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. Behind their sudden meteoric rise, it seems, was the LeBron James? former Miami Heat teammate.

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

2-Time Champ talks about LeBron James

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.

The Nuggets were not as successful back then as they are now, and Miller revealed his role in turning The Joker?s team into ?Winners?.

How Miller Made Nuggets Champion Material

Before singing praises of his former teammate, Mike revealed how he helped the Nuggets turn into a winning franchise. ?I almost played every role there was,? he said.

Mike joined the team in the later stages of his career and did not get much playing time in Denver. His role was of a veteran leader who taught the young Nuggets roster the difference between 38 wins and 60 wins in the regular season. He was the voice in the locker room, and other players listened to him because of his Championship experience with King James.

Miller played only 2 seasons with the Nuggets and retired from the NBA soon after. But watching how the Nuggets franchise has grown over the years and become one of the best teams in the NBA, Mike Miller definitely did a great job guiding young Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
