Duke basketball: Jack White wins NBA Finals with Denver Nuggets

Duke basketball forward Jack White is an NBA Champion with the Denver Nuggets.

In his rookie season in the NBA, former Duke basketball forward Jack White will be going home with an NBA Championship ring.

White’s Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat on Monday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, winning the series 4-1.

It was the first time the organization has even been in the NBA Finals, let alone winning a championship in its 47 year history.

The ex-Blue Devil did not play in the series — or postseason — as he was a healthy scratch but remained on the bench throughout the championship run.
