Denver Nuggets Close in on History as Reggie Jackson Reflects on Long Journey

As the Denver Nuggets pulled off a crucial victory in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, veteran point guard Reggie Jackson couldn’t help but feel his own place in this big puzzle. After a career spanning many years and teams, Jackson knows all too well how it feels to chase something for so long and not quite catch up.

This time around, however, the Nuggets are in the driver’s seat. With a 3-1 lead against the Miami Heat, Denver has one foot firmly placed on the championship door—but it won’t be an easy task for Jackson and company to get there.

But even if this isn’t his moment of glory, Reggie remains proud of what the team has already achieved. After a tumultuous regular season, the Nuggets were one of the toughest teams to beat in the playoffs.

“We have a chance to make history and it doesn’t come often – we all know that,” Jackson said. “It’s been really hard work and this organization has put everything together for us so I just wanted to do my part.”

Indeed, the Nuggets have come together and made this run almost seem effortless—but there’s still work to do if they want to hoist the trophy. Denver is now just two wins away from making that dream a reality.

The veteran leadership of Jackson combined with the youthful exuberance of Nuggets stars like Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray has been the driving force behind this special run for Denver. It’s been a long journey, but if they can keep their focus and stay sharp in these next two games, a championship could be theirs.
