The Mile High City celebrated its newest champion one last time Tuesday before turning the page on the new season.
The stands were packed by the time the Nuggets raised the first championship banner in franchise history and awarded their heroes with the spoils of victory. The ring, of course, is extravagant, complete with moving parts including a sliding tray featuring the championship banner. And and abundance of gold and jewels."You guys have been the best fans in the NBA for eight years," Malone said."And we appreciate that. Last year was amazing. We got one ring.
"This is the first time we're going through this," Malone said. .. I think we have — the starting unit especially — we have guys in the starting unit that are mature, veteran mindset.

They're surrounded in the starting five by Michael Porter Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon in a unit optimally balanced with size, athleticism, playmaking and defense.

That's felt nowhere in Denver more than the departure of Bruce Brown, who was by the Indiana Pacers.
