DENVER, CO – MARCH 6: Jamal Murray points at Reggie Jackson of the Denver Nuggets after he made a three pointer over Precious Achiuwa of the Toronto Raptors during the fourth quarter of Denver’s 118-113 win at Ball Arena in Denver on Monday, March 6, 2023. SAN DIEGO — The range of emotions that will soon engulf Nuggets personnel on championship banner night is best filtered and summarized through three viewpoints.
Then there’s Jackson’s coach, the indefatigable Michael Malone, whose eyes will be locked on the empty space next to the shiny new banner.

Nikola Jokic sometimes conveys a public persona bordering on ambivalence toward having won the NBA title. He was quick to declare on national television that he was finally free to go home to Serbia as confetti rained at Ball Arena.
That occasion, with the Los Angeles Lakers fittingly in town to open 2023-24, will mark a final endpoint to victory lap season. Players are still hearing questions about the triumph for now. Even Jokic is still fondly reminiscing. He said Tuesday that throughout the summer, he occasionally re-watched highlights from the playoff run.
