Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have been playing incredible basketball during this playoff run. The dynamic Denver duo have been scoring at a high level to take the Nuggets to their first NBA Finals and even secured a Game 1 win for the Mile High City.
One Reddit User pointed out that if Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic continue scoring at this rate and go on to win the NBA championship, they will be the highest-scoring duo to win a championship since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in 2001.
Shaq and Kobe averaged 30.4 points and 29.4 points, respectively. Currently, Murray and Jokic are averaging 27.6 points and 29.8 points, respectively.

Now, it is important to mention that the Nuggets have only played one game in the NBA Finals so far. And it is possible that their scoring averages go down, especially against a defensively savvy team like the Miami Heat. But the Nuggets duo could push themselves and make history.
Jokic And Murray Must Continue To Play Well To Win
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, without a doubt, are the two best players for the Nuggets. So it stands to reason that they will be expected to shoulder most of the offensive load in this series. The Nuggets can’t afford a bad game from either star, as it could give Miami the opening they need.
Donovan Mitchell of the Cavaliers recently stated that the versatility of the Nuggets makes them a very dangerous team. While that is true, the Nuggets will not find success against this gritty Miami team if either of their star players begins to falter. But considering how the duo have been playing, that doesn’t seem like it will happen.
