The Denver Nuggets are the rightful reigning NBA champions for the first time in franchise history.
And while they haven’t historically been the most stacked team in terms of talent, one could make a case for several players for being team — and even NBA — legends.
Carmelo Anthony, Alex English, and Dan Issel are just a handful of the great hoopers to ever represent the organization.
Nonetheless, Nikola Jokic has already established himself as the single-greatest player in Nuggets history, and the NBA 2K franchise is honoring him as such.

The reigning NBA Finals MVP was granted the highest rating in the upcoming edition of the game, leading all players with 98.
Jokic has established himself as the best player on Earth, and he reaffirmed that status during his unmatched postseason run, in which he established the record for the most triple-doubles.
Jokic is already the best passing big man to ever set foot on a basketball court, and his ability to dominate and pull the strings of the offense as the ultimate triple-threat player makes him a unique force we have never seen before.
The Nuggets suffered a big blow when they lost Bruce Brown, and winning back-to-back championships is one of the toughest teams any team could ever do.
But they will continue to have a big chance to go the distance for as long as Jokic is out there and healthy, especially if they manage to keep that core of Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray by his side for years to come.
