Some 500,000 people cheered the Denver Nuggets on their tour through the streets of the Colorado capital. Nikola Jokic, MVP of the Finals won over the Miami Heat; Jamal Murray; and the rest of the NBA champions were aboard fire trucks that left Union Station to finish Civic Center Park. During the entire course of about 4 miles, the Nuggets displayed the Larry O’Brien trophy of NBA champions.

The Serbian player was accompanied by his daughter and his wife. Aaron Gordon and Caldwell Pope could also be seen. This player won his second NBA champion ring, after the one in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers. But Pope lived his first parade because the celebrations with the Los Angeles team were canceled due to the pandemic. Christian Braun, who won the NBA as a rookie, climbed into the fire truck wearing a WWE wrestling champion belt.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
