ARVADA, Colo. — As the Denver Nuggets and entire city celebrate the team's first win against Miami Heat during Game 1 of the NBA finals, Denver7 is highlighting super fans who have been cheering the Nuggets on for decades.
"We knew we had good seats and we sat at the front quite a bit. Sitting down and going through the cards one day, I looked and then I looked again and I’m like, 'That sure looks like my mom' and sure enough it was, and I’m sitting to the side on the other card too," said Rizzuto. But it wouldn't be until 2023 that the Nuggets would finally make it to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
