The NBA Finals are here at last, and suffice to say this is not the series matchup many were expecting.
The Denver Nuggets? They were the No. 1 seed, a juggernaut hiding in plain sight all season that made light work of the Western Conference.
The Miami Heat were the No. 8 seed, a few play-in minutes from missing the playoffs entirely, and had to upset the top-two seeds in the Eastern Conference and outlast a possible 0-3 comeback from the Boston Celtics, but here they are. Few gave the Heat a chance even in the first round, and they were extreme long shots to make the Finals.
So can Miami continue this miracle run, do the impossible, and become the first ever No. 8 seed to win an NBA championship?
