The Denver Nuggets have a great rapport with the two players that they drafted and grew up together to lead the team to the NBA Finals.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have become one of the best duos in the NBA this season, and they are already drawing comparisons with other legendary duos.
Kyle Lowry of the Miami Heat was recently asked which pair he could compare Jokic and Murray to, and the point guard had a great response.
“Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, sincerely.”

What Tim Duncan and Tony Parker accomplished together with the San Antonio Spurs is beyond the reach of Jokic and Murray, but they both have a chance to do well in Denver.
They are a perfect match, and the Nuggets are taking advantage of it.
Michael Malone has these two players playing at a high level, and they have not yet reached their peak.
Jokic and Murray recorded a triple-double and double-double, respectively, in Game 1, and they look set to keep making history for the rest of the series.
Denver has a lot of talent on its roster, and it all starts with Jokic and Murray.
They will look to win Game 2 of this series to go to Miami with a comfortable advantage and look to sweep the Heat at home, just like they did with the Los Angeles Lakers.
