The Denver Nuggets have a terrific tandem with two players that they drafted and grew up together to take the team to the NBA Finals.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have become one of the best duos in the NBA this season, and they’re already drawing comparisons with other legendary duos.
Miami Heat’s Kyle Lowry recently was asked about which duo he could compare Jokic and Murray, and the point guard came up with a big response.
“Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, honestly.”

What Tim Duncan and Tony Parker achieved together with the San Antonio Spurs is out of reach for Jokic and Murray, but these two have the chance to create something good in Denver.
They are the perfect match and the Nuggets are taking advantage of that.
Michael Malone has these two players playing at a high level, and they haven’t reached their peak yet.
Jokic and Murray recorded a triple-double and double-double in Game 1, respectively, and they’re set to keep making history for the rest of the series.
Denver has a lot of talent on the roster, and it all starts with Jokic and Murray.
They will try to win Game 2 of this series to go to Miami with a comfortable advantage and try to sweep the Heat at home, just like they did with the Los Angeles Lakers.
