For the first time, the Denver Nuggets raised a championship banner to the rafters.
The crowd that was electric through the playoffs last season was deafening again and treated to a show as the Denver Nuggets players got their rings — and those were some big, heavily jeweled rings.

Nikola Jokic had approached the ceremony with the nonchalance he approaches a lot of the fanfare around basketball, but the smile showed just how much he enjoyed it.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone capped off the night and asked the crowd if they wanted to do this again.
