The Denver Nuggets have breezed through the playoffs so far. That makes it easy to overlook the fact that this team has led the franchise to the NBA Finals for the first time in its history.
But Denver fans know it, and they appreciate the stars that have made it possible deeply. A mural of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray went up in Denver recently, and fans on social media love it.

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are on pace to be the highest-scoring duo in the NBA playoffs since Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. That would be an amazing accomplishment if they can do it, but for Denver fans, they are already the best duo in the league.

Murals go up to celebrate their greatness and to signify the importance of people to the area they are put up in. But once they’re done, they also become a site fans can visit and take pictures, just as this fan plans on doing.
So fire! I need to take a pic here https://t.co/a6wSpEMZ4s

There’s a lot to be said about what Jokic and Murray have done for the Nuggets. But even beyond that, the painting itself is amazing. And another fan put it very simply.
Holy shit this is fire…

The Nuggets look primed to win it all, but the Miami Heat are unlikely to just roll over. And no one knows that better than the fans. One went as far as to say that if the Nuggets fail to win the championship, this mural could get taken down, really reasserting the importance of getting it done.

Nikola Jokic And Jamal Murray Are Earning Comparisons To Other Legendary NBA Duos
As mentioned above, their play is already putting the Joker and Murray in the same conversations as Kobe and Shaq. But Kyle Lowry, their opponent, has compared them to another highly successful NBA duo.
“Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, honestly… Jamal and Jokic, they’re deadly,” Lowry said.
The Denver Nuggets have lost just three games in the playoffs so far. If they can also steamroller the Heat and clinch the championship, this will go down as one of the most impressive runs in history. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have firmly put Denver on the map, and it looks like the city is more than grateful.
