Each year, these are the same images of jubilation, and of drunken players and coaches. The Denver parade was no exception to the rule, and it unfortunately ended in a dramatic way when a police officer was run over by a fire engine carrying several players. Crushed by the truck as he drove through traffic, the officer was rushed to Denver Medical Center, where he underwent emergency surgery to prevent amputation.
Before that, Mike Malone had put on a show with a very special T-Shirt (“Put this in your pipe and smoke it”), a nod to his punchline after the victory in Game 1 against the Lakers. ” It affects me ! It’s an amazing experience! I have a crazy idea: Let’s do it again! I want to be on another tank. I want to do another show and do this thing again.”
“We will remember it all our lives! »
As for the players, we will remember the emotion of Jamal Murray. The Denver point guard still can’t get over being NBA champion after what he had been through two years ago. “The best time of the day is just being there. It’s not to take videos. It’s just to be there, to enjoy the fans… They gave me energy, they gave me life during the matches, and I can only thank them. »
And Nikola Jokic in all this? Her daughter in her arms, he also got loose ! “You know I said I didn’t want to stay for the parade, but I really wanted to stay for this parade” he launched to the crowd. “This is the happiest day of my f…in my life!” It’s incredible ! We will remember it all our lives! This title is for you. We love you Denver! »
