as an exceptional leader, especially during this campaign of playoffs.

After leading 3-0, Jimmy Butler’s teammates scared each other, but finally managed to qualify in Game 7. But before that, Miami, eighth at the end of the regular season, was epic, d first in the playins, then in the playoffs.
Erik Spoelstra’s players eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks, including Giannis Antetopoumko, announced as favorites by many and who had finished as the Eastern Conference leader at the end of the regular season. Before leaving New York in the semi-finals.
This is also only the second time in history that a seeded No. 8 manages to win his ticket to the final. The first since the Knicks in 1999, then beaten by the Spurs. The Heat advance to their first final since 2020.
The team has also changed very little since the cruel defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers by Lebron James. Jimmy Butler, still there, wants to take revenge and win his first championship ring with the Miami Heat.
