The Denver Nuggets became the newest team to add their name to this list of NBA champions, as they defeated the Miami Heat in five games to win the NBA championship. The 2023 Nuggets squad has been praised as being one of the best in recent memory. But could they beat one of the other great recent champions?
NBA fans on Reddit discussed which team between the 2023 Denver Nuggets and the 2020 Los Angeles Lakers would win in a best-of-7 series. The debate was quite split, with fans arguing for the Lakers citing their deep roster in 2020, whereas Nuggets supporters pointed out the Lakers having an easier tournament due to the NBA bubble.

Fans were also quick to point out that both starting fives had Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on their teams, playing a similar role for their teams as a regular 3-&-D star. KCP was credited as being a key piece for both championship teams, and it would be interesting to see which stint fans thought was more impressive.
2020 Lakers And 2023 Nuggets Were Dominant During Their Championship Runs
Regardless of which teams NBA fans picked between the 2020 Lakers and the 2023 Nuggets, there is no denying just how dominant both teams were. And they actually had a lot in common.
Led by superstar duos, with the Lakers having LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Nuggets being led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. On top of that, they had key role players such as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (for both teams), Rajon Rondo, Aaron Gordon, and Bruce Brown.
The Lakers and the Nuggets actually played in the playoffs this year, with the Nuggets sweeping LeBron and AD’s team.
This has caused a little bit of friction between both squads, with Nuggets HC Michael Malone taking shots at LeBron and the Lakers, and LeBron even responding in kind. Next season’s games between the two teams will be a must-see affair, as the Lakers may now have new rivals.
