Denver Nuggets Cheerleader’s Wild Photos Go Viral Amid NBA Finals

Denver Nuggets Cheerleader's Wild Photos Go Viral Amid NBA Finals

The Denver Nuggets came into this year’s NBA Finals matchup against the Miami Heat as overwhelming favorites.

As the top team in the Western Conference, and one that made light work of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, Denver has consistently played top-tier basketball throughout this postseason run.

Few expect Miami to be more than a minor annoyance en route to the Nuggets’ inevitable championship – regardless of how the first few games go. There’s a reason Nikola Jokic’s wife has essentially already started celebrating.

As good as Denver’s players have been throughout the playoffs, it’s the Nuggets’ cheerleaders who have really stolen the show during the postseason.

One Nuggets cheerleader in particular, Peyton, went viral this week amid the NBA Finals.

Peyton obviously isn’t the only dancer to blow up online in this fashion. A Heat cheerleader’s provocative photos also caused something of a stir a few days ago, as did a New England Patriots dancer.

Cheerleading aside, though – it will be fascinating to see how this scrappy Miami group attempts to deal with the issues Jokic poses.

The Heat are an incredibly small team, so it’s not like they have a ton of size to throw at Jokic.

Moreover, even taking the two-time MVP out of the conversation, who sticks lengthy role players like Michael Porter Jr.?

Miami’s run has been incredible up to this point, but it’s hard to see them being able to do much of anything to Denver for more than one game.

The Nuggets are likely bringing a title home this year, and their cheerleaders will undoubtedly be there rooting them on every step of the way.
