There was a distinct Missouri flavor on Monday night when the Denver Nuggets clinched the NBA title.

Michael Porter Jr. and Josh Kroenke, the Nuggets’ president, were part of the title-winning team, as Porter Jr. played 34 minutes and contributed 16 points and 13 rebounds with 3 assists.

Porter Jr. averaged 9.6 points in the NBA Finals, below his season average of 17.4 points, and against Miami, he made just 32.8% of his shots and just 14.3% on 3-pointers. Porter Jr. still contributed despite his struggles, and even scored on a through-the-legs dribble on a layup in a key sequence in the third quarter. He also averaged 8.4 rebounds, and helped contribute outside of scoring.

Porter Jr. is the first former Mizzou player to win an NBA championship as a player since Clay Johnson with the Lakers in 1982. Med Park and Win Wilfong won with the St. Louis Hawks in 1958, per Dave Matter.
