Nuggets led by Nikola dominated playoffs and beat Jimmy Butler and Co. in just 5 games to lift the Larry O?Brien trophy last season. But the Denver franchise were not always this good. In fact, before The Joker took over the league, his team did not even make the playoffs between 2013 and 2018.

Apart from helping Bron win 2 Championships, the NBA star revealed how he taught Nikola Jokic?s Nuggets about “Winning”.

Retired NBA player and LeBron James? former teammate Mike Miller was a guest on Oddball with Amin Elhassan and Charlotte Wilder. Miller played for the Miami Heat during their Big 3 era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. He was a solid role player for the team, and his iconic three-pointer without a shoe in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals is one of the most memorable moments in Heat history.

Miller talked about the only question he gets asked everywhere he goes, ?How was it playing with LeBron James?? He reminisced about his time playing with the 4-time Champion and said, ?Obviously it was amazing, it was a blessing.?

After winning 2 Championships in Miami, Mike played a completely different role for his next teams. He joined the Denver Nuggets in 2015, around the same time Nikola Jokic was drafted into the NBA.
